(otherwise, bind the boat to the transmitter using
the included binding instructions)
• Make sure all linkages move freely on the boat
• Ensure the motor mount is secured to the hull so that
the motor does not move
• Perform a Control Direction Test with the transmitter
• Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter as desired
• Find a safe and open boating area
• Plan a safe boating route for the water and
wind conditions

Possible Cause
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater
Throttle channel is reversed
Damaged propeller, shaft or motor
Propeller is out of balance
Boat battery charge is low
Boat battery is damaged
Blocking or friction on shaft or propeller
Boat conditions may be too cold
Battery capacity may be too low
for conditions

After Boating

• Always power off the receiver before powering off
the transmitter to maintain control of the boat and
to retain transmitter binding
• Disconnect the battery from the receiver and remove
the batteries from the boat
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling lines and jackets around the motor
and ESC. Remove the hatch and radio box cover
before storing your boat

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.
