Electrical Connection
Connect the trolling motor to a 12V deep cycle marine battery. Ensure all connections are tight and corrosion-free.
- Connect the positive (+) red cable from the motor to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
- Connect the negative (-) black cable from the motor to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
- It is recommended to install an appropriate circuit breaker (not included) in the positive line for safety.
Adjusting Motor Depth
The motor features an easy-to-use depth collar for quick and secure depth adjustments.
- Loosen the depth collar clamp.
- Hold the motor shaft firmly to prevent it from sliding.
- Adjust the motor to the desired depth, ensuring the propeller is sufficiently submerged.
- Tighten the depth collar clamp securely to lock the motor in position.
