Electronics Tray Removal
DCB M41 Widebody’s unique modular
design allows you to easily remove the
electronics tray, allowing easy access
to the hull interior and drive system.
With the electronics tray removed, you
can easily work on the drive system
or electronics without the hull taking
up your bench space. To remove the
electronics tray, follow these steps:
1. Remove the steering linkage. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to
unthread the 15mm screw in the servo arm and disengage the
steering linkage.
2. Unplug the water cooling outlet tube (A) and inlet tube (B).
3. Loosen the retaining screws. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to
loosen the screws approximately 5 full turns. It is not necessary to
remove these screws, only loosen them.
4. Gently lift the power module from the ESC end using the integrated handle. If it does not release easily from the hull liner, loosen the
retaining screws another turn.
5. Slide the radio tray forward. Gently pull on the module to slide the tabs out of the slots in the transom.
Motor Removal
DCB M41 Widebody’s design also allows for easy motor removal for
maintenance and/or replacement. To remove the motor, follow
these steps:
1. Remove the flex cable guard by pinching the housing together and
removing it from the hull liner.
2. Use the two 10mm wrenches supplied to loosen the motor coupler.
Grip the base and clamp. Rotate the parts away from each other in the direction shown to loosen the
clamp.
Note:
You do not have to fully unthread the coupler; it will take less than one full rotation to
loosen the clamp.
3. Remove the flex cable. Pull the propeller away from the drive strut. The cable will come out with
the propeller.
Note:
There is no need to remove the prop from the cable.
4. Disconnect the cooling lines from the water jacket and motor wires from the ESC.
5. Remove the two 10mm screws from the motor mount using the supplied 2.5mm wrench.
6. Rotate the motor mount assembly to the left side of the boat, slide rearward, and remove
from the hull.
7. Installation is the reverse of above steps.
