    Newbe...

    I just got started with Electric Racing Boats. I purchased a Harbor Freight Electric Racing Boats and I am very pleased with the performance. I think it is a great boat for a beginner. The only problem is, I have noticed that a small amount of water is inside the hull after running it for a while. I appears that the water is coming in one of the shafts. My brother-in-laws has the same boat and his stays dry inside. Is this normal or how do I correct it? Thanks.......

    Welcome to OSE.
    Pics would help but I think if you pull the shafts and grease the tubes, it will make a difference.

      Thanks.....I pulled the shafts there was no grease in either shaft. I greased the tubes and it solved my problem.
      It did not effect the performance of the boat.
