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 infl ated or
defl ated. If you leave it outside, raise it up off the ground. If it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves, berries
or rain, 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 in a closet, basement or garage, we suggest you pick a cool, dry spot, 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. SoftScrub
works exceedingly well. 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 -12°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 P265-HF
can perform repairs on the welds themselves.
