The Perfect Family Recreational Canoe

Congratulations on the recent purchase of your new WaterQuest canoe! You have purchased a canoe from one of the nations leading

manufacturers of small boats. Your canoe represents years of commitment to product design, excellence in engineering and quality in

manufacturing. With proper care and maintenance your canoe should last for many years to come. Please call our helpful and knowledgeable

Customer Support Department if you have any questions or concerns.

MATERIALS

Your canoe 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 distorteded.

BOAT SET-UP

Recommended Motor & Battery

Square Stern models come equipped with a built-in motor transom designed for an electric trolling motor.

Maximum motor size: 40 lb. thrust standard shaft length.

Many trolling motors come with “alligator clips” or “ring connectors” for direct connection to a battery.

Recommended battery: 12 Volt DC.

NOTE: Be sure to connect the same color wires together. The RED wire on the plus is positive (+) and the BLACK wire is

negative (-). Consult the trolling motor instructions for more details or call Customer Service.

Important: Motors should always be removed when transporting or storing.

Battery Location

The battery may be placed either between the back seat and the stern of the boat or behind the center seat. It is recommended

securing the battery to the boat with a strap.

Paperwork

The following documents should come with your new canoe.

Warranty Registration Card

Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO)

Some states may require a MSO for proper registration of your canoe. Please check with your local dealer or state licensing bureau.

Owners Manual

Keep your owner’s manual for future reference. It is a good idea to write down the following information:

Applying Decals

Before applying boat registration decals (if required), clean the area with alcohol or any solvent that does not leave a residue. Make sure solvent is

put aside and is dry. Using a propane torch, lightly pass the flame back and forth over the area where the decals will be applied. Don’t try to heat

the surface. This process will enhance the adhesion of the decals.

BEFORE LEAVING SHORE & SAFETY PROCEDURES

• It is recommended to keep paddles onboard even if you are using a motor.

• Make sure the battery weight is distributed evenly onboard.

• Check the weather conditions especially wave conditions in open water. Anticipate changing weather conditions and act

accordingly.

• Review the maximum capacities on the capacity plate. Ensure you are safely within these limits.

• Make sure all passengers are wearing Personal Flotation Devices.

• Take an extra paddle.

• Let someone know where you are going and when you will return.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

With minimal care and maintenance, your boat has been designed to provide you with many years of enjoyment.

• Your canoe 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.

• Periodically check the integrity of all fasteners to ensure proper use.

• 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.

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.

STORAGE

• If possible, it is best to store your canoe inside for the winter otherwise store upside down. Do not store the canoe on sawhorses right side up. If

it’s stored upside down, position the supports about 1/3 of the way in from each end. Do not pile gear on top of the canoe.

• Motors should always be removed when storing.
