Setup and Installation
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all listed parts are present.
- Shaft Selection: Select the appropriate shafts (12mm for International standard or 1/2 inch for British standard) for your kayak hull.
- Motor Mounting:
- Ensure the propeller alignment lever is pressed down to align the propeller blades vertically. This allows the motor to be inserted into the kayak scupper.
- Insert the motor into the designated scupper hole on your kayak.
- Secure the motor firmly using the provided mounting hardware.
- Battery Connection: Connect the motor to a 12V deep cycle battery (1 x 105AH recommended). Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-).
- Emergency Kill Switch: Attach the emergency magnetic kill switch to the motor and yourself or your kayak. This switch is a critical safety feature that immediately cuts power to the motor if disconnected.
- Remote Control Pairing: Refer to the separate remote control manual for initial pairing instructions, if necessary. The remote operates on 2.4 GHz.
