Instructions / Assembly

between the deck and hull due to rain, waves and condensation. This is normal, not a defect, and should be drained after each
use. Do not return to the retailer. The drain plug is located in the bow of the boat on the right side above the rubrail. See Photo
#3. Please be sure to secure the drain plug after draining. Remove battery before draining your boat.
4. Can I trailer my boat with the motor on? Outboard motors on small boats should always be removed when trailing.
5. What type of motor do I need? The Sportsman is rated for motors up to 3 HP. Most consumers simply use a 12 VDC trolling
motor from 28 – 45 lbs. thrust either bow or transom mounted.
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. As the plastic warms it will usually (but not always) return to its molded shape. This process may take one day to two
weeks.
