Maintenance Needs and Schedule
CAUTION
Use extreme care when following the procedures in this section.
Some maintenance tasks require you to move the motor from
the stowed to the deployed position multiple times, which
presents a potential for hands or fingers to be crushed by the
weight of the motor.
NOTICE
After using the motor in salt water or brackish water, you must
rinse off the entire motor with fresh water, and apply a water-
2
based silicone spray using a soft cloth. You should avoid
spraying jets of water at the cap on the top of the shaft when
rinsing the motor.
To maintain your warranty, you must perform a series of routine
maintenance tasks as you prepare your motor for the season. If
you use or transport the motor in dry, dusty environments
(traveling on gravel roads, for example) you should perform
these tasks more often during the season.
• Examine the power cable for wear, and patch or repair as
necessary .
• Check the power terminals, and clean them if necessary
(Checking and Cleaning the Power Terminals, page 4).
• Lubricate the hinges and bushings (Lubricating the Hinges
and Bushings, page 3).
• Clean and lubricate the stow and deploy latch mechanism
(Cleaning and Lubricating the Locking Mechanism,
page 3).
• Check the mount rails, and replace them if necessary
(Checking and Replacing the Mount Rails, page 4).
• Check the mount bumper, and replace it if necessary
(Checking and Replacing the Mount Bumper, page 5).
• Clean or replace the anodes in the propeller drive motor
(Servicing the Anodes, page 4).
Cleaning and Lubricating the Locking Mechanism
CAUTION
This procedure is best performed with the motor halfway
between the stowed and deployed positions. When in this
position, the motor is not secured, so you should support the
motor and use extreme caution to avoid pinching or crushing
hands or fingers.
1
Place the motor between the stowed and deployed positions
so the base is oriented vertically and you can access both
locking mechanisms
.
2
Support the weight of the motor so it cannot fall and crush
your hands or fingers.
3
Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from all of the locking
mechanism channels.
4
Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the locking mechanisms
and the channels.
5
Pull and release the pull cable a number of times to move the
mechanisms in the channels and distribute the grease.
6
If necessary, apply additional grease and repeat the previous
step.
7
Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from the latch receivers
on the front of the mount base.
8
Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the upper surface
of
the latch receivers on the front of the mount base, so the
locking mechanisms slide smoothly into the receivers.
9
Repeat the previous two steps for the latch receivers on the
back of the mount base
.
10
Return the motor to the stowed or deployed position.
Lubricating the Hinges and Bushings
There are a number of hinges and bushings that allow the motor
to transition smoothly from the stowed to deployed position and
back again. You should lubricate these areas as needed.
1
Locate the four primary hinge points
.
2
Apply a non-stick, dry-film lubricant to each hinge point, in the
space between the moving parts
, and allow it to dry
according to the instructions provided with the product.
3
3
Move the motor from the stowed to the deployed position and
back a number of times to distribute the lubricant.
