USER'S MANUAL

OVERVIEW

All Smith-Root boats are heavy- duty electroshing

work boats designed to provide safe and stable

working conditions. They provide the sheries

researcher with the utmost in electroshing

efciency and equipment reliability. The quality

workmanship and attention to detail that go

into every Smith-Root electroshing boat are

demonstrated by our ever-growing number of

satised 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 electroshing work boats designed to provide the sheries researcher with

the utmost in electroshing efciency 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 modied "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.

RECEIVING & INSPECTION

2007

ELECTROfISHING

BOATS

Before using your new electroshing 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 electrosher 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 electrosher output is present. The

console also contains a GPP Patch Panel allowing complete

selection of anode/cathode boom congurations. 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 identication 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.
