Option 2
Strap a spider-shaped anchor with no weight and legs facing backwards around 8
ft back onto your lead line. Running a fixed anchor will allow you to drag it behind
the boat without it turning around and digging into the sand. Using this option
means that you will have less leader to wind up.
We suggest using 10ft of stainless steel cable with 25 - 40 ft 1000lb mono leader.
Correctly setting the tension on your line
Launching your boat: Adjust the brake to the point where 1 click back will not
allow you to wind line onto the reel and 1 click forward will allow you to wind
line on the reel.
Behind the breakers: Once the boat is sailing behind the breakers turn the
brake one click back to reduce the tension and in so doing conserve battery
and reduce the load on the motor.
Important Does and Don'ts
Do:
Open the hatch for 5 - 7 minutes if you've run a particularly large bait to allow
hot air trapped in the hull to be expelled before running the next bait.
Reduce the weight of your bait a little if you plan to run your boat very often
for longevity of the drive train and battery life.
Spend a few days familiarizing yourself with your new Turbo X, reading the
instructions thoroughly and taking her for a few test runs before venturing
out on a massive fishing expedition.
Don't:
Avoid dragging a slider without a stop on the leader before the swivel on the
main line. You risk the anchor bouncing around and tangling in the main line
while towing or fighting the fish. Sliders in general are not ideal when fishing
for sharks or other large fish.
Avoid extended periods of high current draw. This will trigger thermal cutout
of the speed controller and consequently the motor. Correctly adjusting the
drag with hydrodynamic bait towed up close behind the bait will greatly
reduce the risk of triggering the thermal cutout circuit. (See Troubleshooting
section on page 15 should you accidentally trigger the thermal cutout.)
