BATTERY AND POWER
CONNECTING YOUR MOTOR TO THE BATTERY
All Watersnake wiring connections should conform to best marine standards.
Soldered, sealed and heat-shrink protected. If you doubt your ability to
produce quality waterproof connections or lack the equipment, consult a
marine technician or auto electrician.
• Your Watersnake comes factory-fi tted with a standard length of twin fl ex
wiring with ring terminals to attach to the battery, circuit breaker, fuse,
isolator switch or terminal posts.
• Before connecting the motor's cables to the battery terminals, ensure all
switches are in the OFF position and stand clear of the propeller.
• Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black cable to the
negative (-) terminal, making sure the terminals are clean before doing so. A
clean connection will minimise power wastage and give you maximum power
from the battery.
• Should you require a more convenient wiring connection, Watersnake
recommends its 10-gauge 12 volt Trolling Motor Connectors
(female part 55506, male 55505).
• Conventional Anderson plugs, provided they are rated over 50 amps, are also
popular and effective connections but must be kept clean and corrosion-free.
• When the motor is connected to the battery DO NOT connect any other
charging devices to the battery. For example solar chargers or alternators.
• When not in use please make sure that the motor is disconnected from
the battery.
