Introduction
The Haswing Ultima 3.0 electric trolling motor is designed for small craft such as tenders, inflatables, car toppers, and Haswing Portable Assembly Boats. It delivers 110 lbs of thrust from a 29.6V LIPO (lithium polymer) battery, powering a brushless motor. Key features include stepless adjustable speed control, a magnetic safety lanyard, and the ability to easily tilt the motor in and out of the water for versatile operation. The LIPO battery is removable for convenient charging, and a spare battery option is available. A dedicated battery charger is included. An integrated LED battery level indicator provides real-time battery status. This motor is suitable for use in both salt and fresh water environments.
Main Components
The Ultima 3.0 motor system consists of the following primary components:
- Motor Unit: The main body housing the brushless motor and propeller.
- Tiller Handle: For steering and speed control.
- Transom Mount Bracket: For securing the motor to the boat's transom.
- Rechargeable LIPO Battery: The power source for the motor.
- Battery Charger: For recharging the LIPO battery.
- Propeller: A 3-blade propeller for propulsion.
- Selector Button: To switch between power modes (e.g., 1.0HP and 3.0HP).
- Battery Meter: LED indicator on the battery to display charge level.

Setup
1. Mounting the Motor
The Ultima 3.0 is designed for transom mounting. Ensure your boat's transom is suitable for clamping a trolling motor. The motor features a level lock bracket for secure attachment.
- Position the motor on the transom, ensuring the propeller is clear of any obstructions.
- Tighten the transom mount clamps securely to prevent movement during operation.
- Adjust the motor's depth in the water as needed. Note that depth adjustment is not available on this model, so ensure the initial mounting position is appropriate for your typical water depth.
2. Battery Installation
The motor operates with a dedicated 29.6V, 30AH rechargeable LIPO battery.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use.
- Carefully insert the LIPO battery into its designated compartment on the motor unit. Ensure it clicks into place or is securely fastened according to the motor's design.
- Verify all connections are firm and secure.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection
The motor features a selector button to choose between power modes.
- Press the selector button to switch between 1.0HP and 3.0HP modes.
- Ensure the motor is in the desired power mode before engaging the propeller.
2. Speed Control
The Ultima 3.0 utilizes a stepless adjustable speed control via the tiller handle.
- Rotate the tiller handle to increase or decrease speed in both forward and reverse directions.
- The stepless control allows for precise speed adjustments.
3. Steering
The motor offers 360° steering capability.
- Use the tiller handle to steer the boat by rotating the motor unit.
4. Tilting the Motor
The motor can be tilted in and out of the water.
- To tilt the motor, locate the tilt mechanism (often a lever or button) and adjust the motor's angle as required. This is useful for navigating shallow waters or when launching/retrieving the boat.
5. Battery Level Indicator
The LIPO battery features an LED indicator.
- Monitor the LED battery level indicator on the battery pack to check the remaining charge. Recharge the battery when the indicator shows a low charge.
Maintenance
1. Battery Charging
Proper battery charging is crucial for longevity and performance.
- Use only the provided 100V~240V/4A charger.
- Connect the charger to the battery and a suitable power outlet.
- A full charge typically takes 5-6 hours. Do not overcharge the battery.
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use.
2. Post-Use Care
To ensure the motor remains in optimal condition, especially after saltwater use:
- After each use, particularly in saltwater, rinse the motor unit thoroughly with fresh water.
- Inspect the propeller for any fishing lines, weeds, or debris that may have become entangled. Remove any obstructions carefully.
- Check all visible connections and fasteners for tightness.
- Wipe down the motor with a clean, dry cloth before storage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Haswing Ultima 3.0, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not turn on or operate. | Battery is discharged or not properly connected. | Check battery charge level using the LED indicator. Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the motor unit. |
| Reduced thrust or unusual noise. | Propeller fouled by weeds, fishing line, or damaged. | Turn off the motor immediately. Inspect the propeller and shaft for obstructions. Clear any debris. If the propeller is damaged, it may need replacement. |
| Motor runs intermittently. | Loose electrical connection or low battery. | Check all battery connections for tightness. Ensure the battery is adequately charged. |
| Battery life is shorter than expected. | Battery not fully charged, operating at high power continuously, or battery degradation. | Ensure battery is fully charged before each use. Consider using the 1.0HP mode for extended runtime. LIPO batteries have a finite lifespan and may degrade over time. |
User Tips
- Spare Battery: The LIPO battery is removable, making it convenient to carry a spare for extended trips. Consider purchasing an additional battery to double your runtime on the water.
- Power Modes: Utilize the 1.0HP mode for longer battery endurance, reserving the 3.0HP mode for situations requiring maximum thrust.
- Saltwater Care: Always rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water after use in saltwater to prevent corrosion and extend its lifespan.
