EN Water-Resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant components to allow you to operate the product in calm, fresh water conditions. While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated like a submarine.

EN Battery Pack Selection When selecting the batteries for your boat it is important to remember that the limit to each speed control is 22.2V (6S). WARNING: Maximum battery voltage speciification is 22.2V (6S). Exceding the 22.2V limit will damage the ESCs and may result in fire or personal injury.
EN Battery Pack Installation Batteries can be installed in this boat using either a 2-battery or 4-battery configuration. 3S 11.1V LiPo batteries can be used, but all batteries used in a configuration must be of the same voltage, milliamp, C rating and in roughly the same condition. If you are using a 2-battery configuration, use the included battery adapter to connect two (2) batteries in series, then connect the battery series to the both ESCs in parallel.
EN Getting Started 1. Remove the canopy from the hull. 2. Install the receiver antenna in the antenna tube. 3. Install the fully charged batteries in the compartment and secure them with the hook and loop straps. 4. Power on the transmitter. Ensure the throttle is not reversed and the throttle trim is neutral. 5. Connect the battery to the ESC. 6. Keep the throttle at neutral and power on both ESCs simultaneously by sliding the power switches to the ON Position.
EN In rough water and windy conditions, consider: Avoid boating near: • mounting the batteries further forward for added stability • adjusting the struts downward to prevent the boat from overturning • Do Not drive directly in to the wind. The boat will flip easily which may result in damage to the hull.
EN Maintenance Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. Lubricating the drive shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube. We recommend lubricating the flex shafts after every use, not to exceed 15 minutes of use. Remove one flex shaft at a time, or mark the shafts as right or left.
EN Throttle Range Calibration 1. Power on the transmitter and set the throttle TRIM dial to the center position. simultaneously. The ESCs will beep twice. The green light will flash with each beep. 2. Install the batteries in the boat and connect the batteries to the ESCs. 4. Return the throttle to neutral. The ESCs will beep once and the green light will flash once. 3. With the ESCs powered off, pull the throttle trigger to full throttle and power ON both ESCs The calibration process is now complete.
EN Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) The factory default setting for the LVC in the ESC included with your boat is set at 3.2V per cell. Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage your battery. The included ESC protects the boat battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the battery.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Boat battery charge is low Blocking or friction on shaft or propeller Completely recharge battery Replace boat battery and follow battery instructions Disassemble, lubricate and correctly align parts Boat conditions may be too cold Make sure the battery is warm (above 10º C [50º F]) before use Battery capacity may be too low for conditions Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery Drive dog is too near the stuffing tube Loosen drive s
