Instruction Manual
Binding
Binding is the
process of
programming the
receiver/ESC to
recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique
Identifier) code of
a single specific
transmitter. The
transmitter and
receiver/ESC are
bound at the factory. If you need to rebind:
1. Using a tool, press the bind button on the receiver.
The receiver will blink green when it is ready to bind.
2. Power on the transmitter.
You must rebind when:
• When you want different failsafe positions (e.g. when
throttle or steering reverse has been changed).
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and
receiver/ESC if there are other compatible transmitters
in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in
unexpected binding.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost
during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their pre-
programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and
straight steering).
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver enters Failsafe mode. When the
transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.
IMPORTANT: Failsafe activates only in the event that sig-
nal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate
in the event that receiver battery power decreases below
the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is
lost.
1. Loosen the thumbscrew on the boat bow.
2. Slide the cross member through the large hole, on
the front of the boat, making sure to center the cross
member. Then, tighten the thumbscrew to secure the
cross member.
3. Slide a retrieval arm over the side of the cross mem-
ber, taking into consideration the size of the boat you
need to retrieve. Repeat this step on the other side.
TIP: Keep equal spacing on each side to provide bal-
ance.
4. The retrieval arms will pivot when they are not in the
water. This allows the retrieval arms to float on the
water, ensuring greater retrieval success.
Retrieval Arms
Use the existing mount to install the water cannon pump
into the hull.
1. Remove the water inlet cap from the water pickup
silicone tube.
2. Place the water pump and bracket into the hull, lining
up the two screw holes inside with the motor facing
forward.
3. Tighten the two screws that hold the water pump in
place, and install the rear facing silicone line to the
water pickup.
4. Plug the long main cabin waterline into the outlet on
the left side of the pump.
5. Plug the water pump motor servo plug into the
controller labeled M1.
To operate the water pump, press the CH 3 button on
the transmitter.
