Congratulations on the recent purchase of your new Jon boat! You have purchased a boat from one of the nations leading manufacturers of small boats. Your boat represents years of commitment to product design, excellence in engineering and quality in manufacturing. With proper care and maintenance your boat should last for many years to come. Please call our knowledgeable Customer Support Department if you have any questions. MATERIALS Your fishing boat is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
Owner’s Manual Keep your owner’s manual for future reference. It is a good idea to write down the following information: Serial Number ________________________________ Date of Purchase ________________________________ Purchased from ________________________________ Applying Decals Before applying boat registration decals, clean the area with alcohol or any solvent that does not leave a residue. Make sure solvent is put aside and is dry.
• Loosen the transom or gunwale tie down straps if the boat will be left on the trailer for more than 1-2 days. If the straps are left tight the boat may distort under pressure. • Remove the deck drain plug so that rainwater will drain out of the boat. See Photo #3. • Remove the motor from the transom if the boat is transported over a long distance or stored on the trailer. CARE AND MAINTENANCE With minimal care and maintenance, your boat has been designed to provide you with many years of enjoyment.
STORAGE • Winter can be very hard on boats. We advise cleaning and coating electrical fittings with CRC 56 or battery terminal protectant prior to storage. For best results, we suggest a mooring cover, which prevents water and debris from accumulating. These are available from either your local dealer or direct from KL Industries, Inc. If possible store your boat in a garage or barn. • Make sure all water is drained from between the deck and hull.
4. Can I trailer my boat with the motor on? Outboard motors on small boats should always be removed when trailing. 5. What size shaft do I need on my trolling motor? A standard short shaft is adequate. Boat and transom are designed for up to a 6 hp motor either two stroke or four stroke. 6. How should I store my boat in the winter? See Storage. 7. What can I do if dents form in the hull from improper storage? Expose the dent to warm sunlight preferably on the south side of a building.
