Ensure your 12V deep cycle battery is properly charged before each outing. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use and keep terminals clean and free of corrosion.

5. Troubleshooting

• Motor Not Responding: Check battery connections, ensure the remote is paired, and verify the battery charge level.
• Remote Not Pairing: Repeat the pairing procedure (Section 2.5). Ensure the remote battery is functional.
• Reduced Power/Performance: Inspect the propeller for obstructions or damage. Check battery voltage and connections.
