Miss Geico 29
Center of Gravity
Moving the batteries to the front or back of the
compartment can significantly affect the boat's
performance.
1. Move the batteries toward the rear of the boat to raise
the front of the hull for increased speed.
2. Move the batteries toward the front of the boat for
faster initial acceleration to eliminate oscillation or
bouncing, and to increase stability.
Drive Height
Lowering the drive will increase the propeller's ability
to bite at take off, but excessive lowering can cause
the back of the boat to feel loose and decrease top end
stability. Raising the drive helps eliminate oscillation or
bouncing and assist with top end stability, but excessively
raising the drive can reduce top speeds and cause
cavitation. If the conditions are questionable, adjust the
prop strut down a bit to reduce the likelihood of having
the boat overturn. The motor mount is slotted to allow
you to move the motor slightly when adjusting the
propeller strut.
Loosen the motor mounting screws (A) when adjusting
the propeller strut angle trim and retighten after
adjustment is complete. Use a 3mm hex wrench and
7mm nut driver to loosen the bolt that attaches the
output to the bracket to adjust the height. Raise or lower
the prop strut. Tighten the bolt when adjustment is
complete. You may also turn the dual rate dial down to
reduce rudder travel in rough water conditions.
When You are Finished
1. Power off the ESC.
2. Disconnect the batteries.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Remove the batteries from
the boat.
Tip:
Always store the boat open
(without the hatch and inner liner
sealed) or moisture may cause
mold and mildew to grow in
the boat.

Motor Care
• Prolong motor life by preventing
overheating conditions. Undue
motor wear results from frequent
turns, stops and starts, pushing
objects, boating in rough water
or vegetation and boating
continuously at high speed.
• Over-temperature protection is
installed on the ESC to prevent
circuit damage, but cannot
protect the motor from pushing
against heavy resistance.
