• Do not exceed maximum weight capacity. Regardless of the number of persons on board, the
total weight of persons and equipment must not exceed maximum weight capacity.
• Do not operate the PESCADOR PT200-HF under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not fish alone.
• Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
• Dress appropriately for weather and marine conditions; cold water and cold weather can result
in hypothermia.
• Check weather forecasts and beware of offshore winds, currents and safe river levels.

Assembly
General procedure
1. Remove any sharp objects from the area where the boat will be assembled and inflated.
2. Unfold and spread out boat flat.
3. Slide each slatted floor board into its floor passing through opening (3 pieces).
4. Half inflate the boat with pump first.
5. Position wood bench seat
6. Fully inflate the chambers.
7. Check the valves and close carefully to prevent any leakage.
Slatted floar assembly instruction
Slide each slatted floor board into its floor passing opening.
Make sure that each floor board is well centered, as it will be difficult to reposition once the boat is fully inflated.
Assembly instructions / inflation/ deflation
Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your PESCADOR PT200-HF.
Inflate your PESCADOR PT200-HF with a pump designed for inflatable boats, or other low pressure inflatables. These
types of pump will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves of your PESCADOR PT200-HF.
1. Side tube valve(s), please see drawing to the right:
Unscrew the valve cap (1). Push button (2) in and turn approximately 90 degrees (“OUT”
position). Insert the pump hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required
pressure. After inflation, tighten all the valve caps (clockwise). Only the valve(s) cap can
ensure final air tightness. To release air from the side chambers, remove the valve cap (1)
and push button (2) in and turn approximately 90 degrees (“IN” position). (3) : valve base.
2. Max. air pressure: the recommended pressure for this item is for the side tube
chambers: 0.25 bar / 3.60 psi (= 250 mBar).
Any use of an air compressor may result in poor performance or damage to the PESCADOR PT200-HF, and automatically
voids all warranties. If you leave your PESCADOR PT200-HF exposed to the hot sun, check the pressure and deflate it
slightly. Otherwise the PESCADOR PT200-HF may become over inflated and stretch the material. The ambient tempera-
ture affects the tube’s internal pressure : a variation of 1°C/ 1.8°F causes a variation of the pressure in the air chamber
of +/- 4 mBar (0.06psi).

Motor installation
Disassembly / Maintenance
The maximum rated horsepower for our Fishing Boats are:
Read the instruction manual supplied by the outboard motor manufacturer. All outboards are slightly different, and some
require special installation procedures.
General outline:
• Place the motor in the center of the transom.
• Screw the mounting brackets securely to the transom.
1. To deflate your PESCADOR PT200-HF, remove the valve cap from the valves.
2. Remove bench seat, slatted floar boards, motor bracket, and oars.
3. Clean and check the PESCADOR PT200-HF as well as all the accessories. Make sure your boat is completely dry
before storing. Make sure that no sand or gravel remains inside the boat: this could result in abrasion or even
punctures.
4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle, then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from
the valves).
5. Place your boat and equipment in its carry bag.
6. Store your boat in a clean and dry place.
Note: If you install a more powerful engine than the maximum rated horsepower for your boat, you might
lose control of your boat and risk serious injury. Never exceed the maximum rated horsepower.
Note: If the mounting brackets are not tightly secured to the transom, the motor could loosen during use
or even fall from your boat. Ensure they are fastened securely.
PT200-HF
• Max HP : 2.5 / 1.88 kW
Whenever you take your PESCADOR PT200-HF out of the water and deflate it, allow time to completely
air dry. Neither the skin/hull nor the inside chambers will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water
could cause mildew and unpleasant odours.

How to repair small punctures
Warranty Registration Card
Check that the air chamber is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Prepare a round patch no less than 3 inches or 7 centimeters in diameter.
2. Clean the patch and the area surrounding the leak with Alcoholic solution.
3. To contain excess glue, use masking tape to tape off the area around the patch.
4. Apply 3 thin, even coats of repair kit adhesive over the damage surface of your PESCADOR PT200-HF and the patch.
Wait 5 minutes between each coat.
5. After the 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before applying the patch. Use a hand roller to apply the patch evenly.
6. Let dry 24 hours before re-inflating your boat.
1. General
Please fill out and mail in the enclosed Warranty Registration Card right away. You will void your warranty by not filing the
registration card with us. Be sure to enter the Serial #(CIN code = the 12 digit number) you will find on the capacity plate.
2. Care and Preservation
There is very little that you have to do to keep your boat in good condition for many years. You may store it inflated or
deflated. If you leave it outside, raise it up off the ground. If it is going to be left outside, cover it with a tarp (we do not
recommend hanging the boat). If you leave it in the water, you will probably have to drain out rainwater at times. If you
store it inside, we suggest you pick a cool and dry place, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you pack it up
- or mold can accumulate. That is all you need to keep your boat in mint condition for years to come. Most dirt can be
removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Do not sprinkle with powders. Do not store in an area where it is
likely to be exposed to extreme temperatures (above 60°C or below -20°C).
• Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid inhaling glue vapors.
• Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
• Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc) away from the reach of children.
• The repairs on the welds must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the PT200-HF
can perform repairs on the welds themselves.
