Propeller Strut Depth Adjustment
Raising the propeller strut increases speed but
decreases handling.
Lowering the propeller strut increases stability but
decreases speed.
1. Use a 3 mm hex driver and 7mm open-end wrench
to loosen the propeller strut bolt.
2. Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of
the propeller in relation to the hull.
3. Once desired strut depth is achieved, 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 propeller strut after every 30
minutes of operation.
1. Inside 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.
Tip:
Use motor spray (DYN5500) to break down the
grease buildup.
4. Lubricate the full length of the flex shaft assembly
up to the drive dog using Pro Boat Marine Grease
(DYNE4200). 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 from (or install into) the collet, rotate the flex
shaft to the right while pulling it from (or inserting it
into) the collet.
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the flex shaft to the left inside
the coupler.
Ensure there is a 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.
