Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and built with a
combination of waterproof and water-resistant components to allow
you to operate the product in calm, fresh water conditions.
While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is not completely
waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated like a submarine. The
various electronic components used in the boat, such as the servo(s)
and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the mechanical
components are water-resistant and require additional maintenance
after use.
Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and nuts, propeller,
rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts, as well as the contacts in
the electrical cables, will be susceptible to corrosion if additional
maintenance is not performed after running in wet conditions. To
maximize the long-term performance of your boat and to keep the
warranty intact, the procedures described in the “Wet Conditions
Maintenance” section must be performed regularly.
CAUTION:
Failure to exercise caution while using this
product and complying with the following precautions could
result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.
Water-Resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics
• Read the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure
that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your
boat.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the battery
manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken when using
Li-Ion or Li-Ion batteries in wet conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water resistant. Consult your transmitter’s
manual or the manufacturer before operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or boat when lightning is present.
• Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive. If you choose
to run your boat in salt water, immediately rinse the boat in fresh
water after each use. Operating your boat in salt water is at the
sole discretion of the modeler.

• Drain any water that has collected in the hull by removing the
canopy and tilting the boat in the appropriate direction to drain the
water. If your boat has a drain plug, remove the plug to drain water
from the hull.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands, fi ngers, tools and any loose or
hanging objects away from rotating parts.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an air
compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water that
may be inside the recessed connector housings.
• Remove all moving parts. Dry and lubricate parts after every 30
minutes of operation or if the boat becomes submerged.
NOTICE:
Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat.
• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry the
boat and help remove any water that may have gotten into small
crevices or corners.
• Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts with a water-
displacing light oil or lubricant.
• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil) may continue
to drip for a few hours.
