MAINTENANCE
Your Watersnake Electric Motor should provide many seasons of dependable
service. However, like any tool, electric motors must be cared for.
After each day of fi shing, the motor should be cleaned thoroughly. A light
rinse with fresh water (do not direct a high pressure stream of water at the
motor) and wash with warm soapy water to remove any remaining salt / debris
particles should be completed. It is good practice to pay particular attention
to areas that are likely to hold salt / debris particles such as the shaft of the
motor and the area surrounding the transom mount bracket.
NOTE – The above cleaning routine should also be followed even if the motor
has been used in fresh water. Dust / dirt can still build up in fresh water
environments.
Dry excess moisture from the motor and sparingly lubricate all friction points
– a pressurized spray lubricant is ideal. It is important to keep the shaft of
your motor as smooth as possible to avoid deployment issues. A light coat of
wax or a coating with a spray lubricant should be applied to the shaft a couple
of times a year.
Periodical general maintenance (once or twice a year depending on use)
• Check for any loose screws / bolts / fi ttings and tighten as required.
• Check wiring / terminals for any sign of corrosion or build up of debris
• Check fuse or circuit breaker for any sign of corrosion or build up of debris
