Boating Tips
When running your boat for the first time, we recommend
calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn how
the boat responds to your control.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location
to pilot your boat.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat is
moving forward, ensure water flows out of the coolant
outlet.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore at higher speeds.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when power is limited by
the Low Voltage Cutoff. After LVC has kicked in, the ESC
will allow you throttle the boat at a fraction of normal
operation allowing enough power to return to shore.
CAUTION: Never operate your boat in less than 12
inches (30.5 cm) of water.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat
by swimming. If you need to retrieve your boat from
the water, use fishing equipment or another boat.
Self-Righting
If the boat turns over, release the throttle until the boat
comes to a stop. Return the boat to upright by applying a
short throttle burst.
The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the battery
side. Applying throttle levels the boat. No weight adjustment
is necessary.
NOTICE: The included, weighted motor coupler aids
self-righting, when full throttle is applied. This coupler
is intended for use with the included battery or other
batteries with a maximum capacity of 4000mAH. If you
run a larger capacity battery pack, replace the weighted
coupler with PRB3308 to eliminate erratic boating.
When You Are Finished
1. Power off the receiver by pressing
the power button for 2 seconds.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery
from the boat.
Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or moisture
may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat. Drain water
from inside the hull using 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
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat
• Lubricate the drive shaft using Pro Boat Marine Grease
(PRB0100)
• Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of your
boat, including water and wind conditions
Tip: The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water. To dry
them, press on them with a dry cloth.

Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation
NOTICE: If the propeller and rudder are blocked with
debris or vegetation, remove the boat from the water and
remove the debris before continuing operation. Remove
any blockage from the coolant system or the motor and
ESC (electronic speed control) may overheat.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters,
the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and
very quickly, subjecting the propeller and drive shaft to
some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller
and drive shaft.
Tip: In calm water, you may need to apply a burst of
reverse and then apply a burst of full throttle aid the boat
in self-righting. This rocks the boat side to side aiding it to
self-right.

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.
