ELECTROfISHING
BOATS
Before using your new electrofishing boat, please
read and perform the following procedures.
During shipping it is possible for damage to occur.
Also, nuts, bolts, or screws may have vibrated loose.
1. Give your boat a good visual inspection for
possible shipping damage.
2. Make sure battery selector switch is OFF.
3. Remove the six 1/4-20 bolts holding the pilot deck
cover on. The pilot deck is located between the
Console and the Generator housing (7/16" wrench
required).
Remove the pilot deck cover revealing the TS-5
terminal strip and pump compartment. Remove
protective cover over terminal strip.
4. Check all of the screws on the TS-5 terminal
strip, pump bases, and boat ground buss bar
to make sure that none have vibrated loose
(Phillips screwdriver required).
5. After thorough inspection of this area, replace
the pilot deck cover and tighten bolts.
6. Inspect the center
console. Remove
the top mounting
Phillips screw from
the outboard throttle
and gear shift control
box. Remove the
1/4-20 bolt in front of
the outboard control
box on the side of
the console. Remove
the two 1/4-20 bolts
on the other side of
the console (Phillips
screwdriver and 7/16"
wrench are required).
7. Rotate the console
forward, resting
it on the top of
the fish tank lids.
Make sure your Battery Selector Switch, located on the
port side of steering & control console, is in the "OFF"
position.
8. Check all the screws on the terminal strips, used and not used, for
tightness. Check all instrument mounting screws and electrical
connections. Check all the hardware mounting screws and boat
ground buss bar screws (Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers,
5/16", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" wrenches are required).
9. Rotate the console back to its upright position. Re-secure the
console fasteners.
10. Open the access hatch on the front of the console (the circuit
breaker and patch panel compartment). Visually inspect
all the breaker holders for tightness. Close and latch the
compartment.
11. Check tightness of all mounting bolts around the fish holding
tank, battery compartment, console, pilot deck and generator
housing (7/16" wrench is required).
