COMPOSITE MOTOR SUPPORT AND DRIVE LEG The propeller must be at the center of the tunnel. The motor support and the drive leg will therefore not be centered in the tunnel.
Last update: February 2018 Manual CT25 Apply a thin coating of silicon grease or sealing compound to both sides of the gasket (this must be hydrocarbon and water resistant). Re-assemble all parts as before, position and then tighten the two 6mm screws alternatively using a 5mm Allen key (maximum torque: 12 Nm).
These values are given as an indication, assuming that the batteries are charged at 100% and in charge and charging voltage should be 13.8V. The performance data of the CT25 is measured with an approx. consumption of 250 Amps and approx. 11V at the motor’s connections.
Max Power advises the use of an electric battery isolator ref. 318400. If an electric battery isolator is not used then simply seal-off the two grey wires coming out of the control box.
