*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*

Brand new Force owner. Used for first time this past weekend. Questions if you dont mine me asking:
If I get hung up shallow, get in lay downs, and so on. How can I lift the trolling motor AND still use it to get away, get off things?
If I unlock and start lifting it wants to store to the side and will not operate. How do I turn this off or bypass? Software updated to 3.0 now

*I had nothing but troubles when I installed the panoptix in boat with two new Garmin fish finders **allabout.wiki/iz8t** lost sonar this and that .. after doing a lot of reading this thing needs to be direct to battery not to fuse box or spliced into a hot wire . I took everything apart today hooked it up to a stand alone battery and not one error at all . I might get a kayak battery just for this to run on . going this weekend to big musky lake I can not wait !!!!*

Any chance of a salt water model being released in the near future?

I'd like to 1stly know how to turn it on. You say "1st select menu". I did that but it won't even come on
