Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat™ ThunderCat™ 31 Catamaran. You are just minutes
from one of the most thrilling experiences that the radio control hobby has to offer.
The Pro Boat ThunderCat 31 is a professionally built, ready-to-run Catamaran fiberglass composite model.
Powered by the potent Dynamite® .32 marine engine, you will be able to race across the water at scale
speeds in excess of 300mph!
Read this owner’s manual thoroughly. You also need to read the included Dynamite .32 engine manual, along
with the Pro Boat radio system manual.
It is very important that you operate this boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be
able to enjoy your ThunderCat 31 for many years to come.
Carefully unpack ThunderCat 31 and examine the boat and its contents. The box should contain the
ThunderCat 31 RTR with radio installed, a boat stand, and the Pro Boat radio transmitter. If you are missing
any of these items or notice any damage, immediately contact the place of purchase.
This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance RC model boat. Do not take risks that could endanger you
or others.
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear. If someone else is operating on the same
frequency, both models could go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models, as well as to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller, making sure that all are secure
before and after each run.
Always stay clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your ThunderCat 31, place it in the water with the engine running at
approximately 1⁄8 throttle. Slowly increase throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase
throttle to no more than 1⁄2 until you become more familiar with the boat.
When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats, stationary objects, and wildlife. Also,
watch out for fishing lines that could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate the Pro Boat
ThunderCat 31 in low wake, low wind conditions. We also suggest that you do not run the ThunderCat 31
in salt water. If at any time while operating your ThunderCat 31 you sense any abnormal function, end your
operation immediately. Do not operate your ThunderCat 31 again until you are certain the problem has
been corrected.
