Testing Your Boat In The Water; Handling Adjustment - Pro Boat ShockWave 26 Owner's Manual

Make sure the radio is ON and the battery
is plugged into the speed controller. Test
the radio system for proper operation, then
carefully place the boat in the water. Pilot
the boat at slow speeds, staying close to the
shoreline to ensure you have good control and
the boat is functioning correctly. Be certain to
avoid all objects in the water at all times.
Operate your ShockWave 26 Brushless EP
in low to medium wake conditions to avoid
having problems with the boat overturning.
If the conditions are questionable, adjust
the drive system down a bit to reduce the
likelihood of having the boat overturn. The
motor mount is slotted to allow you to
move the motor slightly when adjusting the
propeller strut. Loosen the motor mounting
screws when adjusting the propeller angle
and retighten after adjustment is complete.

Once you feel comfortable with the control of
your boat, it is safe to go further away from
the shoreline and at faster speeds. When you
notice the boat beginning to lose speed, bring
the boat back to shore. It will be necessary to
allow the electronic components to cool down
and to replace or recharge the battery before
heading out again.
You may also turn the dual rate dial down to
reduce rudder travel in rough water conditions.
