GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing our product and we wish that you enjoy it.
Newport Vessels trolling motors are designed and developed by profes-
sional engineers and have been continually developed over a number
of years. There are a wide range of Newport Vessels outboard motors,
from 36lbs to 86lbs to suit every customer’s requirements and applica-
tion.
Please read and retain this manual before using this electrical motor.
This manual contains information that describes the procedure for safe
operation and daily maintenance of your electrical motor. Safe opera-
tion will prevent personal injury and product damage.

WIRING AND BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Battery Type
Recommended battery(s): 12-volt Deep Cycle battery or Marine battery.
To extend running time either a larger capacity or an additional battery
can be used. See section on battery connection method. NOTE: 86lbs
model requires a 24-volt battery.
Circuit Protection
It is recommended to install a manual reset circuit breaker in the electric
outboard motor leads within 1.8m (72 Inches) of the battery(s).
Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product, New-
port Vessels recommends the use of 13mm2 wire (8-gauge wire, AWG).
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. The battery also produces
hydrogen and oxygen gases when being charged. This potentially
explosive mixture escapes through the ll vent cell caps and may form
an explosive atmosphere around the battery for several hours after
it has been charged. Electrical arcing or ames can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion, which may shatter the battery and could cause
blindness or other serious injury.
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting to
battery or batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite
hydrogen gas and cause the battery to explode.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not allow children to operate the electric outboard motor.
Do not modify the unit in any way or add accessories not intended for
this product.
Never fully submerse the unit, if unit is accidentally submersed discon-
nect battery and leave to dry.
To prevent accidental damage of the berglass shaft, do not over tight-
en the mounting bracket.
Only use this product between the temperatures of -20C to +45C (-4F
to +113F).
User(s) should always wear approved Life Jackets.
Always disconnect power from the motor when replacing propeller,
removing debris around the prop, charging batteries, transporting boat
or when the motor is not in use.

FIRST TIME RUNNING
1. Place Electric Outboard onto the back of the vessel in the Stow away
position.
2. Loosely tighten Transom Mounting Screws till they grip the Transom
Mount.
3. Press the Tilt Lever and slowly let the motor enter the water.
4. Use the Depth Adjuster Collar to adjust the height of motor (Rec-
ommend running depth between 150mm-300mm (6in-12in) below the
waterline).
5. When you are satised that the motor is at a safe depth and isn’t too
close or in danger of hitting the bottom of the lake, river or other water
ways you may proceed to tighten the Transom Mounting Screws.
6. Once this is done it should be safe to connect the battery to the
motor. Ensure that the twist grip is in the neutral position and that the
nuts are tight on the terminals to prevent a poor connection.
7. Select the desired speed and direction using twist grip on the tiller
arm.
8. Do not go from full forward speed to full reverse speed without letting
the propeller stop turning rst or motor damage may occur.

MOTOR USAGE
This product does not include batteries; please choose a battery with
12V (24V for 86LBS motor) output to t this motor, the recommended
type of battery is deep cycle battery or marine battery, as they will last
much longer and are designed for this application.
Battery Connection Method (12 Volt only)
Connection with one battery (12V DC)
The red wire should connect to positive; the black wire should connect
to negative.
(It is recommended to install circuit breaker in line with positive lead.)
Connection with two batteries in parallel (12V DC)
The red wire should connect to positive; the black wire should connect
to negative.
(It is recommended to install circuit breaker in line with positive lead.)

Remember to always disconnect from the battery(s) once the motor
leaves water as a rotating propeller can cause personal injury.
On/O Speed Control
Rotate handle clockwise to obtain any of the 5 forward speeds. Rotate
handle counter clockwise for any of the 3 reverse speeds. To stop the
How To Control The Motor
Please rotate handle to select desired speed.
Battery Connection Method (24 Volt only)
Connection with two batteries in series (24V DC)
The red wire should connect to positive; the black wire should connect
to negative.

motor from running, position the handle following the arrow marker and
position on level 0.
Battery Level Indicator
There are 10 LED lights on the top cover, seven of them are green and
the rest are red. When seven (7) green LED’s are out, the meter is in-
dicating that the input voltage is less than 9.5V (normal voltage draw,
12V). It is advised to disconnect the motor from the battery to prevent
damage to the battery and recharge.
Adjusting Motor Depth
Position the depth adjustment collar so the propeller blades are sub-
merged 150mm - 300mm (6inches - 12inches) below the waters sur-
face.
Raising The Motor
It is recommended to disconnect the battery before carrying out this
procedure to prevent accidental running of the motor. To raise the motor
out of the water push and hold the tilt lever and with the other hand
push down on the end of the handle to bring the motor up and out of
the water. Then release the tilt lever to lock in place.
Lowering The Motor
It is recommended to disconnect the battery before carrying out this
procedure to prevent accidental running of the motor. Press the tilt
lever, while with the other hand; hold onto the end of the handle to
steady the motor into the water. Once lowered release the tilt lever to
lock into position.
Remember to wash the motor by using fresh water after being used in
salt water as it can greatly reduce the possibility of corrosion.
