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.

• Even minimal water contact can reduce the life of your

motor if it has not been certified as waterresistant
or waterproof. If the motor becomes excessively
wet, apply very light throttle until the water is mostly
removed from the motor. Running a wet motor at high
speeds may rapidly damage the motor.

• Driving in wet conditions can reduce the life of the

motor. The additional resistance of operating in
water causes excess strain.

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 disconnect the

ESC and motor. 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 the flex shaft and 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. Do not
spray the motor.

• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and

oil) may continue to drip for a few hours.
