MAINTENANCE
1. It is important to remove and lubricate the drive cable
after a day of running. Make sure the power to the boat is
turned off and the battery pack is unplugged. To lubricate
the cable you will need:
• 1.5mm Allen wrench
•
GrimRacer Cable Grease (AQUB9500)
•
Paper
Towel
2. Using a 1.5mm Allen wrench, loosen the set screws
holding the drive cable to the motor coupler. It is important
to note that there are two set screws holding the cable
in position.
3. Slip the cable out the back of the boat. Wipe off any
grease and water that might be on the cable.
4. Using GrimRacer speed grease, apply a small amount to
the cable and slide the cable back into the boat. Be careful
to align the cable to the hole in the end of the motor coupler.
5. Leave about 1/16” [2mm] gap between the front of the drive
dog and the back of the shaft tube.
6. Tighten the set screws to hold the cable in place. Do not
over tighten the set screws. It is also a good idea to tighten
one screw lightly and then the other. Go back and forth
between screws to keep even tension on the drive cable.
