ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the motor’s cables to the
battery terminals, ensure all switches are in the
OFF position and stand clear of the propeller.
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 12 v deep
cycle battery. Your Watersnake motor is
supplied as standard with ring type terminal
connectors although this can be changed to
suit your particular set up. If fi tting 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 supplied and
attached to the red power cable to protect the
circuit boards of the motor. This is a connection
that joins the motor battery cable to the battery
and shuts the motor off if the connection over
heats. As shown on diagram (1)
We recommend using a deep cycle marine
battery for
optimum performance.
