- Steering Reverse/Throttle Reverse: Reverses control direction if needed.
4. Pairing the Boat and Transmitter
The boat and transmitter are designed to pair automatically when both are powered on and the boat is placed in water. Ensure the boat is in the water before attempting to operate it.
Operating Instructions
1. Pre-Launch Checks
- Ensure all batteries are fully charged.
- Verify the boat's top cover is securely fastened to prevent water ingress.
- Choose a suitable body of water (pool, lake, or river) free from excessive debris or strong currents.
2. Launching the Boat
Place the boat gently onto the water surface. The boat's propeller will only activate when it detects contact with water, a safety feature to prevent accidental injury.
3. Basic Controls
- Forward/Reverse: Use the throttle trigger to control the boat's speed and direction. Push forward for acceleration, pull back for reverse.
- Steering: Turn the steering wheel left or right to navigate the boat.
4. Advanced Features
- Self-Righting Function: The boat is designed with a self-righting hull. If it capsizes, simply apply throttle and steer, and it should automatically flip back upright.
- Water Cooling System: The boat features a water-cooling system to maintain optimal motor temperature during high-speed operation.
- Low Voltage Protection: When the battery voltage is low, the boat's speed will automatically reduce to 30% of its usual speed, allowing you time to return it to shore.

Maintenance
- After Each Use: Always remove the boat from the water and thoroughly dry the exterior.
- Check for Water Ingress: Open the top cover and inspect the interior for any signs of water. If water is present, dry it completely and ensure all seals are properly seated before next use.
- Propeller Care: Regularly check the propeller for any debris (e.g., seaweed, fishing line) that may hinder its performance. Use the provided spare propeller if the original becomes damaged.
Troubleshooting
- Boat Not Responding / Lights Only: Ensure the boat is placed in water. The propeller is designed to activate only when submerged. Check battery connections and charge levels for both the boat and transmitter.
- Propeller Issues: If the propeller is not spinning or is making unusual noises, check for obstructions. If damaged, replace it with the spare propeller.
- Short Battery Life: Ensure batteries are fully charged. Battery life can vary based on usage intensity and environmental factors. Consider purchasing additional batteries for extended play.
- Boat Capsizing: The boat features a self-righting hull. If it flips, apply throttle and steer to allow it to self-correct.
