Secure the hatch by sliding the front pins into the holes at the front of the hull opening. The Hatch should drop easily
down so that the magnets hold the hatch in alignment. To waterproof the hatch, use strips of clear tape to seal the lid on
all four sides. **Note: Hatch magnets are for alignment only. Never rely solely on magnets for hatch retention.
INSTALLING THE HATCH
Use the steering dual rate to adjust the steering sensitivity.
NOTE: To avoid flipping the boat, reduce the throttle to slow the boat while turning.
Refer to the radio manual that came with your kit for complete instructions.

Follow the same steps used to install the props. If you are using aftermarket props, make sure they are sized for a 4mm
prop shaft. If you are not using a 4mm prop, you will need to shim the prop shaft or use an adapter to increase the
diameter to .187.
Loosen the drives using a pair of needle nose pliers and a 2.5mm Hex Driver. Adjust the drive up or down to change the
running angle of the boat. Use degree markings on the outdrive to adjust the drive angle. Be sure both drives are set at
the same angle to prevent erratic running.
The alignment of the propeller shaft is parallel to the bottom of
the hull (Keel) which is considered zero degrees (0 deg) and a
neutral setting. The thrust of the propeller is in line with the
center of the hull and has no effect on the hull ride angle.
