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. It is recommended not to run
your trolling motor out of water for long periods of time.
AFTER EVERY USE
•
Disconnect the motor from the battery.
•
Recharge the 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, alloy
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 the boat is stored outdoors, remove the Watersnake motor and store
securely indoors in a cool, dry place.
•
If the Watersnake motor is permanently mounted to the boat outdoors,
consider protecting it from harsh sunlight and the elements with a tarpaulin
or other cover.
