NMFC 125755 - Outboard Electric Motors | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging that matches the shaft length: use sturdy crates for long-shaft outboards and double-wall boxes with molded foam for compact trolling motors (Packages 161, 171, 217, 2480, or 2502).
2. Prep the motor before packing: remove the prop, bag and tie off control cables and battery leads, cap shaft splines, and immobilize the motor head to prevent rotational shock.
3. Palletize when possible: band boxed or crated motors to a pallet, allow forklift clearance, and mark orientation (This Side Up) to protect seals and gear housings.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 125755 – Outboard Electric Motors – Class 150 – Non-Haz,” and skip density inputs since this item ships at a fixed class.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
