Maintenance:

Regularly check valves, stitching, ribbons, hooks, screws and nuts on your Takacat boat. Pontoons are more
alive than a plastic hull and their constant movement can cause fatigue damage. It is important to keep the
pontoons sufficiently inflated. Under-inflation will cause more water resistance and thus slowing. Regularly
check the pontoon mounts to the transom and hull and other joints in the tubes. In smaller inflatables
between any loose floorboards and pontoons, it is important to keep areas clean from dirt and debris that
could rub and wear down the pontoon.
Cleaning basically requires no more than a cleanser, a brush and a sponge for managing the cleaning and
maintenance of the boats pontoons.
Soap: Mix the soap with water according to instructions on the package. Scrub the pontoons with a sponge
or scrubbing brush. Rinse off with water. Never use high pressure when cleaning the boat, it can damage
the stitches or fabric of the pontoons, etc.
