Before and at the end of each run, make sure that

all screws are tight and that the propeller is free

from any entanglement.
If you have any questions concerning the setup

or running of the Volere, please contact the

appropriate Horizon Product Support department.
Lubricating the driveshaft is vital to the life of the

drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal,

keeping water from entering the hull through the

stuffi ng box.

 1. Remove the front seat from the cockpit

by tipping it rearward and lifting it from

the cockpit. The seat is held in position by

magnets.

 2. An oiling port has been installed on the

stuffi ng box for lubricating the driveshaft. Fill

the oil port with a light oil (available at any

hardware store) prior to operation.

After each day of operation, remove the driveshaft

to clean and remove debris.

 1. Remove the 1.5mm setscrew on the motor

coupler.

 2. Use a .050 hex wrench or a small piece of

music wire to remove the nut securing the

propeller. Remove the propeller and hardware

from the driveshaft.

 3. Slide the driveshaft out of the boat from the

rear. Move the rudder slightly to clear the

driveshaft.
