1.4 Important Notes
1. Check the status of the outboard and battery level before each trip.
2. The distance and speed value displayed is measured by Global Positioning
System (GPS), there may exist small errors due to GPS signal strength
degradation or some external environment conditions like currents, winds and
change of course.
3. Ensure the top of outboard is uncovered to avoid GPS signal attenuation.
4. Familiarize yourself with all the outboard operations, including starting, steering,
stopping, trim adjusting and tilting.
5. Only adults who have fully read and understood this manual are allowed to
operate this product.
6. Follow the boat manufacturer’s instructions to choose a suitable outboard. Do
not overload neither the boat nor the outboard.
7. Stop the outboard immediately if someone falls overboard during the trip.
8. Protect the battery from dropping into water or short-circuiting.
9. Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions and pay attention to short circuit,
over-heat, over-charge and over-discharge.
10. Operate the outboard only when the propeller is underwater.
11. Tilt up the outboard motor above water after use.
12. Wash the outboard in time with fresh water after sailing in salt water.
13. Clean all electronic contacts with contact spray about every two months.
14. Do not leave the outboard in water if the boat speed reaches 30km/h which is
driven by other power such as sailing or rowing.
15. An error code will display on the panel if the outboard malfunctions. Put the
throttle to zero position and turn off the main switch, then refer to Chapter 5.8
Warning Messages for details and solutions.
16. For safety consideration, the system will shut down automatically when the
temperature of the motor or driver rise too high or the battery voltage drops too
low during operation.
17. Users are responsible to assemble the propeller and steering wheel. If other
assembly or disassembly is required, please contact your dealer. ePropulsion
accepts no liability for any damage or malfunction caused by operations that
violate this manual.
18. If the communication cable is not connected, ensure to cover the cap of the
communication connector on the machine, otherwise the connector will corrode
and the machine will not be able to communicate.

2 Preparations
2.1 Selecting the Battery
It is recommended to use ePropulsion E Series Batteries.
Lithium-based and lead-acid batteries can be used to supply power for NAVY 6.0
Evo(2024). Considering the high performance in energy density and discharge ability,
lithium-based batteries are more preferable. To ensure that NAVY 6.0 Evo(2024) can
work at its full power continually, the batteries are required to possess over 125A of
continuous discharge current. To ensure at least one hour of duration, the battery ca-
pacity should reach 6000Wh or above.
The rated continuous discharge current is affected by the battery type and quantity
of parallel batteries. To use lead-acid batteries, conventional lead-acid or AGM or GEL
batteries are acceptable, while starter batteries are not recommended. Traction bat-
teries or deep cycle batteries are more preferable as they give power over sustained
period of time. Besides, the deep cycle marine batteries are also capable.
Battery capacity is a major factor that affects trip duration and distance. For instance,
a battery with 48V of rated voltage completely discharges at a continuous current of
125A in 1 hour, so its rated capacity is 6000Wh (125Ah*48V=6000Wh), we also can
say its rated capacity is 125Ah. The maximum power of NAVY 6.0 Evo(2024) is 6kW
which means the system can be running at full power for about 1 hour when using
this battery. You can select a battery with proper capacity based on your require-
ments for travelling time and distance. Note that the operating time and distance are
also affected by the input power of the outboard plus the external environment and
temperature. In addition, boat type and load also play important roles.
Users can connect four 12V batteries in series to make a 48V battery set and use it to
supply power for NAVY 6.0 Evo(2024) Users can also enlarge the battery capacity by
parallel conguration.
When using E Series Batteries, the batteries will work well once being correctly
connected. When using non-ePropulsion batteries, before starting the outboard,
users should congure the batteries via the Evo Control System for the rst time
use, otherwise the batteries may not work properly.
Only use the same batteries (same model, same capacity, same age and same
manufacturer) in series or in parallel configuration. Variations in the batteries
will cause damage to them.

2.2 Selecting and Mounting the Propeller
For NAVY 6.0 Evo(2024), the plastic propeller is in the package, users should mount
the propeller before use. The included plastic propeller is suitable for scenarios with
a speed of up to 20km/h. When the speed exceeds 20km/h.It is recommended to pur-
chase and use metal propeller. Metal propeller can fully perform in scenarios with this
speed and can also be equipped with a cutter to handle debris such as aquatic plants
and ropes in the water, preventing machine malfunctions caused by entanglement
with debris.
Figure 2-1
Step3: Attach the propeller.
Step4: Attach the Φ12 washer.
Step5: Tighten the nut with 19mm
(3/4 inch) socket wrench.
Step6: Attach the Anode.
Step1: Attach the Φ16 washer.
Step8: Screw and tighten the nut
with M6 hexagon wrench.
Step2: Fix the pin to the hole of shaft.
Step7: Attach the Φ6 washer.

3 Mounting the Outboard Motor
Select an outboard with proper shaft length according to the transom height of your
boat. The top of the propeller should be 100mm to 150mm below the water.
The outboard should be mounted on the centerline of your boat. If the boat shape is
asymmetric, please consult your dealer for proper solution.
3.1 Position of Mounting
The mounting height of the outboard affects the running speed seriously. When the
mounting height is too high, cavitation may occur, which may lead to speed slow-
down, energy waste, and propeller damage. When the mounting height is too low, the
water resistance will reduce both travelling speed and performance of the outboard.
In general, the optimal mounting height is affected by the specific conditions of a
boat. In order to get the optimal mounting height, it’s suggested to test running by
mounting the outboard at different heights. Please consult your dealer for more help.
Transom Height Recommended Model
Higher than 500mm NAVY 6.0 Evo-L
400mm–500mm NAVY 6.0 Evo-S

3.2 Mounting the Outboard
Method 1
Rotate the two clamps in clockwise direction to x the outboard onto transom.
Figure 3-2
Method 2
Use two screws to x the outboard to the boat. The dimensions of the two mounting
holes are shown below.
Figure 3-3
Ensure the outboard is firmly fixed as loosened clamp screws may cause the
outboard to fall into water or get damaged. Check the screws or clamps every
time before use since they may be loosened because of mechanical vibrations.
A cable is recommended to be used to avoid complete loss of your outboard in
case it falls off the transom. Use the cable to connect your outboard and a se-
cure mounting point on the boat.

3.3 Mounting the Steering System
Before using Evo Remote Control, please follow the xing guide to x the Evo Re-
mote Control in the proper position.
When using the Evo Remote Control, please prepare a steering wheel (not supplied
with NAVY 6.0 Evo(2024) or the Evo Remote Control) and mount it on the correspond-
ing position to control the direction.
Step2: Mount the Link arm with
two M8 nuts.
Step3: Fasten the steering wheel
shaft on the steering tube
with thread.
Step1: Insert the steering wheel
shaft into the steering tube.

3.4 Mounting the Evo Tiller
1. Rotate the handle shaft counterclockwise, then pull out the handle shaft and
decorative cover.

2. Install the tiller to the machine.
Figure 3-6
3. Insert the handle shaft into the hole to the end and lock it clockwise.

Handle Shaft
Do not use the tiller handle to tilt or lift your outboard. The damage of tiller or
battery base due to pushing down the handle is out of warranty.
