GENERAL INFORMATION

The Waternsnake GPS motor has been optimized for use on 16 to 24 foot sport fishing boats, such as a typical bass or flats boat. Generally speaking it can hold position in currents of 2+ knots or wind speeds up to about 30 knots, assuming wave action is not too great. Boats larger than 24 feet, or those with larger draft or windage may require higher amounts of thrust to maintain position under adverse conditions such as high wind or current. Under fair weather conditions the system can generally be expected to perform reasonably well on larger boats.

Installation on boats smaller than 16 feet, or those of lighter weight, may result in overly aggressive movements. In extreme cases this could lead to injury or even death.

It is recommended that a trained technician install the Watersnake GPSMART Motor. Improper installation can lead to poor performance, injury or even death. It is the responsibility of the installer to verify proper installation.

DO NOT connect the Waternsnake GPS motor to a power source until installation is completed.

The Waternsnake GPS motor utilizes sensors which will likely be affected by nearby magnetic fields. DO NOT install unit with or near anything that produces a magnetic field (steel, magnets, etc.)
