PROPELLER REPLACEMENT MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING
10
PROPELLER REPLACEMENT:
1. Hold the propeller and loosen the
anode/nut with a pliers or a wrench.
2. Remove anode/nut and washer. If the
drive pin is sheared/broken,
you will need to hold the shaft steady
with a screwdriver blade pressed
into the slot on the end of the shaft.
3. Turn the old prop to horizontal ( as
illustrated ) and pull it straight off.
If drive pin falls out, push it back in.
4. Align new propeller with drive pin.
5. Install prop washer and anode/nut .
6. Tighten anode/nut 1/4 turn past snug
or to 25-35 inch lbs. Be careful, over
tightening the anode/nut can damage
the prop.
NOTE: The weedless wedge propeller is designed to provide
absolute weed free operation with very high efficiency. To
maintain top performance, the leading edge of the blades
must be kept smooth. If this edge is rough or nicked,
restore to smooth by sanding with fine sandpaper.
MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
• Check battery connections for proper polarity.
• Make sure that the terminals are clean and corrosion free.
• Check the battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time:
• Check battery/batteries charge, if low, restore to full charge.
3. Motor does not steer.
• Make sure the drive/depth collar is tight andfully engaged with the drive motor.
4. Motor does not respond to CoPilot commands.
• Make sure the cable connector plugs at the drive mount are secure.

Installing the rod mount
•The rod mount is designed for installation on any area of the rod grip, especially the area forward of the reel.
(See the figures above.)
• Spinning reel users may want to install the mount on the top of the rod to allow thumb operation of the
remote.
• Bait casting reel users who “palm” the reel may install the mount on the side of the rod to allow remote opera-
tion with the index or middle finger.
• The mount should be positioned on the rod so that the unlocking latch on the bracket is toward the rod tip.
1). Position the rod mount in the desired location on the fishing rod, holding it in place with your thumb.
2). Insert (2) tie-down straps through the rod mount and cinch down around the rod (place the locking
head of the tie-down strap to either side of the rod mount; do not place in the area below the remote.)
3). Trim the excess tie down strap with a side cutter or scissors.
• To attach the remote to the mount, slide the remote into the mount from the rear of the bracket. Ensure that
the slides on the mount engage the slots on the sides of the remote. Slide the remote into the mount until it
snaps into the locked position.
• To release the remote from the mount, press down on the unlocking latch while simultaneously sliding the
remote out of the mount.
• During periods of non-use, we recommend that the remote be inserted into the mount with the buttons facing
down. This will help to ensure that there are no unintentional button presses while the rod is in storage.
