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.

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