Service & Maintenance FAQs for EBM Series
EBM series is Electric outboard motor, which generally require less frequent servicing than gasoline engines. Routine maintenance is recommended every 6-12 months, depending on usage and manufacturer guidelines.
-
Inspect for wear and damage: Check the propeller, wiring, and connections for signs of wear or corrosion.
-
Clean the motor: Remove dirt and debris from the motor and cooling vents.
-
Battery care: Ensure the battery is fully charged and monitor for any damage or swelling.
-
Propeller maintenance: Remove fishing lines or debris tangled in the propeller and inspect for nicks or cracks.
-
-
Clean thoroughly: Rinse with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, or debris.
-
Dry completely: Ensure the motor is dry to prevent corrosion.
-
Disconnect the battery: Store it separately in a cool, dry place and charge it to about 50-70% capacity.
-
Use a protective cover: Store the motor in a clean, dry area to protect it from dust and moisture.
-
Electric motors typically have sealed components that do not require lubrication. However, consult your motor's manual for specific recommendations on propeller shaft lubrication or other moving parts.
-
Avoid overloading the motor or running it at full throttle for extended periods.
-
Keep the battery charged and avoid deep discharges.
-
Regularly inspect and maintain the motor and battery components.
-
Avoid exposing the motor to extreme temperatures or prolonged submersion in water.
-
-
Check the battery for proper charge and connections.
-
Inspect cables and terminals for corrosion or damage.
-
Ensure the kill switch is engaged and the motor's safety features are not preventing operation.
-
Refer to the troubleshooting section of your user manual or contact a certified technician if the issue persists.
-
-
Charging: Use the recommended charger and avoid overcharging.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and charge periodically to prevent depletion.
-
Inspection: Check for corrosion, swelling, or damage to terminals and cables.
-
-
Unusual noises or vibrations during operation.
-
Reduced performance or motor output.
-
Visible damage to the motor, wiring, or battery.
-
Persistent error codes or warning lights.
-
While basic maintenance can be done at home, repairs involving electrical components, wiring, or internal parts should be handled by certified professionals to ensure safety and prevent further damage.
Replacement parts can be purchased from Tardid directly or from Tardid approved authorized dealers, or certified service centers. Always use genuine parts to ensure compatibility and performance.
Avoid Physical Damage
-
Do not drop or puncture the battery: Physical impacts can damage internal components, leading to short circuits or thermal runaway.
-
Inspect for signs of damage: Look for bulging, cracks, or leaking fluids, and discontinue use if any damage is detected.
Handle with Proper Tools
-
Use insulated tools: When connecting or disconnecting terminals, use tools specifically designed for high-power battery systems.
-
Avoid short circuits: Never place conductive objects (e.g., wrenches, screws) near the battery terminals.
Follow Charging Guidelines
-
Use the recommended charger: Always use a charger compatible with the battery's voltage and current specifications.
-
Monitor during charging: Avoid leaving the battery unattended during charging and stop if it overheats or shows abnormal behavior.
-
Prevent overcharging: Overcharging can cause overheating, leading to a fire risk.
Handle with Proper Tools
-
Temperature control: Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
-
Keep away from flammable materials: Batteries can ignite under certain conditions, so avoid storing them near combustible items.
-
Partial charge: For long-term storage, maintain a charge level of 50-70%.
Wear Protective Gear
-
Use safety equipment: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing when handling batteries, especially in repair or maintenance tasks.
-
Protect against chemical exposure: In case of a leak, avoid direct contact with the electrolyte, which is often corrosive.
Dispose of Batteries Properly
-
Follow regulations: Dispose of or recycle batteries according to local environmental guidelines.
-
Avoid landfill disposal: High-power batteries contain hazardous materials that can harm the environment.
Seek Professional Help When Unsure
-
For repairs or issues: Do not attempt to disassemble or repair high-power batteries unless trained and certified to do so.
-
Regular inspections: Have the battery inspected periodically by a qualified technician.

EBM series is significantly easier and simpler to repair compared to internal combustion (IC) outboard motors due to it's streamlined design and fewer moving parts. Unlike IC motors, which have intricate systems such as fuel injectors, pistons, exhaust systems, and cooling mechanisms, EBM operate with components like a rotor, stator, controller, and battery. This simplicity reduces the likelihood of mechanical failure and makes troubleshooting straightforward.
