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 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.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

IMPORTANT: The receiver/ESC must be in LiPo mode to safely operate the boat under LiPo power. Please refer to the receiver/ESC manual for more information.
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage your battery. The included receiver/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. Power to the motor decreases, showing some power is reserved for the boat to return safely to shore. Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po

Battery Installation

1. Apply the included hook and loop tape to the battery. Do not cover the battery warning label.
   • Tip: Clean the battery pack with motor spray or rubbing alcohol and clean cloth before installing hook and loop tape so adhesive can stick better.

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.

Retrieval Arms

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 member, taking into consideration the size of the boat you need to retrieve. Repeat this step on the other side.
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.

Optional Water Cannon Pump

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.

   • IMPORTANT: Verify that the jumpers on the receiver/ESC correctly corresponds to the battery chemistry.
2. Connect the battery to the IC3 connectors on the receiver/ESC.
3. Power on the receiver/ESC.
4. Test the transmitter’s control of the boat with the boat on the display stand.

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.

1. With the radio system powered on and connected, walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).
2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper control movement of the steering mechanism in response to your transmitter input.
3. If everything appears to be operating correctly, prepare to operate the boat in the water.

Testing Your Boat in the Water

Tip: Before placing your boat in the water, secure the hatches on the hull.

1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the shore.
3. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the ST TRIM dial on the transmitter.
4. Inspector adjust the servo travel, remove the middle hatch (servo) and the rear hatch (bell crank).
   • NOTICE: Ensure that the steering servo is not operating the boat’s steering mechanism father than physically possible or damage may occur to the servo and moving parts.
5. Turn down the ST RATE on the transmitter if you want to reduce steering throw while you get used to your model.
6. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the boat starting to lose speed.
7. Power off the receiver/ESC and disconnect the battery.
8. Allow the motor, receiver/ESC and battery to cool before charging the battery or operating the boat again.

• NOTICE: Do not turn off the transmitter first, or the receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of control.
• IMPORTANT: Inspect the moving parts for signs of wear.

Boating Tips

When running your boat for the first time, we recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.

Avoid boating near:

• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• waves, wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation

CAUTION:

• Never operate your boat in extreme temperatures or turbulent water. boat by swimming to retrieve it.
• Never operate your boat in less than 3 inches (7.6 cm) of water.

Retrieval Tips

• Use a 3S battery to provide maximum power when retrieving larger boats.
• Drive past the boat you want to retrieve and line up the capture by driving back, providing a better line of sight between the tug boat, the disabled boat, and you.
• Use a slower speed to capture a disabled boat. This prevents overturning the disabled boat when it is sitting low in the water.

Motor Care

• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in rough water or vegetation and boating continuously at high speed.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from pushing against heavy resistance.
• Lubrication is important to prevent motor damage. If your motor gets wet, lubricate the busings supporting the motor shaft with light-duty machine oil. Failure to do so can cause the motor shaft to seize against the motor bushings.

CAUTION: Do not touch the motor until it has had time to cool. It can become extremely hot when in use.

When You Are Finished

1. Power off the receiver/ESC.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.

Tip: Always remove the hatches before storage or moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat. If you wish to display your boat, you can reinstall the hatches once it is dry.

Drive Shaft Maintenance

Quick Service
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. Lubricate the drive shaft, propeller strut and all moving parts after 30 minutes of operation.

1. Open the main cabin hatch.
2. Locate the grease fitting just aft of the propeller shaft coupler.
3. Attach the included silicone fuel tubing to the grease fitting.
4. Apply a few pumps of grease onto the fitting, using a Dynamite grease gun (DYNE4200).

Tip: Use paper towel to clean up excess marine grease.

Full Service

1. Use a 1.5mm hex driver to loosen the propeller setscrew.
2. Hold the motor coupler to prevent the driveshaft from spinning, and loosen the propeller by spinning it counterclockwise.
3. Use a 1.5mm hex key to loosen the driveshaft from the motor coupler.
4. Turn the Kort nozzle so the drive shaft can be pulled through it and toward the rear of the boat.
5. Clean the shaft using paper towels and rubbing alcohol.
6. Lubricate the full length of the shaft using marine grease (DYNE4201).
7. Assemble in reverse order.
   Tip: Use a paper towel to clean up excess marine grease.

NOTICE:

• Running the boat in saltwater could cause some parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the drive system.
• Because of its corrosive effects, running RC boats in saltwater is at the discretion of the modeler.

Propeller Service

1. Use a 1.5mm driver to loosen the propeller setscrew.
2. Back off the 5.5mm nut from the propeller by turning the nut clockwise.
3. Hold the driveshaft to prevent it from spinning, and loosen the propeller by turning it counterclockwise.
4. Assemble in reverse order.

Tip: You may need to turn the kort nozzle in order to fully remove the propeller from the shaft.

Rudder Trim
If the boat does not go straight, adjust the ST TRIM button on the transmitter. If you are using all the steering trim on your transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To do this:

1. Remove the center and rear hatches.
2. Loosen the setscrews on the servo horn.
3. Center the kort nozzle by hand.
4. Tighten the steering linkage on the servo horn.
