Binding Procedure - PNP Version Only
(Applicable to all Spektrum DSM 2.4GHz marine compatible transmitters)
Required Parts
Fuselage assembly
Transmitter
Bind plug
Binding is connecting a transmitter to a
receiver so the receiver recognizes the
transmitter GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)
code. Binding is necessary for proper
operation.
™
Your model is compatible to a Spektrum
®
or JR
DSM2™/DSMX™-equipped full range
transmitter. Spektrum radios with marine
technology use the following boat icon to
indicate marine use compatibility:
1. Locate the BIND plug. The BIND plug
will fit in the BIND port of the receiver as
shown.
3. Remember to remove the BIND plug
from the receiver BEFORE turning off the
radio system. Once you have completed
binding the transmitter and receiver,
unplug the motor batteries and remove
them from the boat.
Once you have finished programming your
radio, you should re-bind the radio to ensure
the fail-safe positions for the servos are
correct.
Additional Information Regarding Your
Radio System
Before each run, power on the transmitter
and wait about five (5) seconds before moving
the receiver switch to the ON position. When
the receiver is switched on too quickly for the
transmitter to make frequency selection, the
transmitter and receiver may not connect.
When there is no connection, leave the
transmitter powered on, turn off the receiver
switch then turn it back on to power up the
receiver and connect the receiver to the
transmitter.
Activating the ESC
Turn on the transmitter then turn on the ESC.
The radio system is now searching for the
receiver it is bound to. Once located, the LED
on the receiver will illuminate and allow rudder
operation.
2. Follow the procedure as described in
your radio manual for binding the receiver
and transmitter. Check the operation of
the rudder and speed control using the
radio system.
Engaging the Motor
Turn the ESC off then on again. The ESC will
beep until you pull the throttle trigger to full
throttle and return it to the neutral position.
7
4. Turn on the transmitter, then the ESC
on/off switch. The ESC will beep until you
pull the throttle trigger to full throttle and
return it to the neutral position. Check the
operation of the propeller in relationship
to the throttle trigger. When the trigger
is pulled in, the propeller must rotate
counterclockwise as shown. If the motor
turns in the wrong direction, switch any 2
motor wires.
5. Check the operation of the steering in
relationship to the steering wheel. When
the wheel is rotated clockwise, the rudder
must move right as shown. If not, follow
the instructions from the radio to set the
servo reversing for the steering.
6. Place the clear battery cover back into
position. We suggest using clear tape
(PRB0102) around the edge of the main
hatch to keep it in place in the event of a
roll over.

Handling Adjustments
Required Equipment and Accessories
Hex wrench: 3mm
Open-end wrench: 7mm
Changing the Center of Gravity
Moving the batteries to the front or back can
significantly affect the boat's performance. As
a starting point, the center of gravity of the
boat should be 30% (9-inches or 228mm)
from the rear of the boat.
A: Move the batteries toward the rear of the
boat to raise the front of the hull out of the
water for increased speed.
B: Move the batteries toward the front of
the boat for faster initial acceleration,
to eliminate oscillation or bouncing and
increase stability.
A
Raising the drive helps eliminate oscillation or
bouncing and assist with top end stability but
excessively raising the drive can reduce top
speeds and cause cavitation.
Use a 3mm hex wrench and 7mm open-end
wrench to loosen the bolt that attaches the
output to the bracket to adjust the height.
B
Drive Height
The center of the propeller shaft should be just
about to the bottom of the sponsons. Lowering
the drive will increase the propeller's ability
to bite at take off but excessive lowering can
cause the back of the boat to feel loose and
decrease top end stability.
Lubricating the drive system is vital to the life
of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a
water seal, keeping water from entering the
hull through the stuffing box.
Lubricate the drive shaft, propeller shaft
and all moving parts after every 2–3 hours
of operation.
1. Use two 10mm open-end wrenches to
loosen the ferrule that secures the flex
shaft to the motor.
3. Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol
to clean the flex shaft.
4. Apply a waterproof marine grease to
the flex shaft. We recommend the Pro
Boat marine grease available at your local
hobby dealer.
2. Remove the flex shaft by pulling it out
of the stuffing box by the propeller.
5. Reverse the previous steps to reinstall
the flex drive. Check that there is a
slight gap of 1/32-inch (1mm) between
the stuffing box and propeller mount as
shown.
