Paddling Adapter Maintenance Notice

February 18, 2015 By Hope

Very Important Maintenance Message!

Axle on trolley bar with maintenance aids
Axle on trolley bar with maintenance aids

The axle in the front mast trolley is highly polished hardened carbon steel. It will corrode if it is left outdoors or in damp or humid conditions or if cleaners containing water, bleach, alcohol, or detergents are used to clean or maintain its shiny surface. The best way to maintain the axle is to clean off any buildup of foreign material such as dust that combines with maintenance oil to form a dark grimy consistency. This buildup can be best removed using a penetrating oil such as WD-40 in combination with a clean cloth rag and then recoating the axle with a lightweight oil. Any 20-weight oil like 3-In-One will work fine. Apply a liberal amount of oil to a dry rag and then wipe down the axle with the oily rag.  If any corrosion does show up on the axle address it immediately using a penetrating oil in combination with a nylon scratch pad like Scotch-Brite to remove the corrosion. Do not use any cleaning agents such as Fantastic, glass cleaner, etc. on it.   If you are in a particularly humid part of the world, this is even more important.   The paddling adapter is not designed for outdoor use (even under cover).  If you follow these maintenance steps you will get many years of service out of your paddling adapter.  Please note that the axle is not covered under our warranty.

Thanks for your past regattas! Looking forward to the next one. In the meantime we have our 2023 Canoe Paddling Adapter World Rankings entry page up on our website if paddlers want to compete from home…Thank you everyone for your support of our Beasts from the East indoor regatta! We're so happy that people have enjoyed the event in the past and are reaching out about our plans for this year. Unfortunately, we will not be holding the 2023 regatta. Even though most people have some immunity against Covid now, we still do not feel comfortable with a crowded indoor environment potentially causing a super spreader event. But he on the look out for a bigger and beastier BftE in 2024!

If you are interested in joining other fun events, we will again be participating in the Shamrock Splash on March 6 this year to raise money for beach activation! Come for a refreshing dip in the water or to cheer on the brave souls! Check this link for more info savetheharbor.securesweet.com/about.asp

And if you're visiting Boston at any point and looking for some workout buddies, feel free to reach out and join us at one of our practices!
