1.  Carefully follow the installation instructions provided by the motor manufacturer. Be sure to attached the color-coded wires to the 

proper terminals. Do not install the motor with the boat in the water.

2.  Install the battery (not included). The battery should be either a F24 or F27 RV/Marine Deep cycle 12 VDC battery. Position the 

battery so the terminals are closest to the back seat. Be sure to attach the battery leads to the proper poles. Red is positive (+) and 
black is negative (-). Secure the battery with the battery strap. DO nOT transport the boat on a trailer or pick up truck with the 
battery installed
. Bouncing and jarring of the battery during transport could crack the battery compartment. 

3.  Install the prop on the motor using the shear pin and prop nut. Make sure the prop nut is snug.
4.  The control panel has a forward/reverse and speed control switch. It provides five forward speeds and three reverse. Lower the 

motor to the operating position by pressing the spring in the middle to break the spring tension. Do not operate the motor in the 
“uP” position
. Stay clear of the prop. The motor should rotate counter clockwise. Set the direction control switch to REVERSE 
and repeat procedure. The motor should turn clock-wise. All five speeds in forward and three in reverse should operate properly. If 
they don’t review the wiring diagram carefully and make sure all wires are connected to the proper terminals. If the unit still fails to 
operate properly, contact the motor manufacturer for assistance.

5.  You should be able to operate your electric pedal boat 2-5 hours on a fully charged deep cycle marine battery. Running the motor 

at less than top speed significantly extends the time before the battery needs recharging. If the battery should run down to the 
extent that progress is unsatisfactory you have the option of manually pedaling the boat to supplement the thrust of the motor.
