1. Introduction
The Haswing Protruar G electric trolling motor is a powerful and efficient brushless motor designed for transom mounting on various boats, including those up to 7.5 meters in length. Featuring stepless speed control, a robust gearbox, and a durable stainless steel shaft, this motor provides reliable propulsion for your fishing and boating adventures. This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your trolling motor.
2. Important Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this product. 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 boat.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and waterproof.
- Do not operate the motor if the propeller is out of the water.
- Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of the propeller at all times.
- Disconnect the battery before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
- Always use the included kill switch lanyard. Attach it to yourself or your PFD.
- Do not modify the motor or its components.
- Ensure the motor is securely mounted to the transom before use.
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Transom Mounting
The trolling motor is designed for easy transom mounting. Use the integrated clamp bracket to secure the motor to the boat's transom. Ensure the clamps are tightened firmly to prevent movement during operation.
3.2 Battery Connection
This motor operates on a DC 24V power supply. It is recommended to use two 120AH deep cycle batteries (not included) connected in series to achieve the required 24V. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the battery cables to the motor terminals. Secure all connections to prevent corrosion and ensure a stable power supply.
3.3 Depth Adjustment
Adjust the motor's shaft depth using the depth collar. Loosen the collar, position the motor at the desired depth, and then firmly tighten the collar to secure it. The propeller should be submerged sufficiently to avoid cavitation and ensure efficient thrust.
3.4 Tilting the Motor
The motor offers 7 levels of tilting positions for optimal performance and shallow water operation. Use the tilting mechanism on the mount to adjust the motor angle as needed. Ensure the motor is locked into position before operating.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Speed Control
The Protruar G features digital stepless forward and reverse speed control. Rotate the tiller handle to increase or decrease speed smoothly in either direction. This allows for precise control over your boat's movement.
4.2 Power Display
The motor head includes a convenient power display that shows 5 levels of battery power. Monitor this display to ensure you have sufficient charge for your trip.
4.3 Steering
The tiller provides 360° lockable steering, allowing you to maneuver your boat effectively. Adjust the tiller angle for comfortable operation.
4.4 Folding Handle
The trolling handle features a folding function with a 100° folding angle. This allows for compact storage and easier transport.
4.5 Prop-Clutch Feature
The motor is equipped with a prop-clutch feature that allows the propeller to break away when it encounters an obstruction. This helps prevent damage to the propeller and motor.
5. Maintenance
- After Each Use: Rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water, especially after use in saltwater, to prevent corrosion.
- Propeller Inspection: Regularly check the propeller for weeds, fishing line, or other debris. Remove any obstructions to ensure optimal performance and prevent motor strain. Inspect for chips or cracks and replace if damaged.
- Electrical Connections: Periodically check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Apply dielectric grease to terminals to protect against moisture.
- Storage: Store the motor in a dry, well-ventilated area. Disconnect batteries during long-term storage.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not start or has low power. | Low battery charge, loose electrical connections, damaged propeller. | Check battery charge and connections. Inspect propeller for damage or obstruction. |
| Excessive vibration or noise. | Bent propeller, debris on propeller, loose mounting. | Inspect and clean propeller. Tighten transom mount clamps. |
| Motor runs intermittently. | Loose battery connection, faulty kill switch connection. | Check all electrical connections. Ensure kill switch is properly engaged. |
