Upright, Temporary:
Be sure that the battery hold down strap is
secured. Remove all items from the cooler
-
storage compartment and
the passenger area. Rest the boat on a flat surface on the Beach Buddy
and raise the bow until the boat is completely upright and resting on its
transom. Be sure that your Go
-
Float is out of the wind so as not to blow
over.
Upright, Long Term:
Follow the above procedure, but to extend the
life of your battery, remove it first. Store the battery on a wooden
surface, such as a piece of lumber, indoors. Use a trickle charger about
every 4
-
6 weeks to keep the battery powered up.
IMPORTANT
! Use a heavy line attached to the bow eye to secure
your Go
-
Float to a solid fixture, such as a rafter. This will prevent your
Go
-
Float from accidently falling over. Do not store upright outdoors
—
the wind may blow the boat over. Upright storage is not recommended
for the Vortex.
Storage
Beaching
IMPORTANT!
When your Go
-
Float is on shore in a horizontal
position, it is recommended that
you
do not step
into the boat. Seri-
ous damage may occur to the hull,
deck, and Beach Buddy
TM
.
Battery
The battery included with your boat
is sealed, so do not worry about it
leaking during upright storage.
Boarding Safely
With your Go
-
Float in the water, to
safely board, step as far as you are
able into the center aft portion of
the seat. This will keep the boat as
stable as possible while you are
boarding. This will also place your
weight onto the strongest area of
the deck. Reverse the procedure
for safe disembarking.
