11 Emergency Situations/Actions
11.1 Collision
If the outboard has a significant impact with an underwater object, please:
1. Immediately shut down the motor.
2. Check the mechanical structure including propeller to see if there is damage, and the control
system to see if it functions properly.
3. If you think it’s still safe to operate, return to the nearest harbor or pier in low power.
4. If you don’t think it’s safe to operate call for assistance and/or tow.
5. Contact your authorized ePropulsion dealer for inspection and repair as necessary. Only use
the motor again after it has been inspected/repaired and deemed safe.
11.2 Outboard Submerged/Swamped
If the motor has not been properly stored or has been submerged in water before, the motor may
be at risk of internal water ingress. In such a situation:
1. Stop it immediately and turn it off with the power button.
2. Return the outboard to an authorised ePropulsion dealer. Tell them what has happened to it
so that they can inspect/repair it before further use.
