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 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.
