Unplug the trolling motor after each use and when charging the battery.
An operating or charging battery produces gas that can ignite and explode, spraying out sulfuric
acid, which can cause severe burns. Ventilate the area around the battery and wear protective
equipment when handling or servicing batteries.
Performing service or maintenance without first disconnecting the battery can cause product
damage, personal injury, or death due to fire, explosion, electrical shock, or unexpected motor
starting. Always disconnect the battery cables from the battery before maintaining, servicing,
installing, or removing motor components.
Do not allow children to operate the electric outboard motor.
Do not modify the unit in any way or add accessories not intended for this product.
Do not submerse the motor upper-unit controller box. If unit is accidentally submersed
disconnect battery right the way. The motor need a full service within 24 hours if such a water
damage.
Always disconnect power of the motor when replacing propeller or transport.
To prevent accidental damage of the fiberglass shaft, do not over tighten the mounting bracket.
Only use this product between the temperatures of -20C to +45C (-4F to +113F).
Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product, it is recommended to use Seamax pure
copper power cord extension kit.
Wire and Cable Routing
Route the trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other boat wiring. Sensitive
electronics, such as depth finders, should be connected directly to the main engine battery. Single battery
systems require separate connection cables.
Battery
Use 12V Deep Cycle Marine Batter (24/27/31DC). To extend running time, either purchase a larger
capacity or an additional battery can be used. As a general rule, deep cycle batteries with a higher
amp‑hour rating or reserve capacity rating will provide longer run times and better performance.
