PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
It’s fun to be out on the water whether you’re fishing, cruis-
ing, or just soaking up sun. Unfortunately, not all boaters are
responsible individuals, and their foolish actions often spoil
our waterways. Here are several ways you can help protect
the aquatic environment as recommended by the National
Marine Manufacturers Association. Practice them every time
you go out, and you can help assure that our waterways will
remain clean and unspoiled for years to come.
• Observe local and federal marine head rules.
• Pump out the waste holding tank (if your boat has one)
on shore or have a trained person do it for you.
• Know about and use legal bottom paints.
• Use biodegradable cleaning agents whenever possible.
• Don’t litter on or off the water. Take it home!
• Don’t over ll fuel tanks, and always clean up fuel spills.
• Watch your wake and propeller wash.
• Keep your motors nely tuned.
• When shing, practice “Catch and Release.”
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of your boat manual contains important informa-
tion about your Premier pontoon and general procedures to
be followed before operating it.
Capacity Plate
Your boat is certied by NMMA (National Marine Manufactur-
ers Association). It requires the manufacturer to install a ca-
pacity plate stating the maximum load in pounds (occupants
and gear) the boat can safely carry under normal conditions,
the maximum persons capacity, and, if it is an outboard, the
Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD
result in severe personal injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices that MAY result in minor
personal injury or product or property damage.
Immediate hazards that WILL result in
severe personal injury or death.
Crossmembers are bolted to specially designed “M” brackets
welded directly to the upper portion of the tube. “M” brackets
provide greater stability and added strength for the crossmem-
bers. Attached to the crossmembers is a specially developed
marine grade plywood or composite deck that guards against
rot, decay, insect infestation and delamination.
Our rails are anodized or powder coated for protection from
the elements. They are installed 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) above
the deck for better drainage off the deck. Specially designed,
heavy-duty braces provide extraordinary safety and add a
margin of safety for passengers.
You can be sure that the electrical system will work. We use
sealed wiring connectors below deck level designed to keep
connections tight and moisture out.
We use composite or plastic material that reduces water
retention, mold, rotting, environmental waste and pollution.
Our weather-proofed, rotation-molded furniture and our
custom-designed, patented hinges and Bimini top make the
quality of our pontoons stand out from the competition.
After your first outing, you will know that we built your boat
for safety and long-lasting enjoyment.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION STATEMENTS
Three types of hazard communication statements used
throughout this manual call attention to special information
to help avoid dangerous situations and operate your boat
safely.
A List of Warning Labels is available from customer service.
These will be supplied free of charge as replacements for
lost, removed or damaged labels.
Watch for the safety alert symbol. It means
pay attention! Your safety is involved! Failure
to follow the recommendations in a hazard communication
statement may result in property damage, per-
sonal injury or death.
The signal words DANGER, WARNING and
CAUTION identify
hazards and the levels of hazard seriousness. Their selection
is based on the likely consequence of human interaction with
a hazard in terms of the probability of injury and the degree
of severity. Failure to follow the recommendations contained
in any of these statements may result in some form of per-
sonal injury. Definitions for identifying hazard levels with their
respective signal words are as follows:
