5. Setup
5.1 Charging the Battery

- Plug the charger into a power outlet.
- Allow 8-10 hours for a full charge (approximately 4 hours for a 5200mAh battery).
- The boat's battery compartment is enlarged and can accommodate two 5200mAh batteries for extended usage.
5.2 Installing Propellers
Attach the two propellers to the motor shafts at the rear of the boat. Ensure they are securely fastened to prevent detachment during operation.
5.3 Loading Bait Hoppers
The boat features two independent bait hoppers with a total load capacity of approximately 1.5 kg. Open the hopper covers, place your bait inside, and close them securely.
5.4 Remote Control Overview
The remote control features a 2.4GHz transmission frequency for a stable signal up to 500 meters. The LCD screen displays important information such as boat power, GPS signal, positioning points, direction, and distance.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Basic Controls
- Left Joystick: Controls forward/backward movement and turning.
- Right Joystick: Typically used for fine-tuning or specific functions.
- Left/Right Silo Buttons: Independently control the opening and closing of the bait hoppers.
6.2 GPS Positioning and Automatic Cruise
The V900 features a GPS positioning system that can store up to 40 anchor points.
- Setting Anchor Points: Use the 'Anchor Point' buttons (1-4) on the remote to save specific locations. The boat can store up to 40 such points.
- Automatic Navigation: Once anchor points are set, you can use one-click automatic navigation to send the boat to a target point and return to the starting point after baiting.
- Fixed Speed Driving: Engage fixed-speed driving to allow the boat to travel in a straight line at a constant speed, freeing your hands.
6.3 Baiting Operation
To release bait, navigate the boat to your desired location and press the corresponding Left or Right Silo button on the remote control. The hoppers can be controlled independently.
6.4 Night Operation and Steering Lights
The boat is equipped with bright LED navigation lights and steering atmosphere lights to enhance visibility and control during nighttime use.
- Steering Lights: Red light prompts on both sides of the boat correspond to steering commands, helping you identify the boat's direction.
- Searchlight: A bright searchlight aids in identifying the boat's sailing direction from a distance in low light conditions.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
- After each use, wipe down the boat with a clean, damp cloth.
- Ensure all water is removed from the bait hoppers and other compartments.
- Periodically check and clean the propellers to remove any entangled weeds or debris. The dual motor design includes protective covers to minimize entanglement.
7.2 Battery Care
- Always fully charge the battery before storage if it will not be used for an extended period.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery.
7.3 Storage
Store the bait boat and remote control in a dry, safe place when not in use. Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Low Battery Reminder
When the boat's battery is low, the boat's lights will flash, and the remote control will emit an intermittent "di-di" alarm sound. This indicates that you should recall the boat and replace or recharge the battery to prevent loss of control.
8.2 Lost Signal / Automatic Return
If the environment signal becomes unstable or is lost for an extended period, the boat icon on the remote's display will disappear, indicating a loss of control. In such cases, the boat will automatically return to its starting point. If the boat is low on battery or out of range (beyond 500m), it will also automatically return to the starting point.
8.3 Yaw Problem / Speed Fine-tuning
If the boat experiences a yaw problem (drifting off course), use the speed fine-tuning function on the remote control to adjust the motor speed and correct the boat's direction.
9. User Tips
- Range in Different Environments: While the boat has a 500m control distance in unobstructed environments, actual range may vary in areas with interference or dense foliage.
- Night Fishing: The steering lights and searchlight are very useful for night fishing, making it easier to track the boat's position and direction.
- Baiting Strategy: Utilize the 40 GPS anchor points to precisely target multiple fishing spots and return to them for repeated baiting.
- Battery Management: Consider carrying a spare charged battery, especially for longer fishing trips, to maximize usage time.
