STORAGE PREPARATION
The major consideration in preparing the trolling motor for storage is to
protect it from corrosion and damage caused by freezing of trapped
water.
Complete the appropriate care instructions to prepare the trolling motor
for storage. Store the trolling motor in a dry location where it will not be
affected by temperatures below ‑29 °C (‑20 °F).
IMPORTANT: Trolling motors stored in temperatures below 0 °C
(32 °F) should be operated slowly for a minimum of 15 minutes before
going above 30% operation.
Lubricating the Pivot Points
To reduce friction, lubricate the following pivot points periodically:
• Pivot pin
• Latch pin
• Tilt positioning pin/lever
• Tilt positioning pin/lever spring
IMPORTANT: Never use an aerosol lubricant to grease or oil any part
of the unit. Many aerosol lubricants contain harmful propellants that can
cause damage to various parts of the trolling motor.
