For storage and security purposes the MotorGuide Wireless Cradle Lock™
mount makes it easy to completely remove and reinstall the mount and motor.
When the mount and motor are removed from the boat, a snap-on Wireless
Mounting Plate Cover (see the Accessories section of this manual for order
information) is available to protect the mounting plate.
Wiring & Battery Information
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. The battery also produces
hydrogen and oxygen gasses when being charged. This explosive gas
is released through the battery vents and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery for several hours after it has been
charged. Electrical arcing or flames can ignite the gas and cause an
explosion which may shatter the battery and could cause blindness or
other serious personal and property damage. Refer to your battery
manufacturer’s guidelines for charging instructions.
!
WARNING
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting the
motor to the batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite
gas vapors causing an explosion.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a possible fire caused by a direct
short; do not jump-start an outboard motor using the trolling motor
battery/batteries.
Wire & Cable Routing
!
WARNING
Route trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other
miscellaneous boat wiring (bow light wiring, spot light wiring, etc.).
Transducer installation should be installed according to the manufacturer’s
specifications. To avoid interference, cables should be routed separately
from the trolling motor cables.
