Does the Drive QRS need maintenance?
Edited
The Drive QRS system will need maintenance as all boat parts will need maintenance at the end of the season. This will include taking it apart and cleaning the bolts included helping keep the materials lasting longer.
If rowing on saltwater washing it down after water sessions is important to clear all the salt away this can include soapy water where needed.
The system itself uses 316 marine grade stainless steel fittings as part of the design and this should help prevent these breakdowns from happening. However, by using the maintenance procedures as mentioned above you will keep your products in the boat lasting longer and performing to the best of their ability.
