TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Solution
Motor fails to
run or lacks
power
Check motor for obstructions. The
motor may have gone into current
limit. To reset: return to off position,
remove obstruction and resume
operation.
Check battery connections for
proper polarity.
Make sure terminals are clean and
corrosion free. Use fine sandpaper
or emery cloth to clean terminals.
Check battery water level. Add water
if needed.
Motor looses
power after a
short running
time
Check battery charge, if low, restore
to full charge.
Motor is hard
to steer
Loosen the steering tension knob on
the back of bracket.
Lubricate the composite shaft.
Your
experience
prop vibration
during normal
operation
Remove and rotate the prop 180º.
See removal instructions in prop
section.
If these solutions do not solve the problem contact your
authorised service dealer.
■ Install prop washer and prop nut.
■ Tighten prop nut 1/4 turn past snub. (25-35 inch lbs.)
IMPORTANT
If the prop nut is overtightened it may cause damage
to the prop or cause too much pressure/strain on the
motor which may cause overheating or premature
battery drain.
CAUTION
Disconnect the motor from the battery before beginning
any prop work or maintenance.
MAINTENANCE
■ After use, these units should be rinsed with fresh
water, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with
an aqueous based silicone spray.
■ The propeller must be cleaned of weeds and fishing
line. The line can get behind the prop, wear away the
seals and allow water to enter the motor. Check this
after every 20 hours of operation.
■ Before each use, check to see that the prop nut is
secure.
■ To prevent accidental damage during trailering or
storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor
is off of the water. For prolonged storage, lightly coat
all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.
■ For maximum performance, restore battery to full
charge before each use.
■ Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or
emery cloth.
■ The weedless wedge propeller is designed to provide
absolute weed free operation with very high efficiency.
To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of
the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or
nicked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with
fine sandpaper.
NOTE:
Replace propeller if unable to repair.
