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.
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

When You Are Finished
Tip:
Always remove the canopy before storage or
moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat.
Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug.
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor
• Remove the hatch before storing your boat
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat
• Lubricate the drive shaft using Pro Boat® Marine
Grease (DYNE4200 or DYNE4201) (see,
Drivetrain
Lubrication
)
• 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.
NOTICE:
When you are finished boating, never
leave the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed
area such as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.

If the boat turns over, release the throttle until the boat
comes to a stop. Return the boat to upright by applying a
short throttle burst.
The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the
battery side. Apply throttle to level the boat. No weight
adjustment is necessary.
NOTICE:
The included weighted motor coupler aids
self-righting after the boat has flipped and full throttle
is applied. This coupler is intended for use with the
included battery or other batteries with a 4000mAh
maximum capacity.
To self-right the boat in calm water:
1. Apply a burst of reverse.
2. Apply a burst of full throttle.
The boat should rock and right itself.
To self-right the boat in rough water:
1. Release the throttle.
2. Apply a burst of forward, reverse and forward
throttle. The boat should rock and right itself.
NOTICE:
The boat may not self right in extremely rough
water. Proceed to calmer water and follow the self-
righting steps.
Tip:
The boat will be easier to self-right when powered
by a 14.8V battery.
CAUTION:
Repeated failed attempts to self-right
may cause the electronics to overheat.
