DEPLOYMENT
Pressing on the quick locking and release lever (refer to diagram on page 4)
at the same time as pushing the shaft forward will allow the motor to release
from the cradle. NOTE – Your Watersnake motor is not designed to release
from the cradle by pressing on the lever alone. Applying excessive pressure to
the release lever can lead to deployment diffi culties.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Hold the motor shaft with one hand, loosen the depth collar adjustment screw
and set the motor to the desired depth. Then retighten the adjusting screw on
the depth collar securely.
STOWING
When your Watersnake motor is not in use always stow and store it properly.
Press the quick locking and release lever and raise the motor, pulling towards
the stern of your boat until it is secure on the locking cradles and locked into
the horizontal (stowed) position. A fi nal pull on the shaft of the motor may be
necessary to ensure it has locked into place on the cradle.
(refer to diagram on page 4)
DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES
A 12 v deep cycle marine battery is required for normal operation and
continued use of your Watersnake motor. 12 v deep cycle marine batteries are
constructed using thicker plates and a denser active material. They are built to
withstand repeated charge and recharge cycles. Deep cycle marine batteries
are specifi cally designed to deliver sustained power with low current draw over
extended periods of time. Car / Truck / Motorcyle batteries are not designed
in the same way and are more useful for providing high bursts of power for
short periods. Use of car / truck / motorcycle batteries can cause damage to
electronic components within your Watersnake motor.
