Center of gravity

Moving the batteries to the front or back can significantly

affect the boat's performance.
1. Move the batteries toward the rear of the boat

to raise the front of the hull out of the water for

increased speed.

2. Move the batteries toward the front of the boat for

faster initial acceleration to eliminate oscillation or

bouncing and to increase stability.

Drive Height

Lowering the drive will increase the propeller's ability to

bite at takeoff, but excessive lowering can cause the back

of the boat to feel loose and decrease top end stability.

Raising the drive helps eliminate oscillation or bouncing

and with top end stability, but excessively raising the

drive can reduce top speeds and cause cavitation.
If the conditions are questionable, adjust the prop strut

down a bit to reduce the likelihood of having the boat

overturn. The motor mount is slotted to allow you to

move the motor slightly when adjusting the propeller

strut. Loosen the motor mounting screws when

adjusting the propeller strut angle trim and retighten

after adjustment is complete. Use a 3mm hex wrench

and 7mm nut driver to loosen the bolt that attaches

the output to the bracket to adjust the height. Raise or

lower the prop strut. Tighten the bolt when adjustment is

complete.

You may also turn the dual rate dial down to reduce

rudder travel in rough water conditions.

Motor Care

• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating

conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent

turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in

rough water or vegetation and boating continuously at

high speed.

• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to

prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor

from pushing against heavy resistance.

When You are finished

1. Power off the ESC.
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Remove the battery from

the boat.

Always store the boat open (without

the hatch and innner liner sealed) or

moisture may allow mold and mildew

to grow in the boat.
