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.
BATTERY CONNECTION
12 Volt Systems:
1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).
2. Connect positive (+) red lead to positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Connect negative (–) black lead to negative (–) battery terminal.
4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller
is in the water.
24 Volt Systems:
1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).
2. Two 12 volt batteries are required.
3. The batteries must be wired in series, only as directed in wiring
diagram, to provide 24 volts.
a. Connect a connector cable to positive (+) terminal of battery
1 and to negative (–) terminal of battery 2.
b.Connect positive (+) red lead to positive (+) terminal on bat-
tery 2.
c. Connect negative (–) black lead to negative (–) terminal of
battery 1.
4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller
is in the water.
36 Volt Systems:
1. Make sure that the motor is switched off (speed selector on “0”).
2. Three 12 volt batteries are required.
3. The batteries must be wired in series, only as directed in wiring
dia
gram, to provide 36 volts.
a. Connect a connector cable to positive (+) terminal of battery
1 and to negative (–) terminal of battery 2.
b. Connect a connector cable to positive (+) terminal of battery
2 and to negative (–) terminal of battery 3.
c. Connect positive (+) red lead to positive (+) terminal on bat-
tery 3.
d. Connect negative (–) black lead to negative (–) terminal of
battery 1.
4. For safety reasons do not switch the motor on until the propeller
is in the water.
If installing a leadwire plug, observe proper polarity and fol-
low instructions in your boat owner’s manual.
See wiring diagram on following pages.
• IMPROPER WIRING OF 24 VOLT SYSTEM COULD CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION!
• KEEP LEADWIRE WING NUT CONNECTION TIGHT AND
SOLID TO BATTERY TERMINALS.
• LOCATE BATTERY IN A VENTILATED COMPARTMENT.
