3 Maintenance
Here are some guidelines for daily and periodic maintenance.
Only carry out all maintenance work with the motor stopped
and the electrical system switched off.
3.1 Protection against corrosion
Cathodic protection is necessary for the preservation of all metal
components below water level.
The E-POD housing has been fitted with a anode to protect it against
corrosion.
The following maintenance should be carried out during a slipway
service:
• Check the cathodic Protection and if necessary renew the anode;
art. code for the anode: VP000130.
• Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic cover (1).
• Remove the 3 Allen screws to replace the anode (2).
• Reinstall the plastic cover (1).
To avoid corrosion problems, absolutely no anti-fouling con-
taining copper oxide should be applied to the E-POD.
