HUNTER 750 BAIT BOAT
Please read and understand all instructions BEFORE using the product.
The Hunter 750 is light in weight at just 2.5kg including two lithium polymer batteries, and its compact design is ideally suited
for all anglers, though it really comes into its own when looking to drop a rig and bait in some of those harder to reach places, for
anglers who fish short sessions on a multitude of waters, from canals to inland seas. Or even those who may want to use a bait
boat but decide against it due to having to walk a long way with their gear. The small size and low weight of the Hunter 750
mean that it is not only easy to transport, but it’s equally as simple to deploy.
It’s the first ever fully top-loading bait boat too, this industry first means that there’s no longer any need to fiddle around
underneath and insert your baited rig into the hopper from below, thanks to the clever design of the bait delivery system, which
can accommodate upto 1kg of bait. The super-quiet twin motors feature built-in weed guards, while the sleek design ensures it
cuts through the water with ease and the built-in lights to the front and rear make for an easy approach, delivery and return
from your spots at night.
Thanks to a built-in, highly visible battery power meter you’ll never be unsure as to how much power you have left. Two lithium
polymer batteries are supplied as standard, and another industry first is the ability to charge the bespoke RidgeMonkey batteries
via USB-C and have an average charging time of 2.5hrs per battery from drained to fully charged. Being charged via USB-C
means that you can use our Vault Power Packs to recharge while on the bank.
The single-handed IP55 water and dust resistant remote means that you no longer have to worry about leaving your handset out
on those wet nights and you have no need to worry about condensation either. The remote has been ergonomically designed
with its rubberised grip, also featuring an easy-to-use thumbstick and boasting just 3 buttons, making it extremely simple in use.
The remote is charged via USB-C, has an LED power meter and has been tested up to a range of 200m, while it is antenna-less as
standard. Supplied with a carry bag.

OPERATION
HOW TO TURN ON  OFF BOAT:
Press down the silver power button to the rear left of the
boat, the lights will flash and then go off, the power meter
will display the current boat power in the batteries, the
boat is now turned on.
To power off the boat, simply press the silver power button
on the boat again and the boat will now power off.
HOW TO READ THE BOAT POWER METER:
When the boat is fully charged the power meter should
read between 12.4V and 12.7V when it drops down to
around 9V the batteries are fully run down. The boat is
equipped with a built-in cut-off, so if the boat goes below
the required voltage, it will shut off to ensure no damage
can be done to the batteries due to full battery drain.
When there is 9.7V battery the boat lights will flash 3 times
every 30 seconds until the batteries fully run down after
around 10 minutes.
HOW TO OPEN  CLOSE THE HOPPER:
To open the hopper, simply press the middle button on the
remote. The hopper will open and both the front and rear
lights will flash twice. Before filling with bait ensure the
hopper is fully closed. To do this, simply lift the hopper flap
up toward the hull of the boat and while still pushing it
upward, press the middle button of the remote once.
The hopper flap will lift into position and now be closed
and secure in place.
HOW TO LOAD THE BOAT WITH BAIT AND LINE:
With the hopper closed place your desired bait in the top of
the boat hopper. Lift the rear line securing arm (see
diagram) and once your rig is placed in the hopper, place
your main line / leader through the rear groove and secure
in place by locking the line securing arm back in place.
This ensures that your main line / leader will not move from
position if it comes under tension while driving the boat in
to position.

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and ensure product is fully dry before storage. Store in a cool, dry place with batteries disconnected
and any cables loosely coiled. Run a full battery charge / discharge cycle at least once every three months to avoid shortening the
lifespan of the batteries. If long-term storage is likely to occur between uses, we recommend storing at approximately 50% of full
charge. Never store the batteries for long periods when empty as this may cause irreversible damage – always apply a small top
up charge as soon as possible.
USAGE NOTES
Do not use the Hunter 750 in saltwater. Refrain from using the Hunter 750 Bait Boat in rough, choppy conditions or at ranges in
excess of 200m to avoid the risk of total loss.
When disconnecting the batteries or charger, pull the reinforced plug assembly. Do not pull directly on the flexible cable.
Do not attempt to recharge the boat or remote batteries in temperatures above 35C / 95f or below 5C / 41f. Doing so will void your
warranty and may cause permanent damage to this internal lithium cells of the device.
Always ensure both batteries are at the same state of charge. Avoid mixing charged and discharged batteries. If necessary and
relevant to the previous note, the Hunter 750 can be used with a single battery connected to the power circuit. However, always
have both batteries in place to provide equal ballast and fully recharge both batteries as soon as possible to restore voltage balance.
Use this product and any included accessories for its intended purpose only.
Do not open the sealed hull of the boat, nor modify this product or any included accessories in any way. Doing so will void your guarantee.

HUNTER 750 BAIT BOAT

RM469
Avec tout juste 2,5kg sur la balance (ses 2 batteries au lithium comprises), le Hunter 750 est très léger, et son design compact
conviendra à tous les carpistes. Là où ce bait boat devient très intéressant, c’est lorsqu’il s’agit d’aller déposer une ligne ou
amorcer dans l’un de ces endroits difficiles d’accès, pour les carpistes adeptes des sessions courtes sur tous types de postes,
en canal, rivière ou lac. Ou simplement pour ceux intéressés par un bateau amorceur, mais qui ont renoncé à en utiliser un,
trop lourd et trop encombrant à transporter. Le faible poids et la petite taille du Hunter 750 font qu’il est non seulement facile à
transporter, mais aussi facile à mettre en oeuvre.
C’est aussi le premier baitboat du marché à chargement 100% par le haut, ce qui permet de déposer une ligne sans avoir à
“bricoler” et installer le montage dans la trémie par dessous, grâce à la conception ingénieuse du système de largage des
appâts, qui a une capacité d’emport de 1kg. Ses deux moteurs ultra silencieux intègrent des capots de protection anti-algues,
et son design épuré et hydrodynamique lui donne une excellente tenue dans la vague, tandis que les phares avant et arrière
intégrés facilitent les approches, les largages et les retours de nuit.
Grâce à son témoin de charge intégré et très visible, vous connaitrez toujours le niveau de charge et l’autonomie restante avec
une grande précision. Le Hunter 750 est livré d’origine avec 2 batteries au lithium, et pour la première fois dans l’histoire des
bateaux amorceurs, ces batteries se rechargent grâce à un port USB-C, avec un temps de charge total très court de 2,5 heures,
depuis une batterie entièrement vide jusqu’à la pleine charge. Le chargement par port USB-C permet l’utilisation d’un
powerpack Ridgemonkey Vault, un énorme plus en session en pleine nature.
La télécommande, utilisable d’une seule main, résiste à l’eau et la poussière (norme IP55) : finis les problèmes de télécommande
par temps de pluie, les nuits très humides, ou par forte condensation dans le bivvy. Son design ergonomique, sa prise en main
aisée grâce à son joystick unique manoeuvrable avec le pouce et seulement 3 boutons la rendent très facile d’utilisation.
La télécommande est sans antenne, se recharge à l’aide d’un port USB-C, et dispose d’un témoin de charge à LED et une portée
de 200m. Livrée avec un sac de transport.
