Water-resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics

Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant
components to allow you to operate the product in calm, fresh water conditions.

While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated like
a submarine. The various electronic components used in the boat, such as the Electronic Speed Control (ESC), servo(s)
and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the mechanical components are water-resistant and require additional
maintenance after use.

Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and nuts, propeller, rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts, as well as
the contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to corrosion if additional maintenance is not performed after
running in wet conditions. To maximize the long-term performance of your boat and to keep the warranty intact, the
procedures described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance” section below must be performed regularly.

CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and complying with the following precautions
could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.

General Precautions

• Read through the wet conditions maintenance
procedures and make sure that you have all the tools
you will need to properly maintain your boat.

• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions.
Consult the battery manufacturer before use. Caution
should be taken when using Li-Po batteries in wet
conditions.

• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult
your transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before
operation.

• Never operate your transmitter or boat where
lightning may be present.

• Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive.
If you choose to run your boat in salt water,
immediately rinse the boat in fresh water after every
use. Operating your boat in salt water is at the sole
discretion of the modeler.

• Even minimal water contact can reduce the life of
your motor if it has not been certified as water­resistant or waterproof. If the motor becomes
excessively wet, apply very light throttle until the
water is mostly removed from the motor. Running a
wet motor at high speeds may rapidly damage the
motor.

• Driving in wet conditions can reduce the life of the
motor. The additional resistance of operating in water
causes excess strain.

Wet Conditions Maintenance

• Drain any water that has collected in the hull by
removing the drain plug or canopy and tilting the boat
in the appropriate direction to drain the water.

CAUTION: Always keep hands, fingers, tools and
any loose or hanging objects away from rotating

parts.

• Remove the battery pack(s) and disconnect the
ESC and motor. Dry the contacts. If you have an air
compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out
any water that may be inside the recessed connector
housings.

• Remove the flex shaft and all moving parts. Dry and
lubricate parts after every 30 minutes of operation or
if the boat becomes submerged.

NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean
your boat.

• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air
to dry the boat and help remove any water that may
have gotten into small crevices or corners.

• Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts
with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant. Do not
spray the motor.

• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil)
may continue to drip for a few hours.

EN

Installing the Battery Pack

1. Loosen the 2 screws on the rear of the canopy.

2. Carefully lift the rear of the canopy and pull back to

disengage the 2 front pins from the hull.

3. Install the battery in the compartment. Secure it with
the hook and loop straps. If running your boat in
rougher water conditions, the use of Waterproof Hook
and Loop Tape (DYNK0300) may also be needed to
fully secure the battery.

4. Connect the battery pack to the ESC power
connector.

Tip: Move the packs forward or back to adjust the
center of gravity for your boat. Move the packs toward
the bow so the bow rides lower in the water. Move
the packs away from the bow so that the bow rides
higher in the water.

Antenna Tube Installation

Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown.
Keep the end of the antenna above the boat’s

waterline to get the best transmitter reception.
Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired.

NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the
receiver antenna or damage may
result.

Trim Tab Adjustment

Tip: Ensure the trim tab panels are either perpendicular

to or parallel to the bottom of the boat.

You may desire to bend the trim tabs for wind and water
conditions. To adjust the angle of the trim tabs, use a
large pair of pliers to bend the tabs. This must be done
carefully so that you do not damage the hull.

EN

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may
damage your battery.The included ESC protects the boat
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much,
LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to
the motor pulses, showing that some battery power is
reserved for boat control and safe landing.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over­discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.

Tip: Monitor your boat battery's voltage before and
after boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker
(DYN4071, sold separately).

Battery Chemistry

The ESC comes from the factory in Li-Po Mode. To
change battery chemistry:

1. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.

2. Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the

power switch for 3 seconds. The LED flashes the
current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH or Ni-Cd,
green = Li-Po).

3. Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button
for another 6 seconds. The ESC changes battery
chemistry and the LED flashes the new battery
chemistry.

4. Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until
it is changed.

On/Off Switch

Getting Started

1. Power on the transmitter. Ensure the throttle is not
reversed and the throttle trim is neutral.

2. Connect the battery to the ESC.

3. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.

