  To address difficulty in draining water from your Stearns Boat, begin by wiping off excess water using a highly absorbent sponge or towel. For quicker drying, keep the canoe inflated in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight. After deflating the canoe, briefly hang it from the molded handles with the seats removed and the seating compartment exposed. To prevent mold, ensure the boat is completely dry before packing or folding it.
