WATERSNAKE ELECTRIC MOTORS
Congratulations and welcome to a world of silent motoring.
Powerful yet silent, the Watersnake electric motors are built to suit all angling
conditions. High quality materials, superior design and precision engineering
make these motors longwearing and reliable.
Please read manual completely before starting installation.
ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO YOUR BOAT
Attach the motor to the stern of the boat and tighten both mounting bolts
securely while taking care not to over-tighten. (A)
To adjust the angle of the motor after attachment, hold the motor head with
one hand and depress the positioning pin at the top of the mounting bracket
with your other hand. Press and hold the positioning pin until the desired
angle has been reached, next release the pin and ensure the mechanism locks
securely. (B)

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Hold the motor shaft with one hand, loosen the depth collar adjustment screw
and set the motor to the desired depth, then retighten the adjusting screw on
the depth collar securely.
STEERING
To adjust steering counter-force, simply loosen or tighten the counterforce
bolt. The ideal setting is one where the counterforce bolt is just tight enough
so that the boat will steer in the direction you are aiming without need for
continual correction.

HEAD UNIT & SPEED CONTROL
The tiller control is telescopic and can be extended. Simply pull the grip
out away from the head unit to set your desired length. Rotate the handle
clockwise for forward speed and anti-clockwise for reverse There are five
forward and three reverse speeds.
SPEED CONTROLDIGITAL VOLTAGE METER
EXTENDABLE HANDLE

Shows the voltage going
into the motor unit from the
battery. This should always be
around 12 Volts. A much
lower reading of 12 Volts will
inhibit the performance of
your motor.

ATTACHING THE PROPELLER
Before doing anything with the propeller, ensure the cables to
the battery are disconnected.
1: Place shear pin in shaft as shown.
2: Align the propeller against the shear pin on the shaft
(there is a groove on the back of the propeller which the shear
pin needs to slot into) and then tighten the propeller nut securely.

DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES
Deep Cycle batteries are
constructed using thicker battery
plates and a denser active
material to withstand repeated
charge and recharge cycles.
Rather than providing high bursts
of power for short periods of
time they are specially designed
to deliver sustained power with
low current draw over extended
periods of time.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
Please Note: for best performance
please keep battery terminals and
connections clean.
It is recommended to use an
inline fuse to protect the circuit
of the motor, this is a connection
that joins the motor battery cable
to the battery and shuts the
motor off if the connection over
heats. As shown on diagram (1)
We recommend using a deep
cycle marine battery for
optimum performance.
*In line fuse kits available separately
See page 16 for more details.

Bow Mount Measurement
With your boat in the
water, measure the
distance from the
mounting surface of
the transom or bow
to the water level.
The guide shown on
the right will assist
you in finding the
shaft length that best
suits your boat.
The graph

speak with
your dealer
regarding the

TROUBLESHOOTING QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
1. REDUCED OR NO POWER
Possible cause(s)/Solution(s):
• Weed or fishing line may be caught behind propeller. Remove propeller and
remove the debris.
• Check battery connections and ensure terminals are clean.
• Check battery voltage to ensure sufficient voltage. Recharge battery and
check for bad cell.
• Incorrect wire gauge used from battery to trolling motor or connection plug.
• Possible faulty connection in boat wiring or trolling motor wiring.
• Speed control armature magnet cracked or dislodged. Grinding noise will
come from motor. (CONTACT REPAIR AGENT)
• Water intrusion in motor housing which will show water or oily residue inside
head cover. (CONTACT REPAIR AGENT)
• Check the propeller pin is in place. (SEE PAGE 6 OF THIS MANUAL)
2. NOISE OR VIBRATION COMING FROM MOTOR
Possible cause(s)/Solution(s):
• Weed or debris may be caught in propeller.
• Check to see if propeller is securely tightened and shear pin is in place.
• Remove prop and look for a wobble on prop shaft to see if bent.
• Speed control brushes may be worn and may need to be cleaned and
or replaced. (CONTACT REPAIR AGENT)
