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 fl atten it up to full speed right away. For example, if you
have a 5 speed trolling motor, don’t click through all of the other speeds really
fast to get to 5, slowly go up to 1 speed, 2 speed, and so on. It is recommended
not to run your trolling motor out of water for long periods of time.
RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN YOUR
WATERSNAKE MOTOR IS OUT OF THE WATER
After washing down your Watersnake motor at the end of a session, you may
need to charge your 12v deep cycle marine battery. Before charging your
battery, ensure that your Watersnake motor is disconnected from the battery.
DO NOT leave your motor connected whilst charging your battery.
If your boat is not stored under cover, it is recommended to remove your
Watersnake motor and store separately under cover, out of direct sunlight and
away from wet or damp areas. If you are not able to remove your Watersnake
from the boat, we recommend covering your Watersnake with a weatherproof
cover to protect the electronics.
The off-season provides a good opportunity to complete some maintenance as
outlined on page 12
When towing your boat long distances and especially if driving over rough /
unsealed roads, we strongly recommend that you remove your Watersnake
motor from your boat and stow safely in either your vehicle or boat.
