GENERAL INFORMATION

The Waternsnake GPS motor has been optimized for use on 16

to 24 foot sport fishing boats, such as a typical bass or flats boat.

Generally speaking it can hold position in currents of 2+ knots

or wind speeds up to about 30 knots, assuming wave action is

not too great.

Boats larger than 24 feet, or those with larger draft or windage may require

higher amounts of thrust to maintain position under adverse conditions such as

high wind or current. Under fair weather conditions the system can generally

be expected to perform reasonably well on larger boats.

Installation on boats smaller than 16 feet, or those of lighter weight, may result

in overly aggressive movements. In extreme cases this could lead to injury or

even death.

It is recommended that a trained technician install the

Watersnake GPSMART Motor. Improper installation can

lead to poor performance, injury or even death. It is the

responsibility of the installer to verify proper installation.

DO NOT connect the Waternsnake GPS motor to a power

source until installation is completed.

The Waternsnake GPS motor utilizes sensors which will likely

be affected by nearby magnetic fields. DO NOT install unit with or

near anything that produces a magnetic field (steel, magnets, etc.)

It is recommended that you read these assembly instructions prior to

installing your Watersnake GPSMART Motor. Improper installation can

lead to poor performance or injury. It is the responsibility of the

installer to verify proper installation.

ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO THE BOAT

The GPSmart motor integrates a quick release bracket mechanism.

Attach the bracket to the bow of the boat, taking care to ensure it is on the

centreline of the boat and placed forward enough so that when the motor is

attached the shaft of the motor is not making contact with the boats gunwale

rubber. With the bracket in position, mark the holes for drilling, ensuring as

you do that the bow area below the mounting location is clear and accessible.

Attach the bottom Nylon bracket to the bow using the stainless steel bolts,

nuts and washers provided. It is important when doing this work that the boat

is level.

1. Attach top plate to the bracket

2. Attach bottom plate to the boat.

3. Position motor bracket over top of bottom plate.

4. Push steel locking wire into locking plate

Watersnake Distribution accepts no liability for injury or damage caused while

drilling/mounting this motor. Please wear appropriate protective clothing and

eyewear/ face shield.

PLEASE NOTE:

Top plate (Attach to motor mount)

DEPLOYING THE UNIT

Loosen the depth adjustment collar and

slide it up the shaft to a position that will

give the desired motor depth. Firmly hand

tighten the adjustment knob to secure the

collar.

Step on the Tilt/Lock Lever and slide the

motor forward until the lower unit is clear of

the storage cradle.

Carefully tilt the unit forward and lower the

motor until the depth adjustment collar is

engaged with the steering bosses. The

Tilt/Lock Lever can be released as soon

as the motor begins to tilt. Once the unit is

fully deployed, verify that the lever has fully

returned to its up and locked position.

STOWING THE UNIT

Step on the Tilt/Lock Lever. Grasping the

head of the unit, pull it up and then back

until the lower unit rests securely in the

storage cradle. Release the Tilt/Lock Lever

and verify that it returns fully to its up and

locked position. Slide the depth adjustment

collar down until it is in contact with

the steering bosses, then very firmly hand

tighten the adjustment knob to secure the

unit. Done properly the unit cannot deploy.

Warning: Failure to secure the unit with the depth adjustment collar when

stowed can result in accidental deployment during extremely rough pounding

seas which will not be covered by the warranty.

ATTACHING THE PROPELLER

Before doing anything with the propeller, ensure the cables to

the battery are disconnected.

1: Place shear pin in shaft as shown.

2: Align the propeller against the shear pin on the shaft

(there is a groove on the back of the propeller which the

shear pin needs to slot into)

and then tighten the propeller nut securely.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The Watersnake GPSmart motor requires 24 Volts DC to Operate. Typically,

(2) 12V deep-cycle marine batteries are used.

BASIC INSTALLATION

Your Watersnake GPSmart system is provided with a factory installed 6’ power

cord with 5/16”ring terminals for connection to breaker/battery terminals

or power lugs. Please note that it is mandatory to install a fuse or breaker

protection for the system circuit. This protection should be rated for 50A, 24V.

If you boat is already wired with a 24 volt power system with appropriate circuit

protection, simply connect the white wire to the positive lug and the black wire

to the negative lug. Should you boat use a trolling motor plug or not have a

24 volt trolling motor circuit, please refer to additional instructions below or

contact an approved system installer.

PLUG INSTALLATION

If your boat is already wired with a 24 volt trolling motor battery system it may

be necessary to install a plug on the end of the main power conductor in order

to work with your boat.

There are many different plugs on the market, but generally it is possible to

obtain the appropriate plug from your local boating supply store. Please make

sure that the plug you install is rated for 50A, 24V. Should you have difficulty

locating the appropriate plug,please contact your nearest Watersnake dealer ,

and we will do our best to assist you.

Batteries produce and contain harmful materials that may result in personal

injury and/or property damage if improperly used. Refer to your battery

manufacturer’s guidelines for charging, discharging, storage and care instructions.

Be sure all switches/circuit breakers are in the OFF position and fuses are

removed when making battery connections. Failure to do so may result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

DO NOT connect the trolling motor batteries to any other device, including the

main outboard engine.

Verify that all conductors and connectors are rated for at least 50 Amperes

and 24VDC. All circuits MUST be protected using a 50A fuse or circuit breaker

in series with the positive lead. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or

property damage.

The following process is of moderate difficulty. Should you not feel comfortable

performing the steps listed below, we recommend that you contact an

authorized installer to complete this process for you.

GPSMART

Watersnake

This process is of moderate difficulty and should only be attempted by experienced

technicians. We recommend that you contact an authorized installer to complete

this process for you.

Once the appropriate plug is obtained, it will need to be installed on the

power cord. Depending on the location of the socket relative to your system

it may be appropriate to trim the main power conductor to a shorter length.

If shortening the power cable, be sure to leave adequate length to complete

the connection to the plug and allow for the plug to be inserted with a small

amount of slack remaining. Generally you should have 6” to 12” of slack in the

cable when plugged in.

Using a volt meter, determine the positive 24 volt and ground (negative)

terminals on the socket and plug. Following the instructions provided with

the plug, connect the white power wire to the positive 24 volt terminal and the

black power wire to the negative terminal.

When complete, reinstall any fuses or turn on your circuit breaker and

insert the plug into the socket. At this point you should hear the system beep

indicating that it is getting power.

COMPLETE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

If your boat is not already equipped with a 24 volt battery power system it will

be necessary to install one.

A 24 volt trolling motor battery system will generally consist of two, 12 volt

deep cycle batteries, #6 (or larger for long runs) power conductors, a 24v, 50A

rated circuit breaker, a 24v, 50A rated receptacle, and optionally a permanently

installed 24v battery charger as per the following wiring schematic. If you plan

to attempt a complete installation yourself, please feel free to contact your

nearest Watersnake dealer for additional guidance and information.
