  James YoungAug 13, 2025
  If your ProBoat Toy boat won't connect to the transmitter after binding, the transmitter might be too close to the boat. Try moving the powered transmitter a few feet away, then disconnect and reconnect the battery to the boat. Also, ensure that the boat and transmitter are not near any large metal objects or wireless sources. If the problem persists, check the battery levels of both the boat and the transmitter and replace or recharge them if necessary. Finally, ensure the ESC switch is powered on.

  If your ProBoat Toy boat will not bind to the transmitter, make sure the transmitter isn't too close to the boat during the binding process. Move the powered transmitter a few feet away from the boat, disconnect and reconnect the battery to the boat. Also, ensure that the boat and transmitter are not near any large metal objects, wireless sources, or other transmitters. If the issue continues, replace or recharge the batteries in both the boat and the transmitter. Lastly, check that the ESC switch is powered on.

  Jennifer ReynoldsAug 21, 2025
  If the rudder on your ProBoat Toy does not move, there may be damage to the rudder, linkage, or servo. Replace or repair any damaged parts and adjust the controls. Inspect the steering servo wires and connections, connecting or replacing them as needed. Also, try re-binding the transmitter. In some cases, the BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC might be damaged, requiring ESC replacement. Finally, ensure the ESC switch is powered on.

  If the motor power pulses in your ProBoat Toy, it might be due to cold weather conditions causing the motor to lose power; postpone use until the weather is warmer. Alternatively, the battery may be old, worn out, or damaged, in which case you should replace it.
