- Remote Control Charging: Use the provided USB charge cable to charge the watch-style remote control.
4.2. Installing the Propeller on a SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard)
The propeller can be attached to a SUP for assisted propulsion.
- Locate the designated mounting area on your SUP.
- Securely attach the propeller to the SUP using the provided mounting mechanism. Ensure it is firmly installed to prevent detachment during use.
4.3. Installing Diving Handles
For handheld use or attachment to other hulls, install the diving handles.
- Install pins into both slots of the diving handle and remove them.
- Place the strap of the remote control watch inside the waterproof box of the diving handle.
- Tighten the waterproof box and check its firmness.
- Connect the diving handle to the thruster main unit and secure it with a locking pin.
- Closely combine the data cable terminals on the deep water controller with the data cable terminals on the main unit and tighten the nut (ensure waterproofing).
- The deep water controller should be closely combined with the folding dive handle.
4.4. Battery Replacement (for Pro Versions with Detachable Battery)
For models with detachable batteries (e.g., CM9-1PRO), follow these steps to replace the battery:
- Unscrew the top cover of the propeller.
- Press 'PUSH' to unplug the battery connector.
- Remove the old battery and insert the new replacement battery.
- Insert the new battery plug into place.
- Slide the plug into place through the slot.
- Tighten the top cover securely.
If you have a regular model propeller (non-detachable battery), you cannot replace the batteries; charge the propeller directly with the charger.
4.5. Charging Replacement Batteries
To charge a replacement battery:
- Locate the charge converter and connect it to the replacement battery.
- Locate the charger and plug the charger port into the other end of the converter.
- Connect the power cord and plug it into an outlet to charge.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Remote Control Pairing
To pair the watch-style remote controller with the host:
- Plug and unplug the DC charging plug twice while the host is in charging mode.
- After hearing a beep from the host, press any key on the remote control to complete the pairing.
- If unsuccessful, repeat the above steps.
- For Pro versions with signal lights: Plug and unplug the charging head twice. Once the signal light flashes red and blue alternately, press any key on the remote control to complete the pairing.
For the deep water controller: No pairing is required. Just connect the end of the remote control data cable tightly with the end of the host data cable and tighten the nut (pay attention to waterproofing). Before each dive, press the depth correction button to reset the last used data to zero.
5.2. Remote Control Display and Buttons
- Remote Control Signal Status: After successful pairing, a signal tower icon will be displayed. If the signal connection is lost, an 'x' icon will appear. If the signal is lost for 1 minute while the host is running, the host will automatically shut down.
- Speed Ratio Status: Default speed is 20% (low speed). Minimum speed is 10%, maximum is 100% (full speed). Use '+' and '-' buttons to adjust speed.
- Power Switch Button: Double-click to turn on/off the host after successful pairing. The host defaults to forward state at low speed (2 gears).
- Propeller Host Battery Status: Check the battery level on the remote control screen frequently.
- Signal Lights (Pro Version): Use the left button on the remote control to adjust the signal light color (multiple colors available). Use the right button to adjust the signal light mode (e.g., distress, breathing, gradient, off).
5.3. Using the Propeller on your SUP
- Place the SUP with the Propeller in the water, ensuring enough space and no obstacles.
- Stand or kneel on the SUP and take the remote control.
- Attach the remote control to yourself in case you fall off.
- When swimming, place the remote control inside its waterproof box/cover and secure it to the machine.
5.4. Using with Diving Handles or Other Hulls
When using the Propeller with diving handles or on other equipment (like inflatable motorboats), ensure all attachments are firmly installed. For inflatable motorboats, the faucet must be firmly installed, screws tightened, water diverter firmly installed, and the Propeller itself securely mounted. Always wear a life jacket. Before entering the water, wear a slip rope to prevent the inlet from accidentally disengaging.

7. Maintenance & Storage
After Each Use:
- Flush the Propeller thoroughly with fresh water to prevent corrosive water (especially salt water) from damaging the unit.
- Allow the Propeller to dry in a dark place. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as this can damage the battery.
Long-Term Storage:
- After cooling and drying, store the unit in a dark place.
- If not used for a long time, charge both the remote control and the host for approximately one hour before storing them. This prevents the chip from consuming reserved power and causing the remote control to crash.
8. Troubleshooting
- Host suddenly shuts down at full speed: This may be due to overcurrent protection or overtemperature protection being triggered. Try restarting the host or wait a moment before starting it again.
- Remote control loses signal: If the remote control screen displays an 'x' icon, the signal connection is lost. If this persists for 1 minute while the host is running, the host will automatically shut down. Re-pair the remote control as per Section 5.1.
- Propeller cannot be started: Ensure the host is not in charging mode, as the battery is in a protected state during charging and the propeller cannot be started.
9. User Tips
- Always perform a pre-use check of all components, especially battery levels and secure connections, before entering the water.
- Familiarize yourself with the remote control functions in a safe, shallow water environment before attempting deeper dives or higher speeds.
- Consider using the action camera mount to capture your underwater adventures.
- When using with a SUP, ensure the remote control is securely attached to your person to prevent loss if you fall.
