When running your boat for the first time, we
recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you
can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water
conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp
turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is
moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and
water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
Tip:
Use Clear Flexible Marine Tape (DYNM0102) around
the canopy when running your boat in rough water.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to pilot your boat.
Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary
objects
• waves,
wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating
debris
• overhanging
trees
• vegetation
If the propeller and rudder are blocked with debris or
vegetation, remove the boat from the water and remove
the debris before continuing operation.
When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the
probability of flipping the boat over. If necessary, adjust
your steering input to decrease sensitivity.
Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm)
of water.
If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use
fishing equipment or another boat.
NOTICE:
When running at full speed in choppy waters,
the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and
very quickly, subjecting the propeller and flex shaft to
some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller
and flex shaft.
CAUTION:
Never operate your boat in extreme
temperatures or turbulent water.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to retrieve a downed
boat by swimming.
Boating Tips
Tip:
Before placing your boat in the water, secure
the canopy on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102)
around the canopy seam, if desired.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the
boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of
the coolant outlet. Remove any blockage from the
rudder inlet and coolant system or the motor and ESC
(electronic speed control) may overheat.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore.
4. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering
trim dial on the transmitter.
Tip:
If you are using excessive steering trim on your
transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the
trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To
do this, use a 1.5mm hex driver to loosen the set screw
holding the push rod to the servo. Adjust the linkage in
or out of the brass barrel until the rudder is centered.
Tighten the set screw using a 1.5mm hex driver.
5. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the
boat starting to lose speed.
6. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery packs.
7. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before
charging the batteries or operating the boat again.
NOTICE:
Always power OFF the receiver before
powering OFF the transmitter. If the transmitter is
powered OFF before the receiver, the receiver will
enter failsafe mode.
