Motor Care
!
!
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent
turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in rough water or vegetation and boating
continuously at high speed.
!
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect
the motor from pushing against heavy resistance.
!
!
!
When you Finish
!
!
1. Power off the ESC.
!
2. Disconnect the battery.
!
3. Power off the transmitter.
!
4. Remove the battery from the boat.
!
!
Tip:
Always store the boat open (without the hatch and inner liner sealed) or moisture may allow
mold and mildew to grow in the boat.

Maintenance
!
!
Always replace the shaft when it is damaged or shows visible wear or injury and property damage
may result.
!
!
Lubricating the 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 box.
!
!
Lubricate the shaft, propeller shaft and all moving parts
after every 2–3 hours of operation. Always replace any
parts that show visible wear or damage.
!
!
1. Loosen the coupling between the motor and the
shaft.
!
2. Loosen the setscrew from the shaft and remove
the shaft from the back of the boat.
!
!
Tip:
Use paper or cloth to touch the shaft.
!
!
3. Remove the drive shaft by sliding it out of the
stuffing box. Wipe lubricant and material from the
shaft. Lubricate the full length of
!
the shaft assembly up to the drive
!
dog using marine grease.
