By the way I forgot to tell you if you want your push rod for the rudder to be SS go to a bike shop and buy SS spokes it should be th same size as the stock one the threads match just bend and cut much stronger too.

Flex shaft

I m getting ready to take out the flex shaft on my sv 27 for the first time & re lube it & i have a couple of ?'s. There is only about 1mm - 2mm of spacing between the stuffing tube & collet . Is it okay to cut a liitle of the stuffing tube so it will be eaiser to re-insert the flex shaft back into the collet ?.

Motor Mount

I don't see why not. If you haven't already got everything centered you should be ok. I changed my motor mount so i didn't have to deal with those small nuts too much work when your all ways tuning your boat.

I'm not running water through it as it was a little restricted.
But the mount works great with out it.

Strut Bushing

Sorry forgot to tell you only lube cable at strut end not the cable end causes a lot of drag. I had to put a drop of CA on strut bushing just at the end keeps the bushing from spinning in stuffing tube only takes a drop and lube the part that has the holes in it works great and low drag. Also remove blue stinger first you don't want any glue on there.

You want to lube the entire shaft on these. The lube not only lubricates the shaft, stuffing tube. But it also acts as a barrier to prevent water intrusion up the tube shaft. Not to mention, it minimizes rust. The amount of drag lube causes is negligible.
Dragboat Boat did some tests a while back on various lubes.

Well the mantanice has been done & i installed a cf 45 prop. I just ran the boat with the new prop the temp went up . After a full pack my motor was 145 at the endbell & 115 on the motor jacket & the lipo's were 108 . Is that still okay ?.

How long was your run, and how much did you put back into your packs?

Yes i did. Those temp are with the CF45 prop & not the stock prop. with the stock prop the temps are great .

[Brushless55]

well your temps are ok, but when I run a CF45 and CF48 my motor temps only get to 105* and 115*, esc is 95* and batteries are 90-95*

I wonder if im running it to wet & thats why my temps are a little higher .

[Brushless55]

Yes that could be the very reason..
