Connecting to Power
To avoid possible serious personal injury or property damage, the circuit breaker must be in the off position before you connect the trolling motor power cable to it.
You must connect the positive (+) wire on the power cable through a circuit breaker or a fuse rated for 40 A (continuous). Connecting this wire to power without a circuit breaker or fuse could result in a short on the wire, which may lead to overheating and a possible fire.
You must connect the Force® Current trolling motor to a 12 or 24 Vdc battery. Connecting the motor to other voltages may cause poor performance or product damage.

Insert the power cable connector, with the cable approximately parallel to the kayak, and push until it is fully inserted.
NOTE: Make sure the locking collar on the power cable connector is in the unlock position, before connecting it to the motor.
The power cable strain relief rests against the cradle on the motor housing.
