New Boat owner???
Hi,
I just purchased (for my son) a Freedom RZ boat with the Dynamite .15S water-cooled engine and a JR XR2i radio for a birthday present. I have been flying airplanes for a while but new to the boat scene. Will I have any problems matching this engine with the boat. I was wondering since this is a boat that has a outboard motor placement how the water lines would be hooked up? Also are there any special considerations using a water cooled engine? Does it need to be flushed with clean water after use? Does anyone have any suggestions when I start putting it all together? Any other suggestions/ideas are much appreciated.

you only need to flush engine with clean water when youve run it in salt water same as the real thing also water line issues the best thing to do is build hull then put all ancillerys inside hull do a bath test and it should give you an idea were it will sit in the water but with an outboard when you run it it will lift the front up anyway also try to use a surface peircing screw much more efficient
