11. Charging the remote
1. To charge the remote, remove the waterproof plug,
connect the USB charging cable. The USB end of the
cable has a charging status light - red light indicates
charging, green light indicates charged.
NOTE: When charging the hand remote for the first
time, the light will turn green fairly quickly, leave it
charging overnight or for several hours. Only ever use
the charging cable supplied with the remote, use of
an incorrect cable can damage the battery and
electronics of the remote.
2. The hand remote can on average be used
continuously for 48 hours. You can have the remote
plugged into a USB charging port (if your vessel has
one fitted) and still use the remote to command the
Cayman motor. (Fig. 16)
In order to maximise the life of the battery in the
remote, please charge the remote every 3 months if
the motor is not being used for extended periods.
12. Battery Status Display
The motor has a Battery Status Display (3 LED
lights) to show the charge status of the battery
being used to power the Cayman motor. As the
voltage of the battery discharges, the status light
percentage will decline accordingly. It is highly
recommended that you recharge the battery once
it reaches 20% for lead acid technology batteries.
Lithium batteries contain a BMS (battery
management system) that actively manages the
battery and when it reaches its maximum depth of
discharge (DoD) the battery will automatically shut
off. (Fig. 17)
NOTE When used with lithium batteries the battery
status display is not entirely accurate due to the
nature of discharge of lithium battery technology.

Troubleshooting
1. Motor fails to run or lack of power
Make sure that the power cable from the battery
is connected correctly.
Check that the terminals are clean and
corrosion free.
Make sure that the battery is full. If flat or low
voltage, please recharge.
Make sure that there is no fishing line or weeds
caught up in the propeller. Please detach and
clean up the propeller if there is debris got
caught up inside the propeller. Warning - Make
sure the motor is disconnected from the battery.
Make sure that the propeller drive pin is in good
condition.
2. Motor vibration
Make sure that the propeller is installed
correctly. Inspect the propeller and the
drive/shear pin condition and if necessary,
replace worn or faulty part.
Disconnect the battery cable and examine the
motor by manually turning the propeller. The
propeller should turn freely with some magnetic
resistance. If there is strong resistance, there
may be internal damage. If locked up or
excessive resistance, please contact our
customer service or the dealer.
3. Operation error warning signal
A continuous beep indicates a power output
overload. It can happen if the motor is trying to
propel a vessel of too greater weight capacity
or has weed or fishing line has caught up under
the propeller around the propeller or drive
spline.
When the voltage of the battery is too low, the
motor will shut off automatically to help protect
