How to install Barletta flagpole?
Does the RGB control the underwater lights and below deck (side) lights or are they white all the time?
The RGB lighting control only changes the interior lighting. The underwater and under deck lights are white all the time. This was a conscious decision made by Barletta Pontoon Boats, taking into account all the varying, and increasingly more strict, regulations concerning exterior/interior lighting while boating. While we believe the white lighting is the best choice for exterior lights, we recommend checking with your local authorities to fully understand the rules and regulations in place where you boat!
Does the USB station on the helm connect to the stereo AND charge or just connect to the radio?
The USB station on the helm allows a phone to connect AND charge simultaneously.

How do I clean the exterior of my Barletta? What cleaners are safe to use?
Exterior cleaning recommendations are listed in the Owner’s Section.
What steps do I need to take in order to use my Barletta in saltwater? (the boat is NOT a Coastal Edition to begin with)
The boat should be washed thoroughly after each use. Additionally, the lifting strakes should be rinsed using the built in flush port, and the outboard motor should be flushed per the engine manufacturers recommendations.
Sealegs mounting place and length
Consult your authorized dealer for these recommendations.
Boatlift layout – what boatlift is best? Should the lift be placed under the toons or under the deck?
While both types of lifts are acceptable, the lift that provides the most support is always ideal. Lift designs may vary depending on your area, so it’s best to consult your dealer.
How do I charge my batteries?
Charging your batteries should be done with the battery switch in the “Off” position. Be sure to use a charger that is compatible with the type of battery your dealer installed in your boat.
Why does my fuel gauge bounce?
Fuel gauge readings can bounce due to rougher water conditions and lower fuel levels. The lower the fuel level, the more room in the tank to allow fuel to slosh and create erratic fuel readings.
Weight limit on boarding ladder?
The boarding ladder has more than adequate weight capacity for one person.
How do I turn on the satellite radio on?
Barletta Boats do not come equipped with a Satellite Tuner/Antenna. These items need to be installed and then the Satellite system needs to be activated through your provider. Tuner/Antenna kits are available through your dealer.
Bimini stalls when going up what should I do?
Give it about 15 seconds and try again. The issue could be voltage related, so if your boat is equipped with dual batteries, try switching to the “Combine” setting and retry. If that doesn’t resolve, please consult your dealer.
How can I adjust my pet bowl from being loose?
The dish can be removed and then the tracks can be snugged up a bit to prevent it from opening while underway. Best to consult your dealer on proper techniques.
What prop is right for my boat?
Prop selection varies by engine and boat models. If you’re concerned you don’t have the correct propeller installed, consult your dealer and they can confirm the correct propeller.
How does the bilge pump work?
The bilge pumps are located in the ski locker and the anchor/cooler storage. The pumps have a built in wet switch so they will operate automatically when water is present. The discharge tube is located above the toon and covered by the underbelly.

What is the transfer button near the throttle for?
The transfer button comes along with the throttle from Mercury. It's used for boats with dual helm controls such as a boat with a flybridge. Since we've only got one helm on each boat, it's just a dud button.
