Get Ready To Keep Damages Minor

Before every outing, make sure that you inspect the hull of your radio controlled boats before they are placed in the water. Got any cracks or holes, or damage? This is the best way to look ahead of time for damage and cracks, and then you are avoiding water leaks and damage to the receiver or other electronics. Once again, caution...caution...caution. If you have no idea whether your hull is not damaged, or is in an unsafe condition, the best approach is to wait to use the boat until you are sure of no damage.

Many times, minor damages mean that you can do the repair work yourself. Minor damage can be repaired with some quick acting solution that fills gaps. If the hole in the hull is larger than a crack, you can use some type of body filler designed for automobiles. Just like other repairs, easy does it and do not get in a hurry. With the filler, you should apply several light coats and sand each coat as it dries. That way, you can maintain that smoothly contoured hull that you started with originally.
