     Tip: The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water. To
     dry them, press on them with a dry cloth.
     Rudder Service
     1. Disconnect the water tube from the rudder.
     2. Remove the linkage from the rudder arm with Ball
        Link Pliers.
     3. Turn the rudder and loosen the set screw from
        the rudder pin.
     4. Turn over the boat and lightly tap the rudder to
        remove the pin.
     5. Assemble in reverse order.
     Propeller Service
     1. Use an 7mm nut driver (DYN2804) to loosen
        the nut from the driveshaft.
     2. Remove the nut and propeller from the
        driveshaft.
     3. Assemble in reverse order. Correctly align the
        propeller with the drive dog on the driveshaft.

Lubricate the flex shaft, propeller strut and all moving
parts after 30 minutes of operation.
1. In the hull, use a 10mm open-end wrench 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 when handling the flex shaft
 and other lubricated 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.
