EN Self-Righting If the boat turns over, release the throttle to stop the motor. Return the boat to upright by applying a short throttle burst. Tip: The boat may not self-right in extremely rough water. Proceed to calmer water and follow the self-righting steps. The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the battery side. Apply throttle to level the boat. No weight adjustment is necessary.
EN Maintenance Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. Lubricating the drive 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. 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.
EN Rudder Trim A If the boat does not go straight, adjust the ST TRIM buttons on the transmitter. C B If you are using all the steering trim on your transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To do this, loosen the two set screws (A) from the rudder horn (B), then adjust the linkages (C) until the rudder is properly centered.
