EN Antenna Tube Installation Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown. Do not bend the end of antenna over the antenna tube and place the cap over it or damage may result. The antenna does not have to be outside of the tube to operate properly. Keep the end of the antenna above the boat’s waterline to get the best transmitter reception. NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the receiver antenna or damage may result. Transmitter Controls 8 7 6 9 10 5 12 4 11 3 1.
EN Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) The factory default setting for the LVC in the ESC included with your boat is set at 3.2V per cell. Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage your 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 boat drastically slows or stops completely once LVC is activated.
EN Testing Your Boat in the Water 1. Carefully place the boat in the water. 2. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering trim dial on the transmitter. 3. Return the boat to shore when it begins to slow or when LVC activates. 4. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery. 5. Turn off the transmitter. NOTICE: Always power OFF the receiver before powering OFF the transmitter. If the transmitter is powered OFF before the boat, the receiver will enter failsafe mode.
EN After Boating and Maintenance • After each use, remove the drain plug and hold the boat upright to drain all water from inside the hull. • Reinstall 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. We recommend placing the boat upside down to allow the water to continue to drain. • Repair any damage or wear to the boat.
EN ESC Programming Procedure 1. Pull and hold the Throttle Trigger to full throttle and turn the ESC on. 2. After 2 seconds a “-B-B” will sound. Wait another 5 seconds and the ESC will give a rising tone to indicate you have entered Programming Mode. 3. After entering Programming Mode, you will hear 4 tones in a loop to indicate Programmable Items. Push the Throttle Trigger to full brake within 3 seconds to select the programmable item. 4.
EN Replacing the Propeller To replace the propeller: 1. Ensure that the ESC is disconnected from the battery. WARNING: Severe bodily injury may occur if a battery is connected to the ESC and the ESC is turned on. 2. Carefully lift the cage away from the boat’s carbon fiber rudder supports. Tip: Do not remove the cage completely. 3. To remove the rudder, disengage the pins that hold the rudder to the carbon fiber supports.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Boat will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Wet motor causes bearings to seize Remove motor and apply penetrating oil to both ends of the motor.
