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 it is set to the ideal depth. About 30cm from the water surface to the top
of the propeller. When you are taking off gradually increase the speed of your
trolling motor, do not accelerate 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.
AFTER EVERY USE
• Check your remote control is turned off.
• Disconnect motor from batteries. This can be done by simply disconnecting
the Anderson plugs.
• Check Anderson plugs are clean and corrosion free.
• A light spray of WD40 inside your Anderson plugs will reduce corrosion
and build-up.
• Recharge battery as soon as possible.
• Wipe down the Watersnake motor with a damp sponge, even after
freshwater use. Do not use high pressure as it may drive water and salt
inside the motor. Concentrate on areas where salt, dirt and weed fragments
are likely to lodge – propeller, motor housing, composite shaft, turnbox,
depth collar and exposed parts of deck mount assembly.
• Deploy your motor and wipe the shaft clean of any salt or dirt. It is
recommended to lubricate the shaft before stowing the motor for storage.
• Wipe these areas with a cloth soaked in warm soapy water and allow to dry.
• Apply a light coating of a non-staining silicone, petroleum-based or lanolin
spray to protect and lubricate exposed parts. Wipe over with a soft, dry cloth.
• Store your Watersnake motor disconnected from its battery.
• If boat is stored outdoors, remove Watersnake and store securely indoors in
a cool, dry place.
• If your Watersnake motor is permanently mounted to the boat outdoors,
protect it from sun and rain with a tarpaulin or other cover.
•
Lengthy exposure to the elements can affect your motor and it’s warranty.
