If extension to battery cable is required, refer to table on page 8 NOTE – if extending battery cable ensure that the circuit breaker remains in place on the positive wire PRE-USE CHECKLIST – CHECK BEFORE EACH USE • Ensure that your Watersnake motor is securely attached to your boat (refer to page 4 of manual) • Fully charged 12v deep cycle marine battery (your Watersnake motor is not designed to be used with a car / truck / motorcycle type battery) • Check battery cable for any signs of damage or exposed wiring • Check terminals for any signs of corrosion or debris • Check fuse assembly / circuit breaker – clean if any signs of corrosion or debris. Replace fuse if necessary. ( If your motor is equiped with one. ) ASP

Watersnake 4 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) Please note the angle adjustment option is only available on the ASP T-24 Motor with the metal bracket. The ASP-T18 Motor with the Nylon Bracket does not tilt. TIGHTEN BOTH BOLTS SECURELY DEPRESS THE POSITIONING PIN TO AJUST TILT OF THE BRACKET (A) (B) Watersnake Distribution Pty Ltd accepts no liability for personal injury or property damage caused while mounting this motor. PLEASE NOTE:

Watersnake 6 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. 1 2 Shear pin Propeller shaft Propeller Propeller nut

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. There are a number of different methods of connecting battery leads to your 12v deep cycle battery. Your Watersnake motor is supplied as standard with alligator clip type terminal connectors although this can be changed to suit your particular set up. If ﬁtting different terminal connectors ensure that connections are soldered and sealed appropriately. It is recommended to use heat shrink to seal any exposed joins in wiring or connectors. Any non-standard terminal connections must be capable of handling a minimum of 50 amps. Anderson plugs are a popular choice amongst many Watersnake motor owners and are readily available. A Watersnake circuit breaker is highly recommended. Attach to the red power cable to protect the circuit boards of the motor. As shown on diagram 1. This is a connection that joins the motor battery cable to the battery and shuts the motor off if the connection over heats. See Watersnake circuit breaker on page 20. Available as a seperate purchase. We recommend using a deep cycle marine battery for optimum performance. * 50 amp circuit breaker (1) 50 AMP FUSE BLACK CABLE ( NEGATIVE - ) RED CABLE ( POSITIVE + )

Watersnake 8 STOWING When your Watersnake motor is not in use always stow and store it properly. DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES A 12v deep cycle marine battery is required for normal operation and continued use of your Watersnake motor. 12v deep cycle marine batteries are constructed using thicker plates and a denser active material. They are built to withstand repeated charge and recharge cycles. Deep cycle marine batteries are speciﬁcally designed to deliver sustained power with low current draw over extended periods of time. Car / Truck / Motorcyle batteries are not designed in the same way and are more useful for providing high bursts of power for short periods. Use of car / truck / motorcycle batteries can cause damage to electronic components within your Watersnake motor. Note that above table is intended as a guide only. Your local electrical supplier will be able to advise in greater detail based on your particular set up and requirements.

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.

Watersnake 10 HEAD UNIT & SPEED CONTROL The Head units controls are easy to use. There is a switch for forward and reverse ( I o R ) and a switch for low (-) or high speeds (=). The handle of the motor head is stowable and extends with the pull of a button. This makes the motor more compact and easier to store away when not in use. Pull button to extend handle.
