Anyone who runs RC boats should have a way of safely retrieving their rig without having to swim to go get it. Too many people have already lost their life swimming for their boat. If you have a rig please post pictures so we can help those in need gather ideas to build their own. I also usually have my 7 foot kayak with me in case my retrieval fails (it’s happened before).
This is my rig. The electronics tray is an old cutting board. The frame is 1/2” schedule 40 irrigation pvc with pool noodles for flotation. The push pull assembly I made allows for nearly 90* rotation. I used a Castle/Traxxas marine ESC because it has 100% reverse. Most marine ESCs only have a fraction of reverse. I run it on 4s. She isn’t pretty but she’s never let me down.
