Wiggle the rudder so you know it works,
and then start the engine.
Don’t rev the engine much, as there is
no load on the prop until it’s in the water.
To launch, have a helper toss the boat
in level.
You can give it a little gas as it gets to
the water, but not too much. Most
people don’t like getting sprayed with
water…
Let the engine warm up for 30 seconds
or so before giving it full throttle.
Drive past yourself, and make sure you
have a stream of cooling water.
If you don’t see any, bring it in pronto!
If all looks good, hit it!
Notice how the boat rides in the
straights. Does it lean or pull to one
side?
Is the deck and transom level?
How about the turns? Does the transom
rise or fall in the turns? Does it slide or
hook?
It’s a good idea to have a helper write
down your comments as you run the
boat. After the run, you can use the
included “Hydro Tuning Tools” sheet to
help you sort out any problems.
We appreciate you buying this kit and
hope that you enjoy it as much as we
do!
