MAXIMIZER™:
The built-In Maximizer’s electronics create pulse width modulation to provide longer running time and extended battery
life. With the Maximizer speed control, you may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth finder dis-
play. We recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the
depth finder from the starting / cranking battery. If problems still persist, call our service department at 1-800-227-6433.
