  • Page 14: Preparations

    Lithium-based and lead-acid batteries can be used to supply power for NAVY Evo. Considering the high performance in energy density and discharge ability, lithi- um-based batteries are more preferable. To ensure that NAVY Evo can work at its full power continually, the batteries are required to possess over 62.5A(NAVY 3.0 Evo) or 125A(NAVY 6.0 Evo) of continuous discharge current.

  • Page 15: Selecting And Mounting The Propeller

    Only use the same batteries (same model, same capacity, same age and same manufacturer) in series or in parallel configuration. Variations in the batteries will cause damage to them. 2.2 Selecting and Mounting the Propeller For NAVY 3.0 Evo, the propeller of NAVY 3.0 Evo is attached on the motor before de- livery.

  • Page 41: Configurations

    6.2 Battery Configuration Accurate battery configuration helps achieve precise estimation of the battery's dis- charging state. When using an ePropulsion E Series Battery, battery configuration is self-activated by the control system given that all the communication cables are well connected. When not using E Series Batteries, users should manually configure the batteries via Remote Control/Tiller at the first time use, so the battery level will dis- play more accurate.
  • Page 42 Battery Configuration Process LCD Displaying Step1: First, turn on the main switch and the Evo Remote Control / Evo Tiller. Press and hold the “ ” and “ ” button simultaneously to enter the battery setting page. Users can see the attery type blinking and it’s ready for configuration.
  • Page 43 Lithium batteries, lead acid batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries are recommended to use with NAVY Evo. Other types of battery may fail to make NAVY Evo work properly. When you use the below batteries, please set battery type and rated voltage val- ue based on the parameters in the following table.

  • Page 44: Checklist Before Use

    7 Checklist before Use 1. Ensure the propeller is correctly and firmly mounted on the outboard. 2. Ensure the outboard is correctly and firmly mounted on the boat. 3. Ensure the throttle and steering wheel are installed in proper position before turning on the power. 4. Ensure the throttle travels smoothly with no obstacles.

  • Page 46: Trim Angle Adjusting

    10 Trim Angle Adjusting Only adjust the outboard trim angle when the outboard is stationary. There are five trim angle options including 60°,15°,10°,5° and 0°. Adjust the outboard trim angle based on specific conditions. E.g. when the boat is in shallow water or the outboard is not in use, tilt the outboard and adjust the trim angle to 60°.
  • Page 47 It’s suggested to test with different trim angles to find the optimal trim angle for the boat and operation. Note that the speed should be increased gradually dur- ing the test, and check if there are any abnormal situations. Stop the outboard and decrease the trim angle if necessary.

  • Page 48: Anti-Grounding Mode

    11 Anti-grounding Mode When the boat runs in shallow water or in complicated underwater conditions, it may meet grounding dangers. Setting the outboard to anti-grounding mode will protect the outboard motor from damage if the outboard hits submerged reefs or rocks. In anti-grounding mode, the underwater part of the outboard is flexible in tilting direction and the motor will automatically tilt up if it hits something underwater.
