the included binding instructions)
• Make sure all linkages move freely on the boat
• Ensure the motor mount is secured to the hull so that
the motor does not move

• Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter as desired
• Find a safe and open boating area
• Plan a safe boating route for the water and
wind conditions
After Boating
• Always power off the receiver before powering off
the transmitter to maintain control of the boat and
to retain transmitter binding

the batteries from the boat
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor.
Remove the hatch and radio box cover before storing
your boat
