Carefully place the boat in the water . Pilot the boat at slow speeds,
staying close to the shoreline to ensure you have good control and that
the boat is functioning correctly . Be certain to avoid all objects in the
water at all times . Once you feel comfortable with the control of your boat, it is safe to go
further away from the shoreline and at faster speeds . When you notice
the boat begin to lose speed, bring the boat back to shore . It may be
necessary to allow the electronic components to cool down and to
replace or recharge the battery before heading out again .
Operate your Apache 24 in low to medium wake conditions to avoid
having problems with the boat overturning . If the conditions are ques-
tionable, adjust the prop strut down a bit to reduce the likelihood of
having the boat overturn . You may also turn the dual rate dial down to reduce rudder travel in
rough water conditions .
Steering Dual Rate
The ESC in your Apache 24 is preprogrammed from the factory . The fol-
lowing has been provided if you happen to need to reset the
programming of your ESC .
1 . Turn on the transmitter’s power switch . Be sure the transmitter
batteries are fully charged .
2 . Place the boat in position to allow the propeller to move freely
or disconnect one of the motor wires from the motor .
3 . Turn on the receiver switch . Move the throttle trigger (stick)
to full throttle, then to full reverse . The ESC will automatically
memorize the initial movement of the throttle channel each time
the receiver switch is turned on .
4 . To reset the maximum throttle setting, simply turn the ESC's
power switch off then on and move the throttle stick to full
movements again .
5 . When operation is complete, turn off the receiver, then the
transmitter .
Note: Do not turn off the transmitter first or the receiver may pick
up stray signals and run out of control . It may be necessary
to adjust the throttle trim adjustment to stop the propeller
when the throttle trigger is released .
Before and at the end of each run, make sure all screws are tight and
the propeller is free from any entanglement .
