Lift Vantage with Dead Batteries

[bigbluepirahna]

Hi All

Question: if batteries die while the vantage is down, is there a way to get it back up manually? Flipped a breaker the other day and got me panicked since I was a long way from access and didn't know how would trailer it with it down.

Thanks

You would have to manually loosen the bracket and tilt the motor forward until the prop is out of the water. I have had to do that a few times when mine has gotten stuck all the way down. I think the raise/lower feature works off 12 volts, so I doubt the batteries would be so dead it wouldn't work at all.
