Thank you for your videos. Helps more than you know! Quick question, when changing motors, there are three connections to each one. Does it matter which goes into which, or should we remove one at a time to insure it’s the same? Thank you!!!!

OK.. Thanks.. in your other video on maintenance, you say to use Corrosion-X.. But, can you detail HOW you access all parts of the motors to get good spray coverage? Or, would it make more sense to dip a 1/2" wide soft-bristle paint brush and lather it up from the access you have through the top of the boat? (in addition to the prop-side?. I don't relish the idea of having tlo remove the motor breaking the initial factory seals if I don't HAVE to. Thanks

Hi Thank you for this video. Until now I thought it was a disposable boat that can be thrown away after failure. I have a question. Since I bought the version without the sonar and am just trying to install it, could you please make a video on how to do it? I know it can be done because I almost finished doing it myself, but the issue of powering the sonar component that is inside the boat is not clear to me. Greetings

Approximately how many runs did you get before you had issues? Have you explored upgrading motors, or other parts like going to a different battery type , maybe lipo, thats lighter weight in hopes of increasing performance. Will motor mounts allow for an easy motor swap? Thanks for all the info! I purchased one without the fish finder. Will the weight reduction help performance or is weight savings of no transducer going to be negligable?

Great questions, unfortunately you are limited on motor size due to the hull design. Because the hull is molded with a "motor well" the biggest motor you can install is the factory size motor. As for battery, it already run a lipo battery. Lastly, the model variation will not affect performance, the boat can and does haul about 3lb bait and up to 1lbs of weight. Although, I only use 6oz of weight to hold my rigs.

Hey Smitty thanks for the videos, have you ever had trouble with the remote controller? Mine worked just fine when i cleaned the boat after use and went out the next time and it wouldn't power up. out in two different sets of new batteries not power? Is there a trick to reset this or have you had this happen before?

Smitty, I watched your great RC Surf Fisher maintenece vids and glad I did, I just bought a RC Surf Fisher, and doing your recommended maintenance, I found the port thru hull wide open, no tubing connected. I corrected that issue and took her out for a first spin. My issue with new batteries in transmitter and fresh battery in boat, as soon as I started moving in the water, the low battery alarms starts sounding. I swapped out both sets of batteries and it did it again, as soon as it went underway. I did not have the fishfinder receiver on this trip, no mention of troubleshooting on this issue, do you have any thoughts?

Trial and error unfortunately. Wire it the way you think it should go. Pull the throttle if you feel air blowing like a fan from the props you're good. If not, reverse any two wires and it should fix the problem.

It just sits in a tray under the plastic cover. Disconnect the water lines, the main electrical connector and the three connectors that go to the motor. It should come right out. The connectors to the motor may be heat shrunk, so you'll have to carefully cut that. However, the connectors just twist apart.

Normally that means the battery voltage has dropped below 10.5~10.2v . Which is saying if the boat was run out to max yardage (~500 yrds) you have enough power to make it back to shore. A fully charged battery should be about 11.2 - 11.3v. Hope that helps.

Hello, I have a similar problem :( Can you help me? My boat has a 6.4V 15.6Ah battery. boat is new. Battery charged for 6 hours. After 10 min. Using BATT Indicator beeps and the boat flashes. Message that the battery is empty. The battery has 6.6 volts after 10 minutes of use. I bought a second battery also 6.4Volt 15.6Ah LiFePo same problem :( On PARTS LIST: 6.4V 15.6Ah LiFePo battery No. 315203 I bought these too. But there is a 9.6 volt and 11700 mAh battery. The original for me is 6.4 volts and 15.6 Ah. What can be broken, there aren't many parts installed either 🤔? What is Brains has anyone traded? I would be very happy if you could help me

Do you have the RC Fishing Surfer boat? If so it should be the 9.6v battery. If you got something other than that, I would contact Joysway Hobbys directly or the shop that sold you the boat. The 6.4v is too small of a battery. Even my nonfishfinder boat has a 9.6v battery.

I have contacted Joysway. The 9.6 volt battery has been further developed (model V2.) I have a 6.4 volt model V1. When ordering spare parts, you also have to pay attention to which model they are.
