The motor is compatible with 12V deep-cycle batteries; ensure the terminal connections are clean and tightly fastened before operation. To maintain the longevity of the unit, rinse the motor thoroughly with fresh water after every excursion in salt water to prevent mineral buildup. Periodically inspect the propeller for debris such as fishing line or weeds that might impede rotation. Store the motor in a dry location during the off-season to preserve the electrical components.
