Checking the Radio System

CAuTION: Always keep all body parts, hair

and dangling or loose items away from a spinning

propeller, as these could become entangled.

NOTICE: Always power on the transmitter before

powering on the ESC. Always power off the ESC

before powering off the transmitter. Never transport

the boat with the battery connected to the ESC.

1. Turn the transmitter throttle and steering trim knobs

to the 10 o’clock position.

2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.

4. Power on the ESC switch. The ESC will beep 5 times.
5. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction when

the steering wheel is moved left or right.

6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to

neutral, ensuring the propeller turns counterclockwise.

Brushless boats have an over-rev limit that will not allow

you to hold full throttle when the propeller is not loaded

(out of the water).
If the over-rev limiter becomes engaged, re-arm

the ESC by returning the throttle trigger to neutral.
The auto-sensing voltage cutoff will also engage when

the ESC detects a low battery charge. Release the

throttle and recharge the battery when necessary.

You must rebind when:

• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when

throttle or steering reversing has been changed.

• Changing receiver types e.g., changing from a DSM

®

receiver to a DSM2

®

or Marine receiver.

• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.

failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use,

the receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed

failsafe positions (normally no throttle and straight

steering). If the receiver is powered on before powering

on the transmitter, the receiver will enter failsafe mode,

driving the servos to their preset failsafe positions. When

the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.

Failsafe servo positions are set during binding.

slowly. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the

steering trim dial on the transmitter.
