10 Daily Maintenance
1. Check behind the propeller after each day for weeds, shing line or
other debris that may get wrapped behind the propeller.
2. Lubricate all the pivot points with a non-aerosol lubricant. Never
use an aerosol lubricant as many types contain harmful propellants
that can cause damage to various parts of your electric motor.
3. Check tightness of the battery lead connections.
4. Visually check condition of main battery cables.
5. Inspect for loose or corroded wiring connections.
6. Always thoroughly rinse your electric outboard motor with fresh
water after every use in salt water. Only rinse the areas that have
been in contact with salt water, avoid getting the top cover wet as
this may damage the circuitry inside.
7. Inspect tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws.
8. Recharge batteries after each use. Follow the battery manufactur-
er’s recommendations for battery maintenance.
9. During freezing temperatures, when your electric motor is not being
used, it should be stored in an area where it will not freeze.
10. Never connect the wires to the wrong battery terminal. You must
disconnect the battery during maintenance.
