Blackjack 29

Prop Angle Adjustment

Raising the prop strut increases speed, but also 

decreases steering response and increases cavitation.
Lowering the drive strut increases steering response, but 

also increases steering sensitivity and decreases speed.

1. 

Loosen 2 bolts and 2 nuts from the drive strut on the 

rear of the boat. 

2. 

Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of the 

propeller in relation to the hull. 

3. 

Adjust as desired and tighten the nuts and bolts. 

Drivetrain Lubrication

Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are 

damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may 

result.
Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the 

drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping 

water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube. 
Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every 

30 minutes of operation. Lubricate the drive strut after 

every 90 minutes of operation.

1. 

In the hull, use 2 10mm open-end wrenches to loosen 

the collet nut from the flex shaft.

2. 

Slide the flex shaft out from the stuffing tube and 

drive strut at the rear of the boat. 

Tip:

 Use paper or cloth to touch the flex shaft and other 

lubricated parts. 

3. 

Wipe the old lubricant and material from the flex 

shaft.

4. 

Lubricate the full length of the flex shaft assembly 

up to the drive dog using marine grease (PRB0101 or 

PRB0100). Also apply grease to the collet threads. 

5. 

Carefully reinstall the flex shaft in the drive strut, 

stuffing tube and collet. If the flex shaft is difficult to 

remove or install in the collet, use a flat screwdriver to 

spread the grips of the collet.

Ensure there is a 1–2mm gap between the drive strut and 

drive dog to allow for flex shaft shrinkage under load.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE:

 Running the boat in saltwater could cause some 

parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse it 

thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the 

drive system.

NOTICE: 

Because of its corrosive effects, running RC 

boats in saltwater is at the discretion of the modeler.
