5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your RC boat.

• After Each Use:
  • Remove the boat from the water immediately after use.
  • Wipe down the boat with a soft, dry cloth to remove any water or debris.
  • Open the battery compartment and dry any moisture inside. Ensure the compartment is completely dry before closing.
  • Remove the boat battery and store it separately.
• Propeller Maintenance: Regularly check the propeller for any debris (e.g., weeds, fishing line) that may be tangled around it. Clean as necessary. If the propeller is damaged, use the provided wrench to replace it with a spare.
• Seals: Periodically inspect the waterproof seals around the battery compartment and other openings to ensure they are intact and free of cracks or damage. A fully sealed design helps protect internal components from rust.
