Connecting Your Motor To The Battery; Pre-Use Checklist - Watersnake FIERCE 2 54LB/48 Owner's Manual

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.
• 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.
• When not in use please make sure that the motor is disconnected from the
battery.
