Ignition Switches, Engine
Shut-off Cord/Lanyard
Each Sailsh boat will be equipped with a Yama-
ha or Mercury ignition switch with an emergency
engine shut off cord/lanyard.
This lanyard should be worn at all times while
operating the vessel, if the vessel operator falls
or moves a unsafe distance away from the helm
controls the lanyard will pull out causing the en-
gine to shut down.
Make sure the lanyard is not attached to a part of
your clothing that could be easily torn free caus-
ing the switch not to pull. See your YAMAHA or
MERCURY owner’s manual for more information
on this safety feature.
Engine Break-In Period
Each new outboard motor will need to go through
a break in period to make sure all of the internal
moving parts and components have a chance to
correctly mate.
For more information on the break in period spe-
cic to your engine please refer to your YAMAHA
or MERCURY Owner’s manual.

Fuel-Water Separator - Yamaha
All Sailsh Boats Rigged with Yamaha motors are factory
installed with 10 Micron Yamaha fuel water separators.
Each engine will have its own lter. These lters can be
accessed in the bilge access door located at the aft of the
boat. For more information on these lters please review
your Yamaha Owner’s Manual
Plug and Play Wiring
Deutsch Connectors are quick discon-
nect plugs used for durability and ease
of replacing components in your Sailsh
Boat.
These water resistant plugs are for use
in electrical systems where moisture,
salt spray, dirt and dust could affect the
electrical connections or systems.

UFLEX Steering
System
UFLEX has been the choice for steering
for Sailsh boats for the last three years
because of the quality of the USA built
products.
Every helm comes standard with a full
stainless steel shaft; cylinders are built
with carbon steel pistons, coupled with
extra-large end caps to prevent leakage.
All of their connection materials are
304 stainless steel that has been elec-
tro-polished and passivated.
For more information on the service and
maintenance of your UFLEX system
please refer to your UFLEX owner’s
manual or view it electronically at http://

Bilge Pumps
All Sailsh Boats are furnished with Rule Bilge
Pumps. These pumps have an external Float Switch.
This is engaged when the water level rises in the bilge
and the oat rises in the switch causing the pump to
turn on. The pump will continue to run until enough
water is removed for the oat to drop back down,
disengaging the pump.
The pump also has a manual switch function on the
main switch panel. These pumps are wired into your
boat bypassing the battery switch so that they have
power at all times, this allows the automatic feature
to work while you are away from the boat and the
batteries are turned off.

Raw water Washdown system
The raw water wash down on your Sailsh Boat is powered
by a Shur-o Pro Blaster Pump which creates a pressur-
ized system, once the pump is turned on and pressure is
created the pump will shut down until more pressure is
needed.
To operate make sure the seacock is in the open position.
The hose tting for the wash down is located in the transom
splash well, to use simply attach a hose with a nozzle and
turn the switch on. Pressure will build up in the hose and
the nozzle and as you spray the pump will continue to
engage as needed.

Trim Tab Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
The attractive surface appearance of
stainless steel cannot be regarded
as completely maintenance-free. Our
304 Series Stainless Steel may in fact
stain, discolor, or accumulate a layer of
surface contamination (dirt and grime)
during the normal course of the life
cycle.
Minute particles of dust and rust may
adhere to the stainless steel during
shipping, installation or storage at
OEM or retail locations.
Also, please remember that some
types of stainless steel fasteners tend
to “bleed” over the tabs and onto the
boat. To achieve maximum corrosion
resistance, the surface of the stainless
steel must be kept clean and free of all
these contaminants.
NOTE: LENCO RECOMMENDS AN
ACID AND WATER SOLUTION TO
CLEAN THE TRIM TAB BLADES.
MARYKATE’S ON & OFF PRODUCT
IS A GOOD CHOICE. RINSE THOR-
OUGHLY UPON COMPLETION.
BIODEGRADABLE, BUT PLEASE
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE APPLYING.
Sacricial Anodes
for your Lenco SS
Trim Tabs
Be aware that stray currents in your
marina or in a visiting marina can
cause damage to your trim tab blades
if not protected by sacricial anodes.
• The addition of anodes on each tab
will deter electrolysis.
• Do not paint under the anode or the
anode itself.
• Check Anode condition frequently.
Replace when necessary.
Visual inspection of
system
• Periodically inspect all wires,
mounting brackets, and hardware
for damage.
• Make sure all mounting brackets
are secure and working properly.
• Periodically test system for smooth
operation.

Vinyl Care and Cleaning
All cleaning methods must be followed by a thorough rinse with clean warm water.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and industrial cleaners can cause damage and discoloration and are not
recommended. Dry cleaning uids and lacquer solvents should not be used as they will remove printed pattern and gloss. Waxes should
be used with caution as many contain dyes or solvents that can permanently damage the protective coating. *Suntan lotion, tree pollen,
wet leaves, and some other products can contain dyes that stain permanently.
*Always Remove Stains Immediately!
Failure to care for your vinyl properly, or use of improper
cleaners may void your warranty & damage your vinyl.
