I recently purchased the new Torqeedo Travel Ultralight. I noticed one issue, which is explained in the operators manual and could cause frustration. The connection between the motor and the battery is fully waterproof. The manual states that any liquid (water, WD-40, etc.) will cause a stiff connection that will not allow the plug to fully seat into the socket. It happened to me after spraying down the plug and socket with WD-40 several days before attempting to make the connection again for testing. No amount of shaking either the plug or the battery cleared the WD-40 from the connectors. I had to clear out the liquid using compressed air to make the connection. This leads me to think that a small can of compressed air will be needed in my toolbag to clear out the WD-40 if I fail to do so before leaving home.
