14 • DCB M41 WIDEBODY
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
DCB M41 Widebody uses
hook-and-loop straps to
secure the batteries. To
install the batteries, simply
loosen the straps, slide the
battery pack beneath them,
and tighten the straps to
hold the batteries snugly
against the battery tray’s
foam pads. They should be
tight enough to prevent
the batteries from sliding,
but should not be pulled
excessively tight. If you wish to use other positions in the battery tray,
simply remove the straps and reinstall them in the additional channels
provided. Assemble the straps as shown in the illustration.
Positioning the Battery Packs
• Battery Packs Forward:
This is the standard battery position,
indicated by the placement decals inside the boat hull. Installing the
battery packs at the front of the battery trays (A) will give DCB M41
Widebody the greatest stability in most water and wind conditions.
•
Alternate Position for the Battery Packs
:
Smooth water and calm
winds may allow you to move the battery packs slightly rearward in
the hull (B) to allow the bow to ride higher and increase DCB M41
Widebody’s speed.
• Battery Packs Fully Forward:
To navigate the DCB M41 Widebody
through rough water and wind gusts, position the battery packs fully
forward in the hull (C) to allow the bow to ride lower.
• Battery Packs Aft:
Positioning the batteries farther aft or all the way
back in their trays (D) is not recommended as this will make the DCB
M41 Widebody ride with its bow highter, making it more suspectible
to blow overs, spinouts, and instability.
