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, freshwater conditions. While the entire boat is highly water-
resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated
like a submarine. The various electronic components used in the boat, such as
the ESC, servo(s), and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the
mechanical components are water-resistant and require additional maintenance
after use. Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and nuts,
propeller, rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts, as well as the contacts in the
electrical cables will be susceptible to corrosion if additional maintenance
is not performed after running in wet conditions. To maximize the long-term
performance of your boat and to keep the warranty intact, the procedures
described in the WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE section must be performed
regularly.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and
complying with the following precautions could result in product malfunction
and/or void the warranty.
General Precautions
- Read the WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE procedures and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your boat.
- Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.
- Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult your transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.
- Never operate your transmitter or boat when lightning is present.
- Saltwater is very conductive and highly corrosive. If you choose to run your boat in salt water, immediately rinse the boat in fresh water after each use. Operating your boat in salt water is at the sole discretion of the modeler.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
-
Drain any water that has collected in the hull by removing the drain plug or canopy and tilting the boat in the appropriate direction to drain the water.
CAUTION: Always keep hands, fingers, tools, and any loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts. -
Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water that may be inside the recessed connector housings.
-
Remove all moving parts. Dry and lubricate parts every 30 minutes of operation or if the boat becomes submerged.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat. -
Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry the boat and help remove any water that may have gotten into small crevices or corners.
-
Spray the bearings, fasteners, and other metal parts with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant.
-
Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil) may continue to drip for a few hours.

Transmitter Battery Installation
This transmitter requires 4 AA batteries (Not Included).
- Remove the battery cover from the transmitter.
- Install the batteries as shown.
- Install the battery cover.
CAUTION: Never remove the transmitter batteries while the model is
powered ON. Loss of model control, damage, or injury may occur.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge only rechargeable
batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries may cause the batteries to
burst, resulting in injury to persons and/ or damage to property.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to national regulations.
Antenna Tube Installation
Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown. Do not bend the end of the
antenna over the antenna tube and place the cap over it. The antenna does not
have to be outside of the tube to operate properly. Keep the end of the
antenna above the boat’s waterline to get the best transmitter reception.
Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired.
NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the receiver antenna or damage may result.
Battery Pack Installation
- Loosen the 4 canopy screws.
- Carefully lift the canopy from the hull.
- Install the battery in the battery tray.
- Connect the battery to the ESC power connectors.
- Before placing your boat in the water, secure the canopy on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired.
TIP: Place the canopy flat onto the hull and secure the two front screws
simultaneously. Then secure the two rear screws simultaneously. This helps
prevent cross threading and damage to the thumbscrews and/or threaded inserts.
TIP: Begin with the batteries as far forward as possible, moving them
back ½ inch (13mm) at a time toward the stern until the boat reaches maximum
speed.
Positioning the Battery Pack
- Toward the Bow: In rough water or strong wind conditions, place the battery toward the front of the battery tray to ensure stability.
- Centered: In smooth water and calm wind, move the battery rearward in the hull to allow the bow to ride higher and increase speed. Be aware that positioning the battery farther aft increases the likelihood of the boat blowing over at speed or becoming unstable.
- Toward the Stern: Positioning the battery toward the back of the battery tray can provide higher top speeds but can cause instability. Experiment with this position only in very calm conditions while closely monitoring the hull’s attitude as you increase speed.
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 the power supplied to the motor.
The boat drastically slows or stops completely once LVC is activated.
Releasing the throttle and reapplying it will provide a limited amount of
power to safely return the boat to shore. Repeated use after LVC is activated
will damage the batteries.
Once LVC has been activated, the ESC status light will flash red continuously
indicating that the ESC is in LVC mode.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the battery.
LVC can activate prematurely if you use (1) low C-rated batteries or (2) old,
worn, and/or weak batteries. The average run time—using the recommended
batteries (SPMX32003S30)—is between 3–4 minutes at non-stop, open throttle.
Limited run time may indicate worn or weak batteries.
TIP: If you’ve installed freshly charged batteries, and LVC activates
within the first minute of operation, replace your worn or weak batteries with
the recommended batteries.
TIP: Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and after boating by
using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to half capacity before storage.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
LVC does not prevent the battery from overdischarge during storage.
Range Check
IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning of each boating
session, after repair, or after installation of a new battery.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
- With the radio system powered on and connected, walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).
- Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper control movement of the steering mechanism in response to your transmitter input.
- If everything appears to be operating correctly, prepare to operate the boat in the water.
Getting Started
-
Power on the transmitter.
IMPORTANT: Verify that the jumpers on the receiver/ESC correctly correspond to the battery chemistry. -
Connect the battery to the IC3 connectors on the receiver/ESC.
-
Power on the receiver/ESC.
