Maintenance
After Every Use
1. Check the propeller and remove any plants, fishing line or other debris after
each use.
2. Lubricate the pivot points with a non-aerosol lubricant. Spray lubricants may
contain components that are harmful to various parts of the trolling motor.
3. Check all battery connections for tightness.
4. Check condition of all battery cables and replace if necessary.
5. Thoroughly wash the trolling motor propeller and shaft and components that
have come into contact with salt water. Avoid getting the top and handle of the
trolling motor wet.
6. Recharge batteries for next use.
7. Store the trolling motor in an area constantly above freezing temperature.
Replacing the Propeller
1. Disconnect the trolling motor from the battery.
2. Hold the propeller blade with one hand and using the spanner included or
needle nose pliers remove the propeller nut (see Figure 1).
3. Pull the propeller straight forward and off of the shaft (see Figure 2). Tap the
backside of the propeller with a rubber mallet to loosen if necessary. Replace
the propeller pin if bent (see Figure 3). Align the new propeller with the shaft and
reinstall propeller nut by hand, then 1/4 turn with pliers or spanner. Do not over-
tighten the propeller nut.
Do not strike the propeller pin with a hammer to remove it.
Damage to the trolling motor shaft may occur.
