Do not stack heavy articles on top of the boat or set it on
narrow supports, i.e. saw horses. Additional weight
and/or narrow supports may cause the hull or deck to
compress and dent over time. If this should happen, most
dents will gradually come out by removing the weight
that caused the dent and placing the boat on a flat surface
in the sun to be warmed. It may take several days of
warm weather, but the polyethylene material will
gradually return to its original shape.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your pedal boat is designed to provide you with many
years of enjoyable service with a minimum of care. Here
are some suggestions for proper maintenance.
Cleaning
General cleaning can be done with soap, water and a
scrub brush. Standard household cleaners, dish soap or
car wash soap are adequate. Be sensitive to the
environment and don’t clean your boat in the lake. Clean
it away from the water.
In salt water, barnacles and other marine life will form on
the hull surface if the boat is left in the water over long
periods of time. Carefully scrape them off periodically
with a putty knife. They’ll be easier to remove if you
keep them wet. Painting the hull with an antifouling
bottom preservative can help minimize barnacle build up.
