Can I purchase directly from the Qwest Pontoons factory?
No, all Qwest pontoons are sold and delivered through our Authorized Qwest Dealer network who are set up to handle state and local sales taxes, state watercraft/title registrations, financing, rigging the boat in compliance with state and local regulations, and final delivery to the customer. Dealers also are your local resource for parts, service, and annual maintenance. All rental fleet customers should also purchase through an Authorized Qwest Dealer.
What motor brands are available on a Qwest Pontoon?
The motor powering your new Qwest will depend on the brand(s) that your local Qwest dealer is authorized to sell and service. Most dealers offer (2) or more motor lines so you have a choice and can take advantage of seasonal warranty or discount incentives.
Qwest supports all major motor brands including Honda, Mercury, Suzuki, Yamaha, Tohatsu, as well as electric outboards like Torqeedo Cruise and Minn Kota E-Drive. Contact your local Authorized Qwest Dealer or visit their website to see what motor lines they support.
What pontoon models are available with an electric motor?
All Qwest boat models can be equipped with an electric motor as an alternative to a gas motor. The electric motor will mount at the same position on the transom that a gas outboard would mount. Steering and throttle would still be controlled from the captain’s seat/helm. Electric motors are a great option for all boats 18′ and less.
How do I clean the fabric on my pontoon (bimini top, playpen cover, seat covers)?
Qwest uses Solution™7 fabric for all canvas on our pontoons including bimini tops and boots, playpen covers, and individual seat covers.
Solution™7 is designed to be easy to maintain. It can be washed, or brushed off and rinsed. Proper care and cleaning is important to the life of the fabric. Keeping your cover and top clean is the only way to prevent mold and mildew. For normal care and cleaning add two ounces of mild soap to one gallon of lukewarm water. Clean the fabric with a soft bristle brush. Since thoroughly with cold water and air dry. Applying 303 Fabric Guard after cleaning once a year will increase the water resistance and extend the life of the cover. For stubborn stains or mold add one cup of bleach to one gallon of water and follow the same cleaning instructions. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can damage the fabric so rinse immediately. Cleaning with harsh chemicals such as bleach will require pretreatment with 303 Fabric Guard to restore the water repellency.
How do I order parts and accessories for my Qwest Pontoon?
All parts and accessories should be ordered directly from an Authorized Qwest Dealer. If the part is not in stock with the dealer, they will order the part from our factory for you. Lead times for parts orders are typically longer during the peak spring and summer seasons. Include your boat Serial Number (APX…..) when ordering parts so that we can provide or build the correct part for your boat. Visit or call an Authorized Qwest Dealer to send a part/accessory request.
Where do I go for service or repair of my Qwest Pontoon?
Service, repair, and warranty work required for your Qwest pontoon should be performed by the Authorized Qwest dealer where you purchased the boat. If you are the second or third owner of the pontoon, find a nearby Authorized Qwest Dealer in order to coordinate service.
How do I submit a warranty claim?
All warranty claims must be submitted by an Authorized Qwest Dealer. Warranty work requires pre-approval from the Qwest factory. To start a warranty claim please contact the dealer from which you originally purchased the pontoon through. If you are the second or third owner of the pontoon, find a nearby Authorized Qwest Dealer to send a service/repair request.
