Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat
Catamaran. You are just minutes from one of the most thrilling
experiences that the radio control hobby has to offer.
The Pro Boat Blackjack 26 SS is a professionally built, ready-to-run
Catamaran fi berglass composite model. Powered by the potent Pro
Boat .18 marine engine, you will be able to race across the water at
speeds in excess of 30 mph.
Read this owner's manual thoroughly. You also need to read the
included Pro Boat .18 engine manual, along with the Pro Boat radio
system manual.
It is important that you read and follow this instruction manual, along
with the radio system manual and the engine manual, before you run
this exciting boat. Failure to read and understand the manual could
result in personal injury, property damage or permanent damage to
your boat. It is also important to run your boat responsibly. With proper
care and maintenance, you will be able to proudly enjoy your Blackjack
26 SS for many years to come.
This boat has been designed to race in an oval path, just like its full-
scale counterpart. At high speeds do not attempt turns to the left, as
the boat may become unstable. If you have to turn left, do so in a large
diameter turn and at slow speeds.

26 SS
It is very important that you operate this boat responsibly. With proper
care and maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your Blackjack 26 SS
for many years to come.
Carefully unpack your Blackjack 26 SS and examine the boat and its
contents. The box should contain the Blackjack 26 SS RTR with radio
installed, a boat stand and the Pro Boat radio transmitter. If you are
missing any of these items or notice any damage, immediately contact
the place of purchase.
General Guidelines
When operating the boat, stay clear of people, full-scale boats, station-
ary objects and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the Blackjack 26 SS
in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people, wildlife
and objects.
Before you operate your model, make sure that your frequency is clear.
If someone is operating on the same frequency, both models could go
out of control, possibly causing damage to the models or to others.
Check all of the hardware, manifold, pipe and propeller for security
before and after each run.
If at any time while operating your model you sense any abnormal
function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate your boat
again until you are certain the problem has been corrected. Always
stay clear of the propeller.
