Install the battery into the boat as shown in the picture.

At this time you can also install two AA batteries into the 

battery holder that powers the lighting system. The switch 
is located forward of the main power battery pack that turns 
the light on and off.

With the transmitter on, plug a charged battery into the ESC. 

You will hear the motor beep three times letting you know the 

motor and ESC have power. Moving the left stick forward should 
result in counter clockwise rotation of the propeller. Moving the 
stick back should result in the propeller turning clockwise. If 
this not correct, unplug the battery and switch revising switch 
3 and test again. (Normal switch position is down.)

NOTE:

  The throttle trim lever allows more or less reverse 

power without changing the full forward operation. To do this 
simply plug in the battery with the throttle trim lever in the lowest 
position. During power up the system will program to this trim 
setting. This will provide the least amount of reverse power. 
Moving the trim lever to the top and plugging the battery in will 
provide the most amount of reverse power. You can position the 
trim lever within the extents of the movement to custom adjust 
the amount of reverse you want by simply adjusting the throttle 
trim lever up or down and plugging in the battery.

Launching and Driving the Bristol Trawler

1. Turn the power on to the transmitter and receiver (in that 

order).

2. Place the boat in water that is at least 12” deep and free of 
weeds, sticks and obstacles.

3. Advance the throttle to half speed and note if the boat has 
a tendency to turn right or left. Adjust the steering trim on 
the transmitter until the boat runs straight when the steering 
is at neutral.

 

4. After you have completed a run, unplug the boat’s power 

battery. This safely powers down the boat. Then, turn off your 
transmitter.

IMPORTANT: 

If your boat takes on a large amount of water 

and stalls in the middle of the lake, don’t worry, 

your boat has 

foam floatation so it will not sink

. You will, however, have 

to retrieve the boat and remove the cabin hatch and battery. 
Remove any water that might have entered and allow the boat 
to fully dry before operating it again. 

Maintenance

It is important to remove and re-lubricate the drive system after 
a day of running. Make sure the battery pack is unplugged. 
Use a needle oiler to place one drop of oil on each end of the 
motor shaft as well as each end of the drive shaft.
