I do not like how I have to pull my handle and kick the lever, what should I do?

We understand that some customers prefer not to pull the handle and kick the lever on their Troll Tamer because they consider it more secure to use the trolling motor pin and base together to lock it down.

In any case, to adjust your troll tamer so that you DO NOT have to pull the handle and kick the lever, you will need to loosen the two jam nuts on the bottom of the troll tamer and turn the threaded “spearhead” counterclockwise so it lengthens the troll tamer.

By lengthening this piece you will raise the trolling motor high enough so that the pin inside the bracket of the trolling motor does not engage. Therefore, the only thing holding down the trolling motor is our base and now all you must do is kick the lever, lift, and your trolling motor will deploy.
