Introduction

It is important thaat you read and

follow this instruction manual before

you run this exciting boat. Failure to

read and understand the manual could

result in 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 Motor Lifeboat for many years

to come.

When operating the boat, stay clear of

people, full-scale boats, stationary objects

and wildlife. It is preferable to operate

the Motor Lifeboat in low-wake, low-wind

conditions and in areas free of people,

wildlife and objects.

Before you operate your model, make

sure your frequency is clear. If someone

is operating on the same frequency, both

models could go out of control, possibly

causing damage to the models or to

others. Check all of the hardware and the

propeller for damage and loose screws

before and after each run.

You will need to purchase the following to get your boat on the water:

• 8 AA alkaline batteries for the radio transmitter

• 6-cell 3300mAh Ni-MH battery pack (DYN1185) (2)

• Charger for motor batteries (DYN4033)

• Medium CA

• Soldering iron w/solder

• Ballast weight (up to 35 oz)

Carefully remove the boat, radio

transmitter, battery and charger from the

box. Inspect all items to make sure no

damage is present. If you notice damage

is present, please contact the hobby shop

where you purchased your model.

General Guidelines

Additional Required Items

Inspection

Before you start running your new Motor

Lifeboat, it is absolutely necessary that

you read through all of the operating

instructions to prevent unnecessary

damage and get the maximum enjoyment

from your boat.

Charging the Motor Battery

Plug the battery charger into a standard

110/120V AC wall outlet or 12-volt DC

depending on the type of charger used.

Connect a fully discharged battery to the

charge plug.

Change the battery according to the

instructions provided with the charger.

Do not leave the battery pack unattended

while charging or serious damage or fire

may occur.

• Assembled Motor Lifeboat RTR

• Pro Boat radio transmitter

• Boat stand

Contents

Getting Started

Remove the transmitter battery cover by

sliding the cover from top to bottom.

Install eight (8) AA batteries into the

transmitter. Pay close attention to the

correct direction of the positive (+) and

negative (-) ends as marked.

Install the battery cover by sliding it on

from bottom to top.

Installing the Transmitter Batteries

Add up to 35 oz of weight (ballast) to the

hull as shown until the boat rides level in

the water with the black painted part of

the hull.

Note: We used pennies wrapped

in clear plastic as ballast. A roll of

pennies weigh 5.0 oz.

Once the batteries are charged, apply

the supplied hook and loop tape to

the batteries.

Attach the remaining hook and loop to

the hull as shown.

Install the battery packs into the hull

as shown. Batteries are located on the

left and right sides of the hull.

Confirm the receiver switch has been set

to the "OFF" position at this time.

Plug the connectors from battery packs to

the connectors from the ESC.

Installing the Motor Batteries

Check to make sure the propellers

are free from any objects. The first

time you turn on your Motor Lifeboat the

motors may start, and any objects near

the propellers, or even the propellers,

may become damaged.

Always turn on the transmitter first

by sliding the switch on the front of

the transmitter from left to right. The

small red and green lights on the front

of the transmitter should both light up.

If not, you need to check for low or

incorrectly installed batteries.

Checking the Throttle Operation

Once the transmitter has been turned

on, turn on the Motor Lifeboat by sliding

the switch on the speed controller to the

“On” position.

If the propellers spin, adjust the Throttle

Trim lever located next to the throttle

stick until the propellers stop.

Give a small amount of throttle input

by moving the throttle stick toward the

top of the transmitter to ensure that the

motors are working.

To test reverse speed operation, wait

for the model to stop then move the

throttle stick toward the bottom of

the transmitter. Once everything is

functioning correctly, you are ready to

check the operation of the steering.

Checking the Radio System

Checking the Steering Operation

With your Motor Lifeboat and transmitter

on, move the steering stick to the right

to make the rudders move to the right to

incur a right turn. Conversely, when left

input is given, the rudders will move to

the left.

It may be necessary to adjust the

Steering Trim so the rudders are centered

prior to operation. You may also need to

fine-tune the steering trim to make sure

the boat runs straight during operation.

This can only be accomplished when

operating the boat in the water and is

detailed in a following section.

After you have completed checking your

radio system, turn the Motor Lifeboat

receiver off FIRST by sliding the switch to

the “OFF” position. After the model has

been turned off, turn off the transmitter.

Turning off the transmitter first may allow

the radio to accept stray signals and the

boat may run out of control.

If you find the steering or throttle

operates backwards as described,

you may need to actuate the servo

reversing switch.

Note: If you are transporting

your Motor Lifeboat, make sure

you disconnect the batteries from

the speed controller and then

turn your radio off until you are

ready to run the boat. Once ready,

simply plug the batteries into the

speed controller, turn the radio on

and make sure that the boat is in

neutral.

Range Testing

Collapse the transmitter antenna and

move the rudder controls. Walk away

from the boat and confirm that you have

control at least 20 yards away.

Checking the Radio System

Carefully plug the mast into the jack

located on the top of the cabin.

The flags are on an elastic band that

loops onto the mast as shown below.

The switch to turn the accessory lighting

on is located on the left side of the hull

near the motor. The receiver switch

must be turned on to allow the light

switch to operate the lights. Sit back

and enjoy the glow from the scale

lighting of your Motor Lifeboat.

Accessory Installation

Make sure the radio is "ON" and the

battery is plugged into the speed

controller. Test the radio system for

proper operation and then carefully

place the boat in the water. Pilot the

boat at slow speeds, staying close to the

shoreline to ensure you have good control

and that the boat is functioning correctly.

Be certain to avoid all objects in the

water at all times.

Once you feel comfortable with the

control of your boat, it is safe to go

further away from the shoreline and at

faster speeds. When you notice the boat

beginning to lose speed, bring the boat

back to shore. It will be necessary to

allow the electronic components to cool

down and to replace or recharge the

battery before heading out again.

Adjust the Steering Trim

When going forward, the model should

move in a straight line. If not, adjust

the steering trim so that it tracks in a

straight line without having to turn the

steering wheel.

Before and at the end of each run,

make sure all screws are tight and

the propellers are free from any

entanglement. At the end of each run,

be sure to remove any debris from the

rudders and/or propellers and rinse the

hull of your boat as well.

Lubricating the Drive Shaft

The drive shafts should be lubricated after

every 3–4 hours of use and at the end of

each boating season prior to storage to

ensure proper operation of your boat.

Use the following steps to remove and

lubricate the drive shafts.

Loosen the nuts that are tightened

against the propellers. The propellers

are threaded onto the shafts and are

simply unscrewed from the end of the

drive shafts.
