PRB08041 Recoil 2 26-inch - Manual

Instruction Manual

If water does not stream out of the right-side water outlet while the

boat is moving forward, immediately stop the boat and clean the

obstruction from the water-cooling system.

1. Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to remove

blockage and prevent overheating.

2. Replace any damaged parts.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the water cooling exit ports are securely

attached to the outside of the hull. Failure to inspect this can result

in excess water entering the hull.

CAUTION: Running a battery with less than 11.1V will not pro-

vide enough momentum to engage the water-cooling system

and will cause damage to the electronics due to excessive heat.

Water Cooling System

Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. This

process removes any water from the system, preventing corrosion

which leads to higher friction, lower performance, and a shorter prod-

uct lifespan. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water

from entering the hull through the stuffing tube.

Perform flex shaft maintenance after every boating session.

1. Power OFF the boat, and remove the battery.

2. Using two 10mm wrenches, loosen the flex shaft coupler.

3. Slide the flex shaft toward the rear of the boat.

4. Using a towel or paper towel, remove old lubricant and material.

5. Apply a liberal amount of lubrication to the flex shaft and spread it

around the entire shaft. Ensure enough lubrication is on the shaft

to prevent any dry areas.

NOTICE: When lubricating the flex shaft, do not lubricate the first

20mm of the flex shaft. If grease gets into the motor coupler,

it may cause the flex shaft to slip inside of the coupler, thereby

damaging it and requiring replacement.

6. Slide the flex shaft into the prop strut and stuffing tube. Rotate it

to spread the grease on the inside of the stuffing tube, ensuring

that there is a 1–2mm gap between the propeller strut and the

drive dog. This will allow space for the shaft as it shrinks under

load. Without space, the drive dog could damage the aluminum

propeller strut.

NOTICE: Ensure the flex shaft is installed correctly. Installing the

flex shaft incorrectly may result in irreparable damage to the boat.

7. Tighten the coupler using two 10mm wrenches.
