Replacing the Propeller

CAUTION! Make sure that the motor has been disconnected from batteries.

1. Hold the propeller blade and loosen the propeller nut, using the prop spanner supplied or a set of needle nose pliers. Remove the propeller nut.

2. Pull the propeller straight off. If prop is stuck, grasp one blade with one hand and tap on the backside of the opposite blade lightly with a rubber mallet, until the propeller comes off. If the propeller pin is bent, replace it.

3. Align the new propeller with the propeller pin. Re-install the propeller nut and tighten firmly by hand, tighten with spanner another ¼ turn.

CAUTION! Do not strike a bent prop pin with hammer to remove the pin. Damage to motor armature

may occur and will not be covered by warranty.

About the Circuit Breaker (50amp)

During the usage of the electric trolling motor, the propeller can sometimes get stuck by weeds, fishing lines, or fishing webs. Sometimes, due to the variance of the water depth, the propeller can become covered by silt. If those situations occur, quickly disconnect the battery and clean up the propeller. (Please DO NOT skip steps and increase the thrust of electric outboard motor to solve the problem, or it may cause permanent damages to the electric trolling motor.)

The characteristics between the electric outboard motor and gasoline outboard motor are different. If the propeller of the motor gets stuck, the gasoline outboard motor will shut down to not cause any permanent damage to the motor itself. However, the electric outboard will draw extremely large currents due to the motor stall and can generate large amounts of heat that can damage important components in the motor such as the switch, rotor and other connecting parts or can even cause dangerous battery explosions.

In some muddy water areas, it can be hard for the user to recognize that the motor is stalled. To prevent these situations from occurring, it is strongly recommended to use the circuit breaker to protect the electric trolling motor. If the current draw of the electric trolling motor exceeds the limit of normal usage, the circuit breaker will cut off the power automatically to prevent any possible damage to the electric trolling motor. The circuit breaker has a reset button and is therefore reusable.

To prevent the rotor coil from damage because of exceeding the current, it is highly recommended to use a circuit breaker to protect the electric trolling motor.

Circuit Breaker Function

When the electric trolling motor is being used, when the propeller is stuck by the weeds, small stones, fishing lines, etc., the circuit breaker will cut off the power automatically to prevent damage to the motor's electrical parts.

If the circuit breaker cuts off the power, please disconnect the battery first, then check and clear any obstacles. Then, press the reset button on the circuit breaker and reconnect the battery, the electric outboard motor will now be able to continue functioning properly.

•

Check the tightness of the battery lead connections.

•

Visually check the condition of the main battery cables.

•

Inspect for loose or corroded wiring connections.

•

Always thoroughly rinse your electric trolling motor with fresh water after every use in salt water. Only rinse the areas that have been in contact with salt water; avoid getting the top cover wet as this may damage the circuitry inside.

•

Inspect for tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws.

•

Recharge batteries after each use. Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for battery maintenance.

•

During freezing temperatures, when your electric motor is not being used, it should be stored in an area where it will not freeze over.

•

Never connect the wires to wrong battery terminals. Always disconnect the battery during maintenance.
