troubleshooting
1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
• Check the state of the batteries and replace if necessary. Low battery voltage will cause an error.
• Check battery connections for proper polarity.
• Make sure terminals are clean and corrosion-free. Use fine sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.
• Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time:
• Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge.
3. Motor is difficult to steer:
• Loosen the Steering Tension Screw on the Foot Pedal.
• Lubricate the composite shaft.
4. You experience Prop vibration during normal operation:
• Replace the Prop
• Remove and rotate the Prop 180°. See removal instructions in the Prop Replacement section.
5. Experiencing interference with your fishfinder:
• You may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth finder display. We recommend that you use a separate deep
cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the depth finder from the starting/cranking battery. If problems still
persist, call our service department at 1-800-227-6433.
6. Experience flashing red LED on the Foot Pedal Indicator Panel
• The trolling motor is communicating that there is an error. Cycle power to the trolling motor. If the LED continues to flash, please
contact our service department. If all four LEDs are flashing, the trolling motor is updating. To learn more about updates, please see
the Owner's Manual for the One-Boat Network app or the Advanced GPS Navigation Wireless Remote.
