Setup & Installation

1. Mounting the Trolling Motor

The Cayman-B is designed for bow mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and strong enough to support the motor's weight and thrust.

Position the motor mount on the bow of your boat, ensuring the shaft can deploy and stow without obstruction.
Mark the drilling points using the base of the motor mount as a template.
Drill appropriate holes for the mounting bolts.
Secure the motor mount to the boat using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.

2. Battery Connection

Connect the motor's power cable to a 12V DC deep cycle marine battery. Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-). Use an appropriate circuit breaker or fuse (not supplied) in the positive line, close to the battery, to protect the motor and wiring.

WARNING: Incorrect wiring can damage the motor and void the warranty. Always disconnect the battery when the motor is not in use or during maintenance.

3. Remote Control Pairing

The remote control should be pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is necessary or if you are connecting a new remote:

Ensure the trolling motor is powered on.
On the remote control, press and hold the ON/OFF key and the '3' key simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The motor's control head will indicate successful pairing (refer to the control head's display for specific indicators).
The remote control can connect to up to 5 motors simultaneously.

Note the instructions for pairing: "Press and hold the two keys ON/OFF and 3 for 3 seconds on the remote after 2 seconds of power on."

Operating Instructions

1. Deploying the Motor

To deploy the motor, release the locking mechanism on the mount and carefully lower the motor shaft into the water until the propeller is fully submerged. Ensure the motor is locked in the deployed position.

2. Using the Remote Control

The wireless remote control allows for convenient operation from anywhere on your boat.

ON/OFF: Press to power the motor on or off.
Speed Control: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to increase or decrease motor speed.
Steering: Use the left and right arrow buttons to steer the boat.
Constant Speed: Some remotes may have a button to maintain a set speed.

3. Power Reader

The motor control head features an integrated power reader to display the battery's charge level. This helps you monitor battery life during use.

4. Stowing the Motor

Before moving the boat or when not in use, raise the motor out of the water and secure it in the stowed position. Ensure the propeller is clear of the water and the motor is locked securely to prevent damage during transport.

Maintenance

1. After Each Use

Rinse the motor shaft and propeller with fresh water, especially after use in saltwater, to prevent corrosion.
Inspect the propeller for any fishing line, weeds, or debris. Remove any obstructions.
Check all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Clean and tighten as necessary.

2. Propeller Care

Periodically remove the propeller to inspect for damage to the blades or the shear pin.
If the propeller is damaged, replace it with an original Haswing replacement propeller.
Ensure the propeller nut is tightened sufficiently to prevent loosening during operation.

3. Battery Maintenance

Keep your 12V deep cycle battery fully charged when not in use.
Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
Check battery terminals for corrosion and clean them regularly.

4. Storage

When storing the motor for extended periods, ensure it is clean, dry, and disconnected from the battery. Store in a protected area away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Motor does not turn on.	No power from battery, loose connection, dead battery, remote not paired.	Check battery connections, charge battery, re-pair remote control.
Motor runs intermittently.	Loose battery connection, low battery charge, debris in propeller.	Tighten connections, charge battery, clear propeller.
Reduced thrust or unusual noise.	Damaged propeller, fishing line around shaft, weeds.	Inspect and clear propeller, replace damaged propeller.
Remote control not responding.	Remote battery low, remote not paired, interference.	Replace remote battery, re-pair remote, move away from strong electrical interference.

User Tips

Consider carrying a spare propeller and shear pins, especially on longer trips.
Always check the battery level indicator on the motor head before heading out.
Practice deploying and stowing the motor a few times before your first trip to get comfortable with the mechanism.
For optimal battery life, avoid running the motor at maximum speed for extended periods.
