EN Water-resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant components to allow you to operate the product in calm, fresh water conditions. While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated like a submarine.
EN Introduction Pro Boat® RC models look as good as they perform. Our boats, which include everything from scale sailboats to fully licensed powerboats, exceed expectations and provide years of radio control fun and excitement. Whether your passion leads you towards the pure serenity of sailing or the all-out speed of a Deep-V, Pro Boat models fit your taste, budget and lifestyle.
EN Boat Stand Assembly 1. Attach the side stand pieces to the end pieces as shown. 2. Use medium CA or epoxy adhesive to secure the side stand to the ends. 3. Allow the adhesive to dry before placing your boat on the stand. Antenna Tube Installation 1. Carefully feed the end of the receiver antenna through the grommet inside the hull. 2. Pull the antenna wire out of the grommet towards the outside of the boat, then slide the antenna through the antenna tube. 3.
EN Battery Charger Choose a charger designed to charge the recomended Dynamite® Reaction 7.4V 5000mAh 2S 50C Li-Po battery. We recommend either the Dynamite Prophet™ Sport Plus 50W AC/DC Charger or the Dynamite Prophet Sport Duo 2 X 50W charger. Refer to your charger manual for charging instructions and safety information. NOTICE: Never charge a battery in the boat or damage may result. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage your battery.
EN Spektrum DX2E Radio System For more information on the transmitter, go to www.spektrumrc.com and click on the support tab to find the full manual for the DX2E transmitter. 3 5 1. Steering Wheel controls direction (left/right) of the model. 6 2. Throttle Trigger controls speed. 3. Antenna transmits the signal to the model. 4. ON/OFF Switch turns the power ON/OFF for the transmitter. 5. Indicator Lights • Solid green light indicates adequate battery power.
EN Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below. 1. Ensure the transmitter and vehicle are both powered OFF. 2. Install the bind plug in the BIND/battery port of the receiver. Power the receiver through any other port. 3. Power ON the vehicle. The receiver LED will blink green. 4.
EN Range Check IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning of each boating session, after repair or after installation of new batteries. Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all batteries are fully charged. 1. With the radio system powered on and connected, walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m). 2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper control movement of the rudder in response to your transmitter input. 3.
EN Boating Tips 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. If the propeller and rudder are blocked with debris or vegetation, remove the boat from the water and remove the debris before continuing operation. 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.
EN After Boating and Maintenance • Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug • Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor.
EN Prop Angle Adjustment Raising the prop strut increases speed, but also decreases steering response and increases cavitation. Lowering the drive strut increases steering response, but also increases steering sensitivity and decreases speed. 1. Loosen 2 bolts and 2 nuts from the drive strut on the rear of the boat. 2. Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of the propeller in relation to the hull. 3. Adjust as desired and tighten the nuts and bolts.
