Product Overview
What The ET Series Is Built To Do
The ET Series sits in the brush half of the Hightime range at 45 / 55 / 65 lbs of thrust on 12V DC. Every unit ships with the telescopic tiller, mount bracket and weedless propeller fitted, so the only item to source locally is the deep cycle battery.

Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Series
45 / 55 / 65 lbs Of Thrust
Published maximum thrust for this series, with the current draw and output for every model listed in the specification table so you can size cable and battery correctly.
50 db Running Noise
Quoted at 50 db across the Hightime range, so the motor can be run on a fish-holding bank without pushing fish off the mark.
Weedless Machete Propeller
A 3-blade machete propeller that sheds weed and line instead of collecting it around the hub.
Anti-Corrosion System
Fitted for seawater or saltwater use, so the same motor can work coastal marks and freshwater.
Telescopic Tiller
An adjustable telescopic tiller, 390 mm extended on this series, so long trolling sessions are comfortable from a seated position.
Two Years Warranty
Two years manufacturer warranty on every unit, the same term across all eight Hightime series.
Problems It Solves
What Goes Wrong On The Water And What Fixes It
Problem
Petrol outboards spook fish on a shallow approach
The ET Series runs at a quoted 50 db, quiet enough to hold position on a mark without moving fish.
Problem
Weed and line jam the propeller mid-session
The weedless machete propeller is designed to shed weed rather than wrap it.
Problem
Nobody knows how much battery is left
Battery power and speed status are shown on the tiller through an LED indicator.
Problem
Salt shortens the life of the mount and motor can
An anti-corrosion system for seawater or saltwater use is fitted as standard to this series.

Use Guide
Getting The ET Series Onto The Water
Check The Transom
Measure transom height and confirm the 31 inch / 788 mm shaft gives the prop the depth it needs.
Clamp And Square
Fit the lock bracket to the transom, square the shaft and tighten both clamp screws evenly.
Wire The Battery
Connect to a 12V DC deep cycle battery with cable sized for the maximum current in the table above.
Set Depth And Run
Drop the shaft until the propeller is fully submerged, lock the collar and start on the lowest speed step.
FAQ
ET Series Questions Buyers Ask
The points that come up most often before a first order of this series.
What Boat Size Does The ET Series Suit
This series is rated at 45 / 55 / 65 lbs of thrust. Send us the boat length, the loaded weight and the water you fish and we will confirm whether this series or a larger one is the right fit.
What Battery Does The ET Series Need
The motor is supplied without a battery. The factory reference is a 100AH deep cycle battery at 12V DC. Size the bank from the rated and maximum current shown in the table, not from the peak figure alone.
Can We Order The ET Series Under Our Own Brand
Yes. Hightime has accepted OEM orders since the company started trading. Head decals, tiller markings, carton artwork and manual can be produced to your brand. See the OEM and ODM page for what we need from you.
What Is The Warranty On This Series
Two years manufacturer warranty, the same across every Hightime series.
Is The ET Series Suitable For Saltwater
Yes. An anti-corrosion system for seawater or saltwater use is fitted to this series. Rinse the motor with fresh water after every saltwater session; the routine is set out in our saltwater care guide.
How Are These Motors Packed For Export
One motor per carton. Carton dimensions and container loading for this series are confirmed by sales on request rather than estimated here.
