1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
While our primary concern in designing the hydrogenerator was your safety, certain precautions
must nevertheless be taken when operating any mechanical or electrical equipment.
Please keep the following safety factors in mind when installing and operating the hydrogenerator,
and be aware at all times of the electrical and mechanical hazards inherent in operating the
propeller.
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
The hydrogenerator's blades are made of a composite material and can rotate at a speed of over
100 kph (62 mph).
At this speed, the blades are practically invisible and can cause serious injuries.
WARNING : WHEN INSTALLING THE HYDROGENERATOR, MAKE SURE THAT THE
PROPELLER IS SAFELY POSITIONED OUT OF REACH.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THE PROPELLER WITH YOUR HAND WHILE THE
GENERATOR IS RUNNING.
Electrical hazards
Heat in wiring systems often results from undersized cables or faulty connections.
Batteries have a very high current carrying capacity. A short-circuit in their cables may result in an
outbreak of fire. To prevent this hazard, you must install a 50 amp fuse between the converter and
each battery.
If the fuse is defective, you must determine the reason before resetting or replacing it.
WARNING : YOU MUST INSTALL AN EXTERNAL 50 AMP FUSE.
WARNING : ALWAYS PLACE THE HYDROGENERATOR IN THE LIFTED POSITION
BEFORE STARTING WORK ON IT.

38
Installation
Please observe the following precautions during installation :
• Remove the hydrogenerator from the water.
• Keep safety in mind at all times ! Have someone help you throughout the duration of the
installation.
• Remember : the batteries should be connected last.
Operation
• Check the support structure, blades and electric circuits on a regular basis.
• Although the propeller blades are made of very strong materials, they may warp or
break if they come into contact with a submerged object, acting as a fuse.
WARNING : NEVER TOUCH THE PROPELLER WHEN IT IS SPINNING.
WARNING : NEVER USE THE HYDROGENERATOR TO STEP ONTO OR OFF THE BOAT
AS THIS MAY WARP THE DRIVE SHAFT.
WARNING : WHEN RUNNING, THE CONVERTER CAN REACH VERY HIGH
TEMPERATURES.

Positioning the hydrogenerator on the transom
Correctly positioning the hydrogenerator is crucial for optimizing its performance.
The following criteria must be respected during the installation :
• Immersion depth :
The hydrogenerator is supplied with a submerged aluminium leg measuring 610 mm (24 in) or
970 mm (38 in). The recommended depth between the surface and the propeller axis is 300 mm
(12 in). The greater the depth, the farther the propeller will be from the wake of the hull, and the
better the performance of the hydrogenerator. However, the most important the lever arm is, the
greater the force on the mountings and during lifting will be.
We recommend a length of 970 mm (38 in) as a satisfactory compromise for most monohull
installations.
The 610 mm leg is suitable for very large monohulls with a device installed on each side.
• Flow quality :
The quality of water flow is a key element for obtaining satisfactory power output.
N.B. : Do not position the hydrogenerator directly in the wake of an appendage
or too close to a saildrive.
Wherever possible, position the hydrogenerator several inches to the side, in order to offset it from
the rudder, the propeller or other appendix.
Example of installation with the longer leg (970 mm / 38 in) :
Installation on a 10 m (33 ft) Figaro II heeling at 20° (CFD by CRAIN)
The length of 970 mm is enough for it to be immersed properly during listing because the loss of
speed due to the wake is about 5%.

43
• Examples of installations with the shorter leg (610 mm / 24 in) :
Dual installation on a Pogo40 (© CN STRUCTURES)
The hydrogenerators are placed parallel to the rudders but approximately 30 cm (12 in) to the
inside to avoid their wakes.
Installation on a catamaran (© OUTREMER YACHTING)
Here, the hydrogenerator is positioned to the side, out of the wake of the nearby rudder.

44
Installing the bracket on the transom
Depending on your boat's transom, its structure might need to be reinforced to take the stress on
the mountings. Phonic insulation also reduces vibrations.
WARNING : Due to the size of the lever arm, the maximum theoretical stress on
the bracket's fork mountings is estimated at around 300 kg. Your mounting
system should be adapted accordingly.
The bracket must be adapted to the 8 mm diameter fork mountings that are securely mounted onto
the transom.
These fork mountings must be mounted in such a way as to compensate for any tilt of the transom.
The diagram below will help you to adapt the mountings to your boat.
N.B. : The leg must be vertical in the lowered position, leading edge abutting
lower gudgeon.

