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.
Install Propeller, Rudder and Fins 1. Align the propeller with the drive dog on the flex shaft and install the propeller using the included locknut. Tip: Remove the left and right trim tabs from the boat to install the vertical fins more easily. 2. Install the left and right turn fins using two M3x8 cap screws for each turn fin (total of four screws). Adjust the vertical fins for the desired stability. 3.
Battery Safety Precautions • When using a Li-Po battery, always ensure the Battery Chemistry Switch is in the ON position. • Always disconnect a battery from the ESC when not in use. • Never discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell. • Avoid continually operating to LVC, as this could result in damage to the battery. Installing the Battery Pack(s) 2. Remove the radio box cover. Where needed, install the included self-adhesive hook strips on your battery pack(s). 5.
Transmitter Controls Reverse Switch BIND ST N TH R N R Allows you to change the direction of steering (ST. REV) and throttle (TH. REV) controls.
Getting Started 1. Power on the transmitter. 4. Power on the ESC switch. 2. Turn ON the Li-Po battery switch (when using Li-Po batteries). 5. Do a test of the transmitter’s control of the boat with the boat on the display stand. 6. After launching the boat in the water, start driving slowly, and, if the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering trim dial on the transmitter. 3. Connect the battery. ST. TRIM 1 2 R POWE TH.

Binding 4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes. Bind Button Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The DX2E and MR200 are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below. BIND ST N TH R N R 1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port on the receiver. 5.
Center of Gravity Moving the batteries to the front or back can significantly affect the boat's performance. 1. Move the batteries toward the rear of the boat to raise the front of the hull out of the water for increased speed. 2. Move the batteries toward the front of the boat for faster initial acceleration to eliminate oscillation or bouncing and to increase stability.
Maintenance CAUTION: Always replace the flexshaft when it is damaged or shows visible wear. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Lubricating the flexshaft 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 box. 3. Remove the drive shaft by sliding it out of the stuffing box. Wipe lubricant and material from the flexshaft.
ESC The included ESC programming card (DYNM3821) allows you to quickly program your Dynamite® Marine Brushless ESC control settings. Brake: ON or OFF ON: The boat will stop immediately when the throttle is returned to neutral. OFF: The boat will coast to a stop. Programmable Settings Timing: Low Timing or High Timing Throttle Reverse: ON or OFF Cutoff Voltage: High Cutoff or Low Cutoff High Cutoff: The Ni-MH Cutoff voltage is .9 volts per cell and the Li-Po Cutoff is 3.3 volts per cell.
Checklists Before Boating After Boating • Install fully charged batteries in your boat and transmitter • • Connect the boat’s battery to the ESC Always power off the receiver before powering off the transmitter to maintain control of the boat and to retain transmitter binding • Make sure the boat is bound to the transmitter (otherwise, bind the boat to the transmitter using the included binding instructions) • Disconnect the battery from the receiver and remove the batteries from the boat • •
Troubleshooting Guide Boat will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Transmitter is too near boat during connecting process Move powered transmitter a few feet from boat, disconnect and reconnect battery to boat Boat or transmitter is too near large metal object, wireless source or another transmitter Move boat and transmitter to another location and attempt linking again Bind plug is left installed Rebind transmitter to boat and remove bind plug before cycling power Boat battery/transmitter ba
