GENERAL INFORMATION
The Waternsnake GPS motor has been optimized for use on 16
to 24 foot sport fishing boats, such as a typical bass or flats boat.
Generally speaking it can hold position in currents of 2+ knots
or wind speeds up to about 30 knots, assuming wave action is
not too great.
Boats larger than 24 feet, or those with larger draft or windage may require
higher amounts of thrust to maintain position under adverse conditions such as
high wind or current. Under fair weather conditions the system can generally
be expected to perform reasonably well on larger boats.
Installation on boats smaller than 16 feet, or those of lighter weight, may result
in overly aggressive movements. In extreme cases this could lead to injury or
even death.
It is recommended that a trained technician install the
Watersnake GPSMART Motor. Improper installation can
lead to poor performance, injury or even death. It is the
responsibility of the installer to verify proper installation.
DO NOT connect the Waternsnake GPS motor to a power
source until installation is completed.
The Waternsnake GPS motor utilizes sensors which will likely
be affected by nearby magnetic fields. DO NOT install unit with or
near anything that produces a magnetic field (steel, magnets, etc.)
