1. Position the quick release bracket on the bow, ensuring the motor, when deployed, will clear the boat's edge and other obstructions.
2. Mark the drilling points for the bracket.
3. Drill appropriate holes and secure the quick release bracket using marine-grade fasteners (not included).
4. Attach the trolling motor to the quick release bracket. Ensure it is securely locked in place before use.

• Anchor Control (Spot Lock): Activates an electronic anchor function. The motor uses GPS to maintain your boat's position over a specific spot, counteracting wind, waves, and current. Activate by pressing the anchor icon on the remote or app. If the boat drifts more than 6 feet, the motor will automatically adjust to return to the original position.
• Record Routes: Allows you to create, modify, and save specific fishing routes or paths using the Helmsman App. The motor can then follow these pre-recorded routes.
• Auto-Navigation: Enables the motor to follow a set course, such as along a shoreline or structure, maintaining a constant speed.
• Cruise Control: Maintains a desired speed automatically, allowing you to focus on fishing.

5.4 Adjusting Depth

The motor features an adjustable depth collar. Loosen the collar, adjust the motor shaft to the desired depth, and then tighten the collar securely to prevent slippage during operation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your trolling motor.

• After Each Use: Rinse the motor, especially the propeller and lower unit, with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Wipe down the control head and shaft.
• Propeller Inspection: Periodically check the propeller for fishing line, weeds, or damage. Remove any obstructions. If the propeller is damaged, replace it with an authorized HASWING propeller.
• Electrical Connections: Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or loose wiring. Clean and tighten as necessary. Apply dielectric grease to connections for added protection.
• Battery Care: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your 12V deep cycle battery, including charging and storage procedures.
