Applying Decals
Before applying boat registration decals, clean the area with alcohol or any solvent that does not
Leave a residue. Make sure solvent is put aside and is dry. Using a propane torch, lightly pass
The flame back and forth over the area where the decals will be applied. Do not melt the
surface. This process will enhance the adhesion of the decals.
Trailering
If your Stealth 2000 will be transported on a trailer, here are some important considerations:
Ensure that the trailer has supporting bunks that are 5’ to 8’ long. They should be made from
2” x 4” or 2” x 6” stock turned wide side up. If the trailer doesn’t have bunk supports this size,
you’ll have to make them. Transporting and especially storing a boat on a trailer with too short
or too narrow supports will cause the hull to dent and will significantly reduce performance.
Do not wind the winch too tight. Just enough to snug it against the winch stop is adequate.
Over tightening may distort the boat over time.
Storage
Winter can be very hard on boats. For best results, we suggest our Stealth 2000 Protective Cover
which can be ordered directly through Otter Outdoors. The cover will prevent water and debris
from accumulating.
If possible, store your boat in a garage or barn.
Remove the seats and store them inside.
Don’t fill the boat with gear
Release tension from the winch and tie down straps
Don’t store the boat on sawhorses.
Do not store in direct sunlight. The plastic is UV resistant but long exposure to the sun will
weaken the plastic over time.
