Possible Cause
Solution
Boat does not respond
to throttle but responds
to other controls
Throttle servo travel is lower than
100%
Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or
greater
Throttle channel is reversed
Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Extra noise or extra
vibration
Damaged propeller, shaft or motor
Replace damaged parts
Propeller is out of balance
Balance or replace propeller
Reduced runtime or
boat underpowered
Boat battery charge is low
Completely recharge battery
Boat battery is damaged
Replace boat battery and follow battery
instructions
Blocking or friction on shaft or
propeller
Disassemble, lubricate and correctly align
parts
Boat conditions may be too cold
Make sure battery is warm before use
Battery capacity may be too low
for conditions
Replace battery or use a larger capacity
battery
Drive dog is too close
Loosen coupling at shaft and move away
shaft a small amount
Too little lubrication on shaft
Fully lubricate shaft
Vegetation or other obstacles block

Troubleshooting Guide
Boat tends to dive in
water or takes on water
The boat hull is not completely closed
Dry out the boat and ensure the hatch is
fully closed on the hull before re turning the
boat to the water
Center of gravity is too far forward
Move batteries back in the hull
Trim tabs are angled incorrectly on
the back of the boat
Angle each trim tab up a small amount to
lift the bow or down a small amount to lower
the bow
