Item # 33-6060    60 AMP Reset Fuse
To prevent a meltdown or fire, we strongly recommend a #8 heavy gauge lithium ion plug in conjunction with a 60 amp.    A 55 to 60 amp hour lithium-Ion battery requires a 60 amp reset fuse.  F

​Item # 33-6011-LIP     Lithium-Ion Plug
Heavy Gauge Plug are required for use with lithium-ion batteries.  
Due to the extended range of a lithium-ion battery in comparison to traditional deep cycle or gel batteries; lithium-ion will cause the traditional plug terminals to overheat at point of plug contact.  Lithium Ion batteries increase time and distance on the water for a much longer period of time.  This extended period of running time, creates an enormous amount of heat, which create a meltdown on traditional trolling motor wire harnesses. Plug is factory installed.

Variable Speed Trolling Motors are one of the most improved technology today. Boaters and kayakers are gravitating to trolling motors with variable speeds due to their many benefits,
Benefits of Variable Speed Include:
  • Infinite Speed Range of "0-100 speed forward and reverse", which allows for trolling at very low speeds for hours without affecting any speeds of the motor. 
  • A Micro Processer aka (Pulse Width Modulator) to increase battery range 3 to 4 times, allowing for hours of continuous trolling.
  • Controlled Amperage provides steady trolling in currents and wind while conserving battery at 95% efficiency.
  • Integrated Electronic Board System senses over and undercharge of voltage, eliminates voltage spikes, 95% efficiency in power and torque.
  • Soft start: no spooking of fish while trolling and lighter in weight than conventional trolling motors.
​Battery Compatible:  Lithium-Ion / LiFePO4, Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and GEL batteries.
