Reattach cylinder ends to engine cover
lid before operating boat.

If the boat is to be stored outside, cover
it with a vented opaque tarpaulin to
prevent UV (ultraviolet) rays and grime
from affecting the plastic components,
boat finish, as well as preventing dust
accumulation.

tion will dull finishes. The boat must
never be left in water for storage.

For the storage period, block the
wheels and raise the bow slightly
with the trailer jack (if so equipped)
so drainage can take place. Ensure
the drain plug is unscrewed and unob-
structed.
