How long is a the normal 4 cell battery pack meant to last.Mine lasts about 10 minutes then its dead. How do I know if it is the charger that is at fault or the battery. I power a single screw boat.

A short while ago I posted a thread regarding water up prop shaft...Following the advice on this forum I removed the rudder and the shaft was taken out ..Enclosed are photos...Now how do I waterproof my shaft?..Grease is a given but what washers do I use on the prop end.

Would like to thank all the great guys who posted fantastic advice and comments on the subject... I have decided to simply temporarily put a face flannel under the prop shaft inboard and remove it after sailing to wring out. Also prior to sailing grease both ends a lot to limit ingress... A model boat shop has offered to fix it but until finances, time and travel allow me to take her there, this shall have to suffice....To all of you, Thank You..

Hi Colin I may have to take her to a shop but there isnt one around where I live.. I dont have the tools, expertise or time to attempt this myself. Also the prop was loktited onto the shaft and the same again inboard.. She runs beautifully so maybe I should just run her one a week then drain the water out afterwards. It is minimal anyway...What do you think?

Unfortunantly both the propellor onto the shaft and the shaft was locktited onto the U joint inboard so I have another hurdle...Maybe due to the fact that I only sail her once a week due to work and the ingress is minimal due to the propulsion I should just grease the prop shaft outboard and just empty the water out after sailing.I really do not have the tools, time and most importantly the expertise to strip this all down....Any advice? Thanks to all of you for your great help so far..

Thanks for the great reply...Unfortunantly that all seems a bit expert for me ,maybe it would be better done by a pro or someone with more experience.

Hi Colin.. I cannot pull the shaft as rudder is permanently fixed.. It is just a case of trying to get grease inside the brass stuffing... Failing that try and catch the water at the inboard end.

Hi . It is the normal type of shaft.. The rudder is in the way and is fixed permanently...I did not build this boat as it was gifted to me by a venerable old gentleman who had it for 20 years and prior to that the original builder had it for 30!. She is beautifully made and sound.. The only problem is this water ingress.. I am loathe to destroy anything but it seems the tube is permanently fixed to the hull with the shaft inside...Somehow I need to get grease inside this tube..Failing that, add a water catcher at the inboard end.
