Running
If you are using a new engine, you should run it
on the stand before going to the pond.
This will do several things; It will allow the
engine to loosen up a little, making starting a
simple matter, as well as get YOU familiar with
its starting and running characteristics.
When new, the engines are very tight, and
starting is difficult at best.
Under no circumstances should you ever run a
marine engine for an extended time without
cooling water.
Use our 3521 garden hose adapter.
If you are going to run the boat on the stand,
take the prop off, but leave the shaft connected
to the engine. This will help to “break in” the
strut bushings.
At the pond
Make sure your transmitter and receiver
batteries are fresh, or fully charged.
Do a range check with your transmitter antenna
down, and note the distance. You should do a
range check every day that you run. Should a
problem arise, you can fix it before you damage
anything. Tape the lid on the radio box with
radio box tape. Regular tape leaves a residue.
Make sure that your prop is sharp and
balanced.
Make sure all screws and nuts are tight.
Fill the tank; turn on your transmitter, then
receiver.
Wiggle the rudder so you know it works, and
then start the engine.
Don’t rev the engine much, as there is no load
on the prop until it’s in the water.
To launch, have a helper toss the boat in level.
You can give it a little gas as it gets to the
water, but not too much. Most people
don’t like getting sprayed with water…
Let the engine warm up for 30 seconds or
so before giving it full throttle.
Drive past yourself, and make sure you
have a stream of cooling water.
If you don’t see any, bring it in pronto!
If all looks good, hit it!
Notice how the boat rides in the straights.
Does it lean or pull to one side?
Is the deck and transom level?
How about the turns? Does the transom
rise or fall in the turns? Does it slide or
hook?
It’s a good idea to have a helper write
down your comments as you run the boat.
After the run, you can use the included
“Hydro Tuning Tools” sheet to help you
sort out any problems.
