Specifications

Assembly

MOUNTING THE MOTOR
Install the motor on the transom of the boat. Be sure to tighten the clamp knob (4) by turning clockwise securely To loosen the clamp knob (4) by turning counterclockwise.

WARNING
When tilting motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.

CAUTION
Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.

BRACKET ADJUSTMENT

You can lock your motor in a vertical position, angle it for shallow water or tilt it completely out of the water.

• Firmly grasp the control head or steel shaft.
• Depress and hold the tilt lock lever (3).
• Tilt to any of the positions on the mounting bracket.
• Release the lever (3).

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

• Firmly grasp the shaft and hold it steady.
• Loosen the steering tension knob (3) and depth collar knob (4) until the tube slides freely.
• Raise or lower the motor (8) to the desired depth.
• Tighten depth collar knob (4) to secure the motor in place.

IMPORTANT
When setting the depth, be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12” (30 cm) to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The propeller must be completely submerged.

STEERING ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the steering tension knob (15) to provide enough tension to allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in position without being held or; Tighten the knob and lock the motor in a preset position to leave your hands free for fishing.

OPERATION

TILT TWIST TILLER
These motors offer a choice of five forward and three reverse speeds. The speed control may be operated in either direction, forward or reverse.

• Turn the tilt twist tiller handle (1) counterclockwise from O (off) to increase reverse speed.
• Turn the tilt twist tiller handle (1) clockwise from O (off) to increase forward speed

Thrust decreases as you approach O from either direction. The numbers printed on the twist grip handle represent a percentage of maximum thrust. The twist grip tiller handle is shipped in the down position. Firmly pull the handle up to the horizontal position. The handle has five available positions: 45º down, horizontal, 15º, 30º and 45º tilted up. The handle locks in the horizontal position, but can be tilted down by pushing the release button (16) located on the left underside of the handle pivot.

CAUTION
Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.

battery

12 V BATTERY INFORMATION
NOTE: Battery sold seperately.
The motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 V battery. For best results it is recommended to use a deep cycle marine battery with a minimum of 105 ampere hour rating. As a general on the water estimate, your 12 V motor will draw one ampere per hour for each pound of thrust produced when the motor is running on high. The actual ampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and operation requirements. Always store battery at full charge when not in use. Battery life will be extended by charging each time battery is used and every two weeks when not in use. (Use a lamp timer and charge each day for 1 hour even if battery is not use as this will help maintain a full battery level.)
NOTE: Only trickle charge your battery to full power, do not speed/rapid charge the battery as this will shorten its
life.
If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard it is strongly recommended to use a separate battery for trolling motor to ensure of enough start up power for the gasoline motor.

BATTERY METER
The LED provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in the battery. The LED’s only illuminate when the motor in the ON position. The gauge reads as follows:

• Four lights indicate full charge.

• Three lights indicate good charge.

• Two lights indicate low charge.

• One light indicates recharge.
  BATTERY CONNECTION
  12 V Systems

• Connect the positive (+) red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal.

• Connect the negative (-) blace lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
  NOTE: If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner’s manual.

WARNING

• Before connecting battery, make sure the tiller twist handle is in the off position.
• Use only 6 gauge wire to extend power lead.
• Improper wiring of 12 V system could cause battery explosion!
• Keep leadwire wing nut connection tight and solid to the battery terminals.
• Locate battery in a ventilated compartment.

IMPORTANT

This is supplied as a quick reference guide however battery types, brands and sizes may vary in performance and abilities. Always read your battery manufacturers manual for specific battery requirements or contact the manufacturer for best practices and/or advice.

PROPELLER REPLACEMENT

PROPELLER REPLACEMENT
Hold the propeller (10) and loosen the prop nut (12) with a pliers or a wrench.

• Remove prop nut (12) and washer (13).
  NOTE: If the drive pin is sheared/broken, you will need to hold the shaft steady with a screwdriver blade pressed into the slot on the end of the shaft.

• Turn the old prop to horizontal (as illustrated) and pull it straight off. If the drive pin falls out, push it back in.

• Align new propeller with drive pin.

• Install prop washer and prop nut.

• Tighten prop nut 1/4 turn past snub. (25-35 inch lbs.)

MPORTANT
If the prop nut is overtightened it may cause damage to the prop or cause too much pressure/strain on the motor which may cause overheating or premature battery drain.
CAUTION
Disconnect the motor from the battery before beginning any prop work or maintenance.

maintenance

• After use, these units should be rinsed with fresh water, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spray.
• The propeller must be cleaned of weeds and fishing line. The line can get behind the prop, wear away the seals and allow water to enter the motor. Check this after every 20 hours of operation.
• Before each use, check to see that the prop nut is secure.
• To prevent accidental damage during trailering or storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is off of the water. For prolonged storage, lightly coat all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.
• For maximum performance, restore battery to full charge before each use.
• Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or emery cloth.
• The weedless wedge propeller is designed to provide absolute weed free operation with very high efficiency. To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with fine sandpaper.
  NOTE: Replace propeller if unable to repair.

Troubleshooting

obstructions. The motor may have gone into current limit. To reset: return to off position, remove obstruction and resume operation.
Check battery connections for proper polarity.
Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion free. Use fine sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.
Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
Motor looses power after a short running time| Check battery charge, if low, restore to full charge.
Motor is hard to steer| Loosen the steering tension knob on the back of bracket.
Lubricate the composite shaft.
Your experience prop vibration during normal operation| **** Remove and rotate the prop 180º. See removal instructions in prop section.
