2. The lighting system has its own dedicated power switch.
Turn the power “ON” to illuminate the running lights. If the
lights appear to be dim or do not illuminate at all, this is an
indication that the batteries need to be replaced.
Battery Pack Installation
IMPORTANT! Never leave a charger and battery pack
unattended while charging. Use only the recommended
battery pack and an appropriate charger. Do not attempt to
charge the battery while it is installed in the Bristol Bay.
❏
1. Peel the backing off of the supplied hook & loop
material and apply the “loop” side to your 6-cell battery pack.
With the cabin removed from the deck, place a fully charged
battery pack onto the battery tray as shown.
❏
2. Plug the battery pack into the boat’s ESC (Electronic
Speed Control) battery connector. Do not force them
together; they are designed to fit together only one way.
Check the Radio System
Note:
Make sure that the receiver antenna and antenna tube
are inserted into the rear mast for optimum range.
❏
1. Turn the power “ON” to the transmitter and receiver (in
that order). Attach the port (left) and starboard (right) cabin
hooks to their retaining rings and carefully set the cabin in
place as shown.
❏
2. If the boat’s propeller begins to spin once power is
turned “ON,” make sure your transmitter is “ON” and simply
rotate the throttle trim knob located atop the transmitter until
it stops.
❏
3. Standing behind the boat with the radio system turned
“ON,” rotate the steering wheel of your transmitter to the left.
The back of the rudder should move towards the left. Rotate
the steering wheel of your transmitter to the right. The back of
the rudder should move towards the right. If this is not the
case, simply move the transmitter’s steering servo reverse
switch to the other position.
❏
4. Squeeze the trigger on the transmitter; this should
activate the propeller in a counter-clockwise motion. If this is
not the case, try moving the throttle servo reversing switch to
the other position. Pushing the trigger forward will activate
the propeller in a clockwise rotation; this is the “REVERSE”
feature and it can be used to either back out of precarious
water or slow the boat down quickly.
❏
5. The D/R knob located atop the transmitter is the steering
rate adjustment. Turning the knob to the right increases the
total movement of the rudder while turning it to the left
decreases the rudder movement.
