How to Maintain Your Motor, Battery, and Accessories for Warranty Coverage

To keep your products covered under warranty and ensure longevity, proper maintenance is key. Here are a few general tips:

• Motor and Battery Care: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning, storage, and charging to avoid potential issues. Store your equipment in a dry and temperature-controlled environment when not in use. Keep original packaging safe and use for long-term storage.
• Accessory Care: Regularly check and clean your accessories, such as solar chargers and bags. Ensure that your chargers are used correctly, and always store your bags in a dry location to avoid damage from moisture.
• Protective Covers and Storage Solutions: Use protective covers when your outboard motor is not in use to shield it from harsh weather conditions or physical damage.
