Section 2: Turn Fin The Miss Budweiser comes with the turn fin installed on the right sponson. You will want you run the Miss Budweiser in an oval and in an area that will allow you to make right turns (clockwise). Do not attempt to make tight left hand turns (counterclockwise), or you could easily flip the boat. If you need to make a left turn, do so in a large diameter turn at slow speeds.
Section 5: The Dynamite .15 Marine Engine Water-Cooled Engine Because the Dynamite® 15S engine is water-cooled and not air cooled, make sure that you do not run the engine for an extended amount of time outside of the water. Continuously monitor the water outlet when the boat is running to make sure that the water is reaching the engine head. If the water does not reach the head to cool it, the engine will overheat and fail. This could cause permanent damage to the engine.
