Update BMS

INFORMATION HUB

This short procedure reuses existing service step pages. Edit the referenced step pages to update this procedure everywhere.

WARNING

Read Safety instructions before starting.

  • Remove the kill switch before starting any service procedure to prevent accidental motor start.
  • Disconnect the battery before starting any work on the interface, unless the update procedure specifically requires the battery connected.
  • Wear nitrile gloves when handling silicone/adhesive and when handling the interface during and after degreasing.
  • Do not cut deeper than 2-3 mm when cutting silicone around the interface. Use only plastic tools on the sealing surface.

IB-DIS-001 DISASSEMBLY STEP 1 - Cut silicone around interface

Tools:

Removing parts:

  • No parts removed in this step.

Procedure:

  1. Place the transom bracket and outboard on a stable holder.
  2. Cut under the interface to a depth of 2-3 mm around the interface edge.

CAUTION

Do not cut deeper than required. Cutting too deep can damage the interface, cables or sealing surface.

IB-DIS-004 DISASSEMBLY STEP 4 - Loosen interface

Tools:

Removing parts:

  • No parts removed in this step.

Procedure:

  1. Set the heat gun to 350°C and heat around the interface joint to soften the silicone.
  2. Move the interface removal tool left, right, up and down until the interface breaks free from the silicone.

CAUTION

Use only a plastic tool on the sealing surface. Metal tools can scratch the housing and cause leakage after assembly.

NOTE

The interface is not reusable once removed and must be replaced — see IB-DIS-005 DISASSEMBLY STEP 5 - Lift interface.

IB-DIS-005 DISASSEMBLY STEP 5 - Lift interface

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Removing parts:

Procedure:

  1. When the silicone is loosened, lift the interface by hand.
  2. Lift only far enough to access the connectors.

CAUTION

Do not pull the interface away from the housing before all connectors are disconnected.

IB-DIS-006 DISASSEMBLY STEP 6 - Disconnect interface connectors

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Removing parts:

  • No parts removed in this step.

Procedure:

  1. Carefully disconnect the connectors shown in the picture.
  2. Some connectors have a small locking tab — release it before pulling the connector apart.
  3. Support the connector bodies during removal. Do not pull on the wires.

Check

Inspect the exposed connectors for corrosion or damage before updating. The same interface is reinstalled after the update — it is not being replaced.

TODO

Add the approved BMS update procedure, required software/tool, connection method, update verification and acceptance criteria.

Reassembly

IB-ASM-008 ASSEMBLY STEP 8 - Connect interface cables

Tools:

Consumables:

Installing parts:

Procedure:

  1. Plug in the signal cable connectors. The connectors are keyed and cannot be mismatched.
  2. Plug in the charge connector.
  3. Ensure all connector lock tabs are fully engaged.
  4. Apply a small amount of silicone to the back of the signal connectors.

CAUTION

Do not apply silicone to connector contact surfaces.

IB-ASM-009 ASSEMBLY STEP 9 - Attach first bungee cord point

Tools:

Installing parts:

  • No parts installed in this step.

Procedure:

  1. Attach one side of the bungee cord to the tiller bolts.
  2. Keep the bungee cord ready for holding the interface after silicone application.

IB-ASM-010 ASSEMBLY STEP 10 - Clean sealing surfaces

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Consumables:

Procedure:

  1. Clean the sealing surface of the interface with isopropanol.
  2. Clean the sealing surface of the motor housing with isopropanol.
  3. Make sure both surfaces are dry before applying silicone.

CAUTION

Silicone must be applied only to clean and dry sealing surfaces.

IB-ASM-011 ASSEMBLY STEP 11 - Apply silicone to interface

Tools:

Consumables:

Procedure:

  1. Apply a continuous bead of silicone to the interface sealing surface.
  2. Make sure the silicone is applied around the full sealing perimeter.
  3. Avoid gaps in the silicone bead.

CAUTION

Missing silicone on the sealing perimeter can cause leakage.

IB-ASM-012 ASSEMBLY STEP 12 - Spread silicone on sealing surface

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Consumables:

  • Rubber gloves

Procedure:

  1. Put on rubber gloves.
  2. Spread the applied silicone evenly around the mating surface with a gloved finger.
  3. Keep the silicone layer continuous around the full perimeter.

IB-ASM-013 ASSEMBLY STEP 13 - Install interface

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Installing parts:

Procedure:

  1. Position the interface on the motor housing.
  2. Press the interface down firmly.
  3. Hold the interface in position until it is secured with the bungee cords.
  4. Check that a small amount of silicone squeezes out around the edge.

CAUTION

If no silicone squeezes out, remove the interface, clean the sealing surfaces and repeat the sealing procedure from assembly step 10.
