Boating Tips

Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects,

waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife,

floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be

careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many

people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or

fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before

choosing a location to pilot your boat.
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.
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.

When making turns, decrease the throttle position

in order to decrease speed and probability of flipping

the boat over.

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

to some stress. Frequent stress may damage

the propeller.

CAUTION: Never retrieve your boat from

the water in extreme temperatures, turbulence

or without supervision.

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.

Tip: Always store the boat open

(without the hatch and inner liner

sealed) or moisture may cause

mold and mildew to grow in

the boat.

Motor Care

Seat the motor brushes by driving

smoothly on calm waters during use

of the first battery charge.
• 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.
