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.

If you find damage is present, please contact the retailer where you purchased your boat. 8.75 in (222.2mm) 24 in (609mm) Box Contents • Pro Boat® Blackjack™ 24 Inch Brushless Catamaran • Spektrum™ STX2® 2CH 2.4GHz FHSS Transmitter (SPMSTX200) • Spektrum™ STX2® 2CH 2.

EN Antenna Tube Installation Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown. Keep the end of the antenna above the boat’s waterline to get the best transmitter reception. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired. NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the receiver antenna or damage may result. Installing the Battery Pack 1. Loosen the 2 screws on the rear of the canopy. rougher water conditions, the use of Waterproof Hook and Loop Tape (DYNK0300) may also be needed to fully secure the battery. 2.
EN 2 Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Battery Chemistry Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage the battery.The included ESC protects the boat battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. The ESC comes from the factory in Li-Po Mode. To change battery chemistry: Power to the motor will be reduced significantly, showing that the battery has reached the minimum LVC threshold.
EN Control Check IMPORTANT: Perform a control 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. Power ON the transmitter and the boat. Do not install the boat canopy. 2. Place the boat securely on the boat stand. NOTICE: Do not operate the motor without water cooling circulation or damage may result. 3. Check steering and throttle on the transmitter. 2.
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. 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. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.
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 • Remove the hatch before storing your boat • Repair any damage or wear to the boat • Lubricate the flex shaft using Pro Boat Marine Grease (DYNE4200) • 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.
EN Water Cooling System If water does not stream out of the water outlets while the boat is moving forward, immediately stop the boat and clean the obstruction from the water cooling system. 1. Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to remove blockage and prevent overheating. 2. Replace damaged parts. Rudder Service 1. Disconnect the water tube from the rudder. 2. Remove the linkage from the rudder arm with Ball Link Pliers. 3. Turn the rudder and loosen the set screw from the rudder pin. 4.
EN Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. NOTICE: Running the boat in saltwater could cause some parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the drive system. Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Boat will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter Damaged propeller, shaft or motor Replace damaged parts Propeller is out of balance Boat battery charge is low Boat battery is damaged Blocking or friction on shaft or propeller Balance or replace propeller Completely recharge battery Replace boat battery and follow battery instructions Disassemble, lubricate
