Overview
The PRB Silicone Cooling Lines for the Zelos 36 Twin Catamaran are essential replacement parts designed to keep your brushless RC boat running at optimal temperatures during extended water sessions. Whether you're a seasoned RC boat enthusiast in the UK or a newcomer to the world of brushless RC watercraft, maintaining proper engine cooling is crucial for consistent performance and longevity. These genuine Pro Boat silicone cooling lines are specifically engineered for the Miss GEICO Zelos 36 twin brushless catamaran, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable water circulation through your motor's cooling jacket.
Silicone cooling lines can degrade over time due to exposure to saltwater, freshwater, UV rays and the natural expansion and contraction that occurs during intense racing sessions. If your cooling lines have become brittle, cracked or discoloured, replacing them with quality silicone tubing will restore efficient heat dissipation from your brushless motor, preventing performance loss and potential thermal shutdown during critical moments on the water. These replacement cooling lines are easy to install and represent excellent value for maintaining your twin brushless catamaran setup.
RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of Pro Boat Miss GEICO Zelos 36 spares and upgrades, making it simple to keep your brushless RC boat in peak condition. From water-cooling jackets and tubing to flex shafts, propellers and counter-rotating components, we have the genuine parts you need for reliable running season after season.
Key Features
- Genuine Pro Boat Silicone Construction — These cooling lines are manufactured from high-quality silicone material that resists degradation from saltwater, freshwater and UV exposure, ensuring long service life compared to standard rubber tubing which hardens and cracks prematurely in marine environments.
- Perfect Fit for Zelos 36 Twin Catamaran — Specifically designed for the Miss GEICO Zelos 36 twin brushless catamaran, these lines connect seamlessly to your motor's water-cooling jacket without requiring adaptations or modifications to your boat's cooling system.
- Maintains Optimal Motor Temperature — Properly functioning cooling lines are essential for circulating water through your brushless motor's cooling jacket, preventing thermal buildup that can reduce performance, cause voltage sag and lead to ESC thermal shutdown during demanding racing conditions.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance — Replacement is straightforward for owners familiar with basic boat maintenance, requiring only simple removal of old tubing and installation of new silicone lines onto the cooling jacket ports and water intake.
- Cost-Effective Spare Part — At a reasonable price point, these replacement cooling lines represent excellent value for maintaining your investment in a high-performance brushless RC catamaran without requiring complete motor or cooling system replacement.
Technical Performance
The Zelos 36 is a twin brushless catamaran that demands reliable cooling performance to prevent motor thermal issues during extended racing sessions. The silicone cooling lines work in conjunction with the boat's water-cooling jacket to circulate fresh or saltwater through the brushless motor, extracting heat generated by the twin brushless motors running at high RPM. Silicone tubing offers superior durability compared to standard rubber, maintaining flexibility across a wider temperature range and resisting the corrosive effects of saltwater and chlorinated pool water. The replacement cooling lines are engineered to the exact internal diameter and wall thickness required for the Zelos 36 cooling system, ensuring optimal water flow rate and thermal transfer efficiency. Regular inspection and replacement of cooling lines every season or after heavy use is recommended maintenance practice for any serious RC boat owner running brushless power in the UK, whether racing in coastal waters, rivers or inland reservoirs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why would I need replacement cooling lines for my Zelos 36 brushless catamaran? — Silicone cooling tubing degrades over time due to exposure to saltwater, chlorine, UV radiation and thermal cycling. If your cooling lines appear brittle, cracked, discoloured or have lost their flexibility, replacing them with fresh Pro Boat silicone tubing restores efficient water circulation through your motor's cooling jacket, preventing overheating and thermal shutdown during races.
- How often should I replace the cooling lines on my RC boat? — The frequency depends on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Boats used regularly in saltwater or racing intensively may need cooling line replacement annually, whilst casual freshwater use might only require replacement every two to three seasons. Inspect your lines regularly for signs of hardening, cracking or separation from the fitting ports.
- Are these cooling lines compatible with other Pro Boat models? — These cooling lines are specifically designed for the Miss GEICO Zelos 36 Twin brushless catamaran. Always verify your exact boat model and motor cooling jacket specifications before ordering replacement parts, as different Pro Boat models may use different cooling line diameters and configurations.
- Can I use standard rubber tubing instead of silicone cooling lines? — Whilst standard rubber tubing is cheaper, silicone is superior for marine RC applications. Silicone maintains flexibility in cold water, resists saltwater corrosion better than rubber, and offers longer overall service life, making it worth the modest additional investment for reliable cooling performance.
- Do I need any special tools to replace the cooling lines? — Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools beyond basic hand tools to access the cooling jacket fitting ports on your motor. Simply disconnect the old tubing and slide new silicone lines onto the ports, ensuring tight connections to prevent water leaks.
