9. Replace the washer and nut and tighten with the socket
while holding the Propeller making sure it is securely
fastened (See fig. 14).

Sand or Grit on Seal
Ensure that sand/grit does not get on the seals as correct
maintenance and care is essential. To remove sand or grit
from the seals, rinse the seals in fresh water and apply
fresh lubricant. If there is sand inside the Battery Housing,
gently brush the sand from the unit taking care not to
scratch the sealing surfaces.
Accidental Flooding
It is important that the seal is kept sand and grit free to
ensure it keeps water out and to close the latches fully
after accessing the battery chamber. However, should the
seal not be clean or the latches not fully closed and water
enter the battery chamber, your SEASCOOTER will not be
damaged as it is designed for protection against accidental
flooding.
If water enters the battery chamber.
1. Remove the unit from the water, open the nose cone
and tip any excess water out.
2. Wait two minutes for any gases to dissipate, then
remove the battery.
3. If salt water has entered, rinse battery housing and
battery with fresh water.
4. Dry housing and battery thoroughly.
5. A safety catalyzer, to protect against explosive gas in
normal use is held in a spring in the bottom of the
battery housing. If the catalyzer is wet, it will not function
and must be allowed to dry out before use.
