ProBoat Blackjack 26 Assembly Manual Download Page 9

Before the first run of the BlackJack 26, you should 
check the radio for proper operation and to ensure 
proper control movement of the rudder and 
throttle. Also ensure that the antenna on the boat 
is extended properly and that all batteries are in 
working condition.

 1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter 

and receiver) and the transmitter antenna down 
(engine off), walk off 40 to 50 paces from the 
BlackJack 26.

 2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to 

check for proper control movement of the 
rudder from your transmitter input. 

 3. If everything appears to be operating 

correctly, raise the antenna and start the engine 
(refer to Section 6 of this manual and to the 
separate Dynamite .15 engine manual). Place 
the boat in the water and run it (at about 1⁄3 
throttle) close to the shoreline. If the radio 
system is operating properly, you can begin to 
run the boat faster and further away from the 
shoreline. 

Note

: It is a good idea to range 

check prior to operating your boat 
after any repair, installation of new 
batteries, or at the beginning of 
each boating season.

to the quart of fuel or the DYN2003 Fuel Bottle 
to fill the fuel tank with your selection of Blue 
Thunder fuel. After you have filled the fuel tank and 
re-installed the lid, wipe away any excess fuel that 
may have spilled inside the hull or elsewhere on the 
boat. Immediately seal the fuel container by putting 
the lid back on after refueling in order to protect 
the fuel from moisture.

We recommend that you use Blue Thunder™ 20% 
fuel. For maximum performance, we recommend 
Blue Thunder Race Formula. Blue Thunder fuels 
are specifically formulated for excellent power and 
engine protection.

Locate the fuel tank inside the cockpit area and 
unscrew the lid. Use either the DYN2009 Fast 
Tap™ quart bottle spout that has been attached
