Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a Go
-
Float electric watercraft,
what we consider to be the finest and simplest electric boat on the
market today!
This manual will simplify getting you started and on the water, enjoying
your new Go
-
Float electric boat.
Battery Connection
:
Go
-
Float boats are generally shipped with the battery(s) disconnected.
If your battery meter shows a green bar that indicates charge, your bat-
teries are already connected. If not, you will connect your battery(s) by
pulling forward the seat panel (Vortex) or removing the seat tray
(Fusion, Impulse).
To remove the seat tray, open your cooler and unlatch the seat tie
-
downs that you will find in the front of the cooler. This is best accom-
plished with the boat resting on its hull, as the seat tray could slide for-
ward if it is set on its stern in the upright storage position. With the tie
-
downs unlatched, lift the seat tray out.
Inside the equipment compartment you will find red and black connect-
ors coming from both the power buss bar and from the battery(s). Hook
one connector set from the buss to a battery, if you have two batteries,
hook one set to each battery. You should now have a battery charge
indication. Replace the seat tray or close the seat panel.
Operation:
To make the boat go, select a speed on the speed selector knob and
push the go
-
button in the grip of the steering handle with your thumb. It
is best to not run the motor while the boat is out of the water, but a short
test to check your motor’s operation will not harm the motor.
Charging:
Plug an extension cord into the charging port. This can be done while
the battery(s) are connected or disconnected, but should not be done
while the boat is in the water. After charging, if the meter does not show
a full charge, disconnect the extension cord, disconnect the
battery(s), count to ten and reconnect the battery(s). Your meter should
now indicate a full charge.