The ESC automatically calibrates the throttle range
after 3 seconds. A beep will sound, indicating battery
chemistry and cell count:

• 1 beep: Ni-MH or Ni-Cd

• 2 beeps: 2S Li-Po

• 3 beeps: 3S Li-Po

One short beep will sound when the ESC is ready
to run.

4. Test the transmitter’s control of the boat with the
boat on the display stand.

Range Check

IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning

of each boating session, after repair or after installation
of new batteries.

Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all
batteries are fully charged.

1. With the radio system powered on and connected,
walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).

2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the rudder in response to
your transmitter input.

3. If everything appears to be operating correctly,
prepare to operate the boat in the water.

NOTICE: Do not operate the motor without water
cooling circulation or damage may result.

Testing Your Boat in the Water

Tip: Before placing your boat in the water, secure the

canopy on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if
desired.

1. Carefully place the boat in the water.

2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.

Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the
boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of
the coolant outlet. Remove any blockage from the
rudder inlet and coolant system or the motor and ESC
(electronic speed control) may overheat.

3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore.

4. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering
trim dial on the transmitter.

Tip: If you are using too much steering trim on your
transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the
trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder.
To do this, remove the ball link from the rudder horn,
then turn the ball link on the linkage threads until the
rudder is properly centered. Use needle-nose pliers or
ball link pliers (RVO1005) to remove or install a link on
a control horn.

5. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the
boat starting to lose speed.

6. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery pack.

7. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before

charging the battery or operating the boat again.

NOTICE: Do not turn off the transmitter first or the
receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of
control.

Boating Tips

When running your boat for the first time, we
recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you
can learn how the boat responds to your control.

Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water
conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp
turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is
moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and
water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to pilot your boat.

Avoid boating near:

• watercraft

• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)

• stationary objects

• waves, wakes

• rapidly moving water

• wildlife

• floating debris

• overhanging trees

• vegetation

If the propeller and rudder are blocked with debris or
vegetation, remove the boat from the water and remove
the debris before continuing operation.

When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the
probability of flipping the boat over.

Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm)
of water.

If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use
fishing equipment or another boat.

NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters,
the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and
very quickly, subjecting the propeller and flex shaft to
some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller
and flex shaft.

CAUTION: Never operate your boat in extreme
temperatures or turbulent water.

CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed
boat by swimming.

When you are Finished

1. Power off the receiver.

2. Power off the transmitter.

3. Disconnect and remove the

battery from the boat.

Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or
moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in
the boat.

EN

• Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug

• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including

the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor

• Remove the hatch before storing your boat

• Repair any damage or wear to the boat

• Lubricate the flex shaft using Pro Boat Marine Grease

(PRB0100)

• Make note of lessons learned from the trimming of
your boat, including water and wind conditions

Tip: The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water.
To dry them, press on them with a dry cloth.

NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave the
boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as
a car. Doing so can damage the boat.

After Boating and Maintenance

Motor Care

• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating
conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent
turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in
rough water or vegetation and boating continuously at
high speed.

• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to
prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor
from pushing against heavy resistance.

Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific transmitter. The included transmitter and
receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind,
follow the instructions below.

1. Power off the transmitter and ESC.

2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.

3. Power on the ESC. The RED LED on the ESC flashes.

4. Press the bind button (A) on the receiver.

The RED LED on the ESC flashes rapidly.

5. Power on the transmitter.

6. The RED LED on the ESC turns solid when

the radio system is bound.

You must rebind when binding the
receiver to a different transmitter.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and
receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in
bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in
unexpected binding.

Failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost
during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their pre
programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and
straight steering).

If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode.
When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is
resumed.

Rudder Service

1. Disconnect the water tube from the rudder.

2. Remove the linkage from the rudder arm with Ball Link

Pliers.

3. Turn the rudder and loosen the set screw from the
rudder pin.

4. Turn over the boat and lightly tap the rudder to
remove the pin.

5. Assemble in reverse order.

Propeller Service

1. Use an 8mm nut driver (DYN2805) to loosen the nut
from the driveshaft.

2. Remove the nut and propeller from the driveshaft.

3. Assemble in reverse order. Correctly align the

propeller with the drive dog on the driveshaft.

