Operating Safety

1. Observe all boating safety guidelines as outlined by the US Coast Guard

or by the governing agency for your area. Guidelines are typically posted

at your local marina.

2. Do not operate the trolling motor while under the influence of alcohol or

while taking medication that may impair your judgment.

3. Be aware of the possibility of unseen, underwater obstacles when

navigating in shallow water, keep the boat speed down to a safe level.

4. When navigating near shore, watch for overhead obstacles such as tree

limbs and floating dock tie-down cables.

5. When steering your motor, pay attention to your speed to determine a safe

rate at which to turn without throwing passengers off balance.

6. Before turning the prop on, observe the direction the motor is pointing to

avoid abrupt turns that could throw passengers off balance.

7. When the power is off but the motor is plugged in, keep your hands and

feet away from the propeller.

8. Always unplug the battery when performing motor maintenance.

9. To avoid a trip hazard, route all cables and wiring neatly and out of the

way.

10. Disconnect the trolling motor from the battery when it’s not in use.
