The model boats are built from glass fibre. The tops are produced from UV stabilised PVC. Regular applica-
tion of a quality polish will reduce the harmful effects of sunlight. The boat should be thoroughly cleaned as
soon as it is removed from the water and before any soiling is allowed to dry. Never use any abrasive cleaner
on the hull or top.
The hull contains the following components:
The motors and propeller shafts
The battery contact assembly
The battery
The receiver
The boat is propelled and steered by the use of the motors. There is no rudder. This system is mechanically
less complex, allows good manoeuvrability and removes the need for “push off” blocks around the pool.
When the boat is travelling straight-ahead both motors rotate anticlockwise (as viewed from the rear). If the
boat is required to turn to the right, the right motor is either stopped or reversed depending on the radius
of turn required. The opposite is true for a left turn.
From the above it is apparent that the connection and correct polarity of the motors is vital for the correct
operation of the boats. Red wires connect with the inside slots of the green terminals on the battery contact
assembly, and black wires connect with the outside slots, as per the pictures below;
