Takacat Owner’s LX Series Manual - 2022
Rowing
Takacat inflatable catamarans are supplied with 2 oars and oar locks. Please make
sure the seat is properly inflated and installed prior to use.
Install the oars in oar lock pins, attach oar lock pin cap screws prior to use.
NOTE: Do not use oars as leavers as they will break.
Motoring
WARNING: DO NOT OVERPOWER AND EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF
THE MOTOR
Overpowering can result in severe handling and/or stability problems with serious
consequences.
When the boat is being powered, passengers should hold onto the lifeline in order to
avoid falling overboard. When operating the motor-powered boat, sit on one of the
hulls.
Rapid acceleration should be avoided to prevent falling overboard backwards.
Regular check should be made on the motor attachment screws. Loose screws will
cause erratic boat operation and possible the loss of your outboard motor!
Onboard, check that the loads are not chafing or puncturing the boat skin.
Beaching
Remember to lift the motor shaft when coming into the beach otherwise you can
cause significant damage to your motor.
Do not drag the Takacat inflatable boat across rocks, sand, gravel or on pavement
as damage may occur to the boat skin.
If the boat is temporarily left on a beach part of the boat should be left in the water so
that the internal heat caused by exposure to sunlight can escape and so that air
pressure in the tubes can decrease.
Cover the boat with a UV Protective Boat Cover to block direct exposure to sunlight if
the boat is to be stored in direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Covers can
be purchased from your local supplier or via
