Racing Powerboats

[Ray Wood 3Participant @raywood3]

Hi All,

As everybody has been keeping radio silence for a few days …. Here's a starter for 10 Timing is essential, today I picked up my copy of MB's from WH Smiths in Maidstone and a free book attached just fits the bill perfectly as I'm planning for some real smoke & noise this summer at my local lake which allows IC boats

I bought 2 petrol powered boats a couple of years ago, the other one is now with my friend Tim Rowe in Mallorca both fitted with Zenoah 26 2 strokes.

Anybody know what type of grease to use on a flexidrive ??

Regards Ray

Moan moan…green…pollution…carbon…blah blah (get in there quick) My guess is a waterproof one,to stop the grease emulsifying too soon, but other than that??

As the drives need stripping, drying, cleaning and re-greasing after every session, it may not be critical…however no doubt there must a boy racer on here who will advise!

Harry must know? The king of going fast….

Spot on Ashley.

I use Marine Grease from Cornwall Model Boats for most applications including the flexi-drives in my race boats.
