MATERIALS/MANUFACTURING
Your canoe is made of Ram-X™. Its great flexibility offers exceptional
shock resistance. This flexibility increases with heat or with the craft’s
prolonged exposure to the sun but may also slightly warp the hull. The
warping disappears when the hull cools and never affects the craft’s
performance.
Ram-X™ is a superior material that was developed and registered
in 1978. It quickly became the benchmark of quality in the industry
thanks to its shock resistance and ability to regain its initial shape
following an impact. Widely hailed by consumers, Ram-X™ is a step
above other materials used in the industry.
GETTING STARTED
Please read all the instructions in this owner’s manual. Keep this
manual in a safe place for future reference if necessary. The manual
consists of:
1- Important information
There is a space provided at the beginning of the manual to record important
information about your canoe (page 3). This information will come in
handy if you need to contact our customer service department.
2- Warranty registration card
As outlined in the warranty section (page 9), you can register your
warranty online at our website (www.pelicansport.com) or by mail
by filling out and returning the registration card. You can find the
registration card in the center of this manual. (page 13).
3- Manufacturer’s Declaration of Origin
Certain governments require a Manufacturer’s Declaration of Origin to complete
the registration. The declaration is located in the center of this manual (page 12).

TRANSPORTATION
The carrying handles at both ends help in the transportation of the
canoe by hand. These handles should not be used to fasten the canoe
onto a vehicule.
• Make sure the canoe is firmly tied down, whether on a vehicle or trailer.
• Before setting out, make sure all accessories have been removed and
packed into the vehicle to avoid damaging or losing them.
PRE-LAUNCH CHECKLIST
• All passengers are wearing an approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD).
• Emergency paddle(s) or oar(s) are on board.
• There is an emergency kit (extinguisher, horn, extra fuses, first aid kit, etc.)
aboard.
• Motor(s) and battery are in good order.
• If using a gasoline outboard motor, always attach it to the canoe with a
canoe motor mount.
• All weight is properly distributed.
LAUNCHING PROCEDURE
• All straps or tie-downs have been removed.
• You step into the center of the boat when boarding, to assure that the boat
remains stable.
• Never board by stepping onto the gunnel.
TRIM ADJUSTMENTS
(Square back canoes only)
• Different load conditions may require different trim angle settings. When
the drive unit (propeller) is closest to the transom, it will tend to push the
bow down when power is applied. If the bow digs excessively into the
water, shift some of the weight to the stern and / or move the propeller
further away from the transom. On the contrary, if the propeller is too far
from the transom, the bow will rise excessively when power is applied.
In this case, move some weight forward in the canoe and / or bring the
propeller closer to the transom.
• Performance depends on the relation between proper weight distribution,
trim angle and engine horsepower.
MOORING/DOCKING
• Always moor boat away from rocks or sharp objects.
• Make sure that the motor is raised before mooring.
• Always moor your boat in water that is deep enough so that the bottom
hull does not get damaged.
• Never moor boat against a dock without proper protection (bumpers) for
the sides of the hull.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
We suggest that you read the information below before using
the boat. Failure to follow the warnings / precautions below may
lead to serious injury or death. Paddle sports can be dangerous
and physically demanding. Participating in paddle sports may put
you at risk of serious injury or death. You should receive qualified
instructions to learn proper paddling techniques, water safety, and
first aid before going boating.
1-Weather and water conditions
Check the weather and water conditions before you go boating. Your boat is
designed to be used only in sheltered waters, lakes, and slow moving streams.
It is not designed for whitewater use. Never go paddling in severe winds,
rain, thunderstorms, choppy waters, strong currents, flood waters, or where
tides will seriously affect your ability to steer the boat or return to shore.
2-Every passenger should always wear a Coast Guard approved
Personal Flotation Device (PFD) when using this boat.
Before going paddling, read the PFD manufacturer’s information pamphlet regarding
the PFD and thoroughly familiarize yourself with how the PFD is to be worn.
3-Never use or consume alcohol, drugs, or any other substance
that may affect your coordination, judgment or ability to safely
operate the boat.
4-Sound device
The Coast Guard requires boaters to have a means of signaling other boaters
of their presence. You should keep a sound device in the boat with you at all
times. If possible, attach the sound device to your Personal Flotation Device.
5-Never stand up in the boat
Standing up in the boat may cause it to capsize. If the boat should
capsize, please note that, in most cases, it is far more dangerous
to attempt to swim to shore than to stay with the boat.
6-Never exceed your ability
Honestly assess your physical capability as to how far
and how long you can paddle and swim.
7-Slippery when wet
The hull material is extremely slick when wet. Always wear slip-
resistant shoes and stay in the center of the boat.
8-Hypothermia
Boating accidents in cold water are very dangerous. Hypothermia, the loss
of body heat due to immersion in cold water, can be deadly. Survival time
can be as short as 15 minutes in 35°F (2°C) water. Dress appropriately
for weather conditions, wearing a wet or dry suit if necessary.
7
9-Never paddle alone
It is best to have someone with you in case of an emergency or accident.
Also, always tell someone your boating plans, including where you are
going, how long you’ll be gone, and how many people you’ll be with.
10-Never allow minors to use this boat without adult supervision.
11-Always familiarize yourself with the body of water where you
will be paddling.
Learn what hours boating is permitted, whether there are any known hazardous
conditions and where you can get help quickly in case of emergency or accident.
12-Always abide by all Coast Guard regulations and State and local
laws, regulations, ordinances, and rules concerning boating and
boating safety.
Check with the Coast Guard and State and local authorities concerning
proper boat handling and the proper equipment to be carried
on board, such as lights and sound-producing devices.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The best way to clean your canoe is to wash it with lukewarm water
and mild soap. Do not use harsh abrasives. Regular cleaning will
keep your canoe looking like new. Never attempt to paint the canoe
because it will not stick to the hull. If the aluminum gunnels oxidize
from exposure, occasionally clean them with a good aluminum
cleaner / polish.
STORAGE
• The best way to store your canoe is to simply set it on a flat surface.
Never store it on sawhorses.
• If outdoors, cover it with a tarpaulin.
• Do not leave straps or ropes tightly wound around the hull for any
extended period of time, especially in warmer weather.
• The hull surface, much as the exterior finish of a car, will better
retain its appearance if not exposed to the sun while in long-term
storage.
8
CAUTION
Gravel and small rocks tend to accumulate beneath the keelson.
Unless removed, these small rocks can wear a hole in the hull. As
often as possible, turn the boat on its side and while pushing the
bottom away from keelson wash out any rocks or gravel.
Square back canoeS
Some water may accumulate between the hull and liner due to
paddling, or rain. This is not a defect. To drain, tip the canoe on its
bow.
