Instructions / Assembly

• 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.
• HDPE is very impact resistant but it is vulnerable to excess abrasion. Avoid dragging the boat across gravel, asphalt or concrete.
If you wear a hole in the boat below the waterline HDPE is very difficult to repair. Nothing sticks to HDPE other than molten
HDPE. Most adhesives even those that are very aggressive will only make a temporary bond and probably will not be waterproof.
• Drain any water accumulated between the deck and hull. See Photo #3.
• Your boat can be cleaned with warm water and any standard detergents. More difficult stains, such as brackish watermarks may
be cleaned with a petroleum based cleaner. Read the manufacturers' instructions carefully before using any cleaner.
• If your boat is used in salt-water environments it is suggested that the boat and components be rinsed thoroughly with fresh
water after each use.
• Periodically check and clean the battery terminals and wire leads.
• Remove corrosion from trolling motor harness connections.
• Spray electrical connectors with a lubricant such as Super Lube or CRC 56.
• The carpet is manufactured from 100% UV stabilized weather resistant polypropylene and can be cleaned with any standard
carpet cleaner.
• Polyethylene is a somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its original molded
shape if distorted. If this occurs follow these steps:
1. Relieve the pressure that caused the dent or distortion by supporting the boat differently or removing gear or the motor etc.
2. Place the boat in the warm sun. Usually the south side of a building is the warmest spot. As the boat warms up usually (but
not always) the boat will return to its original molded shape. This may take a few hours or a couple of weeks depending upon
outside temperatures and the degree of distortion.
