THE SHOCKWAVE INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the ProBoat ShockWave. It’s important that you read and follow this instruction manual carefully and run your boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your ShockWave for many years to come. Carefully unpack your new ShockWave and examine the boat and its contents. The kit contains one ShockWave and one JR XR3 Radio System transmitter. All you need to supply is 12 “AA” batteries and gas and oil.
Suggested Field Equipment and Supplies Although your ShockWave comes fully assembled and ready for action, you will need a few tools to keep it running in top form.
Section 1: Building the Boat Stand Parts Needed Tools and Adhesives Needed • Plywood boatstand pieces (4) • CA or epoxy Step 1. There are 4 plywood boatstand pieces. The 2 short plywood pieces are the ends of the boat stand. Notice that one of the two short pieces has a channel cut out in the center for the stuffing box to clear. Step 3. Secure the interlocking boatstand with medium thick CA or epoxy. Step 2.
Section 2: Installing the Receiver and Transmitter Batteries Step 1. Remove the rear hatch with a 3/32 hex wrench. Step 7. Remove the JR XR3 transmitter from its foam packaging. Step 2. Remove clear plastic cover from the radio box. Step 8. Remove the battery access cover from the bottom of the transmitter and remove the empty battery holder. Install 8 “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery holder. Step 3. Remove the receiver battery holder and install 4 “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery holder.
Section 3: Fuel/Oil Mixture Step 1. Mix gasoline and 2-stroke oil at a mixing ratio of 32 to 1. That’s 4 oz per gallon or 20 oz per 5 gallons. A perfect tool to ensure proper mixing ratios every time is the Hangar 9 Ratio-Rite Measuring Cup (HAN3101). Step 2. Remove the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank with the gas and oil mixture. Use a funnel to prevent fuel spills when fueling. If you have a spill inside of the boat, wipe up the fuel with a rag or paper towel.
Section 6: Maintenance Your ShockWave should provide many hours of exciting highspeed racing fun with just minor maintenance. Preventative maintenance is very important. Taking the time to ensure that all the set screws and bolts are tight before each operation of the boat will prevent many problems. Periodically check to see that the engine is secure in its mount. Step 2. Use a 3/32 Allen wrench to loosen the socket head screw on the rudder control horn. Remove the rudder.
Step 5. Loosen the top 2 bolts on the strut mount with a 9/64 Allen wrench. Loosen and remove the 2 bottom bolts from the strut mount. Remember to hold on to the strut mount when removing the bolts. Place the 2 nuts, bolts, and washers in the small parts container. Step 10. Reinstall the lower shaft drive strut into the strut mount. Reinstall the 2 lower bolts and loosely tighten. Step 11. Loosely tighten the 2 upper bolts on the strut mount.
Section 7: Performance Tips Trim Tabs: The trim tabs can greatly enhance the performance of your ShockWave. To adjust the angle of the trim tabs, use a large adjustable wrench to carefully bend the tabs as shown. This must be done carefully so that you do not damage the transom. If you would like a calmer, more controlled run, carefully bend the tabs down 1/8". If your goal is to go faster and to add excitement, bend the tabs carefully up.
