Certainly,it's small bore nitro fuel line,of the type that's used in nitro R/C cars.It works well in light load situations,but it does slip under heavier loads,or if as you've found out,when the motor gets too hot. Hope that helps a bit. :-))

The motor is a 380,though the 385 would have been the better choice.I have it set up to run on 4.8V,powering a 30mm 3-bladed plastic prop,or a 25mm one if you feel that the speed is too great.
 The plan called for the use of a 7.2V stickpack,but when I tried that out,I found that with a 380 motor,the boat was overpowered,so I dropped the voltage. Even with the reduced voltage packs,I still get over an hours sailing time from the pack.
