The Pro Boat™ BlackJack 26 should provide many
hours of exciting high-speed racing fun with just
minor maintenance. Preventative maintenance is
very important. Taking the time to ensure that
all the setscrews and bolts are tight before each
operation of the boat will prevent many problems.

Before operating BlackJack 26

Check that all screws and hardware are securely in
place. This is very important, as the manifold screws
will occasionally vibrate loose during the first initial
runs.

Check the propeller for damage in the form of
chipping or cracking. If you find any damage,
replace the propeller, as the damage will effect
the performance of the boat and could also cause
safety concerns.

When refueling, always wipe away any excess fuel
that may have spilled into or on the boat.

After operating the BlackJack 26

Wipe off any exhaust residue from the boat. If
you operate the BlackJack 26 in salt water, it is
suggested that you thoroughly rinse the deck, hull,
and all the metal hardware with fresh water, then
dry them with a clean towel. After cleaning, coat all
metal parts with a silicone spray lubricant. This will
help to prevent corrosion.

Ensure that the radio box and equipment
inside is dry.

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate the
flex shaft of the BlackJack 26 with
waterproof cable grease after every
two hours of operation.

You can purchase this waterproof grease at your
local hobby or automotive parts store. To lubricate
the drive shaft, follow these simple instructions.
