If you purchased your boat from a dealer, it likely is assembled
already. However, your Blue Sky Boatworks boat was designed to be

To assemble, lay out the parts as shown below.

Align deck posts to hull receptors; depress push pins and slide hulls
with equal pressure until push pins engage. Repeat for other hull.

Bungee tether is inserted in the factory. To attach wheels to frame,
stretch bungee leaving a little tension so that wheel unit can be

and tightening the screws.

(C) FLEX DRIVE
All Blue Sky Boatworks boats come standard with the patent-pending
FlexDrive System. Please consult the FlexDrive manual included before
attempting to install the Drive.
11
(D) TRANSPORT.
You have multiple options when transporting your Blue Sky Boatworks
boat. As the boats can be assembled/disassembled in a few minutes
no component exceeds 46 pounds, a single person with a roof rack
on his or her car can manage just ne. Of course a pick-up truck or
trailer makes things a little easier. To avoid damage, always detach the
FlexDrive upper unit and retract the lower unit and the rudder when
transporting; failure to do so can void your warranty.
(D1) CAR TOP.
Disassemble the boat as shown on Page 5. It’s important to get the order
right when car topping in order for the boat to ride securely without
damage to boat or roof rack. The two hulls t nicely atop the aluminum
deck as shown. Secure hulls to deck and lash down the deck to the rack.
Transport the Captain’s Seat and Upper drive unit inside the vehicle.
(D2) PICK-UP TRUCK.
Full-size, mid-size or even compact pick-ups like a Tacoma, your Blue Sky
Boatworks boat will slide easily into the bed. A bed extender is HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED, and mandatory on small pick-up trucks.
(D3) TRAILER.
A number of trailers on the market can accommodate your boat.
Tennessee Trailer has designed a model specically for Blue Sky
Boatworks. Contact BSB customer service to learn more:
931-738-BLUE (2583) / INFO@BLUESKYBOATWORKS.COM
12
(E) STORAGE AND CARE.
When not in use, store your Blue Sky Boatworks boat out of the weather
and direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can fade your boat over time
and in extreme heat can warp the hull. Protection from the elements
discourages insects/small animals from making a home of your boat.
Always drain hulls completely after each use. Failure to follow proper
storage and care practices can void your warranty.
(E4) FOR STICKY ADJUSTMENTS.
To keep seat and rudder controls operating smoothly, periodically spray
components with dry silicone.
(E3) KEEP IT CLEAN.
After each use it’s a good idea to spray down the entire boat and with a
hose; use a sponge or soft brush and dish soap on stubborn areas.
(E2) DO NOT STORE LIKE THIS.
Avoid storing your boat on saw horses or on its edge; never hang your
boat from the carry handles or padeyes.
(E1) DO STORE LIKE THIS.
Retract the rudder and lower drive unit and store your boat on a at,
solid, level surface out of the elements and away from direct sunlight.
CUSHION BENEATH HULLS RECOMMENDED WHEN STORING ON SOLID SURFACE
WHEN SUSPENDING, CONNECT TO FRAME ONLY
13

accessories that let you customize your boat to your adventure. The 360°
Angler offers a number of additional features specically designed for
the shing enthusiast. Modications by the owner that require drilling
into the hulls/frame are not recommended and, in most cases, can void
the warranty.
