USING A MOTOR WITH YOUR PONTOON BOAT
Clamp your motor to the motor mount provided on the rear of your boat and
carefully follow the setup and safety instructions provided with your motor.
Using a motor and battery will affect the weight distribution on your boat.
Before using your boat for the rst time with a motor check and adjust your seat
position and cargo so your boat rides level in the water.
WARNING - THIS PONTOON BOAT IS NOT RATED FOR USE WITH GASOLINE
OR DIESEL OUTBOARD MOTORS.
WARNING - MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES THAT CAME WITH YOUR ELECTRIC MOTOR.
IMPORTANT - A MAXIMUM ELECTRIC MOTOR SHAFT LENGTH OF 36" WITH A
MAXIMUM THRUST OF 30 LBS IS RECOMMENDED.
USING A BATTERY WITH YOUR PONTOON BOAT
Be sure to secure your battery to the rear wire platform so that it will not move or
tip during operation. For the best weight distribution we recommend placing the
battery as close to the seat back (center of the boat) as possible.
WARNING - BATTERIES CAN LEAK POISONOUS GASES OR LIQUIDS OR
EXPLODE. USE EXTREME CARE AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROCEDURES THAT CAME WITH YOUR BATTERY.
WARNING - MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ENGINE AND BATTERY ARE SECURELY
FASTENED TO YOUR PONTOON BOAT BEFORE AND DURING EACH USE.
WARNING - ONLY USE AN APPROVED MARINE BATTERY. USE PROPER
SHIELDING TO PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITS.
