Important Information
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
You must remove the trolling motor from the kayak before transporting the kayak. Transporting the kayak with the trolling motor on the mount may lead to an accident causing serious personal injury and property damage.
Do not run the motor when the propeller is out of the water. Contact with the rotating propeller may result in severe injury.
Do not use the motor in areas where you or other people in the water may come into contact with the rotating propeller, which could result in severe injury.
Use caution when operating the trolling motor near hazards in the water, such as trees, shallow rocks, docks, pilings, and other boats.
Always disconnect the motor from the battery before handling or working with the propeller, propeller drive motor, electrical connections, or electronics enclosures to avoid serious injury or death.
Always carry a paddle on your kayak, to avoid the possibility of becoming stranded on the water in the event of an unexpected power failure or other issue preventing the use of the trolling motor.
When using the trolling motor to drive your kayak backward, the kayak may steer unexpectedly, due to the hull interfering with the motor thrust. You must stay alert and aware of your surroundings when using the motor to move your kayak backward, to avoid possible personal injury or product damage caused by an accidental collision.
When transporting the trolling motor, always use the handle on the back of the steering system housing and be mindful of the propeller drive motor and the propeller, to prevent the possibility of personal injury or property damage.
You should make sure the motor is in the stowed position before entering or exiting the kayak. Accidentally driving the kayak while entering or exiting it may lead to personal injury or property damage.
You should use the Force® Current trolling motor with the high-efficiency propeller only in open-water conditions. When using the high-efficiency propeller in shallow water conditions, there is an increased risk of damaging the propeller if the motor collides with an underwater obstacle.
