Checklists
Before Boating
• Install fully charged batteries in your boat and
transmitter
• Connect the boat’s battery to the ESC
• Make sure the boat is bound to the transmitter
(otherwise, bind the boat to the transmitter using
the included binding instructions)
• Make sure all linkages move freely on the boat
• Ensure the motor mount is secured to the hull so the
motor does not move
• Perform a Control Direction Test with the transmitter
• Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter as desired
• Find a safe and open boating area
• Plan a safe boating route for the water and
wind conditions
After Boating
• Always power off the receiver before powering off
the transmitter to maintain control of the boat and
to retain transmitter binding
• Disconnect the battery from the receiver and remove
the batteries from the boat
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor
and ESC. Remove the hatch and radio box cover
before storing your boat
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat.
• Lubricate the flex shaft
• Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of
your boat, including water and wind conditions
Tip:
The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water.
To dry them, press on them with a dry cloth.
