Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO)
You should receive a MSO with your new boat. Some states may require a MSO for proper registration of your boat. If you plan on
putting an electric motor on then it may be necessary to register it. Please check with your local dealer or state licensing bureau.
Owner’s 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
• Review the maximum capacities on the capacity plate located on the back of the seats. Ensure you are safely
within these limits.
• Make sure your drain plug is secure. The drain plug is in the center bow of the boat just below the rubrail.
See Photo #4.
• Make sure all passengers are wearing Personal Flotation Devices.
• Check for wind conditions, current or wave conditions that would make it difficult to pedal back.
• Ensure children understand that they may get tired pedaling and go too far from shore. Make them aware of wind that may push
them away from shore.
• When leaving shore do not lift the bow and shove the boat backwards. The rudder will jam under the hull and damage the
steering mechanism. Turn the boat around and push it in bow first or set the boat in water deep enough so the rudder doesn’t
contact the bottom.
