When You Are Finished

1. Power off the ESCs by holding the power buttons for 2
seconds and then releasing them.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.
4. Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug.
5. Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the
water cooling lines and jacket around the motor.
6. Remove the canopy before storage or moisture may allow
mold and mildew to grow in the boat.
7. Repair any damage or wear to the boat.
8. Lubricate the flex shaft using Pro Boat® Marine Grease
(DYNE4200 or DYNE4201) (see, Drivetrain Lubrication).
NOTICE: Never store the boat without greasing the flex
shafts or they may rust.
9. Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of your
boat, including water and wind conditions.
NOTICE: Never leave the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.

Boating Tips

During the first run, we recommend calm wind and water
conditions to ensure that the boat is properly set up.
Maximum speeds of 60 MPH/+ can be achieved once you
have set up the boat for your specific conditions.
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.

• Once armed, the ESC will beep and the LED will flash,
indicating the number of battery cells it has detected.
• 1 short beep will sound and the LED will turn solid
when the ESC is ready to run.
The ESCs are joined with a Y harness, ensuring that only
one ESC powers the receiver. If the ESCs are powered
on one at a time, the receiver may not power up. The
secondary ESC will beep and the LED will flash every 3
seconds until the primary ESC is armed. The LED will turn
solid when the ESC is armed.
7. Install the canopy on the hull.

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. When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the
probability of flipping the boat over.
5. Bring the boat back to shore when the motor starts to
pulse.
NOTICE: Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches
(30.5 cm) of water.
