USER'S MANUAL
OVERVIEW
All Smith-Root boats are heavy- duty electroshing
work boats designed to provide safe and stable
working conditions. They provide the sheries
researcher with the utmost in electroshing
efciency and equipment reliability. The quality
workmanship and attention to detail that go
into every Smith-Root electroshing boat are
demonstrated by our ever-growing number of
satised customers.
The modular design of our boats provide exibility
in use. The forward work deck provides a safe
area for netting and other sampling operations.
The gunwale top is smooth to prevent abrasion
and net snags. Forward work lights illuminate the
entire front area of the boat. Stern lights provide
illumination to the rear of the boat.
BOAT HULL
The hulls are constructed of a rugged aluminum alloy that gives superior impact strength and excellent resistance to water and
weather corrosion. The fabrication features all-welded seams. H models feature hard machine-rivets at all critical rib support
points. Seams are double welded at the bottom-to-gunwale sections, providing extreme impact strength. The forward work
decking is anti-skid Dri-Dek®mat and the walkways are aluminum treadplate.
Smith-Root H and EH model boats are heavy-duty electroshing work boats designed to provide the sheries researcher with
the utmost in electroshing efciency and equipment reliability.
H model boats feature a sled-style hull, available from 14' to 18' in length, perfect for shallow water shing operations. For
rough water conditions, our EH models offer our rugged modied "V" hull available in 18' to 21' lengths.
All Smith-Root boats come equipped with an extra heavy-duty transom. Transoms are 20”, 25" or 27" high and are built with
a double H-frame-style reinforcing. This transom is highly resistant to damage on or off the trailer. Side heights are 24" for the
H-series and 30" for the EH-series boats.

ELECTROfISHING
BOATS
Before using your new electroshing boat, please
read and perform the following procedures.
During shipping it is possible for damage to occur.
Also, nuts, bolts, or screws may have vibrated loose.
1. Give your boat a good visual inspection for
possible shipping damage.
2. Make sure battery selector switch is OFF.
3. Remove the six 1/4-20 bolts holding the pilot deck
cover on. The pilot deck is located between the
Console and the Generator housing (7/16" wrench
required).
Remove the pilot deck cover revealing the TS-5
terminal strip and pump compartment. Remove
protective cover over terminal strip.
4. Check all of the screws on the TS-5 terminal
strip, pump bases, and boat ground buss bar
to make sure that none have vibrated loose
(Phillips screwdriver required).
5. After thorough inspection of this area, replace
the pilot deck cover and tighten bolts.
6. Inspect the center
console. Remove
the top mounting
Phillips screw from
the outboard throttle
and gear shift control
box. Remove the
1/4-20 bolt in front of
the outboard control
box on the side of
the console. Remove
the two 1/4-20 bolts
on the other side of
the console (Phillips
screwdriver and 7/16"
wrench are required).
7. Rotate the console
forward, resting
it on the top of
the sh tank lids.
Make sure your Battery Selector Switch, located on the
port side of steering & control console, is in the "OFF"
position.
8. Check all the screws on the terminal strips, used and not used, for
tightness. Check all instrument mounting screws and electrical
connections. Check all the hardware mounting screws and boat
ground buss bar screws (Phillips and at-blade screwdrivers,
5/16", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" wrenches are required).
9. Rotate the console back to its upright position. Re-secure the
console fasteners.
10. Open the access hatch on the front of the console (the circuit
breaker and patch panel compartment). Visually inspect
all the breaker holders for tightness. Close and latch the
compartment.
11. Check tightness of all mounting bolts around the sh holding
tank, battery compartment, console, pilot deck and generator
housing (7/16" wrench is required).

BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEMS
All models of boats come with three marine batteries housed
in chemical resistant enclosures (two in main compartment,
one in enclosure at stern). A 40 amp charging system utilizes
power from the GPP generator. Charging from the outboard
motor is also incorporated in the charging system.
The battery compartment provides space for two marine
batteries. The Storage compartment above the batteries
provide space for a marine re extinguisher and miscellaneous
small items. There is a separate cranking battery for the
outboard motor.
Console Cover provides complete weather protection to the
steering and control console. Constructed of heavy duty
canvas with reinforced corners. (not shown)
Work-Up Lights are provided on the front of the console,
(pictured above). The lights are recessed and aimed to light up
the sh tank and not shine in crew member's eyes.
The Control Console is mounted on the central island
structure. The electrosher control panel is mounted at the top
of the consoles within comfortable reach of the boat operator.
An adjustable audio tone and the high voltage indicator lamp
are activated whenever electrosher output is present. The
console also contains a GPP Patch Panel allowing complete
selection of anode/cathode boom congurations. Consoles
hinge forward to provide easy access to all steering controls,
switches, circuit breakers, and wiring terminals for the entire
electrical system. All wiring terminals are clearly labeled
for easy identication and servicing. A schematic diagram is
provided which shows all wiring and terminal designations
for the entire boat. Two spare switches and 2 accessory
plugs are provided on the console for additional electrical
equipment.
Batteries are housed under fire

BATTERY SELECTOR SWITCH
The Battery Selector Switch is located on the left side of the control
console. It allows you to switch between the two separate main batteries,
run on both simultaneously or to shut both batteries off when boat is not in
use. Switch should be in 'BOTH' position when charging.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE CHARGER
The Battery/Charging system includes a charger that connects to a 110V
service (via its receptacle, shown at right) when the boat is not in use for
extended periods of time. It automatically brings the battery's level to a full
charge and maintains it. LEDs indicate battery charging status (inset).
GENERATOR RAW WATER fILTRATION
The Generator requires raw water for coolant purposes. The Raw Water
Filter located on left side of control console must be inspected daily and
any potential obstruction removed in order to prevent damage to the intake
system. Bowl is translucent to facilitate inspection.

*Enunciator Volume: The Audio Alarm warning tone indicates an output voltage. The control adjusts the volume of the Audio
Alarm or turns the Audio Alarm off.
Note: Switch the Range switch to the OFF position when the GPP is not in use. The Audio Alarm warning tone will sound if the
generator is running without the electrodes in the water and the switch is not OFF.
ELECTROfISHER CONTROLS
RANGE SWITCH:1. Selects the output voltage
range between high and low or switches
the output to OFF (Caution!: The position
of this switch should not be changed
when current is flowing, i.e. foot switches
engaged!).
TIME IN SECONDS:2. Records the actual
shocking time. It counts only when high
voltage is applied.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:3. Provides a local
override of remote foot switches.
OUTPUT CURRENT METER:4. Shows the
current flowing between the anode and
cathode in amps and indicates when the
RANGE switch should be moved to the LOW
position. For 7.5 and 9.0 GPPs, follow the
output table.

MODE:5. Selects the type of output pulses,
AC or DC (Caution!: The position of this
switch should not be changed when
current is flowing, i.e. foot switches
engaged!).
PERCENT OF RANGE:6. Adjusts the output
pulses to a percent of the selected range, i.e.
high/low. Pulse width is also automatically
adjusted between 6 and 1 millisecond pulse
duration.
ENUNCIATOR VOLUME*:7. Controls volume of
output of warning tone.
HIGH VOLTAGE:8. Red indicator lamp shows
when voltage is present on output power
terminals.
PULSES PER SECOND9. : Selects the number
of pulses in the output wave form.
