MAINTENANCE

If properly rigged and maintained the DragonForce65 will
be a very 'dry' boat. This is a very good thing as water and
electrics are not the best of friends!
There are some essential steps you need to take to keep
your boat working as it should, these are:
- The bearings in the top and bottom of the Gooseneck
should be washed in clean, fresh water after every
outing if you sail in saltwater.
- Regularily lubricate the bearings with bearing lube or
any similar product.
- Wash the whole boat and rig with clean, fresh water
after every outing if you sail in saltwater.
- Open the Hatch Cover and allow the inside of the boat
to completely dry out after sailing. Do not store the boat
with either water or condensation inside the hull, it will
lead to electrical failure through corrosion or 'black wire'
failure.
- Dyneema cord can shrink in certain conditions. So
check often that all your rig settings remain correct.
- Handle and store the Sails with great care. Don't leave
them flapping whilst your boat sits on its stand, lay
the boat down on a soft surface with the rig downwind
of the hull. When not in use keep the rigs in a rigid rig
box or fairly stiff rig bag. Look after your rigs - they are
your boat's engine!
ALTERNATIVE BATTERY
LOCATION
If you prefer to use rechargeable battery packs, such as
LiFe (Lithium Ferrite) packs or NiCad (Nickel Cadmium)
packs, these can be attached to the side of the Keel
Box inside the Hull and accessed via the deck opening
adjacent to the Mast. The battery packs can be secured by
means of self-adhesive Velcro. To locate the battery here
you will also need a short extension lead for the battery
cable.
The advantage of doing this is the greater convenience of
only having to lift the smaller deck patch to gain access
to change your battery. It also helps the trim of the boat in
lighter winds by moving the battery weight further forward.
In stronger winds you might prefer to move the weight back
again and position the battery pack on the servo tray. To
achieve this, the boat is supplied with a snap-in plate (photo
1 below) to fill the gap in the servo tray where the standard
battery holder would normally be. Simply snap this plate in
position and secure the battery pack with more self-adhesive
Velcro. This plate can be found in the Fittings Pack.
