3
Move the motor from the stowed to the deployed position and
back a number of times to distribute the lubricant.
4
If necessary, apply additional lubricant and repeat the
previous step.
Servicing the Anodes
The anodes protect the motor components from corrosion, and
each season they must be examined and cleaned or replaced if
necessary.
1
Using a
9
/
16
in (15 mm) socket, loosen the nut on the end of
the propeller.
2
Remove the nut, lock washer, flat washer, and anode .
3
Examine the anode, and complete an action:
• If the anode is more than half of the original size, clean the
anode using a wire brush or sandpaper.
• If the anode is less than half of the original size, discard
the anode and purchase a replacement.
4
Place the cleaned or new anode on the propeller shaft, and
secure the propeller with the lock washer, flat washer, and
nut.
5
Using a
9
/
16
in (15 mm) socket, tighten the nut to 8.13 N-m
(6 lbf-ft).
6
Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the skeg from the
bottom of the motor.
7
Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the screw that
secures the transducer and nose cone to the bottom of the
motor .
8
Using a 4 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the screws to
disconnect the nose cone from the front of the motor.
9
Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, remove the screw and
anode on the front of the motor.
10
Examine the anode, and complete an action:
• If the anode is more than half of the original size, clean the
anode using a wire brush or sandpaper.
• If the anode is less than half of the original size, discard
the anode and purchase a replacement.
11
Place the cleaned or new anode on the screw and secure it
to the motor.
12
Secure the nose cone to the front of the motor.
13
Install the screw that secures the transducer and nose cone
to the bottom of the motor.
14
Install the skeg on the bottom of the motor.
Checking and Cleaning the Power Terminals
1
With the motor in the deployed position, pull the rubber
shields away from the positive and negative power terminals
.
2
If necessary, clean any corrosion from the terminals using a
wire brush.
NOTE:
In cases of heavy corrosion, you may need to remove
the power cables for an effective cleaning (
Power Cable from the Steering Servo Housing
).
3
Cover the connections with dielectric grease.
4
Securely place the rubber shields back over the power
terminals.
Checking and Replacing the Mount Rails
The rails protect the propeller drive motor and the mount from
impact when stowing the motor, and may become worn over
time. If the rails are damaged or worn and the mount base is
visible through them, you must replace them.
1
With the motor in the stowed position, examine the rails for
wear and damage.
