Use the following information about seat placement as guide to help you setup your boat for optimum balance in the water. After setup, load your boat with the gear you would use fishing, and try your boat in shallow water to determine if further seat position adjustment is necessary for optimum weight distribution.

T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G If your boat appears to be losing air, it might not be because of a leak. Changes in air temperature, elevation and use on cold water (which can cool the air inside the pontoon bladders) can all have an effect on the air inside the bladders. If none of these factors have changed, you may need to look for a leak.
If this boat fails due to a defect in workmanship and materials within two years from the date of purchase Classic Accessories will repair or replace it free of charge. Inflating the pontoons without the inflation adaptor will invalidate this warranty.
