have it fixed by an expert.
* If the servo box is dry, restart the engine and relaunch the boat. Run it for 3 to 5 minutes at
half throttle to clear any remaining water out of the bearings, then resume normal running.
Step 15: After Running Your Boat
* At the end of the day's running, wash all over the boat with fresh water. Wash the hardware on
the back of the boat. Dry everything, and then spray all the hardware generously with WD40 or a
similar water displacing and lubricating product.
* If you have been running in salt water, you must flush the cooling system with fresh water. As
explained in Step 11, you can adapt a garden hose to provide a supply of fresh water while you
idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes.
* Hold the boat vertically with the bow up and allow any water or excess oil to drain out of the
exhaust system.
* Remove the flex shaft from the boat, dry it off and spray with WD40 or similar. Keep the shaft
out of the boat until you next run it this allows the inside of the stuffing tube to dry out.
Remember to regrease the shaft when preparing to next run the boat.
* Spray all over and around the engine and the exhaust system with WD40 or a similar product,
then carefully wipe everything down inside and outside the boat with a clean rag or towel.
* Remove the cover from the servo box and check that the inside is dry. Leave the cover off until
you next run the boat to avoid condensation forming and possibly damaging the electronics.
* Every couple of months, it is worth removing the engine and clutch from the boat and
thoroughly cleaning the interior of your hull as well as underneath the engine.
* The hull of your boat is finished with the highest quality automobile paints and the most
advanced painting technology available. In order to keep the clear coat shining and durable, you
should apply an automotive wax polish every time after you use the boat. This will also protect
against damage caused by fuel or other harmful chemicals.
