8. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Boat does not move.	Boat not in water; battery low/not connected; remote not paired; propeller obstructed.	Place boat in water; charge/connect battery; re-pair remote; clear propeller.
Loss of control/short range.	Low remote battery; interference; boat too far.	Replace remote batteries; move to a different location; operate within range (approx. 394ft).
Water inside battery compartment.	Battery cover not sealed properly.	Immediately remove battery, dry compartment and components thoroughly. Ensure proper sealing before next use.
Boat capsizes frequently.	Operating in rough water; excessive speed in turns.	Operate in calmer water; reduce speed during turns. The self-righting feature should correct it.
