Use a marker! Don't scratch off the paint...especially for a motor used in salt water

Two years later this motor is going strong https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf  Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

Brand new terrova was noisy out of the box.   I'm so glad I came across this video, adjusted it and it's much quieter.

great tip man, ive know this for years but explaining it over forums and trying to get point across is hard. thanks for taking the time.

Great video, I just adjusted mine after watching this and it worked perfectly.

Gonna go tune mine here shortly.
Thanks for the info Michael!

Awesome tip! Thanks!

Thank for the video! Never knew why my motor was loud and vibrated like crazy until I saw this.

Thanks Mike. Mine had gotten very sluggish and recently very loud. After performing this procedure, it's now quiet again. Haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm pretty sure the pep will be back.

Great DIY tip. Thanks for the info.

Great tip....never been told about this

Hey thanks i needed that,good video!!!

Michael,

Thanks...that was a great tip! I Enjoyed the video too!

That's a great tip. I'm a little embarrassed I had not considered this before. Never even thought about it. So thank you.

Michael well done on the video and thanks for the tip..... Who knew????


Wish I'd seen it four years ago (lol)

HOT TIP" THANX ALOT from Idaho!

Thanks man! We can only use trollers on our lake and mine were noisy and slow. Now they work like new after using your tune up! I guess I should quit driving into rocks and snags huh!? :) That and I got bout 20 yards of braid out from under my prop!
