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. 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.

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.

Powering On the Boat

1. Power ON the transmitter.
2. Connect the battery lead to the IC5 connector in the boat.
3. Power ON the receiver by sliding the receiver switch to ON.
4. Reinstall the hatch.
5. With the boat still on the display stand, test the transmitter control of the boat and complete a range check of the controls.

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.
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) a low C-rated battery or (2) an old, worn, and/or weak battery.
The average run time using the recommended battery (SPMX54S100H5) is approximately 5–7 minutes, depending on throttle usage. Limited run time may indicate worn or weak batteries.
TIP : If you’ve installed a freshly charged battery 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 over-discharge during storage.

Controlling the LED Lights

Use the switch located inside the hull to power ON/OFF the LED lights on the boat.
Custom Radio Controlled On/Off LEDs
Using a custom transmitter and a 4-CH receiver, plug the LED lights into CH4 of the transmitter. Use CH4 to power ON/OFF the LED lights from the transmitter.

1. Remove the shrink tubing from the yellow signal wire to expose the pin.
2. Slide the pin into the servo connector.
3. Plug into the 4th channel.
4. Leave the switch in the ON position. The lights are now controlled by the custom transmitter.

Boating Tips

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.
During the first run, we recommend calm wind and water conditions to ensure that the boat is properly set up. Top speed will be determined by the battery’s ability to efficiently deliver power to the motor via the ESC.

1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. 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.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the shore at higher speeds.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when the motor starts to pulse.

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 : Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm) of water.
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
Avoid boating near:

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

When You Are Finished
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.

1. Power OFF the receiver.

2. Power OFF the transmitter.

3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.

4. Drain any water from the inside of the hull by removing the hatch and rotating the boat upside down.

5. Remove the drain plug to remove any water left over. Remove any remaining water with a dry towel.

6. Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat. Carefully dry all battery, motor and receiver connectors by removing one at a time and reinstalling.

7. Remove the hatch before storing your boat.
   TIP : Removing the hatch before storage will prevent mold and mildew from growing in the boat.

8. Repair any damage or wear to the boat.

9. Lubricate the shafts using light weight oil to prevent premature wear. Make sure to place a few drops on the shaft just before the stuffing tubes.

Binding
Binding is the process of electronically linking the transmitter to the receiver. The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If rebinding is necessary, follow these steps:
NOTICE : Always keep all body parts, loose clothing and other items away from the propellers.
IMPORTANT : If using an external receiver, follow the binding instructions included with that receiver.

1. Ensure the vessel is secure in the included stand.
2. Insert the bind plug into the bind port on the receiver.
3. Power on the boat.
4. Power on the SLT3 transmitter to bind it to the boat.
5. Remove the bind plug before operation.

Installing the Optional ESC
The Jestream has optional 120A ESC capacity in order to provide an upgrate path to Smart Technology® while using either a Spektrum SR315 or Spektrum SR 515 reciever. Both the stock 100A ESC as well as an optional 120A ESC can be mounted in the hull.

1. Remove the stock ESC.
2. Unfold the optional ESC mounting peg.
3. Install the optional 120A ESC (SPMXE1120) using the two stainless steel screws from the stock ESC.
4. Install the optional 120A ESC (SPMXE1120) power switch on the open switch mount on the boat’s starboard side.

NOTE : Modification to the ESC is required to work with the IC5 holder and single battery connector. Soldering and electrical knowledge is required.

Maintenance

Drivetrain Lubrication

• Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result.
• Lubricating the driveshaft 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.

Replacing the Impeller and Wear Ring
We recommend replacing the impeller and wear ring if you notice wear or vibration in the drive line.

1. Use the hatch handle to open the battery cover hatch.

2. Remove the top screws on the jet nozzle while holding the nut using a wrench or pair of hemostats.

3. Lower the reverse gate nozzle to full reverse, and remove the ball linkage screw.

4. Remove the cooling line from the jet pump nozzle.

5. Remove the remaining screws securing the jet pump nozzle. TIP: Use a 2mm ball end to remove the screw behind the cooling inlet port.

6. Loosen the rudder quick link from the servo horn, and loosen the jet nozzle trim from the quick link.

7. Remove the jet pump nozzle, reverse bucket, and linkages together as a unit.

8. Loosen the set screw on the motor coupler that leads to the impeller.

9. Using a pair of needle nose pliers or hemostats, pull the impeller and shaft from the jet pump.

10. Replace the wear ring by pulling it out toward the back of the boat.
    NOTICE : The wear ring and impeller may be sharp. Use gloves to prevent scrapes and/or cuts.

11. Apply a generous amount of marine grease to the stuffing tube and impeller shaft to lubricate them.
    TIP : We recommend the Dynamite® grease gun (DYNE4200) and a piece of fuel tubing or cooling line to make this process easier.

12. Reassemble and reinstall the wear ring and impeller in reverse order. Pull the bellows through the jet nozzle before securing the screws to insure a water tight fit. The bellows lip should rest on the outside of the jet nozzle.

Water Cooling System
If water does not stream out of the water outlet while the boat is moving forward under power, immediately stop the boat and clear the obstruction from the water-cooling system.

1. Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to remove blockage and prevent overheating.
2. Replace any damaged parts.

IMPORTANT : Ensure that the water cooling exit ports are securely attached. Failure to inspect them can result in excess water entering the hull.
CAUTION : Water cooling happens only when the jet pump is pushing water. Do not leave the boat stationary for long periods of time as it can cause excessive heat and cause damage to the electronics.

Adjusting the Trim Tabs

1. Loosen the locking nuts.
2. Adjust the trim tab by rotating the turnbuckle.
3. Relock the nuts.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for the other trim tab.

Replacing the Trim Tabs

1. Remove the rear water cooling tube.
2. Use a 2.0mm driver, and 5.5mm wrench to remove the 4 machine screws and nuts attaching the trim tab mounting plate to the hull.
3. Clean any debris from the hull surface.