-
Test the transmitter’s control of the boat with the boat on the display stand.
When You Are Finished
-
Power off the ESC.
-
Power off the transmitter.
-
Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.
TIP: Always remove the canopy before storage or moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat. -
Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug.
-
Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the water cooling lines and motor cooling block. Carefully dry all battery, motor and receiver connectors by removing one at a time and reinstalling.
-
Remove the hatch before storing your boat.
-
Repair any damage or wear to the boat.
-
Lubricate the flex shaft using Pro Boat® Marine Grease (DYNE4200 or DYNE4201).
-
Note the lessons learned from the trimming of your boat, including water and wind conditions.
-
Replace the rudder cover to protect the rudder’s sharp points.
NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave the boat in direct
sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the
boat.
NOTICE: Using a larger propeller, or one with more pitch than the one
included, may damage the electronics and battery packs.
Self-Righting
The Recoil 2 features an auto self-righting feature. This feature is most effective at or above half power. To engage the self-righting feature:
- Press and hold the CH3 button on your transmitter and the boat will self-right.
- Once the boat has flipped upright, release the CH3 button to resume normal operation. If you are below half power, use the throttle and brake normally to self-right the boat. Pulse the throttle and brake alternatively, and the boat will self-right.
Boating Tips
During the first run, we recommend calm wind and water conditions to ensure
the boat is properly set up. Maximum speeds of 35 MPH/+ can be achieved once
you have set up the boat for your specific conditions. Top speed will also be
determined by the battery’s ability to efficiently deliver power to the motor
via the ESC.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your
boat.
- Carefully place the boat in the water.
- Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of the coolant outlet.
- Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the shore at higher speeds.
- Bring the boat back to shore when the motor starts to pulse.
NOTICE: Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm) of
water.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat by swimming. If you need
to retrieve your boat from the water, use fishing equipment or another boat.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy water, the propeller may
exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the
propeller and drive shaft to some stress. Frequent stress may damage the
propeller and drive shaft.
In rough water and windy conditions, consider:
- mounting the batteries further forward for added stability
- adjusting the struts downward to prevent the boat from overturning Avoid boating near:
- watercraft
- stationary objects
- waves and wakes
- rapidly moving water
- wildlife
- floating debris
- overhanging trees
- vegetation
Maintenance
Propeller Service
- Use an 8mm nut driver to loosen the nut (A) from the driveshaft (B).
- Remove the nut and propeller (C) from the driveshaft.
- Inspect the propeller for any damage or wear and replace it as necessary.
- Assemble in reverse order. Correctly align the propeller with the drive dog on the driveshaft.
Water Cooling System
If water does not stream out of the right-side water outlet while the boat is moving forward, immediately stop the boat and clean the obstruction from the water-cooling system.
- Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to remove the blockage and prevent overheating.
- Replace any damaged parts.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the water cooling exit ports are securely attached
to the outside of the hull. Failure to inspect this can result in excess water
entering the hull.
CAUTION: Running a battery with less than 11.1V will not provide enough
momentum to engage the water-cooling system and will cause damage to the
electronics due to excessive heat.
Flex Shaft Maintenance
Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. This process removes any water from the system, preventing corrosion which leads to higher friction, lower performance, and a shorter product lifespan. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube. Perform flex shaft maintenance after every boating session.
-
Power of the boat, and remove the battery.
-
Using two 10mm wrenches, loosen the flex shaft coupler.
-
Slide the flex shaft toward the rear of the boat.
-
Using a towel or paper towel, remove old lubricant and material.
-
Apply a liberal amount of lubrication to the flex shaft and spread it around the entire shaft. Ensure enough lubrication is on the shaft to prevent any dry areas.
NOTICE: When lubricating the flex shaft, do not lubricate the first 20mm of the flex shaft. If grease gets into the motor coupler, it may cause the flex shaft to slip inside of the coupler, thereby damaging it and requiring replacement. -
Slide the flex shaft into the prop strut and stuffing tube. Rotate it to spread the grease on the inside of the stuffing tube, ensuring that there is a 1–2mm gap between the propeller strut and the drive dog. This will allow space for the shaft as it shrinks under load. Without space, the drive dog could damage the aluminum
propeller strut.
NOTICE: Ensure the flex shaft is installed correctly. Installing the flex shaft incorrectly may result in irreparable damage to the boat. -
Tighten the coupler using two 10mm wrenches.
General Information
Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below:
- Press and hold the AUX 3 button on the transmitter.
- Power ON the transmitter.
- Power ON the receiver. The receiver will flash to indicate automatic binding.
- Restart the transmitter by powering it OFF and then back ON. The LED remains steady, indicating binding is complete.
You must rebind 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 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 servo and ESC 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
will enter this failsafe mode. When the transmitter is powered on, normal
control is resumed.
