| Q | How do I select the right cover for the top part of my engine? |
|
| A |
 To choose the most suitable cover for the top part of your engine, measure it as shown in the Drawing 2 and determine the dimensions that more closely match your model.
*When calculating the height of the engine you should also include a part of the shaft, as shown in Drawing 2, in order to ensure that the engine will be covered completely underneath (apart from the shaft). |
 |
| Q | How do I select the right full body engine cover? |
|
| A |
 To choose the most suitable full-body cover for your engine, you should measure the engine’s height (B) as well as its width (W). In order to calculate correctly the maximum height that the appropriate cover should have, you should deduct from the engine’s height (B) half of its width (W)).
For instance, if the height (B) of your engine is 210cm and its width (W) is 50cm, then the cover that you need should be 185cm (210cm-25cm) high. Therefore, in this case, the correct cover is cover 57331, which is 210cm high, as indicated in the relevant table.

| Q | What are the Boat Cover Specifications? |
|
| A |
  
The ‘SeaCover’ is ideal to cover and protect your boat against rain, dust and sun when you don’t use it. It combines high construction standards with high quality materials and very resistant. Made from extra strong PA coated Polyester 300D for maximum water resistance, it features an elastic cord all around for ideal fit and double stitched seams for long lasting use. Additionally, it has non-scratching aluminium D-rings for extra hull protection. The ‘SeaCover’ can be used in fishing or recreational boats, inflatable or motorboats, with or without cockpit and rails. It is available in silver colour and in 7 sizes depending on the dimensions of the boat.

| Q | Where on the outboard should I mount the hydrofoils? |
|
| A |
The basic rule regarding the position of the hydrofoil is right above the propeller. Every outboard has a type of built-in hydrofoils above the propeller. However most of the times they are too small to give the desired results in steering and planing. The ideal position is for the hydrofoils to be mounted starting a couple centimetres before the propeller (see picture 1, and 2), and thus covering it completely (see picture 5). In this way, when the propeller starts to spin, most of the water will be pushed against the hydrofoil, thus maximising the steering and planning capabilities. If the hydrofoil is mounted too far ahead (see picture 3), then very little water will be pushed against it, or if it is mounted too far at the back (see picture 4), the maximum power of the water will be lost before the hydrofoil.

| Q | Is there a guarantee on the Hercules Inflatable Boats? |
|
| A | The Hercules inflatable boats have a 5-year guarantee on the material (PVC Valmex 1000gr/m2) and their cold-welding. |
|
| Q | What is the weight of the Hercules Inflatable boats? |
|
| A | The weight of the Hercules Inflatable boats varies according to the type of floor used and the length of the boat. They may weigh from 18kg (Hercules 220 model, which includes a wooden slated floor), up to 38kg (Hercules 270 model with a continuous wooden floor and an inflatable keel). (see table below)

|
| Q | What is the diameter of the Hercules inflatable boat's chambers? |
|
| A | The chambers of the Hercules inflatable boats have a diameter of 38cm. |
