Does the stock SuperVee 27 E.S.C have reverse or brake?

[Team X]

Do you know if it has brake?

[kck741]

No sorry I dont know,I have never used it as if it had a brake my guess would be yes

Here is the airplane equivalent:

Yes, it has brake. From the aircraft equivalent.

BRAKE FUNCTION: The factory default brake setting is “off”.
Skip to the “ESC OPERATION” section below if you want to
keep this setting. To turn the brake “on”:
1. Move the throttle stick to full throttle, turn on the transmitter
and connect the battery to the ESC.
2. After 5 seconds the motor will beep twice.
3. Move the throttle stick to the off position (towards you). The
motor will beep twice.
4. Again move the throttle stick to full power. The motor will
beep twice to confirm the brake is now “on”.
5. Move the throttle stick back to off. The motor will now beep
four times indicating the motor is “armed”.
To turn the brake off, repeat the above process. This time the
motor will only beep once with each stick movement, but will
beep four times again at the end to indicate the ESC is armed.
Once the brake is set, it does not require resetting after the
ESC has been switched off.
ESC OPERATION
1. Turn the transmitter’s power on.
2. Move the throttle stick to the off or brake position (towards you).
3. Connect the battery to the ESC. The motor will beep to
indicate the brake setting (once for off, twice for on).

Does a break do anything for a boat? I've never run a boat with a break.

[Bill-SOCAL]

Breaking a boat is bad. If you break it, then you have to fix it.

A brake will not really help stop you from breaking a boat either.

Sorry, couldn't resist

My other favorite is to always remember that you may lose something if it comes loose.

[Dale Koblitz]

So you're saying breaks have no effect on boats!

[Rex R]

dems the breaks, but seriously folks lets use the proper wording. to decellerate something requires brakes. if you run into something you might break it. slowing a boat down from 30+ mph is going to take a fair amount of room... now consider how hard it is to turn a stock sv motor by hand...

Egg-Zack-Lee!!!

My SV slows down in a hurry when I come off the throttle. My other boats will coast a good distance when I let off.
