Checking the Propeller Clearance
Before turning on the trolling motor, you must make sure there is enough clearance between the propeller and the hull through the entire rotation of the motor shaft. Installing the motor with insufficient space between the propeller and the hull may result in personal injury and property damage if the propeller contacts the hull during use.
-
Rotate the propeller drive motor manually to check the clearance through a complete 360-degree rotation of the shaft.
