What to do if the rudder does not move on my ProBoat Blackjack 29 PRB08011?

  If your ProBoat Toy's rudder isn't moving, several issues could be the cause. First, check the steering servo wires and connections for damage or looseness; connect or replace them as needed. The transmitter might not be bound correctly, so try re-binding it. The BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC could be damaged, requiring you to replace the ESC. Lastly, ensure the ESC switch is powered on.

Why does my ProBoat Blackjack 29 PRB08011 dive in the water?

  If your ProBoat Toy tends to dive or take on water, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the boat hull might not be completely closed. Dry out the boat and ensure the hatch is fully closed on the hull before placing the boat back in the water. Another reason might be that the center of gravity is too far forward, which can be solved by moving the batteries back in the hull.

  If the transmitter is too near the ProBoat Toy during the binding process, or the boat or transmitter is too close to a large metal object or wireless source, move the powered transmitter a few feet from the boat. Then, disconnect and reconnect the battery to the boat. If the boat will not bind another transmitter because another compatible transmitter is powered on, power off all compatible transmitters except the one you are trying to bind.

Why is my ProBoat Toy battery charge low?
- J
  Judy AndersonOct 29, 2025
  If your ProBoat Toy's battery charge is low, several factors could be at play. The battery itself might be damaged, necessitating a replacement, so follow the battery instructions. There could be blockage or friction affecting the shaft or propeller; in this case, disassemble, lubricate, and realign the parts correctly. Cold weather could also be a factor; ensure the battery is warm (above 10º C (50º F)) before use. Reduced runtime or low battery capacity suggests you replace the battery with a larger capacity one. The boat might be underpowered for the conditions, so loosen the motor coupling on the flex shaft and move the flex shaft a small amount. Insufficient lubrication on the flex shaft requires full lubrication. Finally, vegetation or obstacles blocking the rudder or propeller shoul...
