The Tri-Lobe handle is an extendable, ergonomic handle for your R3 trolling motor. It's just another way that MotorGuide allows you to customize your motor for perfect feel and control for you.
If you think of your boat and motor as your car, then think of the BluVis display as your dashboard behind the wheel. The BluVis Multi-Function display shows your direction (forward or reverse), precise speed settings at one of ten levels, and battery voltage levels. When you're ready to move, the directional arrows will tell you which direction your motor is pointed in. When you're moving, the 10-level-display will show you how much more or less speed you have available. When you turn your motor off, for three seconds your 10-level-display will illuminate a single bar to show you how much battery power is left on your trolling motor before needing a charge.
The Tri-Lobe handle is an extendable, ergonomic handle for your VariMAX trolling motor. It's just another way that MotorGuide allows you to customize your motor for perfect feel and control for you.
MotorGuide VariMAX models are the newest in digital technology for your trolling motor fishing experience. With VariMAX, you choose the speed that you travel, not the motor. Added bonus? Allowing choice in motor speed results in sustained battery life. You will fish over three-times longer than your average five-speed motor. Variable speed + Maximum battery power = VariMAX.

Every 100 hours of use or every year (which ever comes first) you should lubricate all of the trolling motor's pivot points with a nonaerosol, nonsolvent based lubricant.
This image shows all of the pivot points for a trolling motor mount.
Remember, never use aerosol lubricant to grease or oil any part of the unit. Many aerosol lubricants contain harmful propellants that cause damage to various parts of the trolling motor.
Also, check the tightness of bolts, nuts and other fasteners.
The taper-lock style transom mount is designed with a stainless-steel pin that ensures solid engagement in seven adjustment positions. It allows for no slack. Its simplicity includes a one-touch, rapid slide-depth adjustment collar and "No Pinch" tilt mechanism. It is the easiest, and yet, most advanced transom mounting system on the market.
MotorGuide's exclusive isolator design acts as a built-in shock absorber. Simply stated, yes, the Gator Flex mount really will flex upon inpact. Don't let anything hold you back while you're out on the water.

MotorGuide has developed a superior technology that has come to be called the "Digital advantage," meaning you're automatically at an advantage when you upgrade to a Digital model. This advantage encompasses several key elements: variable motor speed, a completely-sealed module that is easily serviced, increased battery life, and the MicroSwitch.
First, that depends on whether you want a transom mounted motor or a bow mounted motor. If you go with a transom mounted motor then you need to know the distance from the transom to the waterline when your boat is loaded. You want to take that distance and add at least 20 inches to it. If there isn't a shaft in that size then round up. Let's say the distance is from the transom to the waterline is 10 inches. You then add 20 inches to that and the length of shaft you want is 30 inches.
If you want a bow mounted motor then you take the length from the top of the bow (where the motor would be mounted) to the waterline when the boat is loaded. You then add 20 inches to that number and then round up to the next longest shaft if you have to. So, if the distance from the bow to the water is 15 inches then you will add 20 inches to that. You come up with 35 inches but find that there is no motor for the brand you want with a 35 inch shaft. Therefore, all you have to do is round up to the 36 inch shaft. Simple, right?
