WARRANTY
Your new Premier boat is backed by a limited express war-
ranty. The complete warranty will be provided to in writing at
time of delivery. If you didn’t receive a copy you may request
one, by emailing a request with your hull ID number clearly
listed, to warranty@pontoon.com. It is important to understand
all the terms of the warranty. If you have a problem with your
boat, contact your dealer immediately to determine warranty
coverage. When you contact your dealer, please have the hull
and engine serial numbers for the items needing repair read-
ily available. If the dealer fails to correct the problem, contact
Premier Marine within 10 days by calling 651-462-2880,
1-800-815-6392 or emailing customerservice@pontoon.com.
If you have any questions regarding the Limited Express War-
ranty, you must contact Premier customer service. The war-
ranty registration must be properly completed with Premier
Marine within ten (10) days after the purchase or delivery,
whichever is first, in order to validate the warranty.
In some cases, we may ask you to return the boat or any
part(s) to Premier’s facility in Wyoming, Minnesota, for review
and/or repair. Any costs including rigging, de-rigging, travel,
lodging, lost work, shipping, etc., will be your responsibility.
TRANSFER OF WARRANTY
The warranty transfer request from the original owner to the
second owner must be applied for within fteen (15) days
after the second owner purchase in order to validate the war-
ranty transfer. A copy of the Bill of Sale or Purchase Order
must accompany the warranty transfer request. The request
should come in the form of a letter or memo listing all serial,
hull ID, and model information. This information can be faxed
to 651-462-2881, mailed to P.O. Box 509, Wyoming, MN
55092, or emailed to warranty@pontoon.com. Please provide
Premier with original and second owners’ full names.
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER MANUALS
Premier Marine purchased various equipment and compo-
nents from other manufacturers and installed them on your
boat while it was being built. The suppliers of standard and
optional equipment maintain their own manufacturer’s war-
ranty and service facilities. Record all pertinent information
for your records. Failure to register any part of your boat
could result in loss or reduction of warranty.
Most OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have also
provided operation and maintenance manuals for your boat’s
equipment. Keep the OEM manuals with your Owner’s
Manual in a safe and accessible place. Pass them along to
the new owner if you sell your boat.
Please note that, in some cases, information in this manual
only summarizes more detailed information in the equipment
manuals. Information in the OEM manuals takes precedence
over information in this Owner’s Manual.
OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES
Boating is an enjoyable and relaxing leisure time activity. How-
ever, responsibility is also a part of boating. You are respon-
sible for, but not limited to, the following:
• Keeping boat covered when not in use
• Registering your boat with state authorities
• Registering the Premier warranty within 10 days of date
of purchase
• Providing adequate insurance
• Obeying the rules of the road
• Maintaining and cleaning your boat and its equipment
• Acquiring and maintaining safety equipment
• Safety training of passengers and crew
• Understanding the operation of boat systems and
equipment
• Making seaworthiness/operational inspections
• Operating your boat safely
• Avoiding the use of alcohol and drugs
• Complying with environmental regulations
• Filing accident reports whenever it is necessary
Premier Marine recommends that all boaters take safe boat-
ing courses. We also believe that boaters have one more
major responsibility—the environment. While you’re out on
the water, keep in mind the future of our waterways and the
marine life that make them their home. Do everything you
can to preserve the natural habitats we still have. Keep them
free of garbage and debris. Preserving our waterways and
habitats now can help assure the pleasure of boating for
others for years to come.
BOATING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Boat Registration
Every boat equipped with propulsion machinery of any type
must be registered in the main state of usage. In nearly all
states, this means registration with the designated state
agency. In a few jurisdictions, the Coast Guard retains regis-
tration authority. All motorcraft not documented by the U.S.
Coast Guard must display registration numbers. Registration
numbers and validation stickers must be displayed on the
boat according to regulations. Your Premier Marine dealer
will either supply registration forms or tell you where they
may be obtained. The registration agency will issue a certifi-
cate which must be aboard when using your new boat.
Some states and localities have limits on speed, noise and
trailer specifications. It is your responsibility to be aware
of these laws and limits and to be sure that your boat (and
trailer) complies. Consult with your local Sheriff Marine
Patrol, local Coast Guard ofce, or State Department of
Natural Resources.
Insurance
The boat owner is legally responsible for any damages or
injuries caused by the boat. In most states this is true even
if someone else is operating the boat when the accident
occurs. You should carry adequate personal liability and
