It is important that you read and follow this
instruction manual, along with the radio
system manual before you run this exciting
boat. Failure to read and understand the
manual could result in personal injury,
property damage or permanent damage to
your boat. It is also important to run your
boat responsibly. With proper care and
maintenance, you will be able to proudly enjoy
your Miss Geico for many years to come.
When operating the boat, stay clear of people,
full-scale boats, stationary objects and wildlife.
It is preferable to operate the Miss Geico in
low wake, low wind conditions and in areas
free of people, wildlife and objects.
Check all of the hardware, and the propeller,
for damage and loose screws before and after
each run.
If at any time while operating your model
you sense any abnormal function, end your
operation immediately. Do not operate your
boat again until you are certain the problem
has been corrected. Always stay clear of
the propeller.

General Guidelines and Safety Precautions
Recommended Tools and Adhesives
Recommended Batteries

4
Required Equipment and Accessories
Transmitter
AA battery (4)
Motor battery (2) (charged)
Hook and loop tape
1. Locate the pieces for the boat stand.
The longer side pieces will key to the
shorter end pieces. Use a small amount of
Medium CA to glue the pieces together.
2. Slide the cover from the bottom of the
transmitter to access the battery holder.
3. Install the four AA batteries in the
battery holder. Match the polarity of the
batteries to the molded markings in the
battery holder.
4. Slide the battery cover back on the
bottom of the transmitter.
5. Lift the hatch cover from the hull at
the rear and slide it back to remove.
The cover is held at the rear using two
magnets, and at the front with a small pin.
Basic Assembly

5
6. Remove the radio box cover from the
hull by lifting it up using the tab at the
rear of the cover.
7. Apply the hook and loop tape to the
bottom of both batteries. Also apply the
mating piece of tape in the hull where the
batteries will be located.
8. Place the motor batteries in the hull.
There will be one battery on the left of the
hull, and one on the right side of the hull.
Note: Center the trims for both the
steering and throttle on your transmitter
before turning the transmitter on.
9. Move the switch on the transmitter to
the ON position and confirm that the red
and green LED illuminate. Turn off the
transmitter.

6
About your Speed Controller
Be sure to use a Programming Module
(PRB3311) to adjust the cutoff voltage when
using Li-Po batteries to protect against over-
discharging the batteries.
Note: The ESC is factory-set for use with
Ni-MH batteries.
The programming module offers other
beneficial adjustments like exponential
throttle curves and timing adjustments. Visit
ProBoatModels.com and search "Programming
Module" for further details.
10. Confirm that the ESC on/off switch
is in the "OFF" position and connect the
batteries to the battery plugs from the
speed control.
11. Turn on the transmitter, then the ESC
on/off switch. The ESC will beep until you
pull the throttle trigger to full throttle and
return it to the neutral position. Check the
operation of the propeller in relationship
to the throttle trigger. When the trigger
is pulled in, the propeller must rotate
counterclockwise as shown. If the motor
turns in the wrong direction, switch any 2
motor wires.
12. Check the operation of the steering in
relationship to the steering wheel. When
the wheel is rotated clockwise, the rudder
must move right as shown. If not, follow
the instructions from the radio to set the
servo reversing for the steering.

7
13. Place the clear battery cover back
into position. We suggest using clear tape
(PRB102) around the edge of the main
hatch to keep it in place in the event of a
roll over.
Note: The radio system is pre-bound at
the factory but the 2.4GHz radio system
may not bind correctly if the radio is
adjacent to a large amount of metal such
as an aluminum dock. Read the radio
manual for binding details.
Required Equipment and Accessories
Hex wrench: 3mm
Nut driver: 7mm
Changing the Center of Gravity
Moving the batteries to the front or back can
significantly affect the boat's performance. As
a starting point, the center of gravity of the
boat should be 30% (9-inches (228mm) from
the rear of the boat).
A: Move the batteries toward the rear of the
boat to raise the front of the hull out of the
water for increased speed.
B: Move the batteries toward the front of
the boat for faster initial acceleration,
to eliminate oscillation or bouncing and
increase stability.
A
B
Drive Height
The center of the propeller shaft should be just
about the bottom of the sponsons. Lowering
the drive will increase the propeller's ability
to bite at take off but excessive lowering can
cause the back of the boat to feel loose and
decrease top end stability.
Handling Adjustments

8
Required Tools and Lubricants
Marine grease
Paper towel
Rubbing alcohol
Open end wrench: 10mm (2)
Hex wrench: 2.5mm
Nut driver: 4mm
Lubricating the Flex Shaft
Lubricating the drive system is vital to the life
of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a
water seal, keeping water from entering the
hull through the stuffing box.
Lubricate the drive shaft, propeller shaft
and all moving parts after every 2–3 hours
of operation.
1. Use a 4mm nut driver and 2.5mm hex
wrench to remove the two screws that
secure the rudder to the rudder bracket.
Move the rudder aside, but do not
disconnect the rudder linkage.
Raising the drive helps eliminate oscillation or
bouncing and assist with top end stability but
excessively raising the drive can reduce top
speeds and cause cavitation.
Use a 3mm hex wrench and 7mm nut driver
to loosen the bolt that attaches the output to
the bracket to adjust the height.
Maintenance

9
2. Use two 10mm open end wrenches to
loosen the ferrule that secures the flex
shaft to the motor.
3. Remove the flex shaft by pulling it out
of the stuffing box by the propeller.
4. Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol
to clean the flex shaft.
5. Apply a waterproof marine grease to
the flex shaft. We recommend the Pro
Boat marine grease available at your local
hobby dealer.
6. Reverse the previous steps to reinstall
the flex drive. Check that there is a
slight gap of 1/32-inch (1mm) between
the stuffing box and propeller mount as
shown. Also make sure the rudder mount
is parallel to the rudder bracket when
installed.
