MOTOR INSTALLATION: Install the motor on the transom of the boat. Be sure to tighten the clamp screws securely. HANDLE INSTALLATION: Remove the wire clip from the ball detent located on the inner handle.Install outer handle over inner handle. Position the handles so the detent ball and OFF are aligned.Push the outer handle into the control box until handle “clicks” into place.7KHKDQGOHLVKHOGLQSODFHZLWKORFNLQJƬQJHUVVRVRPHIRUFHPD\EHUHTXLUHGWRlock the handles together.Once the handle is locked into the control box, it can be rotated and extended for normal use. Once the handle is installed, the assembly is permanent. Do not attempt to remove the handle.CAUTION:• Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.• Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.TILT ADJUSTMENT: You can lock your motor in a vertical position, angle it for shallow water or tilt it completely out of the water.

• Firmly grasp the control head or composite shaft.

• Depress and hold the tilt lock button.

• Tilt to any of the ten positions on the mounting bracket.

• Release the button. DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:
• Firmly grasp the composite shaft and hold it steady.

• Loosen the steering tension knob and depth collar knob until the tube slides freely.

• Raise or lower the motor to the desired depth.

• Tighten depth collar knob to secure the motor in place.

• Make sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12” to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. STEERING ADJUSTMENT:
• Adjust the steering tension knob to provide enough tension to allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in position without being held or; Tighten the knob and lock the motor in a preset position to leave your hands free IRUƬVKLQJREVERSE THE CONTROL HEADIf you wish to change the direction of propulsion, simply:
• Remove the collar screw and hex nut.

• Rotate the control head 180° and align the screw holes.

BATTERY / WIRING INSTALLATION / MAXIMIZER - BATTERY METER BATTERY INFORMATION: The motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 volt battery. For best results, use a deep cycle marine battery with at least a 105 ampere hour rating. The actual ampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and operation requirements. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. For best results, use a variable rate charger to avoid overcharging. If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, we recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine battery for your E-Drive.9ROW6\VWHPV 0DNHVXUHWKHPRWRULVVZLWFKHGRƪVSHHGVHOHFWRURQpƪq2. Connect the positive (+) red lead to the positive (+ battery terminal.3. Connect the negative (-) black lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller is in the water. NOTE: If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity and follow the instructions in your boat owner’s manual. $GYLFHUHJDUGLQJEDWWHULHVNever connect the (+) and the (-) terminals of the battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals.

• Three lights indicate good charge.

• Two lights indicate low charge.

• One light indicates recharge. AzAY9AY~RRA_YΔ An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) is strongly recommended. If you want to extend the battery cable longer than that provided with your unit, we recommend that you contact a Yamaha authorized dealer.We recommend installing the breaker as close as possible to the battery / batteries. NOTE: Wire Extension Length refers to the distance from the batteries to the trolling motor leads. Wire gauge is depending of extension length and power draw of the motor.WARNING:
• For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery or batteries when the motor is not in use or while the battery/ batteries are being charged.
• Improper wiring of 24/36 volt systems could cause battery explosion.

• Local authotities can require that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip- free circuit breaker or fuse. The type (voltage and current rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the trolling motor used. MAXIMIZER: The built-In Maximizer’s solid state electronics create pulse width modulation to provide longer running time and extended battery life. With the Maximizer speed control, you may, in single battery applications,
