Move boat or transmitter to another location and attempt
to connect again
Boat battery/transmitter battery charge is too low
Replace/recharge batteries

The boat hull is not completely closed
Dry out the boat and ensure the hatch is fully closed on
the hull before returning the boat to the water
Center of gravity is too far forward
Move battery back in the hull
Boat tends to turn one
direction
Debris is blocking a jet pump
Remove debris from the jet pump
