HOW TO REPLACE THE PROPELLER
Replace the propeller
1 Hold the propeller blade and loosen the propeller nut using
prop wrench or a set of needlenose pliers. Remove the
propeller nut. Pull the propeller straight off. If prop is stuck,
grasp one blade with one hand and tap on the back side of
the opposite blade lightly with a rubber mallet. If necessary,
repeat the procedure on all blades until the propeller comes
off. If the propeller pin is bent, replace it. Align the new
propeller with the propeller pin. Reinstall the propeller nut
and tighten firmly. Tighten with needlenose pliers another
1/4 turn.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
The warranty on this motor/mount does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
motor/mount as instructed in this manual.
1. Check behind the propeller after each day of fishing for
weeds, fishing line or other debris that may get wrapped
behind the propeller.
2. Occasionally, lubricate all the pivot points with a non aerosol
lubricant. Never use an aerosol lubricant to grease or oil any
part of your unit. Many spray lubricants contain harmful
propellants that can cause damage to various parts of your
fishing motor.
3. Check tightness of the battery lead connections.
4. Make periodic inspection for loose or corroded wiring
connections.
5. Always thoroughly rinse your electric fishing motor with fresh
water after use in salt water.
6. Periodically make a visual inspection for tightness of all nuts,
bolts and screws.
Battery
Recharge batteries after each use. Follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations for battery maintenance.
Freezing Temperature Storage
During freezing temperature, when your electric motor is not
being used, it should be stored in an area where it will not
freeze.
For SW Model Only
Sacrificial Anode Kit
Part Number: MGA035
Corrosion on the metal components of the trolling motor occur
when two or more dissimilar metals are brought into electrical
contact under water. By using a sacrifical anode, all the other
metals on the trolling motor become the cathodes. The result is
that the anode will corrode and the trolling motor will not.
Maintenance: if the anode becomes too corroded, it should be
replaced.
