Instructions / Assembly

Congratulations on the recent purchase of your new fishing 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 helpful and
knowledgeable Customer Support Department if you have any questions or concerns.
MATERIALS
The Sportsman is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). It is a very durable material. Our specially formulated
HDPE has an ultra-violet inhibitor blended throughout the material to reduce color fade and maintain its strength. Polyethylene is a
somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its original molded shape if
distorted.
All boats are equipped with closed cell foam for flotation and meet U.S. Coast Guard and NMMA safety standards.
BOAT SET-UP
Parts
Your boat comes with the following parts: two seat supports, two swivel seats and one trolling motor plug.
Your fishing boat comes equipped with a built in bow trolling motor mount. See Photo #1.
Motor
If a trolling motor will be bow mounted remove the electrical connector alligator clips and attach the male
plug (comes with the boat) matching the wire colors and securely crimping the wire connectors. If the connec-
tors are loose excessive heat will build up at the connection and could damage the wire harness. The wires
can be soldered for more permanent connection.
Trolling motors from 28 – 45 lbs. thrust at 12 VDC are adequate for propulsion and a 30” shaft length is adequate. Longer shaft
lengths can be used as well.
