Since speed depends on many factors, such as loading, water condi-
tion, hull type, wind speed, etc., it is dicult to give accurate speed
ratings. Instead refer to the thrust and power ratings provided above.
3 Wiring and Battery Recommendations
3.1 Battery Type
Recommended battery(s): 12-volt Deep Cycle battery or Marine battery.
To extend running time, either a larger capacity or an additional battery
can be used. See section on battery connection method.
NOTE: 86lbs model requires a 24-volt battery.
3.2 Circuit Protection
It is recommended to install a manual reset circuit breaker in the electric
outboard motor leads within 72 Inches (1.8m) of the battery(s).
3.3 Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product, New-
port Vessels recommends the use of 8-gauge wire (13mm2 wire).
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before
connecting to battery or batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could
cause an explosion. The battery produces hydrogen and oxygen gases
while charging. This potentially explosive mixture escapes through the
ll vent cell caps and may form an explosive atmosphere around the
