10 Maintenance
10.1 Notes
Regular maintenance is beneficial to keep your outboard working in optimal condi-
tion.
Do not start the outboard in shallow or unknown water conditions. Only use the out-
board in deep water area.
In order to clean and reduce corrosion, use fresh water to wash the whole outboard
after use in salt water.
Regularly check whether the propeller is damaged, whether there is a fishing line
entangled. The motor is out of warranty due to the fishing line causing water to
enter the motor.
Disconnect the battery from outboard before maintenance.
Conduct the maintenance under instructions of professional experts or your
dealer.
Only use ePropulsion original components for replacement and maintenance.
10.2 Propeller Maintenance
Ensure the battery is disconnected before each check, as a rotating propeller is
dangerous.
Gloves are recommended to wear, in order to protect your hand from the sharp
propeller edges.
Check the propeller based on the following tips, then refer to the figure 12-1 to replace
a new propeller if necessary.
1. Check the propeller blades for wear broken and other damage.
2. Check the pin for wear and damage.
3. Check for water plants, fishing net or line twine around the propeller.
