TROUBLESHOOTING
NO SIGNAL BETWEEN THE TRANSMITTER AND THE BOAT:
Check to make sure the transmitter is linked to the receiver. To link,
turn on the transmitter and plug the batteries into the boat. Press
and hold the link button on the top of the receiver (use a tooth pick
or other small pointed object) for approximately 4 seconds or until
the system links. You will know it is linked when the small LED
hidden behind the face of the receiver stops fl ashing and stays lit.
BOAT RUNS BACKWARDS:
Switch any two of the three motor wires.
ESC WILL NOT ARM:
Move the throttle trim knob slowly clockwise, or counterclockwise,
to adjust the center point of the throttle system. Also check the
throttle reverse switch to make sure it is in the Rev position.
BOAT IS SLOW TO TAKE OFF:
Make sure the cable coupler is tight. If it’s OK, try being more
aggressive with the throttle during the launch; or, toss the boat
forward with more force, applying power as the boat touches the
water.
BOAT SLOWS DOWN OR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A RUN:
Check for weeds on the prop or any obstruction blocking the water
cooling pick up.
AFTER A RUN THE MOTOR, BATTERIES AND/OR ESC IS HOT:
Check to make sure the water pickup is not plugged. Check to see
that the prop is not broken or that you have changed to a propeller
that is too large for the power system.
Stand clear of the propeller and plug each of the battery packs into
the motor controller.
At this time you will hear one beep. To arm the system squeeze the
throttle trigger and hold until you hear one more beep. Release the
throttle trigger and you will here three more beeps. Your boat is
now ready to operate. Note: You will have to go though this simple
arming procedure each time to run your boat.
If your boat does not beep after plugging in the batteries turn the
throttle trim knob either left or right until you hear the boat beep.
Then continue the arming process.

Your boat is now ready to operate!
Now is a good time to check the rotation of the prop. Quickly squeeze
the throttle trigger and check the direction of the motor. It should
spin the propeller counterclockwise when viewing the boat from the
back. If the motor spins the wrong way, simply switch any two of
the three wires between the motor and the controller.
Warning:
Do
not hold the throttle down for more than one or two seconds to
check the motor direction or you might risk damaging the motor.
Also check the steering direction. When you turn the wheel to the
right, the back of the rudder blade should also move to the right.
Install the cowl and tape in place. You are now ready to run the boat.
After you have completed your run, bring the boat in, untape and
unplug the batteries.
➧
Be careful as electronic parts can become very hot during
operation.
➧
Allow the electronics to cool before running the boat again.
TIPS AND NOTES:
The handling and performance of your Motley Crew can be disrupted
by the smallest obstructions in the water. If you happen to pick up
a small duck feather or leaf, the power system could draw more
current than the ESC is capable of handling; the performance of the
boat will be compromised and you could damage the motor, ESC or
batteries. Please make sure the water you are running in is clear or
obstructions.
It’s also important to note that if you operate the boat for extended
periods of time at less than full throttle, you could overheat the ESC.
Be mindful of this as you operate the boat.
