Operating, servicing and maintaining a recreational
marine vessel can expose you to chemicals including
engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, service your vessel in a well-ventilated area
and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when
servicing this vessel. For more information go to

Warning
Note: When the oars are not in use, lock the oars into the Oar Clasps to avoid damage.
NOTE: If over-inflation occurs, press the control stem to reduce air pressure to acceptable levels and
securely fasten the pressure valve.
NOTE: First inflate both side chambers 80%, then fully inflate.
NOTE: Pressure gauge is for inflation purpose only, and the value of the pressure gauge is just for
reference, should not be used as a precision instrument.
- Only use Bestway®approved inflation pumps.
- Never use motor-driven high-pressure air pumps as this may result in over-inflation.
- Under and over-inflation will result in safety hazards.
- Always check the inflation pressure before using the boat.
- Never stand on or rest objects on the boat during inflation.
- Never open the cap of air valve while the boat is in use.
- Be sure the valve is tightly closed before using the boat.
Outboard Motor Installation
With the boat fully inflated and in the water, attach your outboard motor onto Engine Mount at the center
of the Transom.
Note:
- Ensure the motor is always fixed on the Transom.
- Read the instruction of outboard motor for correct installation and operation.
- Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage. The maximum motor power
to be used see marking on the product.
Maintance:
1: Inflate according to the PSI marked besides the valve;
2: To avoid the long-time exposure to sunshine or rain, put the outside cover on top for protection when it not
being used;
3: Clean it with mild soap water and soft cloth in case it is not going to be used for a long time. Dry it before
putting them away. Store it at a dry and shady place and keep it out of reach of Children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all the Safety and Operating Instructions. If you don’t follow these instructions, it may cause the boat to overturn
or explode and result in drowning.
1. Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of persons on board, the
total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the seats
/ seating spaces provided.
2. When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load: Always load the craft carefully and
distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
NOTE: The maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard, all provisions and personal
effects, any equipment not included in the light craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel,
etc.).
3. When using the boat, life saving devices such as life jackets and buoys should be pre-inspected and used at all
times.
4. Before every use, carefully inspect all boat components including air-chambers, grab ropes, oars, and air valves, to
ensure everything is in good condition and tightly secured. If you find any damage, please stop to repair it.
5. Buckets, water scoops and air pumps should always be available in case of air leakage or if the boat takes on
water.
6. When the boat is in motion, all passengers must remain seated at all times to avoid going overboard. Keep the boat
balanced. Uneven distribution of persons or load in the boat may cause the boat to overturn and result in drowning.
7. Use the boat near the shore and beware of natural factors such as wind, tide waters and tidal waves. BE AWARE
OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CURRENTS.
8. If one chamber is punctured when the boat is in the water, it may be necessary to fully inflate the other air chamber
to prevent the boat from sinking.
9. Be careful when landing on the shore. Sharp and rough objects such as rocks, cement, shells, glass, etc. may
puncture the boat. To avoid damage, do not drag the boat on rough surfaces.
Storage
1. Remove the Oars from the oarlocks.Note: Keep all accessories for future use.
2. Carefully clean the boat using a mild soap with clean water.Note: Do not use acetone, acid, and/or alkaline solutions.
3. Use a cloth to gently dry all surfaces.Note: Do not dry the product in direct sunlight. Also, never dry with equipment
such as electric blowers.
Doing so will cause damage and shorten the boat’s life span.
4. To deflate, open the Air Valves pushing the control stem in and rotating until the valves stay open. Deflate
all the hull chambers at the same time so the air-pressure drops together. This will prevent damage form
occurring to the boat’s inner structures.
5. Next deflate the Keel.
6. Disassemble the seat and floor.
7. Fold the boat from front to back to remove additional air. You can also use a pump to drain any remaining air.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS:
• The glue is not included in the repair kit due to shipping constraints. You can find silicone-based glue at most retail
outlets. Carefully read the warning labels and closely follow instructions on the back of glue
before attempting the following repair steps.
• Fully clean the area to be repaired.
• Cut the correct size from the repair patch material.
Apply only the amount of glue needed to cover the repair site.
• Press the repair patch firmly to repair site for 30 seconds.
• Wait for 1 hour before inflation.
Registration (For US/Canada customers only)
If you need to register your boat, please have the boat Hull Identification Number and model name ready
and then visit www. bestwaycorp.com to obtain your Certificate of Origin, or you can send e-mail to
[email protected] for the Certificate of Origin. The HIN is located on the starboard outboard

Deflation
10. When choosing an outboard motor, refer to the technical specifications section of this manual to determine
acceptable horsepower ratings.
11. For electrical motors equipped with batteries, note that battery acid can be caustic, which can cause damage to both
skin and boat materials.
12. For motors which use fuels such as gas, oil or petrol, since fuel is a flammable substance, it should be kept away
from open flames. Further, clean the boat material immediately if fuel spatters onto the boat surface. Be aware of
the potential harmful effects of liquids such as battery acid, oil or petrol. The liquids may damage your boat.
13. Inflate according the numbered air chamber and rated pressure of the boat, or it will cause over-inflation and
potential and boat explosion. Exceeding the data given on the capacity plate may cause the craft to be damaged,
overturn and lead to drowning.
14. If you use the tow rings to tow the boat, go slowly to avoid over-towing as damage may occur.
15. Know how to operate a boat. Check in your local area for information and/or training as needed. Inform yourself
about local regulations and dangers related to boating and/or other water activities.
16. The operator of a vessel is responsible for the maintenance and safe conduct of the vessel and the safety of
passengers.
17. Prohibit the product misue, such as, but not limited to: (a) riding seat back, gunwale, or other unsafe position, (b)
failure to use hanhold, (c) overloading or improper loading, (d) excessive speed for the operating conditions, (e)
using a boat in weather or sea conditions beyond the skill or experience of the operator, (f) continued operation with
operator’s visibility blocked or impaired (g) operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and/or (h)
modifications.
18. Boat operation where the boat operator or occupants are not under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
19. Knowledge of federal, state, and/or local regulations concerning operation requirement, including: (a) discharge of
oil, (b) solid waste disposal (Marpol Treaty), (c) marine sanitation, (d) speed, (e) noise, and (f) wake
