Positive Angle: Positive strut angle causes the bow (front) to
run high, making the boat faster but less stable and likely to
blow off course or crash in rough water. This also places the
least amount of stress on the motor and speed control.
Neutral or No Angle: Good for most setups, but ultimately
the prop, weight of the boat and water conditions will
determine if you are going to run your boat with Neutral
strut angle.
Negative Angle: Negative strut angle can cause the boat to
run tight. Remember, make small adjustments at a time as
negative strut angle places the most amount of stress on
the drive components. Too much negative angle and your
boat might “stuff” dive under water if it comes off a wave.
Remember, small adjustments are best.
Rudder Angle: Tilting the bottom of the rudder to a positive
angle (away from the transom) will cause the transom to
run higher out of the water in the corners. Tucking it under
will cause the transom to run deeper. Keep in mind as you
make your adjustments that a small change can make a
big difference.
Trim Plates: The trim plates are used to help control the ride
of the hull. If the boat is hopping, you can bend down the
trim plates (negative). If it looks like the boat is running wet,
you can bend the trim plates up a small amount (positive).
MAINTENANCE
RADIO BOX MAINTENANCE
When fi nished running, remove the hatch, open the
radio box by unsnapping the side latches and unplug the
receiver battery. Let the cover sit on the side of the boat
and wipe away water that might have collected in the radio
box compartment. It is best to leave the radio box cover
and hatch cover off the boat overnight to allow any water
that might enter to evaporate.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
• Drain any remaining fuel from the tank.
• Remove the glow plug.
• Place a few drops of Hobbico® After Run Oil (HCAP3000)
into the carburetor and in the cylinder head. Place a rag
over the cylinder head and gently pull the recoil starter a
few times to spread the oil throughout the engine.
HULL MAINTENANCE
• Remove the hatch cover.
• Open the radio box.
• Soak up any excess water with a paper towel.
• Wipe down the entire boat with spray-on glass cleaner and
a soft cotton towel.
