IV. Maintaining your Water Bee Pedal Boat
A) Bearing Inspection
Future Beach recommends that the owner check the bearings every 2-3 months in coarse sand,
and salt-water conditions. To check the bearing:
1. Using your 3/4” ratchet,
remove the bolt from the
crankshaft. (Note: to
remove the bolt, use vice-
grips to hold bolt on other
side in place)
3. Now the bearing may
be accessed and inspected
for grit, dirt, and any other
contaminants that may
cause damage to the drive
system.
2. Pull away crankshaft
away from bearing in
order to access the
bearing.
B) Draining water from your Water Bee pedal boat
Although your Water Bee is roto-molded, in the case that water has somehow managed to enter
inside your hull, it is important to remove it before storing and/or reusing.
2. Using a file, or
flat screwdriver,
unscrew the drain
p
lugs.
1. Locate the two drain
p
lugs at the rear of your
p
edal boat
3. Stand boat up against a wall
to let water drain from the
drain plugs removed in steps
1-2. Locate and remove drain
p
lugs on the underside of the
p
edal boat.
