7. Storage and care instructions
7.1 Corrosion protection, care, maintenance
After use in salt or brackish water rinse the motor with fresh water.
Please spray the contacts about every 2 months with contact spray (e.g. Liquid Evolution Wet Protect
Nautic).
As a result of the selected materials (high quality aluminum, austenitic stainless steel) and the electrical
separation of different materials under the water surface, a sacrificial node is not required even when
operating in salt water.
The surfaces of the Travel motor can be cleaned with normal, commercial detergents.
The plastic surfaces can be treated with cockpit spray.
Except when charging the charging socket must always be covered. To do so please use the flap provided.
After 5 years of operation the shaft sealing ring must be exchanged. Please contact an authorized service
center for this.
When carrying out service and maintenance work on the motor, always remove the
motor‘s plug connector to prevent the motor from starting up accidentally.
7.2 Caring for the battery
You extend the lifespan of your battery if you do not expose it to hot environments for longer than
necessary. A cool ambient temperature is especially important if you store the battery for longer periods
of time.
Comply with the following rules if you are storing your battery for a longer period of time. Storage for
around six months: Charging level when stored 50 %. Storage for a whole year: Charging level when
stored 100 %. If the battery is to be stored for several years the charging level should be checked once a
year in order to prevent the battery from deep discharging.
7.3 Changing the propeller
1. Disconnect the motor cable from the battery.
2. Use a socket wrench, metric socket size 17 (11/16“ for the US), to unscrew the self- locking hexagonal
nut on the propeller. Hold the propeller with protective gloves (risk of injury).
3. Remove the propeller and the outer washer from the
motor shaft.
4. Pull the cylindrical pin out of the motor shaft and remove the inner washer from the motor shaft.
