Checklists
Before Boating
• Install fully charged batteries in your boat and
transmitter
• Connect the boat’s battery to the ESC
• Make sure the boat is bound to the transmitter
(otherwise, bind the boat to the transmitter using
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
• Perform a Control Direction Test with the transmitter
• 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
• Disconnect the battery from the receiver and remove
the battery from the boat
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling system. Remove the hatch before
storing your boat
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat
• Lubricate the driveshaft
• Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of
your boat, including water and wind conditions
Tip: The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water.
To dry them, press on them with a dry cloth. Use a
sponge, paper towel or cloth to remove water from
inside the hull.
NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave
the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.
Rudder Service
1. Remove the nut, screw, breakaway pin and rudder
from the mount.
IMpORTANT: The pin is designed to break in case
of rudder impact. If broken, replace the pin with
a wood pin (such as a toothpick).
2. Assemble in reverse order.
IMpORTANT: Do not over tighten the rudder screw.
The rudder must be allowed to rotate with some
resistance in order to prevent damage to the rudder
and/or hull if the rudder comes in contact with an
object.
propeller Service
1. If necessary, use a tool to loosen and tighten
the nut.
2. Remove the nut and propeller from the
driveshaft.

propeller with the drive dog on the driveshaft.
