Hi I built my boat AZIZ back in 2007, long story short not long after wife had stroke, boat put away. I lost my wife in 2023 i have just start to get back in to the hobbie again I am changing from FMm to 2.4 ghz and come acrose a few problems, The radio and item i have in the boat are as follows.
Radiolink AT1011.
1 12v 5amp Battery. 1 Water Pump to fire Hoses.
1 Battery pack for Receiver. 1 Receiver.
1 12v 5amp Battery. 1 Bow Thruster. 1 Servo to turn on Pump. 2 Servo mix to operate fire Hoses. 1 Sound unit PE310 and Speaker from JJC Electronics. 1 Old Smokey Mk2 unit from JJC Electronics. 1 Prop-Rudder Mixer Mk2 from JJC Electronics. 1 Servo for Rudder. 2 Motor 2.5:1. 3 ESC Viper Marine 15, 2 for motors and 1 for Bow Thurster. Look for Help/Advice on how to wire it all i must be doing something wrong it shuts down when i left or right rudder, is there any things i need to take out or replace that would help. i have a feeling the prop/rudder mix is playing up, do i need bigger batts

First thing is to ditch the battery pack for the receiver as the viper escs have a bec function to power the radio. Also remove the RED wire in the bow thruster radio lead to prevent it trying to power the radio, also remove the RED wire from one of the motor escs for the same reason. More than one power supply to the receiver just causes problems.

Hi I have done what you suggested all working apart from one servo that turns on the water pump, when i turn on that servo it cuts out all, the pump is on it own batt and not got any connection with any thing else and is turned on by the said servo. The two water cannons servo do the same when i use them Many thanks for your help so far.

Glad most things have been solved.
Try a different servo in the receiver socket that switches on the water pump, the old one may be faulty and causing problems.

Hi just to follow on from above posts i have 4, Futaba FP.S148 indirect Drive Servos. 1 for Rudder, 1 to Turn On Pump for Fire Hose, 2 to control the 2 Fire Hoses rotation, If i turn on one when one of the others is being used it cut out , am i pulling to much current or to many amps i have the two motors running correct ie: Ahead/A stren Left/Right with Rudder through the rudder mixing unit, The sound and smoke unit goe's up and downwith the throttle control, so all is ok up to this point, Do I need to invest in small servo or do i need to get digital servos
