RE-GREASING THE DRIVE SHAFT:

1. You are going to need one 10mm open end wrench and

one 12mm open end wrench and some grease.

2. To loosen the cable coupler hold the 12mm wrench still

and turn the 10mm wrench counterclockwise. To tighten turn

the 10mm wrench clockwise.

3. Slide the shaft out from the back of the boat and re-grease.

Reinstall and retighten the cable.

TUNING TIPS

STRUT – The strut on your UL-1 can be adjusted up and

down as well as tilted. To adjust the strut you are going to

need to loosen the 4mm bolt that holds the strut in position.

When making a strut adjustments you only need to move it a

small amount at a time.

Lowering the strut helps stabilize the boat by lowering the

nose of the boat. However, doing so can slow the boat down.

Raising the strut has the opposite effect. Tilting the strut is

helpful to tune the hull to a particular propeller. If your prop

is causing the back of the boat to hop up and down (unhook)

try removing or lessening the drive angle. If the boat seems

pined (stuck to the water in the back) try adding some drive

angle. I like to adjust the strut to the point the back of the

boat just starts to hop and then move the strut back just a

small amount to stop it.

RUDDER – You can tilt the rudder fore and aft to change the

way the boat handles. The more you tuck the rudder under

the boat (negative angle), the tighter the boat runs on the

water. Tilting it back (positive angle) causes the back of the

boat to run looser. You don’t want to overdo it so just work

within the amount of movement provided by the bolts. Also

the more you tilt the rudder back the less aggressive the

steering becomes.