Rigging the immersion/lifting system
The hydrogenerator is supplied with a lifting bracket that functions in a similar way to the systems
used on the rudders. It facilitates access to the propeller when the device is lifted, for the removal
of seaweed for example.
The lowering and lifting procedures are carried out using a hoist which is not included in the pack.
The maximum traction during lifting is around 40 kg. It is therefore recommended to rig a 4:1 to
6:1 hoist with a 6 mm diameter sheathed line (hoist available in option at Watt&Sea, refs: PA-04
and PA-04-HS, depending on boat sailing speed).
• Assembly of the lowering rope (as per blue line below):
Pass the rope successively :
-in the cam-cleat of the bracket
-in the two gudgeons of the bracket
-through the low friction ring
-in the hole of the lower gudgeon
-Finish the assembly by an eight-knot (see picture below)
• Assembly of the lifting rope ; please see in green below
•
Assembly of the lowering line using a low friction ring

46
The cleat integrated into the bracket is used to lock the lowering and lifting line. For permanent
blocking in lower position, you can use the locking pin.
Please take care in pull in a vertical way on the immersion and lifting lines to avoid the cleat from
opening unexpectedly.
N.B. : When the hydrogenerator is submerged, the leg should sit flush in the
groove of the gudgeon provided for this purpose. If this is not the case, the lateral
support will be less efficient, and this may result in mechanical damage.
It is also advisable to hold the lifting end in place using an elastic cord to prevent it from leaving
the groove.
Lifting the hydrogenerator

47
Dismantling the propeller
To dismantle the propeller, you should use the M6 extractor screw (supplied with the
hydrogenerator.)
• Unscrew the M5 screw that holds the propeller at the end of the shaft.
• In its place, insert the M6 screw and tighten it using the appropriate key. This will have
the effect of effortlessly removing the propeller from its conical fitting.
N.B. : Any method for dismantling the propeller other than the one described
above may result in damage to the hydrogenerator.
Mounting the electronic converter
The electronic converter is a box which is resistant to splashes and passive ventilation, guaranteeing
long-term protection even in humid environments.
The converter must nevertheless be installed inside the boat, preferably in the mechanical room in
close proximity to the batteries.
WARNING : WHEN RUNNING, THE CONVERTER CAN REACH VERY HIGH
TEMPERATURES. AS SUCH, ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN A VENTILATED
SPACE.
N.B. : To ensure proper ventilation, the converter must be mounted on a vertical
bulkhead, with the ventilation grids in a vertical position.
If you wish to get an access to the converter’s status, keep in mind to get a visual
access to the LEDS located on the top (white cover)
As it is so light, the converter can be securely attached using the Velcro provided.
• degrease the surface on which the converter will be installed
• remove the protective tabs of the strips of Velcro provided on the
converter
• apply the quick-drying glue if the surface is very uneven (against
plywood, fibreglass ...)
• firmly attach the converter to the surface

48
5. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Recommendations for electrical connections :
Please consult local/national safety rules before installation.
All electric cables must be carefully insulated. For maximum protection, cover the cables with
electrical cable sheaths.
WARNING : CONNECTIONS MUST BE INSPECTED REGULARLY TO DETECT SIGNS OF
CORROSION AND CLEANED WHEN NECESSARY. DAMAGED OR CORRODED
CONNECTIONS LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN PRODUCTION.
Wiring principle
Three-phase wiring of the hydrogenerator
WARNING : ALWAYS PLACE THE HYDROGENERATOR IN THE LIFTED POSITION
BEFORE STARTING WORK ON IT.
The hydrogenerator is fitted with a small diameter electrical cable of sufficient length to pass
through the transom. This is a three-phase cable.
§ We recommend using the connection kit with a cable and waterproof power socket.
(Ref. PL-04).
§ From here, use a three-phase cable to connect the hydrogenerator to the converter. If the
length of this cable is less than 10 metres, use a 3 x 1.5 mm2section. Above 10 metres, use
a 3 x 2.5 mm2section.
§ The converter is connected using the connector kit provided. Connect the 3 phases on one of
the premounted plugs supplied (Ref. CA-03). There is no importance in the connection
arrangement of the 3 other wires (BROWN, ORANGE, RED). The black wire must not be
connected, it is used to wire a solar panel (please see below). You can connect them with for
example WAGO 222 connectors. See the assembly instructions below.

