Haswing Ultima 3.0 Electric Trolling Motor

1. Introduction and Overview

The Haswing Ultima 3.0 is a powerful and efficient electric trolling motor designed for small watercraft such as tenders, inflatables, car toppers, and portable assembly boats. It features a 29.6V LIPO (lithium polymer) battery and a brushless motor, delivering 110 lbs of thrust, comparable to a 4HP petrol outboard. This motor is equipped with stepless adjustable speed control, a magnetic safety lanyard, and a removable LIPO battery for convenient charging. Its design allows for easy tilting in and out of the water, making it suitable for various water depths. The Ultima 3.0 is built for both salt and fresh water use.

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the motor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or property damage.

• Always wear a personal flotation device (PFD) when operating the motor.
• Ensure the magnetic kill switch is properly attached to the operator and the motor before starting.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of the propeller at all times, especially when the motor is running.
• Do not operate the motor if the propeller is damaged.
• Avoid operating the motor in shallow water where debris could damage the propeller or motor.
• Disconnect the battery before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Keep the battery and charger away from flammable materials.
• Use only the provided charger for the LIPO battery.
• Do not modify the motor or battery in any way.
• Ensure the motor is securely mounted to the transom before use.

5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up your Haswing Ultima 3.0 trolling motor:

1. Mounting the Motor:
   • Identify a suitable location on your boat's transom for mounting.
   • Attach the transom mount bracket (Figure 3) securely to the transom using the provided clamps. Ensure the bracket is tightened firmly to prevent movement during operation.
   • The motor features a Level Lock Bracket for secure positioning.
2. Adjusting the Angle:
   • The angle adjustment bracket (Figure 4) allows for multiple angle adjustment positions. Adjust the motor angle to ensure the propeller is submerged at the correct depth and angle for optimal thrust and maneuverability.
3. Installing the Battery:
   • The LIPO battery is removable. Carefully insert the charged battery into its designated compartment on the motor head.
   • Ensure the battery is fully seated and the connection is secure.
4. Connecting the Magnetic Kill Switch:
   • Attach the magnetic kill switch lanyard to the motor and clip the other end to your clothing or wrist. This is a safety feature that will immediately cut power to the motor if you fall overboard.

6. Operation

Operating your Ultima 3.0 motor is straightforward:

1. Power On: Ensure the magnetic kill switch is in place. The motor's power indicator (LED display) will light up, showing the battery status.
2. Mode Selection: Use the selector button (Figure 5) to choose between 1.0HP and 3.0HP modes. The 1.0HP mode is for lower power consumption and extended range, while the 3.0HP mode provides maximum thrust.
3. Speed Control: The motor features stepless variable forward and reverse speed control via the tiller handle (Figure 6). Rotate the tiller handle to increase or decrease speed in either direction.
4. Steering: The tiller handle allows for 360° steering, providing excellent maneuverability.
5. Tilting the Motor: The motor can be easily tilted in and out of the water using the tilt mechanism on the mount. This is useful for navigating shallow areas or when transporting the motor.
6. Folding the Handle: For storage or transport, the handle can be folded down.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your trolling motor:

• Battery Charging: Charge the LIPO battery using the provided 100V~240V/4A charger. A full charge typically takes 5-6 hours. Always charge the battery in a well-ventilated area and avoid overcharging.
• Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water to prevent corrosion. Wipe down all surfaces with a clean cloth.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly inspect the 3-blade propeller (Figure 7) for any damage, entanglement with fishing lines, or debris. The separate fin design helps protect the propeller from impacts. Clear any obstructions carefully.
• Storage: Store the motor in a dry, cool place. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and stored separately from the motor.
• Connections: Periodically check all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Ultima 3.0 motor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Motor Not Starting:
  • Ensure the magnetic kill switch is properly engaged.
  • Check if the battery is fully charged and correctly installed.
  • Verify all electrical connections are secure.
• Low Power/Reduced Thrust:
  • Check the battery charge level using the LED indicator.
  • Inspect the propeller for any debris, fishing line, or damage that might be impeding its rotation.
  • Ensure you are in the 3.0HP mode for maximum thrust if needed.
• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Immediately stop the motor and inspect the propeller for damage or obstructions.
  • Check for any loose components on the motor or mount.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the battery and a working power outlet.
  • Check the charger's indicator lights (if any) for status.
  • Verify the battery is correctly inserted into the charger.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.

9. User Tips

• Pre-Trip Check: Always ensure your LIPO battery is fully charged before heading out. The LED battery meter provides a quick glance at the remaining power.
• Saltwater Care: Although suitable for saltwater, always rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water after each use in marine environments to prevent corrosion and extend its lifespan.
• Propeller Protection: The motor features a separate fin design for propeller protection. While robust, avoid known shallow or debris-filled areas to prevent damage.
• Optimal Performance: The motor performs excellently with a max prop speed of 1530 rpm underwater. For best results, ensure the propeller is fully submerged and free of obstructions.
• Versatile Use: This high-quality fishing engine is ideal for various small craft and fishing conditions, including ocean boat fishing, lake, ocean rock fishing, river, and stream.
