The Haswing Cayman B GPS series trolling motor is a robust and versatile electric propulsion system designed for marine use, offering advanced features for precise boat control and ease of operation. This owner's manual provides comprehensive guidance on its installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring users can maximize their experience on the water.
The Cayman B GPS series motor serves as an electric trolling motor, providing propulsion and steering for boats. Its primary function is to offer quiet and efficient movement, particularly useful for fishing or navigating shallow waters. The GPS functionality, available on specific models, enhances its capabilities by enabling advanced features such as spot lock (anchor mode), which allows the boat to maintain a precise position automatically. The motor is powered by deep cycle batteries, with different voltage requirements depending on the model (12V for 55lbs, 24V for 80lbs, and 36V for 101lbs).
The motor's core components include a durable DC motor, a propeller for thrust, and a motor shaft that allows for depth adjustment. The mounting base facilitates secure attachment to the boat, while a stow/deploy pedal enables easy raising and lowering of the motor. An adjustable depth collar allows users to set the optimal propeller depth for various water conditions. The motor also features a battery status display, providing visual feedback on the remaining battery charge.
For control, the Cayman B GPS series utilizes a remote control unit. This remote allows users to manage various functions, including power on/off, speed control (faster/slower, full speed), steering (left/right), and activating the anchor mode (spot lock). The remote control communicates wirelessly with the motor, offering convenient operation from anywhere on the boat. A pairing button on both the motor and the remote ensures a secure connection between the two devices. Indicator lights on the motor provide visual cues for GPS status and pairing success.
Safety is a key aspect of the motor's design. It is equipped with a motor transportation retainer to secure the motor during transit and a motor lift handle for ergonomic handling. The propeller features a replaceable fin (skeg) to protect it from impacts. The motor's waterproof levels are rated at IP63 for most components and IP68 for the motor itself, ensuring durability in marine environments.
Operating the Cayman B GPS series motor involves several user-friendly features designed for convenience and precise control. Before initial use, proper installation of the propeller, lift handle, and fin is crucial, along with correct battery connection. The manual emphasizes using only deep cycle batteries of the correct voltage and ensuring secure connections to prevent damage.
Deploying and stowing the motor is made easy with the stow/deploy foot pedal. Users can gently lower the motor into the water, ensuring the depth collar aligns with the steering collar. When stowing, the motor retracts horizontally and clicks into a cradle, securing it in place. The motor's depth can be adjusted by loosening the nut on the depth collar, sliding the motor shaft to the desired depth, and then tightening the nut. A helpful suggestion is to mark a preferred depth setting for general fishing conditions.
The remote control is central to the motor's operation. After pairing the remote with the motor, users can access a range of functions. Speed control is intuitive, with dedicated buttons for increasing or decreasing speed, as well as a full-speed (turbo mode) option. Steering is managed with left and right directional buttons, allowing for precise navigation. The anchor mode (spot lock) is a standout feature, enabling the boat to automatically hold its position, which is invaluable for fishing or holding against currents. The remote also includes a mode signal light that indicates its status (standby, signal sending, or anchor mode).
The motor's battery status display provides real-time feedback on battery charge, helping users manage power consumption. For lithium batteries, the display offers an approximate indication due to their discharge characteristics. The remote control itself is rechargeable via a USB cable, and its battery status is indicated by a charging light. A lanyard is provided for the remote, offering flexible carrying options.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Cayman B GPS series motor. The manual outlines several key maintenance practices.
One critical aspect is post-use cleaning, especially after operating in saltwater. Users are advised to wash down the motor with fresh water to prevent corrosion. Additionally, it is important to regularly inspect and remove any debris, such as fishing line or weeds, from around the propeller and propeller drive shaft. This helps prevent damage and maintains efficiency.
Battery care is also emphasized. Users should always disconnect the battery when stowing the boat for extended periods or when recharging the battery. This prevents accidental discharge and protects the motor's electronics. Batteries should be secured and kept free from contact with metal objects to avoid short circuits, with a battery box being recommended.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues. If the motor fails to run or lacks power, users are instructed to check power cable connections, ensure terminals are clean and corrosion-free, verify battery charge, and inspect the propeller for obstructions or damage to the drive pin. For motor vibration, checking the propeller installation and condition of the drive/shear pin is recommended. If strong resistance is felt when manually turning the propeller, it may indicate internal damage, and users should contact customer service.
The motor also features an audio warning system to alert users to operational errors. A continuous beep, for instance, indicates a power output overload, which can occur if the motor is trying to propel an excessively heavy vessel or if the propeller is obstructed. If the battery voltage drops too low, the motor will automatically shut off to protect itself. Regular charging of the remote control, even when not in use, is advised every three months to maximize its battery life. The manual stresses the importance of using only the supplied charging cable for the remote to prevent damage.
