This was not what it looked like. It was very tiny and all for assembly. No instructions that were to follow to assemble. We returned this item. I would not recommend this. This was to work by solar.

It comes with a transducer that is mounted on a suction cup that sticks on the boat's transom. The transducer is also attached to a long cord that goes to the main unit. So he should be good to go!

The Bowmount system has 4 screws that bolt it on the front of your Boat , downward then it has a handle to lower and raise it down in the water, they work Great. It pivots on the base .

The boat is fairly quick. You can't judge speed by MPH. For a scale boat, it travels faster than it should. Note: out of the box the boat only goes full speed forward or reverse. There is no variable speed. Turning means making one propeller go forward while the other spins in reverse. You need a large pool or lake/pond to run it. I take mines to the lake where it travels around 100-200 feet from me.

It goes about 10-15 miles per hour. Fast enough that it is fun but not too fast that the kids can't control it. Also, it handles waves really well, even at speed. Purchased it for the grandkids but I am having fun with it too. It's a great beginner to begin-intermediate boat, I would say. For sure get an extra battery.

Absolutely nothing. That is if your boat has a battery in it. Great piece of equipment.

Once the boat is inflated it is not bad to handle. My wife and I easily can carry it. When the boat is deflated and in the bag is a bit heavy. I store the boat in bag with the floor separately. This make it easier to move around.

This is a very stable boat. This boat, complimented with a PFD is a life saving combination.

Their are two metal pins in the bottom and two on the top in the back of the boat. The boat had to be in the water to work. Turn on remote control and put boat in the water . Wait a few seconds and depress the trigger full power. Then let the trigger go. Them you should be ready to operate the boat. It only works in the water.

Two - Three hours of charging will do the job in the future. There are two things that may be effecting your lack of power to the motors. First, the button on the bow needs to be pushed. You should see a light in the wheel house. Then, the boat has a sensor to detect water around the boat and it will need to be IN THE WATER for the motors to operate.

There are plastic lifeboats attached. I ended up sending the one I ordered back because it was cheaply made and did not work. I should have read the other reviews first.

The ship has to be pit in water, such as a pond or pool to work.The water completes the circuit.

You have to buy a wheel kit, It doesn't have built in wheels. The company that makes the boat ,also sells the kit for about a hundred bucks

I finally got to use the Barbwire this weekend and I was very impressed with how the boat works and the batteries lasted 15 mins with continuous high speed use even through 1 ft waves. It takes a couple hours to charge the fully dead three cell battery and I have two of them. You can charge through the 120 outlets plugin or right off of a car battery too with the connector that comes with the boat. I hope this helps anyone who wants to try this boat out for fast fun. BTW it does tip itself back over when it flips over in the water. Look for the youtube videos made for this boat.

The cart attaches to the kayak. You pull the kayak from the handle on the front of the kayak.

There are two metal plates under boat...these detect water. no water no go...we've had this be a problem in choppy water FYI.As for turning, Can't say but there is a trim knob that could be skewed way to the left or right. Good luck.
