CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With minimal care and maintenance, your boat has been designed to provide you with many years of enjoyment.
• Drain any water accumulated between deck and hull.
• Your pedal boat can be cleaned with warm water and any standard detergents. More difficult stains, such as brackish watermarks
may be cleaned with a petroleum based cleaner. Read the manufacturers' instructions carefully before using any cleaner.
• If your boat is used in salt-water environments it is suggested that the boat and components be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water
after each use. See optional accessories for salt-water upgrade.
• Your pedal boat comes standard with our exclusive oil impregnated bronze bushings. They are commercial quality and don’t need
frequent lubricating. After the first few uses you may see a blue or teal watermark down the inside of your boat. This is simply the
paint on the crank inside the bushing wearing off. This is normal and can be cleaned as above.
• Use some care when beaching the boat. Avoid dragging it across asphalt, concrete or sharp rocks to prevent excessive wear and
abrasion to the hull bottom.
• Polyethylene is a somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its’ original molded
shape if distorted. If this occurs follow these steps:
1. Relieve the pressure that caused the dent or distortion by supporting the boat differently or removing gear.
2. Place the boat in the warm sun. Usually the south side of a building is the warmest spot. As the boat warms up usually (but
not always) the boat will return to its original molded shape. This may take a few hours or a couple of weeks depending upon
outside temperatures and the degree of distortion.
STORAGE
• If possible, it is best to store your pedal boat inside for the winter. If stored outside custom mooring covers that prevent water and
debris from accumulating are available from either your local marine dealer or direct from KL Industries.
• When storing your boat, open the drain plug and stand it on its front bow to ensure proper drainage. Either store it on its bow or
turn it upside down.
• Don’t allow water to accumulate between the deck and hull and freeze. Freezing damages the polystyrene flotation foam.
• Don’t place the boat on 4x4’s or sawhorses. Dents will form in the hull.
