Sylvan pontoon info

#1 Post by wijames » Wed Nov 05, 2014 6:45 am

I was surprised to see that there is no contact info for the Sylvan Company on their website. I also found that the only dealer in my area (still 50 miles away) can’t seem to answer the questions I have about the boat so how do Sylvan owners get info about older boats? Specifically now I'm trying to find out if the toons on my 2000 Elite are multi chamber and if they are foam filled but I'm sure I will have other questions in the future. So where do I go for answers?

Google is your friend:

Your tubes are not foam filled, and I'm 99.9% sure your baffles have a small hole in the bottom so they drain out the back if you have rear drain plugs. All round tubes are chambered (for strength) but not all have separate sealed compartments. Keep in mind the hole is up about 3/4 of an inch so if you have water present get the tongue of the trailer up as high as possible so most of it runs out the rear.

Thank you, My boat is on a lift at a Marina so I'll have to have the lift operator raise it for me to get the last bit out. Thanks Again.
