General Guidelines
It is important that you read and follow this
instruction manual, along with the Zenoah G26
engine manual, before you run this exciting boat.
Failure to read and understand the manual could
result is personal injury, property damage or
permanent damage to your boat! It is also important
to run your boat responsibly. With proper care and
maintenance, you will be able to proudly enjoy your
Formula Hydro for many years to come.
This boat has been designed to race in an oval path,
just like its full scale counterpart. At high speeds
do not attempt turns to the left, as the boat may
become unstable. If you have to turn left, do so in a
large diameter turn and at slow speeds.
When operating the boat, stay clear of people,
full-scale boats, stationary objects and wildlife. It is
preferable to operate the Formula Hydro in low
wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of
people, wildlife and objects.
If at any time while operating your model you
sense any abnormal function, end your operation
immediately. Do not operate your boat again until
you are certain the problem has been corrected.
Always stay clear of the propeller.

Section 7: Filling the Fuel Tank
Section 10: Starting the Engine
Use only Evolution 2-cycle synthetic oil and gasoline
mixed 32:1 to power the Formula Hydro.
Keep the fuel in a moisture-free environment,
as stale fuel will cause the Zenoah G26M engine
to lose performance.
Section 8: Fuel/Oil Mixture
Parts Needed
Unleaded gasoline
Evolution 2-stroke oil (EVOX1001Q)
Section 9: Range Check the Spektrum Radio System
q 1. Mix gasoline and 2-stroke oil (EVOX1001Q) at
a mixing ratio of 32:1 (gas to oil).
q 2. Remove the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank
with the gasoline and oil mixture. Use a funnel
to prevent spills. If you do spill, be certain to
immediately wipe it up with a clean towel.
Note: The Zenoah G26M
carburetor is factory adjusted to
deliver optimum performance. See
the Zenoah Engine manual for
fine-tuning adjustments and other
helpful information to make your
RC boating experience trouble-free.
Priming the Engine
Press the priming bulb several times until it becomes
filled with fuel. This is not necessary if the engine
has recently been run.
Choking the Engine
Pull-starting the Engine
With an assistant holding the boat to the boat
stand and bracing the engine with one hand, pull
the starting cord briskly several times. Once the
engine fires (begins to start), open the choke.
Prolonged choking will flood the engine with fuel.
See Section 15: Troubleshooting Guide to correct
the flooding condition.
Note: The engine is water-cooled.
Refrain from running the engine
without proper cooling water or
engine damage will result. Carefully
place the boat in the water as soon
as possible after the engine has
been started.
Important
Range check your radio system before the first
run of the Formula Hydro to make certain it is
functioning correctly. Make sure the receiver
antenna is extended properly.
q 1. With the boat in its stand, the radio
system turned on and the transmitter antenna
down, walk 30 paces (90 feet) from the
Pro Boat Formula Hydro.
q 2. Have an assistant remain with the boat
to check for proper control movement
from your transmitter input. When you are
satisfied the radio is functioning properly, you
can continue.
Note: Always perform a range
check prior to operating your boat
after any major repair, installation of
new batteries or at the beginning of
each boating session.
q 3. With your assistant again 90 feet away,
re-start the engine. Quickly repeat the same
range check as above, carefully making sure you
observe proper control movement from your
transmitter input. Make certain you complete
this within 60 seconds to prevent the engine
from overheating. Push the kill switch to stop
the engine. Once you are satisfied your radio
system has passed the range check, you are
ready to start the engine and launch your boat.
Close the choke by rotating the small yellow
tubing extension. This is not necessary if the
engine is warm.

Section 13: Cooling System
Maneuver the Formula Hydro in an oval, turning
only to the right at slow to medium speeds. Make
certain the boat and radio system are functioning
correctly.
As you are running the Formula Hydro in an oval,
watch for water being discharged from the water
outlets on the left side of the hull. Water flowing
from the water outlet indicates the engine is being
properly cooled. If you do not notice any water
coming from the water outlet, bring the boat in and
make sure that the water cooling line or the water
pickup located near the rudder is not clogged.
Section 12: Stopping the Engine
If at anytime you notice the boat and/or radio
system are not functioning correctly, end the
operation of the boat immediately and do not run
the boat again until you are confident the problems
have been corrected.
Water Pump
The water pump is operated from crankcase
pressure. Be sure that water is exiting the 2 water
jackets mounted on the left side of the boat when
the engine is running and the boat is in the water. If
water does not stream out of either the exhaust or
cylinder head cooling ports, immediately stop engine
operation and remove obstructions in the lines or
replace broken cooling lines.
Hint: To test each cooling line
for obstructions or a leak in the
cooling system, place a piece of
tubing over the water inlet tubes
in front of the rudder and blow
into the tube. When testing for
obstructions in the cooling system,
be sure to isolate each system by
pinching the appropriate water lines.
Water-Cooled Cylinder Head and Exhaust
Manifold Cooling Jacket
The exhaust system is cooled independently from
the cylinder head. See line drawings for proper
cooling line routing. Do not alter the cooling line
routing method.
Idle the boat near shore and press the kill switch
located on top of the cockpit as shown.

Section 14: Clutch
Section 16: Maintenance
The centrifugal clutch automatically engages when
the engine rpm is increased. Be sure the idle speed
adjustment is set low enough so that the propeller
does not rotate at idle.
Section 15: Hull Care
Periodically disassemble the clutch and clean debris
from the clutch shoes and the inner clutch bell with
®
DYN5505 Dynamite
Nitro Force.
The Pro Boat Formula Hydro should provide many
hours of exciting high-speed racing fun with just
minor maintenance. Preventative maintenance is
very important. Taking the time to make sure all
of the screws and bolts are properly secured before
each run and after each operation, and regularly
lubricating the flex cable will prevent
many problems.
Replacement parts are available from Pro Boat. See
the back of this manual for specific descriptions and
item numbers.
Items Required
2mm hex wrench
Waterproof grease
Threadlocking compound
It is vitally important to properly lubricate the flex
drive shaft and the propeller shaft with heavy cable
grease every 5–10 hours of operation. You will
also find that it will eventually become necessary to
®
replace the Teflon
liner sleeve of the drive shaft.
At some point, it may also become necessary to
replace the drive shaft (flex cable) as well.
Simply follow the instructions below to properly
lubricate your drive shaft.
q 1. Carefully note how the entire drive shaft is
installed. This is pivotal in order to properly
reassemble the drive shaft after you have
finished lubricating it.
q 2. Loosen and remove the two 2.0mm set
screws that secure the propeller shaft to the
brass ferrule. Remove the prop drive dog and
nylon washer.
q 3. Remove the drive shaft flex cable. Replace the
Teflon liner as needed.
q 4. Lubricate the entire flex cable with waterproof
grease (PRB0100) as shown and then reinstall
the flex cable back through the liner and stuffing
box and into the clutch.
The hull of the Formula Hydro is finished using the highest quality paints and the most advanced
painting methods available. The base coat/clear cote technique delivers an amazing shine that is as durable
as it is beautiful. To keep your Formula Hydro looking new, you should apply a wax coating to the top of
the hull as used on automotive finishes to prevent oxidation and to further protect against damage caused
by fuel and other harmful chemicals. Also, keep boat out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time
to prevent fading.
q 5. Reassemble in reverse order. Make sure the
setscrews are tightened down on the flat spots
of the prop shaft. Also be certain to place a
drop of threadlock on each setscrew before
retightening them.
