Boating Tips

When running your boat for the first time, we

recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you

can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water

conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp

turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is

moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and

water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a

location to pilot your boat.
Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• waves, wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation

If the propeller and rudder are blocked with debris or

vegetation, remove the boat from the water and remove

the debris before continuing operation.
When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the

probability of flipping the boat over.
Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm)

of water.
If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use

fishing equipment or another boat.

NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters,

the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and

very quickly, subjecting the propeller and flex shaft to

some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller

and flex shaft.

CAUTION: Never operate your boat in extreme

temperatures or turbulent water.

CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed

boat by swimming.

When you are Finished

1. Power off the receiver.

2. Power off the transmitter.

3. Disconnect and remove the

battery from the boat.

Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or

moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in

the boat.
