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.