Prop Angle Adjustment

NOTICE: Raise or lower the drive strut small amounts.

Raising or lowering the strut may damage the hull
around the stuffing tube.

Raising the drive strut increases speed, but also
decreases steering response and increases cavitation.

Lowering the drive strut increases steering response, but
also increases steering sensitivity and decreases speed.

1. Loosen the nuts and bolts from the drive strut on the
rear of the boat.

2. Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of the
propeller in relation to the hull.

3. Adjust as desired and tighten the nuts and bolts.

Water Cooling System

If water does not stream out of the water outlets while
the boat is moving forward, immediately stop the boat
and clean the obstruction from the water cooling system.

1. Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to
remove blockage and prevent overheating.

2. Replace damaged parts.

ShockWave™ 26

12

EN

Drivetrain Lubrication

Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are
damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may
result.

Lubricating the flex shaft 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 tube.

Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every
30 minutes of operation. Lubricate the drive strut after
every 90 minutes of operation.

1. In the hull, use a 10mm open-end wrench to loosen
the collet nut from the flex shaft.

2. Slide the flex shaft out from the stuffing tube and
drive strut at the rear of the boat.

Tip: Use paper or cloth to touch the flex shaft and other
lubricated parts.

3. Wipe the old lubricant and material from the flex
shaft.

4. Lubricate the full length of the flex shaft assembly
up to the drive dog using marine grease (PRB0101 or
PRB0100). Also apply grease to the collet threads.

5. Carefully reinstall the flex shaft in the drive strut,
stuffing tube and collet. If the flex shaft is difficult to
remove or install in the collet, use a flat screwdriver to
spread the grips of the collet.

Ensure there is a 1–2mm gap between the drive strut and
drive dog to allow for flex shaft shrinkage under load.

NOTICE: Running the boat in saltwater could cause some
parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse it
thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the
drive system.

NOTICE: Because of its corrosive effects, running RC
boats in saltwater is at the discretion of the modeler.

Inspection or Services

If this Product needs to be inspected or serviced and is
compliant in the country you live and use the Product in,
please use the Horizon Online Service Request submission
process found on our website or call Horizon to obtain a
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Pack
the Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note
that original boxes may be included, but are not designed
to withstand the rigors of shipping without additional
protection. Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and
insurance for lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is not
responsible for merchandise until it arrives and is accepted
at our facility. An Online Service Request is available
at http://www.horizonhobby.com/content/_service­center_render-service-center. If you do not have internet
access, please contact Horizon Product Support to obtain
a RMA number along with instructions for submitting
your product for service. When calling Horizon, you will
be asked to provide your complete name, street address,
email address and phone number where you can be
reached during business hours. When sending product
into Horizon, please include your RMA number, a list of
the included items, and a brief summary of the problem.
A copy of your original sales receipt must be included for
warranty consideration. Be sure your name, address, and
RMA number are clearly written on the outside of the
shipping carton.

NOTICE: Do not ship LiPo batteries to Horizon. If you
have any issue with a LiPo battery, please contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Warranty Requirements

For Warranty consideration, you must include your original
sales receipt verifying the proof-of-purchase date. Provided
warranty conditions have been met, your Product will be
serviced or replaced free of charge. Service or replacement
decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service

Should your service not be covered by warranty, service
will be completed and payment will be required without
notification or estimate of the expense unless the expense
exceeds 50% of the retail purchase cost. By submitting
the item for service you are agreeing to payment of
the service without notification. Service estimates are
available upon request. You must include this request with
your item submitted for service. Non-warranty service
estimates will be billed a minimum of ½ hour of labor.
In addition you will be billed for return freight. Horizon
accepts money orders and cashier’s checks, as well as
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards.
By submitting any item to Horizon for service, you are
agreeing to Horizon’s Terms and Conditions found on our
website http://www.horizonhobby.com/content/_service­center_render-service-center.

ATTENTION: Horizon service is limited to Product
compliant in the country of use and ownership.

If received, a non-compliant Product will not be
serviced. Further, the sender will be responsible for
arranging return shipment of the un-serviced Product,
through a carrier of the sender’s choice and at the
sender’s expense. Horizon will hold non-compliant
Product for a period of 60 days from notification, after
which it will be discarded.
