TAKE THESE STEPS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR BOAT FROM LONG TERM STORAGE:
1. Remove the battery pack from the boat.
2. Open the boat hatch for a couple days to a week to allow the moisture to evaporate.
Replace the cover and hatch to keep dust out once the moisture has evaporated.
3 Remove the propeller to prevent injuries and to keep the propeller in good condition
Dings and scratches will diminish the performance of your boat. Keep the propeller in a safe and secure
place to ensure maximum performance in the water.
4. Place the boat in a safe place to prevent any accidental damage to the plastic hull. Chips, dings and
scratches will weaken the integrity of the hull and may lead to a failure while in use.
1. Remove the propeller to prevent injuries and/or property damage.
2. Remove the battery from the hull.
3. After a day on the water, remove any water from inside the hull.
4. Be sure to place the boat in a safe and secure place to prevent any damage to the hull and runnning gear.
BOAT MAINTENANCE
DRIVE LINE
1. Remove the prop.
2. Loosen the motor coupler set screws for the flex cable.
3. Slide the flex cable out of the drive.
4. Lubricate the flex cable with marine grease.
5. Lubricate the drive bushing with a light oil for bearings.
6. Reassemble the drive and wipe away any excess grease and oil.
HULL
1. The hull requires very little maintenance, but must be kept in good condition in order to perform as expected and to
ensure safe operation.
2. Look closely at the exterior surfaces of the hull.
3. Check for damage, chips, cracks and scratches.
4. Determine if damage has weakened the plastic hull and take the appropriate action to fix the damage. Scratches
and hair line cracks are common and typically do not require any attention.
HARDWARE
1. Radio control boats experience high frequency vibrations and as a result the screws, nuts and bolts will become
loose.
2. Check all the motor hardware and motor mounts.
3. Check running gear, hardware, rudder, drive, steering linkage, water-cooling system, etc.
4. Use Thread Lock on all metal-to-metal hardware contacts.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE BOAT HAS BEEN SUBMERGED
1. Remove the motor and lubricate the bearings on the motors.
2. Remove the electronics.
3. Dry out the interior.
4. The servo, receiver and battery pack will need to be dried out and checked for proper operation before they are
used again.
5. Test the battery pack under load to make sure it is ok to continue regular use.

Grease to lubricate the flex
cable.