Converter’s connections
N.B. : Using a cable that is less than 3 x 1.5 mm2in diameter will affect both the
output and the performance of the hydrogenerator.
The GND position must not be connected (ground terminal).
N.B. : The phase sequence is irrelevant. Therefore, there is no need to take into
account the color or numbering of the cables.
Using a solar panel
The converter has 2 inputs : one for the hydrogenerator and one for the solar panel. The solar
panel's maximum voltage must not exceed 50 VCC and the intensity must not exceed 14 amps.
Minimum voltage to start producing with the solar panels is 7,5VCC.
Wire the solar panel using the 2nd premounted plug CA-03, taking care of the polarity:

When the hydrogenerator and the solar panel generate power at the same time, priority is given
to the hydrogenerator. As soon as this is no longer generating power (lifted, the boat is moored)
the converter automatically takes into account the solar panel's charge.
Connecting the converter to the batteries
The converter must be placed as close as possible to the batteries in order to minimize losses due
to cable length. The maximum recommended distance is 2 metres.
The batteries are connected to the converter via a solar connector supplied.
The converter has an internal 2 output isolator that makes it possible to charge two battery units
separately. The 2 battery banks must be at the same voltage.
WARNING : RISK OF OVERLOADING AND FIRE. THE TWO BATTERY BANKS MUST
BE THE SAME TYPE AND HAVE THE SAME VOLTAGE.
WARNING : EACH BATTERY BANK MUST BE PROTECTED WITH A 50 AMP FUSE.
We recommend connecting the hydrogenerator's converter directly to the service battery bank.
The converter will monitor the batteries independently of the other on-board units, and will charge
them when required.
N.B. : Proper operation on one external battery isolator is not guaranteed and
may require additional adjustment. Please contact your distributor.
WARNING : NEVER REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE CONVERTER. THIS WILL LEAD
TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE.
Please see on next page to properly dismount the solar connectors from the converter.

Interpretation of the converter's LEDs
-When the converter is not charging, the battery
voltage is indicated by a pulse of color which changes
from green (12.8 V) to red (11.5 V).
-When the converter is charging, the output power is
indicated by a constant color which changes from
violet to blue (120W), to light blue (240W) and finally
to white (480W).
-Green or red colored flashes may overlay the
display of the constant color to indicate statuses or
anomalies :

Using Bluetooth
Since the end of 2019, Watt&Sea converters embed a Bluetooth chip (serial numbers above CV-
03-1630).
The Watt&Sea application is available on Appstore and Google Play. It will allow you to track
your hydrogenerator's production, make data records, and adjust charging settings.
To install and use the application:
• Download the application on Appstore or Google Play
• Please fill in the profile page with the requested informations
• -Activate Bluetooth on your phone or tablet
• Connect to the converter via the application (the converter has a serial number of type
CV-03-XXXX)
• When the connection is made, you will see the data (batterie voltage, amps
production, converter temperature)
• You can enable the Speed Over Ground display from the mobile GPS chip. (This
requieres the Location function)
To realize a datalog, you just have to choose to “store the datas” in the application’s parameters;
you can then find your logs in “history”and you can send them by mail easily.

6. INSTALLATION SUMMARY
The following instructions set out the main steps in the hydrogenerator installation procedure. This
is only a summary. Please refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for detailed instructions.
1. Place the propeller onto the device. (See 4.1)
2. Mechanically mount the hydrogenerator onto the transom. (See 4.2)
3. Install a WATT&SEA connector kit with cable and waterproof power socket (Ref. PL-04).
4. Then, mechanically mount the converter onto a vertical bulkhead, as close as possible
to the batteries. (See 4.6)
Make sure that the propeller is not submerged and that it is not possible for the
alternator to run during installation.
5. Run the converter's power cables through to the batteries. (See 5.3)
DO NOT CONNECT the cables to the batteries before installation is complete.
6. Attach the battery connectors, then connect the power cables to the batteries : red wire
to the positive terminal, black wire to the negative terminal. (See 5.3)
7. Once the converter is connected to the batteries, the LED will come on indicating the
current battery power, from red to green. When the propeller starts turning, the color of
the LED will change from violet (10W) to blue (120W) and finally to white (>300W)
