Frequently asked questions

  • How should I store my canopy cover when not in use?

    It is recommended to remove the canopy before taking your boat off the lift for the season. Your boat will provide an easy platform to work from. Once the canopy has been removed, lay it out on a clean, dry area (grass is fine). Turn the canopy inside out, so the logo is folded in. Make sure your canopy is dry so it doesn’t develop mold or mildew while storing. Fold the sides in and square up the corners. Fold it 3-4 times the LONG way, folding in towards the middle on each side. Then fold in from the ends toward the middle, 3-4 times. Store in a clean, dry place. Storing in a plastic bag or storage container will keep pests and dust/dirt off your canopy.

  • How do I install my canopy cover?

    There is no designation for front and back. Your canopy cover should come with coil hooks, shock bungee cord, and s-hooks. Attach the s-hooks onto the thin metal strap on the inside of the frame. Center one between each of the canopy’s ribs. Unfold the canvas cover over the top of the canopy and pull it into place. Run the shock cord through all of the D-rings on the cover, making sure the cord runs BEHIND the canopy uprights (this will make it easier to take off later). Tie the coil hooks to the ends of the shock bungee cord (if this hasn’t been done previously). Hook the shock cord ends together or into the next D-ring. Then loop the shock cord onto each of the s-hooks you previously placed onto the canopy frame. The shock cord will make a triangular pattern around the inside of the canopy.

  • How do I care for my motorized winch kit battery?

    You need to check the water level every 6 to 12 months to ensure the small, square lead plate in each cell of the battery is submerged. If the lead plates are not submerged, you need to add water. Use distilled water only. The battery manufacturer should have detailed instructions on how to best care for your battery.

  • Why is my motorized winch kit battery dead?

    Marine batteries are good for approximately 2-5 years. Temperature changes and over-charging can reduce the life of your battery. Worry less about dead batteries by adding a solar panel, which trickle charges your battery for optimum performance.

  • What kind of battery is recommended for my Porta-Dock motorized winch kit?

    Deep cycle group 24 marine batteries are recommended.
