Re: [electricboats] ME1115 DSP Encoder Fault 0x52C1

Mine failed because of Lightning, good idea to keep a few spares handy.

Hi Thiery,

The motor is installed inside the cabin of a catalina 30 that is moored in salt water. The motor has been installed for about three years, however, this problem began to surface after a year. It had gotten worse though, i.e. less likely to not fault in the last month.

Hello Ryan,
I guess the environment is salty.

How long has the motor been installed?

It seems to me that the cover does not have a seal...

Moisture can also penetrate the bearing of the rotor shaft, normal since the ME1115 is an open frame motor!
