RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN USING YOUR
WATERSNAKE MOTOR IN THE WATER
Upon connecting your battery to your motor, and before setting off in your
boat, make sure that your trolling motor is mounted correctly and stowed
securely in the mounting bracket. Of course once you engage your Watersnake
motor for use make sure that it is in the right place, not too low or too high.
Once you are in deep water, you should make sure that you gradually increase
the speed of your trolling motor, do not fl atten it up to full speed right away.
For example, if you have a 5 speed trolling motor, don't click through all of the
other speeds really fast to get to 5, slowly go up to 1 speed, 2 speed, and so on.
It is recommended not to run your trolling motor out of water for long periods
of time.
RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN YOUR
WATERSNAKE MOTOR IS OUT OF THE WATER
When you have fi nished with your trolling motor each session you might want
to disconnect the battery from your trolling motor and take out the battery
out and recharge it. Store the battery in a safe place. If you have a small boat
without a cover it is recommended to take the motor off the boat also and
storing that in a safe place too. It is recommended that you do not store the
motor outside uncovered. This may take you an extra few minutes of you time
but it is good for the motor.

SHORT-TERM STORAGE OF YOUR WATERSNAKE MOTOR

If you are going to be gone for a short break or there is rain forecast and the
motor is to remain on the boat, we recommend covering the motor to protect
the electronics. Even better, make sure that you have a safe non-damp area
that your trolling motor can stay in room temperature.
LONG-TERM STORAGE OF YOUR WATERSNAKE MOTOR
If you are not going to use your motor in the off-season, put your motor in a
safe place where no water or extreme cold or hot temperatures can get in. We
suggest making a place under-cover away from moisture, this should protect
the electronics such as the circuit board and speed control unit.
