Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat
ShockWave
™
™
Sport Deep-V. You are just minutes from one of the most thrilling
experiences the radio control hobby has to offer.
The Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS is a professionally built, ready-to-
run deep-V fiberglass model. Powered by the potent Zenoah
engine, you will be able to race across the water at scale speeds in
excess of 300 mph!
Read this owner's manual thoroughly. You also need to read the
included Zenoah G26 engine manual, along with the JR
®
radio system manual.
This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance RC model boat.
Do not take risks that could endanger you or others.
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear.
If someone else is operating on the same frequency, both models could
go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models, as well as
to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller,
making sure that all are secure before and after each run.
Always stay clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your ShockWave 55 SS, place in water
with engine running at approximately
⁄
throttle. Slowly increase

8
throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle to
no more than
⁄
until you become more familiar with the boat.

When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats,
stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch out for fishing lines that
could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate the
