It is required by law that NEVER be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while boating. Alcohol or drug
use impairs your judgment and greatly reduces your ability to react quickly.
Passenger boarding - Stop the trolling motor whenever passengers are boarding or unloading.
Be alert - The operator of the boat is highly recommended to maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing.
The operator must have an unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers, load, or fishing seats
should block the operators view when operating the boat.
Underwater hazard - Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever navigating in shallow water.
Tripping hazard - To avoid a trip hazard, route all cables and wiring neatly and out of the way.
Report accident - Boat operators are required by law to file a boating accident. Report with their local boating
law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accident, such as 1) there is loss of
life or probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, or 3) there
is a complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local law enforcement for details.
GENERAL PRACTICE
Not suggested to use the main engine battery to power the trolling motor. Use a
dedicated trolling motor battery or battery bank.
Ensure that the batteries are enclosed and secured within a battery box to prevent
accidental shorting of the battery terminals.
Route the trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other boat wiring.
Connect boat accessories directly to the main engine battery.
Do not charge the trolling motor batteries while the trolling motor is in the deployed
(down) position.
After each use, remove sundries from the propeller and rinse the motor by fresh
water.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION
It is recommended to install a manual reset circuit breaker in line with the electric trolling motor positive leads within
1.8m (72 Inches) of the battery(s). Using a circuit breaker could extend up to 2x times of electric motor’s life time.
Please read the specification
for your motor’s circuit breaker standard.
When the propeller is stuck by the weeds, small stones, fishing lines or so forth during the usage of the electric
outboard motor, the circuit breaker cuts off the power automatically to prevent the damage of the electrical parts.
When the circuit breaker cuts off the power, disconnect the battery first, then check and clean any obstacles. At last,
press the reset button on the circuit breaker and reconnect the battery, the electric outboard motor is able to continue
to work.
