Lubrication Points; Battery Inspection - Mercury X3-40 Manual

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.

Lubrication Points

NOTE: Preferred lubricants can be obtained at any authorized MotorGuide or
Mercury Marine service center.
To reduce friction and quiet squeaks, lubricate the specified locations
periodically with the following lubricants:
• Bracket door knob threads ‑ 2‑4‑C with PTFE
• Latch pin hooks ‑ 2‑4‑C with PTFE
• Latch pins ‑ 2‑4‑C with PTFE
• Pivot pins ‑ 4‑Stroke 10W‑30 Outboard Oil
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow any lubricant to contact the column sleeves in the
door bracket halves as trolling motor steering tension will be affected.
