Instruction Manual
Maintenance
Lubricate all moving parts with a light household oil
after each boating session to prevent binding and
corrosion.
Always replace the driveshaft when it is damaged or
shows visible wear or injury and 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
drive system.
Lubricate the 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 setscrew from the driveshaft and
remove the driveshaft from the drive system.
2. Remove lubricant and material from the shaft
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Apply
a thin coat of marine grease (PRB0101 or
PRB0100) to the full length of the shaft up to the
impeller fan.
Tip: Use paper or cloth to touch the
driveshaft.
3. Carefully reinstall the drive shaft and assemble
the drive system.
4. Apply temporary threadlock to the coupling
setscrew. Threadlock will help prevent the
driveshaft from loosening during use.
NOTICE: Running the decoy in salt water could
cause some parts to corrode. If you run the
decoy in salt water, remove all water from the
decoy, rinse it completely with fresh water and
lubricate the drive system after each use.
NOTICE: Because of its corrosive effects,
running this product in saltwater is at the
discretion of the modeler.
When you are Finished
1. Power off the ESC.
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Remove the battery from
the decoy.
Tip: Always store the decoy
open (without the hatch sealed)
or moisture may allow mold
and mildew to grow.
Use a sponge, paper towel or
cloth to remove water from
inside the hull.
