PRE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Familiarise yourself with the user manual and the various parts of your
Watersnake motor
• Select desired mounting location on boat. Ensure there is access to
properly fit the bracket in the location selected.
• 12 v deep cycle marine battery (your Watersnake motor is not designed for
use with car / truck / motorcycle type batteries) – for more information
about appropriate batteries for your Watersnake motor, refer to page 9
• Check battery cable length in relation to location of your 12v deep cycle
battery. If extension to battery cable is required, refer to table on page 9
NOTE – if extending battery cable ensure that the circuit breaker remains
in place on the positive wire
PRE-USE CHECKLIST – CHECK BEFORE EACH USE
• Ensure that your Watersnake motor is securely attached to your boat
(refer to page 5 of manual)
• Fully charged 12v deep cycle marine battery (your Watersnake motor is
not designed to be used with a car / truck / motorcycle type battery)
• Check battery cable for any signs of damage or exposed wiring
• Check terminals for any signs of corrosion or debris
• Check fuse assembly / circuit breaker – clean if any signs of corrosion or
debris. Replace fuse if necessary. ( If your motor is equiped with one. )
WATERSNAKE ELECTRIC MOTORS
Congratulations and welcome to a world of silent motoring.
Powerful yet silent, the Watersnake electric motors are built to suit all angling
conditions. High quality materials, superior design and precision engineering
make these motors longwearing and reliable.
Please read manual completely before starting installation.
VENOM SX
PLEASE NOTE - Please ensure this Watersnake motor is not your only
means of propulsion. Please follow the marine safety guide lines set by
your state or country of use.

ATTACHING THE PROPELLER
Before doing anything with the propeller, ensure the cables to the battery
are disconnected.
1: Place shear pin in shaft as shown.
2: Align the propeller against the shear pin on the shaft
(there is a groove on the back of the propeller which the shear
pin needs to slot into) and then tighten the propeller nut securely.

Watersnake Distribution Pty Ltd accepts no liability for personal injury or property
damage caused while mounting this motor.
PLEASE NOTE:
ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO YOUR BOAT
Attach the motor to the stern of the boat and tighten both mounting bolts
securely while taking care not to over-tighten. (A)
To adjust the angle of the motor after attachment, hold the motor head with
one hand and depress the positioning pin at the top of the mounting bracket
with your other hand. Press and hold the positioning pin until the desired
angle has been reached, next release the pin and ensure the mechanism locks
securely. (B)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the motor’s cables to the
battery terminals, ensure all switches are in the
OFF position and stand clear of the propeller.
Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal
and the black cable to the negative (-) terminal,
making sure the terminals are clean before
doing so. A clean connection will minimise
power wastage and give you maximum power
from the battery.
Please Note: for best performance please keep
battery terminals and connections clean.
There are a number of different methods of
connecting battery leads to your 12v deep
cycle battery. Your Watersnake motor is
supplied as standard with ring type terminal
connectors although this can be changed to
suit your particular set up. If fitting different
terminal connectors ensure that connections
are soldered and sealed appropriately. It is
recommended to use heat shrink to seal any
exposed joins in wiring or connectors. Any
non-standard terminal connections must be
capable of handling a minimum of 50 amps.
Anderson plugs are a popular choice amongst
many Watersnake motor owners and are readily
available.
A Watersnake circuit breaker is highly
recommended. Attach to the red power cable
to protect the circuit boards of the motor. As
shown on diagram 1. This is a connection that
joins the motor battery cable to the battery and
shuts the motor off if the connection over heats.
See Watersnake circuit breaker on page 26.
Available as a seperate purchase.
We recommend using a deep cycle marine
battery for optimum performance.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Hold the motor shaft with one hand, loosen the depth collar adjustment screw
and set the motor to the desired depth. Then retighten the adjusting screw on
the depth collar securely.
STOWING
When your Watersnake motor is not in use always stow and store it properly.
DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES
A 12v deep cycle marine battery is required for normal operation and continued
use of your Watersnake motor. 12v deep cycle marine batteries are constructed
using thicker plates and a denser active material. They are built to withstand
repeated charge and recharge cycles. Deep cycle marine batteries are
specifically designed to deliver sustained power with low current draw over
extended periods of time. Car / Truck / Motorcyle batteries are not designed
in the same way and are more useful for providing high bursts of power for
short periods. Use of car / truck / motorcycle batteries can cause damage to
electronic components within your Watersnake motor.
BATTERY CHARGING
• Do not attempt to charge your battery while your Watersnake is still
connected to the battery.
• Do not connect your Watersnake motor to a battery that is connected to your
main motor’s charging system (alternator).
• It’s important to note that a fully charged 12v deep cycle battery will actually
provide more than 12v (refer to your battery supplier for more information)
and at 12v or less your Watersnake motor may not operate normally.
• Do not connect your Watersnake motor directly to solar panels.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Hold the motor shaft with one hand, loosen the depth collar adjustment screw
and set the motor to the desired depth, then retighten the adjusting screw on
the depth collar securely.
STEERING
To adjust steering counter-force, simply loosen or tighten the counterforce
bolt. The ideal setting is one where the counterforce bolt is just tight enough
so that the boat will steer in the direction you are aiming without need for
continual correction.
