During installation, ensure the transom bracket is securely tightened to the boat's mount. Maintenance is straightforward: after saltwater use, rinse the entire unit with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization on the shaft and joints. Regularly check the propeller for debris such as fishing line or weeds that may cause drag or motor strain. Store the unit in a dry environment during the off-season to protect the internal electronics.
