Maintenance Needs and Schedule

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-based silicone spray using a soft cloth. You must avoid spraying jets of water at the shaft cap, to prevent water ingress that could lead to product damage.

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.
