CAUTION: Always keep all body parts, hair and dangling or loose items away from a spinning propeller,

as these can be entangled.

NOTICE: Always power on the transmitter before powering on the ESC. Always power off the ESC before

powering off the transmitter. Never transport the boat with the battery connected to the ESC.

NOTICE: Read completely the radio appendix for more detailed instruction of using the radio. Make sure

you have totally studied the radio manual appendix before you really start operating the boat with the

radio.

Getting Started

1. Turn the transmitter throttle and rudder trim to the middle position.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.

4. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction when the controller is moved left or right.

5. Pull the throttle to max power postion, then return the throttle to min power position, ensuring the

propeller turns counterclockwise. The ESC auto-sensing voltage cutoff function will engage when the ESC

detects a low battery charge. Release the throttle and recharge the battery when necessary.

1. Power on the transmitter.

2. Connect a fully charged battery.

3. Test the transmitter's control of the boat with the boat on the display stand.

4. After launching the boat in the water, start driving slowly. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the

trimmer on the transmitter to run it straight.

5. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery packs.

6. Always turn off transmitter at last.

7. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before charging the battery or operating the boat again.

1. Rotate the hatch of the hull cover by clockwise to unlock the hatch.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF THE TRANSMITTER BEFORE UNCONNECTING BATTERY OF

RECEIVER, OR THE RECEIVER MAY PICK UP STRAY SIGNALS AND RUN OUT OF CONTROL TO

CAUSE ACCIDENT!

NOTICE: Always store the boat with hatch removed to prevent mold and mildew growth inside the hull.

Test Your Boat in Water

1. Carefully place the boat in water.

2. Operate the boat at slow speed near the shoreline. Avoid objects in water at all time.

3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speed, make sure it is safe and then operate the

boat farther from the shoreside.

Tip: If you are using too much steering trim on your transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return

the trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To do this, loosen the knob from the rudder horn,

adjust the knob to a proper position linking to pushrod, make sure ruder is centered.

4. Bring the boat back when you notice it starts to run at low speed even when you pull up throttle to max.

Tips of Controlling

Keep away from watercraft, stationary objects, waves and other rapidly moving water, wildlife, floating debris or

overhanging trees. You should able so careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many people, such as

swimming areas, park waterways or shing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to

pilot your boat. maximum speeds are only achieved when the water conditions are smooth and there is lttle wind.

A sharp turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is moving quickly. Always control your boat for the wind

and water conditions so that the boat does not turn over. When running your boat for the rst time, we recommend

calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn how the boat responds to your control. When making turns,

decrease the throttle in order to decrease speed and probability of ipping the boat over.

NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters, the propeller may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and

very quickly, subjecting the propeller to some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller.

CAUTION: Never retrieve your boat from the water in extreme temperatures, turbulence or without supervision.

Motor Care

Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent turns, stops

and starts, pushing object, boating in rough or vegetation and boating continuously at high speed.

Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor

from pushing against heavy resistance.

When You Finish

1. Power off the ESC.

2. Disconnect the battery in hull.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Remove batteries from boat and transmitter.

NOTICE: Always store the boat without hatch covered or inner liner sealed. Otherwise moisture may cause

mold and mildew to grow in the boat.

Maintenance

Always replace the shaft when it is damaged or shows visible wear or injury and property damage may

result.

Lubricating the shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping

water from entering the hull through the stufng box.

Lubricate the shaft, propeller shaft and all moving parts after every 2-3 hours of operation. Always replce

an parts that show visible wear or damage.

1. Align the propeller with the drive dog on the flex shaft, then

install the propeller using the included locknut.

2. Install the rudder horn to the rudder by two screw.

3. Install the rudder to the rudder holder and fix it by a bolt as

show in the graphic.

4. Connect the cooling line to the tting on the top of the rudder.

5. Ensure the trim tab panel is either perpendicular to or parallel

to the bottom of the boat. If it’s needed to switch the angle of the

panel, tie or release the screw which is touch the panel to switch

the angle.

1. Loosen the coupling between the motor and the

shaft.

2. Loosen setscrew from the shaft and remove the

shaft from the back of the boat.

Tips: Use paper or cloth to touch the shaft.

3. Remove the drive shaft by sliding it out of the

stuffing box. Wipe lubricant and material from the

shaft. Lubricate the full length of the shaft assembly

up the drive dog with marine grease.

4. Apply threadlock to the coupling setscrew.

Threadlock will help prevent the shaft from loosening

during usage.

5. Carefully reinstall the drive shaft, ensuring that

there is a 1-2mm gap between the prop strut and the

drive dog to allow for shaft shrinkage under load.

NOTICE: Running the boat in salt water could cause

some parts to corrode. If you run the boat in salt

water, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water after each use

and lubricate the drive system.

NOTICE: Because of its corrosive effects, running RC

boats in salt water is at the discretion of the user.

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 stays steady.

- Perform a Control Direction Test with the transmitter.

- Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter as needed.

- Find a safe and open boating area.

- Plan a safe boating route for the water and wind 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 coverr before storing your boat.

- Repair any damage or wear to the boat.

- Lubricate the shaft.

- Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of your boat, including water and wind conditions.

Tips: The hook and look strips in the boat retain water. To dry them press on them with a dry cloth.

Check List

Charging Instruction(For RTR)

For charging the included lithium battery, you can only use the included charger or a suitably compatible

lithium battery charger.

Charging the lithium battery using a none lithium battery compatible charger (such as a NiCd or NiMH

battery charger), or even a different lithium battery charger with the incorrect settings, may result in damage

to the battery or even re resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.

CAUTION: You must be careful to ensure proper polarity before making the connection.

Follow below steps to charge the lithium battery with the included charger.

For USB charger -

1.Power off your vehicle.

2.Carefully plug the charger into the USB port on

your computer or USB adaptor.

3.Connect the battery into the charger.

4.While charging, the red LED charge indicator will

be solid on. The charging process takes approximate

3.5 hours. For safety reasons, never charge the

battery over 4 hours.

5.When the battery is fully charged, the green LED

charge indicator will be solid on.

For balance charger & power adaptor set -

1. Plug the included balance charger to the power adaptor, then plug the power adaptor into a compatible

AC outlet(depends on different contries and area) , then connect the power output lead to the receptacle

on the side of the balance charger The power adapter and balance charger are powered on when the

green color LED indicator is glowing.

2. Connect the white 4-pin connector from battery to the mating connector on the charger.

And while the white connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connection, if you force

them it is possible to make connection with the incorrect polarity potentially causing damage to the battery

and/or charger. When the connectors are properly aligned for correct polarity, connecting them should

require only a moderate amount of pressure to achieve the ‘click’ that indicates a secure connection.

3. When the battery is connected to the charger securely and with the proper polarity both the red color and

green color LED indicators will glow. The battery will be charging anytime the red LED indicator is glowing.

4. It will take approximately 1.5-2.5 hours to fully charge a mostly or fully discharged (not over-discharged)

battery. And when the battery is fully charged the red LED indicator will stop glowing entirely. When the red

LED indicator is no longer glowing you can disconnect the battery from the charger as it is now fully charged

and ready for use.

CAUTION: Do not store the lithium battery fully charged.

For improved safety and longevity of the LiPo battery it’s best to store it only partially charged for any length

of time. Storing the LiPo battery at approximately 50% charged (which is approximately 3.85V per cell) is

typically best, however it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a volt meter

to achieve this voltage.

If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not,

simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery will

be stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may

be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last ight (as long as the battery was not over-

discharged on the last ight).
