5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Remote Control Overview
The smart remote control features an LCD display that provides real-time information such as boat power, compass direction, current boat direction, and the distance to the set positioning points. Use the joysticks and buttons to control the boat's movement and functions.
5.2 Basic Movement
Use the left joystick to control forward/backward movement and the right joystick to control left/right steering. Practice in calm waters to familiarize yourself with the controls.
5.3 GPS Positioning and Anchor Points
The V900 can store up to 40 fishing points. To set an anchor point, navigate the boat to the desired location and follow the instructions on the remote control's LCD display to save the point. You can then use the one-key direct access feature to send the boat to any saved point or activate the one-click automatic cruise function to have the boat navigate between multiple fixed points.
5.4 Bait Release
The boat is equipped with dual independently controlled bait tanks. Load your bait into the silos. Use the designated buttons on the remote control to open and close each silo, releasing bait precisely at your desired location.
5.5 Night Light Operation
The boat features strong night lights and cool two-color atmosphere lights on both sides. These lights increase visibility and help you clearly locate the boat's position from a long distance, even at night, or in rainy and foggy conditions. Use the remote control to activate and manage the lights as needed.
5.6 Automatic Return Functions
The V900 is equipped with multiple automatic return features:
- Low Battery Return: When the boat's battery is too low, the boat's ambient lights will flash, and the remote control will emit an alarm. The boat will automatically return to its starting point.
- Lost Signal Return: If the remote control signal is lost for a prolonged period, the boat will automatically return to its starting point.
- Over Distance Return: If the boat travels beyond the 500-meter control distance, it will automatically return to the starting point.
5.7 Fixed Speed Driving / Automatic Correction
The boat features a fixed-speed driving mode and a built-in gyroscope for automatic correction. This intelligently corrects the boat's speed and yaw to ensure it runs straight and at a uniform speed, even under the influence of wind, waves, or when loaded with bait.
5.8 Electronic Fence Protection
In a low power state, the boat cannot sail beyond 150 meters from its starting point. This electronic fence acts as a safety measure to prevent the boat from being lost due to insufficient power to return.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Flytec V900 bait boat.
6.1 Cleaning
- After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the boat thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt, dirt, or debris.
- Wipe the boat dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Ensure the bait silos are clean and free of residue.
6.2 Battery Care
- Always fully charge the boat 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.
- Remove batteries from the remote control if not in use for a long time to prevent leakage.
- Avoid overcharging or over-discharging the Li-Po battery to prolong its lifespan.
6.3 Propeller Inspection
- Regularly inspect the propellers for any fishing line, weeds, or other debris that may have become entangled.
- Carefully remove any obstructions to ensure the propellers can rotate freely.
- Check for any damage to the propellers and replace them if necessary.
6.4 Waterproofing
The boat features a double-layer waterproof ring design for efficient waterproofing. Periodically inspect all seals and covers to ensure they are intact and properly seated. Do not operate the boat if any seals appear damaged or compromised.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Flytec V900, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Boat not responding to remote control | Low battery in boat or controller; Signal interference; Not paired correctly; Power switch off. | Charge/replace batteries. Move to an area with less interference. Re-pair the boat and controller. Ensure both power switches are ON. |
| GPS positioning is inaccurate | Poor GPS signal (e.g., cloudy weather, obstructions); Needs calibration. | Operate in open areas with clear sky. Perform automatic calibration as per manual instructions. |
| Bait not releasing from silos | Silo mechanism obstructed; Bait too large or sticky; Mechanical issue. | Check silos for debris or tangled lines. Use appropriate bait size/type. If issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Boat returns unexpectedly | Low boat battery; Lost signal; Exceeded control distance. | This is an automatic safety feature. Check battery level and signal strength. Ensure operation within 500m range. |
| Boat not moving straight | Strong wind/waves; Propeller entanglement; Needs automatic correction. | Activate fixed-speed driving/automatic correction. Check propellers for debris. Avoid operating in excessively strong currents or winds. |
