Pedal Boats Top
- Where is the serial number located? The serial number is located in the
back right hand corner on the outside of the hull. The number will be stamped
on a silver plate, starts with HII and is 12 digits long.
- There is water inside my boat. Is this normal? Just like any boat, your
boat may take on some water. Because of its’ flexible nature, a polyethylene
boat is prone to accumulate a small amount of water between the deck and hull.
Water may accumulate between the deck and hull due to rain, waves and
condensation. This is natural, not a defect, and should be drained after use.
Do not return to the retailer. Remove the drain plug located under bow rubrail
and tip the boat up to drain. It is also normal for water to come out where
the deck and hull meet if there is an excessive amount of water. Secure the
drain plug (lubrication may be needed) after draining. Remove battery before
draining your boat.
- How should I store my boat in the winter? Winter can be very hard on
boats. We suggest a mooring cover, which prevents water and debris from
accumulating.
- There is black oil coming out of my bushings and running into the foot
well. Is this normal? After the first few uses you may see a black watermark
down the inside of your boat. This is simply the paint on the crank inside the
bushing wearing off. This is natural and can be cleaned with warm water and
any standard detergents.

- Can I trailer my boat with the motor on? Outboard motors on small boats
should always be removed when trailing.
- What type of motor do I need? A standard short shaft is required. Pro &
Sportfisherman 120's will plane with a 9.9 or 15 hp motor. They may or may not
plane with a smaller motor. Trolling motors of at least 28 lbs thrust are
adequate to move the boat into position.
