How to Keep Your Electric Trolling Motor in Tip-Top Condition
SHARE

When it comes to fishing, electric trolling motors are quickly becoming the gold standard to beat, and with good reason. They’re quiet enough to help you avoid spooking skittish quarry, not to mention better for the beautiful environments where you love spending so much time.

Electric motors are fairly low-maintenance, as well. But it’s important to understand that low-maintenance and no-maintenance are far from the same thing. Here’s a closer look at how to maintain yours so that it’s with you for many years to come.

Employ proper storage practices

If you’re like many fishing enthusiasts, you likely stick to a specific fishing schedule instead of going out on the water year-round. That said, it’s important to give some thought to how you store your motor, especially during the off-season.

Before putting your motor away for any extended period, be sure to disconnect the batteries. (Batteries should always be stored separately.) Add a protective covering for both the motor and the batteries before storing them in a safe, cool, dry place.

Keep your motor clean

Cleanliness is a major factor in the longevity of an electric trolling motor. However, many people simply don’t realize this, understand how to do it properly or think about it very often.

Ideally, you should rinse your motor free of salt, dirt, weeds, and debris after every single use. And it’s important to be thorough, as well. Be sure to inspect and clean not only the motor housing but also the impeller and other parts before calling a cleaning session done.

Have your motor serviced regularly

Much like the engine in your car, your boat’s trolling motor should receive regular professional service if you’re serious about keeping it running well. Have this done annually, whether you think your motor needs it or not.

It’s also important to address issues like repairs and part replacements promptly. If you’ll be replacing a part yourself, make sure you obtain parts designed specifically for your exact brand and type of motor.

For example, if you own a Minn Kota trolling motor, don’t settle for less than genuine Minn Kota trolling motor parts. Expect the same standard from any service people you hire to take care of the job for you.

Lubricate the moving parts

Motors and engines are filled with moving parts that require adequate lubrication to function properly, and your trolling motor is no different. Keep a high-quality motor lubricant on hand and incorporate using it into your regular maintenance routine.

Be sure to consult your owner’s manual for manufacturer-recommended instructions on which parts you should tend to and how often. Every make and model is a bit different.

At the end of the day, even the best trolling motor is only going to be as good as its owner’s maintenance routine, so it’s crucial to make sure yours is on point. Set a routine, as well as a maintenance schedule, and stick to both religiously. Your motor will thank you for it!
