30-INCH READY-TO-RUN BRUSHLESS BOAT
Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and
built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant
components to allow you to operate the product in calm,
fresh water conditions.
While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is
not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT
be treated like a submarine. The various electronic
components used in the boat, such as the servo(s)
and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the
mechanical components are water-resistant and require
additional maintenance after use.
Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and nuts,
propeller, rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts, as well as
the contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible
to corrosion if additional maintenance is not performed
after running in wet conditions. To maximize the long-
term performance of your boat and to keep the warranty
intact, the procedures described in the “Wet Conditions
Maintenance” section must be performed regularly.
CAUTION:
Failure to exercise caution while using this
product and complying with the following precautions
could result in product malfunction and/or void the
warranty.
Water-Resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics
General Precautions
• Read
the
Wet Conditions Maintenance
procedures
and make sure that you have all the tools you will
need to properly maintain your boat.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions.
Consult the battery manufacturer before use. Caution
should be taken when using Li-Po batteries in wet
conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult
your transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before
operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or boat when lightning
is present.
• Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive. If
you choose to run your boat in salt water, immediately
rinse the boat in fresh water after each use. Operating
your boat in salt water is at the sole discretion of the
modeler.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Drain any water that has collected in the hull by
removing the drain plug or canopy and tilting the boat
in the appropriate direction to drain the water.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands, fingers, tools and any
loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If
you have an air compressor or a can of compressed
air, blow out any water that may be inside the
recessed connector housings.
• Remove all moving parts. Dry and lubricate parts after
every 30 minutes of operation or if the boat becomes
submerged.
NOTICE:
Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat.
• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air
to dry the boat and help remove any water that may
have gotten into small crevices or corners.
• Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts
with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant.
• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil)
may continue to drip for a few hours.
