Lift Efoil motor/propellor making noise - whats wrong?

Hi All,

Lift Efoil Propulsion unit makes noise… Anyone know what can be the problem? Bearings?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Eric

Yes bearings your going to have to change them soon as you cause damage to motor

Thanks for the info. Will try to replace them asap

Can u throw any intell up about bearing changes on the lift motor please? I have a motor that works fine but the shaft can be pulled out back and forth around 1cm.
I can seem to get the motor open- its pressed in. Im almost positive that a retaining clip broke or wasn’t installed correctly.

Bought this Efoil from Eric last year with the bearing problem, used the foil a couple of times and now it was time to disassemble the engine, found that both bearings were broken and no oil inside, armature still in OK condition. ordered knew bearings and seals, waiting for them to be delivered.

Woah that looks terrible. Is it burned?
That will need a good cleaning.
Where did you order the right bearings and seals?
