8.0 Launching and Retrieving the EchoBoat
The EchoBoat should be launched stern (rear end) first. This will protect the thrusters from accidental grounding
and possible damage.
•
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the way the boat responds to the controls before deploying in fast-
moving water.
•
When the boat is traveling away from you it will respond to control signals as expected, however when
the boat is inbound (traveling toward you), the same control signals create an i n v e r t e d
response. An inexperienced operator’s first response in an emergency may unintentionally guide the
boat in an unintended direction.
•
To prolong the life of the batteries, accelerate slowly.
