Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating any marine equipment.

• Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits and electric shock.
• Always disconnect power to the motor before performing any maintenance, propeller changes, or inspections.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of the propeller when the motor is in operation or connected to power.
• Do not operate the motor if the propeller is damaged or obstructed.
• Use only recommended battery types (24V deep cycle battery) and ensure proper voltage.
• Be aware of your surroundings and other vessels when operating the trolling motor.
• Do not attempt to modify the motor or its components, as this may void the warranty and create safety hazards.

Setup and Installation

Mounting the Motor

The HASWING Cayman trolling motor is designed for bow mounting.

1. Position the motor mount securely on the bow of your boat, ensuring it is centered and stable.
2. Use appropriate marine-grade fasteners to attach the mount to the boat's deck. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the motor's weight and thrust.
3. Once the mount is secure, attach the trolling motor to the mount according to the specific instructions provided with your mounting bracket (if purchased separately).

Electrical Connection

This motor operates on a 24V system. It requires two 12V deep cycle batteries connected in series, or a single 24V deep cycle battery.

1. Ensure the batteries are fully charged before initial use.
2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the motor's power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 24V battery system.
3. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the motor's power cable to the negative (-) terminal of your 24V battery system.
4. Verify all connections are tight and corrosion-free. It is recommended to use marine-grade connectors and heat shrink tubing for protection.
5. Install an appropriate circuit breaker or fuse (not included) in the positive line, close to the battery, to protect the system from overcurrent.

Depth Adjustment

Adjust the motor's depth using the depth collar on the shaft. Loosen the collar, slide the motor to the desired depth, and then tighten the collar securely. The propeller should be submerged sufficiently to avoid cavitation but not so deep as to hit obstacles.

Operating Instructions

Deploying and Stowing the Motor

To deploy the motor, press the deploy/stow pedal and gently lower the motor into the water. To stow, press the pedal and lift the motor out of the water, securing it in its stowed position.

Using the Remote Control

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

• Power On/Off: Use the designated buttons to turn the motor on or off.
• Speed Control: Adjust the motor speed using the variable speed controls. This allows for precise adjustments from slow trolling to faster propulsion.
• Steering: The remote provides 360-degree electric steering control. Use the directional buttons to steer the boat.
• Cruise Control: Engage cruise control to maintain a constant speed, freeing you to focus on fishing. Refer to the remote's specific instructions for activating this feature.

Monitoring Battery Life

The LED battery power reader on the motor provides a quick visual indication of your battery's charge status. Monitor this regularly to avoid unexpected power loss.

Maintenance

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

• After Each Use: Rinse the motor, especially the lower unit and propeller, with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, and debris.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check the propeller for fishing line, weeds, or damage. Remove any obstructions and replace damaged propellers promptly.
• Sacrificial Anode: Inspect the sacrificial anode periodically. If it is significantly corroded (more than 50% consumed), replace it to ensure continued protection against electrolysis, especially in saltwater.
• Electrical Connections: Periodically check all electrical connections for corrosion, tightness, and wear. Clean and re-tighten as necessary.
• Storage: When storing the motor for extended periods, ensure it is clean, dry, and stored in a cool, dry place. Disconnect batteries.
