This boat will not work in the lake, but seems to work in the hot tub!? Why is this?

Check all connections, and press in on the remote wheel when accelerating. Maybe that would help.

Lake may be to choppie, the boat has to have full contact with water in order to activate the sensor. Hope this helps. Mark

it uses water to spend an internal power supply and the chemicals in your water has caused the motor to lock up therefore not generating any electricity power the lights mine is making noise now and probably soon. It will stop as well

No.I am also on my second boat (exchanged the first one)and are unable to get them to work.We are going to the hobby shop today to try to determine exactly what the issue is.

I am wondering if one of these is enough to work in a small hot tub? I am looking for a hot tub that is around 250 gallons. 1. Would I need to use 2 of these or is one sufficient? and 2. would I use it all the time or periodically?

Sorry, ours didn't work out of the box, so we sent it back for a refund. I bought it as a beginner boat for my son and we planned on using it in salt water, just be sure to rinse it with fresh water after each use. That was our intention, but never got to try it out. Sorry, but hope that helps.

Please check the directions on the Bottle for that type of information . If not on the bottle check with the manufacture ,however my experience with Marine engines tell me you may have a sever problem within your cooling system [water blockage etc.]. Most Marine engines have a fresh supply of cool water from a lake or ocean etc. to draw from so overheating is rare unless there is a issue within the cooling system of your engine .My knee jerk answer is........have a professional inspection of your motor and see what's making it run hot . Sorry maybe this time the cure may not be in the bottle ..Thanks Ron Please check the directions on the Bottle for that type of information .

Mine did the same thing. I had to replace the circulation pump. To check this turn off your hot tub then try to run it with the jets. Turn the heater up. If it does not turn off then it is not your heater. Turn the jets off. If you hear the thumping and the heater turns off then it is your circulation pump since it stopped working when you shut the jets off. The circulation of the jets keeps the heater from overheating. When you turn it off the circulation pump take over but the heater will shut off from not receiving the cooler water so the heater overheats an d turns off.

It could be that you didn't fill the float with water by holding it underwater for a minute or two when you 1st installed it. That was barely mentioned in the instructions but sounds like something that would assist in moving the float down.

I have two of these paddles and they work perfectly! Perhaps yours is malfunctioning and should be returned?

It has to be in the water. I didn't try pressing it tight against the hull and try measure through the hull, but doesn't seem to be likely it will work. Actually, it doesn't seem to work reliably when the boat is moving too - at speeds above 6 kt I hardly had any success.

Dr. Rob,This is interesting as I have 2 of these units. One is 10 years + old on my hot tub and I have a new one for the new sign on my building. Both are keeping very accurate time. If the unit you installed is not working properly, I would suggest you 1) call the manufacture customer service line for advise or 2) return through Amazon. Sorry to hear you are having issues as my experience with these units over the years has proven them to be extremely reliable.

I don't know the answer to this. But we bought one of these boats and returned it because it didn't run in the water. The replacement didn't run either. It looks cool, but is made cheap & doesn't run.

I'm not sure. Maybe it will work better than in an actual hot tub. I have had mine for less than a year and it has been getting stuck on the same temperature for quite some time now and the other day I was going to reset the floating part and when I unscrewed it the gasket stretched out of shape which means it is no good now without it.

I bought two of these and both died quickly. I got no useful customer service. My guess is that either your handheld controller or the control receiver in the boat has died. Good luck trying to get the maker or seller to do anything about it. If they offer you a new boat at a discount price, don't take it. I bought my second boat this way and it died quickly.

There is a small sensor (2 inches by 2 inches approx.) that registers the images that goes into the water, beside or underneath the boat. If that sensor is placed in the water through the hole of the ice it seems that every thing should work fine.

I do not know the answer, but let me know what you find out. I bought this unit last summer and it is the best ! Course it sat attached to my boat at the resort in northern Wis over this hellish winter OUTSIDE ! We'll see this summer how it fared.
