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.
