BATTERY AND POWER
CAUTION: Please read the following information before you
connect your electric motor to your ba eries.
BEST PRACTICES
INSTALLING AND CONNECTING YOUR VENOM MOTOR
1. Your Watersnake motor is designed to be powered by a 12v deep cycle or
LifePO4 battery that should output no more than 14.5v. If the voltage input to
your Watersnake motor exceeds 14.5v it may damage the sensitive electronics
and void your warranty. A dedicated battery system is preferable. Do not
connect other items like fish finders or lighting to the trolling motor
batteries. If you are unsure about the voltage output of your batteries,
contact your battery supplier or consult a marine auto electrician.
2. This Watersnake motor is compatible with a battery system that is being
charged by an alternator or solar system, so long as the voltage input to the
Watersnake motor does not exceed 14.5v whilst the battery is being charged.
Check this using the digital voltage meter on the head of the motor. See page
16 for more information.
3. Route the wiring from the batteries to the trolling motor on an alternate
route or path to other wiring on the boat. If possible, it is preferable the
wire is fitted to the opposite side of the boat to other wiring.
4. If you have to extend the wiring to connect the motor please review the
extending battery leads section of the manual (page 9) so you fully understand
this process.
5. This Venom trolling motor requires a circuit breaker or inline fuse to
protect the motor. See page 8 for more information.
BATTERY TYPE
USE A 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE OR A 12V LIFEPO4 BATTERY
12V DEEP CYCLE BATTERY
Deep-cycle batteries deliver sustained power with low current draw over
extended periods. They can be drained to low levels without developing a
“memory” and can be fully recharged hundreds of times over their working
lives. Do not use a standard car, truck or marine batteries (called a cranking
battery). They are designed to provide a pulse of “cranking power” over a
short period, can develop a “memory” preventing complete recharge and can
produce current surges that may damage sensitive electronic components on your
Watersnake.
LITHIUM BATTERIES
TERNARY LITHIUM BATTERY WARNING Ternary Lithium batteries must not be used with this Watersnake motor as their voltage output is too high.
www.watersnake.com.au
7
BATTERY AND POWER CONTINUED
12V LIFEPO4 LITHIUM BATTERY
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) are the safest lithium battery type. We
recommend doing your research on a LiFePO4 battery before purchasing to make
sure you are purchasing from a reputable company and the battery has a maximum
voltage output under 14.5V. There are many cheap lithium batteries on the
market that can be harmful to your Watersnake motor.
INLINE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
An inline fuse or circuit breaker is required when connecting your Watersnake
Venom motor to the battery. This is a connection that joins the motor battery
cable to the battery and shuts the motor off in the event of overload or short
circuit.

EXTENDING BATTERY LEADS
The longer your battery cable needs to be, the thicker it needs to be to avoid damaging voltage drop. The supplied cable has the correct wire gauge (thickness) for its length. But if you need to extend the length by more than 30%, you will need to replace the existing cable completely with a new longer thicker cable. This means the entire cable will be the correct wire gauge for the new length. See below to find the correct wire gauge for your motor thrust and required cable length. Only use twin-sheathed tinned cable.

Note that above table is intended as a guide only. Your local electrical
supplier will be able to advise in greater detail based on your particular set
up and requirements.
BATTERY CHARGING
Charging a battery while it is powering the motor will increase the voltage
delivered to the motor. This motor can be powered by a charging battery (e.g.
charging with an alternator or solar panels) as long as the voltage it
receives does not exceed 14.5 volts. Exceeding 14.5 volts will potentially
damage electrical components in the motor and is not covered by warranty.
When you are off the water and are charging your battery at home for long
periods of time via a 240v or 110v AC charger we recommend you disconnect the
motor from the battery.
AVOID USING STORE-BOUGHT BATTERY BOXES WITH BUILT-IN CIRCUITRY
Battery Boxes use low quality electrical components that cannot handle the
high current loads that trolling motors draw. We recommend connecting your
Watersnake motor directly to a deep cycle or LiFePO4 batteries using the
provided battery leads.

CONNECTING YOUR MOTOR TO THE BATTERY
All Watersnake wiring connections should conform to best marine standards.
Soldered, sealed and heat-shrink protected. If you doubt your ability to
produce quality waterproof connections or lack the equipment, consult a marine
technician or auto electrician.
· Your Watersnake comes factory-fitted with a standard length of twin flex
wiring with ring terminals to attach to the battery.
· Before connecting the motor’s cables to the battery terminals, ensure all
switches are in the OFF position and stand clear of the propeller.
· Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black cable to
the negative (-) terminal, making sure the terminals are clean before doing
so. A clean connection will minimise power wastage and give you maximum power
from the battery.
· The voltage input must be 14.5V or lower. Voltage input above 14.5V will
damage the motor and void the warranty.
· If you intend to charge your battery via an alternator or solar panel, it is
important that the battery voltage output does not exceed 14.5v. If you are
unsure of the voltage your battery will output, consult a marine technician or
auto electrician.

DIGITAL VOLTAGE METER
The Digital Voltage Meter on the motor head shows how much voltage the battery
is delivering to the motor. In normal operation, the voltage should be between
12 volts and 14.5 volts, depending on your battery type. LiFoPO4 batteries
will deliver a constant voltage as their charge is depleted. Deep Cycle
batteries will slowly deliver less voltage as their charge is depleted – a
reading of less than 12 volts indicates that your deep cycle battery is
severely discharged and should not be used until it is recharged. Voltage of
less than 12v will inhibit the performance of your motor.
WARNING
If the voltage on the digital voltage meter displays above 14.5 volts the
motor should be disconnected from the battery.

RECOMMENDATIONS
WHEN USING YOUR WATERSNAKE MOTOR IN THE WATER
Upon connecting your battery to your motor, and before setting off in your
boat, make sure that your trolling motor is mounted correctly and stowed
securely. Of course once you engage your Watersnake motor for use make sure
that it is in the right place, not too low or too high. Once you are in deep
water, you should make sure that you gradually increase the speed of your
trolling motor, do not accelerate it up to full speed right away. For example,
if you have a 5 speed trolling motor, don’t click through all of the other
speeds really fast to get to 5, slowly go up to 1 speed, 2 speed, and so on.
It is recommended not to run your trolling motor out of water for long periods
of time.
AFTER EVERY USE
· Disconnect motor from battery. · Recharge battery as soon as possible. · DO
NOT PRESSURE WASH, EVEN AFTER FRESHWATER USE. · Wipe your motor down with a
wet rag. Concentrate on areas where salt, dirt and weed fragments are likely
to lodge propeller, motor housing, composite shaft, depth collar and exposed
parts of the mount assembly. · Wipe these areas with a cloth soaked in warm
soapy water and allow to dry. · Apply a light coating of a non-staining
silicone, petroleum-based or lanolin spray to protect and lubricate exposed
parts. Wipe over with a soft, dry cloth. · Store your Watersnake motor
DISCONNECTED from its battery. · If boat is stored outdoors, remove Watersnake
and store securely indoors in a cool, dry place. · If Watersnake is
permanently mounted to the boat outdoors, consider protecting it from harsh
sunlight and the elements with a tarpaulin or other
cover.
