BATTERY CONNECTION METHOD
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 minimize power wastage and give you maximum power from the battery. (A)

Any 12 volts battery could be used as the main power. The larger the battery capacity is, the longer it
will constantly supply electricity. However, due to limited carrying capacity of boats, we suggest you
use 40AH battery.
1. When the propeller gets wound by seaweed or shing line, or when it gets stuck by something,
please switch off the motor immediately. Otherwise it will get overheated and burn out.
2. Always make sure the propeller is unobstructed. The best performance is achieved when the
propeller is fully submerged, but less than 10 cm below the water line.
3. Wash the motor with fresh water after using it in salty water.
