• Check the bilge area for debris and excess water.

• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tanks for the fuel to

expand without being forced out through the vent.

• Turn off all electrical equipment except the automatic bilge pumps.

• If you are going to leave the boat for a long period of time, put the battery main switches in the “Off”

position and close all seacocks.

• Make sure the boat is securely moored.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, CLOSE ALL SEACOCKS BEFORE LEAVING THE

BOAT.

10.5 Fishing

Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense. You must always

be conscious of the fact that your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your boat and the safety of

your passengers and other boats in the area.

You must always make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling. If your

boat is equipped with a tower, caution and good common sense must be exercised whenever someone is in

the tower. Most towers are designed for two average-sized people. Remember, weight in the tower raises

the boat's center of gravity and the boat's motion is greatly exaggerated for the people in a tower.

If you are fishing in an area that is crowded with other fishing boats, it may be difficult to follow the rules

of the road. This situation can become especially difficult when most boats are trolling. Being courteous and

exercising good common sense is essential. Avoid trying to assert your right of way and concentrate on staying

clear and preventing tangled or cut lines and other unpleasant encounters with other boats. Also keep in mind

that fishing line wrapped around a propeller shaft can damage seals in the engine lower unit.

10.6 Tower Operation (Dealer Installation)

OPERATION OF THE TOWER CONTROLS

The engines should be started at the lower helm. Monitor the gauges to make sure all systems are normal and

the engines have been allowed to warm up slightly before proceeding to the tower helm. The ignition or restart

switches on the tower are only used to restart an engine in the event it should stall. The shift controls must

be in neutral for the restart switches to be functional.

The following is a list of safety precautions for tower operation:

• Do not operate the boat from the tower in rough sea conditions. The boat’s motions are exaggerated in

the tower and this motion may become excessive in rough seas.
