WELCOME ABOARD -
This manual has been prepared to assist you in the operation and care of your new boat. Please read it thoroughly as the
contents can contribute to more effective operation of your boat.
Your boat’s construction, including its mechanical and electrical systems (where applicable) were designed to meet safety
standards in effect at the time the boat was constructed. Some of these standards were mandated by State law, others
are considered industry norms. All these standards were designed to ensure your safety and the safety of other people,
vessels and property around you.
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, only qualified people should perform maintenance on, or in any way
modify your boat, the steering system, engine control system, fuel system or electrical system.
We strongly recommend you follow the instructions provided in this handbook and in the engine owner’s manual, as well
as the accessory instruction sheets included with your boat. We also recommend you perform the following steps:
1. Make certain you receive a full explanation of all systems from the dealer before taking delivery of your boat.
2. Read this manual thoroughly, paying particular attention to the subjects of fuelling, starting, loading limits,
recommendations for safety and warranty.
3. Practice: all potential operating members of the family or friends should be familiar with the operation and
systems of your boat.
4. Participate in a safe boating course if available.
5. Ensure you carefully read the ‘Necessary Maintenance Label’ located beside the compliance label inside your
boat. Failure to adhere to these instructions may void all warranties.
WARNING
Grossly Negligent Operation can be a criminal offence. Some examples of actions that may constitute negligent or grossly
negligent operations are:
• Operating a boat in a swimming area,
• Operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
• Excessive speed in the vicinity of other boats or in dangerous waters,
• Hazardous water skiing practices and
• Bow riding, also riding on seat back, gunwale or transom
• Operating the vessel in hazarded sea conditions beyond the vessels capability
WARNING
A qualified, licensed operator must be in control of the boat at all times. At night, turn on the appropriate running lights and
cruise at a reduced speed. Allow plenty of time to avoid dangerous situations.
