4. Before tightening the cable coupler, make sure to leave
a 4 or 5mm distance between the back of the strut and
the front of the drive dog. This will keep the drive system
from binding or breaking as the cable operates.
5. Tighten the cable coupler, reversing the direction of
the open end wrenches. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: The drive cable is supported by the brass stuffi ng tube
which has a low friction liner. The prop shaft (or “stub shaft”)
is hard-soldered to the fl exible drive cable and spins in a brass
bushing located in the back of the stuffi ng tube. The bushing
and low friction liner should be replaced when they start to
show wear. (AQUB7884 Prop Shaft Bushing SuperVee 27;

Grimracer Says: There are quite a
few things you can do to increase the
performance. One is spending time
optimizing and tuning the drive cable. Things like making
sure the drive cable is perfectly aligned with the cable
coupler as well as making sure the drive system does not
bind are the key to winning races. Keep this in mind as
you learn all about setup and tuning your new boat.
At the end of the day make sure to leave the cowl off the boat
overnight as well as the lid of the radio box. This will allow any
moisture that collected in the boat to safely evaporate.
