Baitboat hints & tips

1) Ensuring you don't run out of range.
Extend the transmitter aerial to about half its normal height. If the boat loses radio signal, 
fully extend the aerial and you should regain control.
If you do run into range problems, hold the transmitter above your head with the aerial pointing skywards.

2) Reducing the effect of towed lines on steering.
Attach two adjustable clips (drop off's) to the centre of the handle and lead the lines out of the chamfered 
section of the doors through these clips. When you release the hopper doors, a slight tug on the line should unclip
the clips.

3) Reducing bilge water.
In some conditions water can enter the drain hole at the bow so cover this with waterproof
tape before use, always remembering to remove and drain after use.

4) Extending the life of the transmitter batteries.
The nickel cadmium batteries can aquire a memory which will reduce the operating time of the transmitter.
If this becomes evident then by fully charging the batteries and allowing the transmitter to run completely flat
in one stage. By repeating this proceedure a couple of times this should sort the problem.
