ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
Please Note: for best performance please keep
battery terminals and connections clean.
There are a number of different methods of
connecting battery leads to your 12v deep cycle
battery. Your Watersnake motor is supplied
as standard with alligator clip type terminal
connectors although this can be changed to
suit your particular set up. If fi tting different
terminal connectors ensure that connections
are soldered and sealed appropriately. It is
recommended to use heat shrink to seal any
exposed joins in wiring or connectors. Any
non-standard terminal connections must be
capable of handling a minimum of 50 amps.
Anderson plugs are a popular choice amongst
many Watersnake motor owners and are readily
available.
A Watersnake circuit breaker is highly
recommended. Attach to the red power cable
to protect the circuit boards of the motor. As
shown on diagram 1. This is a connection that
joins the motor battery cable to the battery and
shuts the motor off if the connection over heats.
See Watersnake circuit breaker on page 20.
Available as a seperate purchase.
We recommend using a deep cycle battery for
optimum performance.
