Grease the flex cable.
Slide the cable through the stinger, into the engine
collet.
Leave a 3/8 inch gap between the drive dog and
stinger.
Tighten the collet.
Wrap your battery pack in foam rubber.
You can wrap the receiver in foam rubber or you
can use double sided tape to attach it to the
underside of the radio box lid.
We leave the receiver antenna inside the radio box
for racing in protected water (2.4 ghz Futaba
FHSS).
Mount the switch.
Turn the transmitter on first, then the receiver.
Make sure the trims are centered.
Put the rudder servo arm on. It should be parallel
with the servo, and 90 degrees to the pushrod. Use
the sub trim function, if your radio has it.
If not, get it as close as you can.
Try to use innermost servo hole that you can. The
PV needs very little rudder throw.
Attach the rudder to the pushrod. Is the rudder
straight? If not, adjust the clevis or ball link until it is.
Be sure to put the screw in the servo arm…
Adjust the throttle so that the carb is wide open
when you pull the trigger all the way back, and
closed when you push the trigger fully forward.
When the engine is running, you can use the
throttle trim to set the idle speed.
Take the time to get this right. It’s no fun running
your boa
t onto the shore because the engine won’t
shut off…
Make sure all your water lines are firmly attached.
Use those teeny little tie wraps at each fitting.
