7.2 Changing the propeller
1. Turn the battery master switch to the „OFF” position or neutral position.
2. Loosen the sacrificial anode (for disassembly it is best to use a 17 mm 12-point long
reach socket). Remove the O-ring seal by loosening the underlying nut. This makes it
simpler to slide the O-ring seal off the shaft (again, use a 17 mm 12-point long reach
socket for this purpose).
3. Pull the propeller off the shaft together with the washer.
4. Pull the shear pin out of the motor shaft, remove the ring or washers.
5. Turn the battery master switch to the „ON” position. Let the motor run at slow speed
and check the shaft sealing ringfor smooth shaft operation. In case of a damaged or
unbalanced shaft please contact Torqeedo’s Service Dept.
6. Turn the battery master switch to the „OFF” position or neutral position. Mount the
ring, then insert the shear pin.
7. Slide the propeller onto the shaft all the way to the stop, then rotate the groove in the
propeller until it is in line with the shear pin.
8. Slide the washer over the shaft and tighten the hexagon locknut to the propeller (11
Nm).
9. Refasten the O-ring seal.
10. Helpful hints for items 8 and 9: If necessary, use an auxiliary tool such as a centre
punch, a tapered punch or a mandrel on which to slide the disk, the nut, and finally
the O-ring seal.
11. Refasten the sacrificial anode (7.5 Nm).
7.3 Other care instructions
To clean the motor you can use any cleaning agents suitable for plastic - follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Cockpit sprays available for cars achieve good results on the
plastic surfaces of the Cruise models.
6. Dismantling
1. Remove Magnetic Kill Switch from remote throttle (Cruise R)/tiller (Cruise T) and
switch off motor completely by pressing „on/off” button on the display. Set the battery
main switch to the off or neutral position.
2. Unplug connection between motor, cable set, and remote throttle (Cruise R)/ tiller
(Cruise T).
3. Unhinge the motor and place it on a flat surface.
• The pylon may be hot.
• Make sure the motor is dry before you store it.
• Ensure you do not bend the cable around sharp edges.
7. Storage and care instructions
7.1 Corrosion protection
Materials were chosen with a high level of corrosion-resistance. Most of the materials
used in the Cruise are, as with most leisure maritime products, classed as “seawater
resistant”, not “seawater-proof”.
• After use, the motor should as a general rule, be taken out of the water.
You can do this using the tilt mechanism of the transom bracket.
• Rinse the motor with fresh water after operation in salt water or brackish
water.
• Only store the motor in a dry condition.
• Check the sacrificial anode regularly, at least every 6 months.
Replace as needed.
• Regularly spray cable contacts, data sockets, and data plugs with WD 40
or an equivalent product.
• The threads of the transom mounting bolts need to be relubricated regu-
larly with marine grease (e.g. LiquiMoly).
