Testing Your Boat in the Water
Tip:
Before placing your boat in the water, secure the
canopy on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if
desired.
1.
Carefully place the boat in the water.
2.
Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the
boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of
the coolant outlet. Remove any blockage from the
rudder inlet and coolant system or the motor and ESC
(electronic speed control) may overheat.
3.
Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore.
4.
If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering
trim dial on the transmitter.
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, remove the ball link from the rudder horn,
then turn the ball link on the linkage threads until the
rudder is properly centered. Use needle-nose pliers or
ball link pliers (RVO1005) to remove or install a link on
a control horn.
5.
Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the
boat starting to lose speed.
6.
Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery pack.
7.
Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before
charging the battery or operating the boat again.
NOTICE:
Do not turn off the transmitter first or the
receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of
control.
2.4GHZ DIGITAL
RADIO SYSTEM
Control Check
IMPORTANT:
Perform a control check at the beginning
of each boating session, after repair or after installation of
new batteries.
Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all
batteries are fully charged.
1.
Power ON the transmitter and the boat.
Do not
install the boat canopy.
2.
Place the boat securely on the boat stand.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine without water
cooling circulation or damage may result.
3.
Check steering and throttle on the transmitter.
Trim Tab Adjustment
Tip:
Ensure the trim tab panels are either perpendicular
to or parallel to the bottom of the boat.
You may desire to bend the trim tabs for wind and water
conditions. To adjust the angle of the trim tabs, use a
large pair of pliers to bend the tabs. This must be done
carefully so that you do not damage the hull.
