Sand or Grit on Seal
Sand or grit is the enemy of seals. Correct maintenance
and care is essential. To remove sand or grit from the seal,
rinse the seal 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
Be sure to keep the seal 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.
6. Slide the Propeller off the shaft, taking care not to loose
the drive pin or washers.
7. Remove the blockage from the Propeller.
8. Replace the drive pin (if removed), see fig. 13, and
Propeller. Turn the Propeller slowly until you locate the
pin and push the Propeller fully on.
