After Boating And Maintenance; Drivetrain Lubrication - Horizon Hobby PROBOAT IMPULSE 32 Manuel De L'utilisateur

After Boating and Maintenance

• After each use, remove the drain plug and hold the boat
upright to drain all water from inside the hull.
• Reinstall the drain plug.
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the
water cooling lines and jacket around the motor.
• Remove the hatch before storing your boat. We
recommend placing the boat upside down to allow the
water to continue to drain.
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat.
• Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of your
boat, including water and wind conditions.
NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave the
boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a
car. Doing so can damage the boat.

Drivetrain Lubrication

Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or
show visible wear or injury and damage may result.
Lubricating the flex 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 tube.
Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every 30
minutes of operation. Remove, clean, and lubricate the flex
shaft after every boating session.
1. In the hull, use two 10mm open-end wrenches to loosen
the collet nut from the flex shaft.
2. Slide the flex shaft out from the stuffing tube and drive
strut at the rear of the boat.
Tip: Use paper or cloth for cleaning and lubricating the flex
shaft and other drivetrain parts.
3. Wipe the old lubricant and material from the flex shaft.
4. Lubricate the full length of the flex shaft assembly up to
the drive dog using marine grease (PRB0101 or PRB0100).
Also apply grease to the collet threads.
5. Carefully reinstall the flex shaft in the drive strut, stuffing
tube and collet. If the flex shaft is difficult to remove or
install in the collet, use a flat screwdriver to spread the
grips of the collet.
Ensure there is a 1–2mm gap between the drive strut and
drive dog to allow for flex shaft shrinkage under load.
