Launch Instructions
Launching your boat
Step 1: Check that the boat stand is not stuck to the bottom of the boat.
Step 2: Using the carry handle toss your boat into the water. The water should be at least
18" deep.
Step 3: Make sure that the remote does not get wet or touch the water.
Step 4: The boat should be steered much like a ski boat. Always hit waves straight on and
attempt to time your run so that the boat sails over the wave before it breaks, ideally while
it is still a swell.
Step 5: Keep some tension on the fishing line. If a wave hits the boat side on or the wave is
too big and the boat turns around (colour of navigational buoy changes from yellow to
red), immediately release the throttle and wind up all the slack fishing line. Use the line to
pull the stern of the boat towards the beach so that the navigational buoy shows yellow
before heading out to sea again.
Releasing your bait
Step 1: When your boat reaches the desired drop zone, do NOT release the bait
immediately. Instead, use the boat as an anchor. Wind in any slack and straighten your
fishing line.
Step 2: Move the throttle slightly forward and check that the boat is pulling on the line.
This tests that the boat will re-start once you have dropped the baited line.
Step 3: To release the baited line, move the bait tray release switch located on the top right
hand corner of the transmitter forwards (away from you). This will activate the bait tray flap.
Steering your boat back to shore
Step 1: Lift the throttle and travel 5 - 10m deeper into the ocean before turning the boat
around in a wide arc.
Step 2: Keep the boat at least 40m away from the fishing line as you steer the boat back.
Step 3: When your boat reaches the shore, retrieve the boat by lifting it out of the water
using the handle on the hatch, do not grab it by the buoy or antenna.
