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. Canopy Removal 1. Loosen the 4 screws located at each corner of the canopy. 2. Remove the canopy from the hull starting with the 2 rear screws. Ensure that the 4 screws have disengaged from their bases before lifting the canopy carefully. Propeller Installation 1.
EN Auto Bailers Your boat is equipped with two auto bailers. Each auto bailer works as a mechanical one-way valve. Inside the auto bailer is a ball bearing and a rubber seal. The ball bearing is free to move when the bailer is not in contact with water, allowing water to exit the hull. Once submerged, the pressure from the water presses the ball bearing against the rubber seal, preventing water from entering the hull. 1.
EN Charging the Receiver Battery Instructions Choose a charger designed to charge the included 7.4V 3300mAh 2S 15C LiPo. We recommend the Dynamite® Prophet™ Sport LiPo AC Balance Charger (DYNC2005CA). Refer to your charger manual for charging instructions and safety information. NOTICE: Never charge a battery in the boat or damage may result. Receiver Battery Installation 1. Remove the 2 clips and lid from the battery compartment. 2.

EN Binding 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. Remove the radio box cover and 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. The receiver will keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.
EN Fuel Safety and Use Instructions • • • • • • • • Always observe all warnings, precautionary statements and instructions supplied by the fuel manufacturer/provider. Fuel is a fire accelerant. Never operate your vehicle near open flames. Never smoke while operating your vehicle or while handling fuel. Always only use a mixture of gasoline and two-cycle oil for fuel. Do not use glow (nitro) fuel. Always use caution when handling gasoline. Always run your model engine in a well-ventilated area.
EN Vehicle Starting and Running 1. Remove the canopy. 2. Power on your transmitter, then power on the receiver. 3. Verify that there is fuel in the fuel line. Place your thumb over the carburetor and slowly pull the starter cord. You will immediately see fuel flow through the fuel line into the carburetor. 4. With the boat on a stand and the propeller unobstructed, pull the starter cord in a continuous motion to start the engine. The engine should start within 6 pulls. 5.
EN Boating Tips Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects, waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife, floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat. When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the probability of flipping the boat over.
EN Stopping the Engine Any time you want to stop the engine, especially if there is a problem, stop the engine by pressing the KILL switch. CAUTION: Do not touch the engine or muffler after use. They can become extremely hot, which can cause injury or fire. When You Are Finished 1. Power off the receiver. 2. Power off the transmitter. 3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat. CAUTION: Never power off the transmitter or receiver before stopping the engine.
EN After Boating • Drain water from inside the hull using the auto bailers. • Wipe exhaust residue from the boat. 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. • Rinse the deck, hull, and metal hardware, then dry them with a clean towel. Coat the metal hardware with water displacement fluid to help prevent corrosion.
EN Engine Tuning Before making adjustments: • Ensure there are no leaks or obstructions in the fuel tank, fuel tubing or the carburetor. Any faults can affect engine operation and tuning. • The carburetor needle is very sensitive. Adjusting the needle even 1/16 of a turn is a significant change. Be careful when making adjustments. Running a lean engine can lead to premature engine wear or complete engine failure. Low-Speed Needle (on the right side).
EN Spark Plug Test CAUTION: Before testing the spark plug, clean up spilled fuel and close fuel containers. Failure to do can result in injury, fire or damage. 0.6–0.7mm 0.24–0.27 in Remove the spark plug from the engine and attach the plug wire and boot to the spark plug. Place the threaded end of the spark plug against the muffler. Pull the starter cord in a quick continuous motion to turn over the engine and ensure there is a spark. If there is no spark: • Adjust the spark plug gap to 0.6–0.7mm (0.
EN Maintenance 1. Inspect the engine and engine mounts for damage or wear. Replace, clean or repair as needed. 3. Inspect the tuned muffler for damage and leaks. Tighten the screws. 2. Inspect the condition of the spark plug and wire. Replace as needed. 4. Clean and check the carburetor for leakage and smooth operation. Clutch The centrifugal clutch automatically engages when the engine rpm is increased.
EN Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. 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. Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every 30 minutes of operation. Lubricate the prop shaft after every 90 minutes of operation. 1.
