Operation

10.1 General

Before you start, become familiar with the

various component systems and their opera-

tion, and perform a “Pre-Cruise System

Check." A thorough understanding of the

component systems and their operation is

essential to operate the boat safely. This

manual and the associated manufacturers’

information have been provided to enhance

your knowledge of your boat. Read them

carefully, and also, read the book titled

"Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Man-

ual."

Your boat must have the necessary safety

equipment onboard and be in compliance

with the U.S. Coast Guard, local and state

safety regulations. There should be one Per-

sonal Floatation Device (PFD) for each per-

son. Non-swimmers and small children

should wear PFD's at all times. You should

know and understand the “Rules of the

Road" and have had an experienced opera-

tor brief you on the general operation of your

new boat. At least one other person should

be instructed on the proper operation of the

boat in case the operator is suddenly inca-

pacitated.

The operator is responsible for his safety

and the safety of his passengers. When

boarding or loading the boat, always step

onto the boat, never jump.

DO NOT allow passengers to sit on the seat

backs, gunwales, bows, transoms or on fish-

ing seats whenever the boat is underway.

Passengers should be seated to properly

balance the load and must not obstruct the

operator's view, particularly to the front.

Overloading and improper distribution of

weight can cause the boat to become unsta-

ble and are significant causes of accidents.

Know the weight capacity and horsepower

rating of your boat. Do not overload or over-

power your boat.

Remember, it is the operator's responsibility

to use good common sense and sound judg-

ment in loading and operating the boat.

DROWNING OR LOSS OF

CONTROL HAZARD

Ejection or sudden loss of control can

cause death or serious injury from

improper use of seating. DO NOT

stand while driving above engine idle

speeds and make sure cockpit seat is

locked/secured and all passengers are

seated when boat is underway.

Overloading the boat beyond maxi-

mum load or altering the stability,

buoyancy or center-of-gravity can

result in death or serious injury. DO

NOT exceed the maximum load or

alter the center-of-gravity of the boat.

Wet surfaces can generate slippery

conditions which can result in death

or serious injury. Use caution on wet
