If you should happen to strike anything in the water the 
rudder is designed to “kick back”. To return your rudder to 
the running position simply rotate the rudder blade forward 
until it snaps in place.
Tuning Your Gunslinger
You can adjust your Gunslinger for better performance by 
adjusting the trim plates and upgrading the prop.
Bending the trim plates down will reduce bouncing (porpoising) 
but add amp draw and slow the boat down slightly, possibly 
shortening your run time. Bending the trim plates up will loosen 
the boat up, can cause it to porpoise and possibly even blow 
over (fl ip over backwards)! Adjusting the trim plates to provide 
the best balance of speed and stability is challenging and fun.
Your boat will also benefi t from the addition of a metal prop. 
(AQUB9700 AquaCraft Metal Prop 36x55 2-Blade). The 
reduced fl ex and sharper edges will help the performance 
greatly. Learning to work on, i.e. sharpen 
and balance your prop is fun and can also 
be rewarding. Always be extra 
careful around metal propellers. 
Once sharpened they can cut 
with little effort.
IMPORTANT:
If your boat takes on a large amount of water and stalls in 
the middle of the lake, don’t worry, your P-27 Gunslinger has 
foam fl oatation so it will not sink. You will however have to 
retrieve the boat and remove the canopy to remove the any 
water that might have entered. If the inside of the boat is 
fl ooded, remove the transom plug from the back of the boat 
and allow the water to drain. Dry the boat the best you can 
before operating it again. Remember to re-install the transom 
plug before running your boat again.
Maintenance
It is important to remove and re-lubricate the drive shaft and 
other motor bearings after a day of running. Make sure the 
battery pack is unplugged. To lubricate the shaft you will need a 
1.5mm hex wrench, GrimRacer Cable Grease and a paper towel.
1. Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, loosen the set screw holding 
the drive shaft to the motor coupler. 
2. Slip the drive shaft out the back of the boat. Wipe off any 
grease and water that might be on the shaft.
