Capri 21’ - 23’ • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Engine & Accessories Guidelines
Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance
and service. Installing different engines or other accessories may cause unwanted
handling traits. Should you choose to install a different engine or to add accessories
that will affect the boat’s running trim, have an experienced marine technician per-
form a safety inspection and handling test before using your boat again.
Be advised that certain modifications to your boat can result in cancellation of your
warranty protection. Check with your dealer before making any modifications to
your boat.
The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation
and maintenance manuals. Read and understand these manuals before operating the
engines and accessories.
Qualified Maintenance
Failure to maintain your boat’s systems as designed could violate the laws in your
jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or
accidental death. Follow the instructions provided in the Sport Boat Owner’s Man-
ual, this Owner’s Manual Supplement, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory
instruction sheets/manuals included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
NOTICE
When storing your boat please refer to your engine’s operation and mainte-
nance manuals.
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, only qualified people should
perform maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system, propul-
sion system, engine control system, fuel system, environmental control system,
or electrical system.
WARNING!

CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THIS MANUAL 3
Capri 21’ - 23’ • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Special Care For Moored Boats
If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its
hull bottom. This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance
and may damage the gelcoat.
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle
brush and a solution of soap and water.
Safety Standards
Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards in effect at the time it was constructed. Some of these standards were man-
dated by law. All of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of
other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this supplement, read the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, warning labels,
and all literature in your owner’s packet for important safety standards and
hazard information.
NOTICE
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on
moored boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. Cover the barrier coating with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints. Ask your local
dealer about the laws in effect in your area.
DANGER
PERSONALSAFETYHAZARD! DO NOT allow anyone to ride on
parts of the boat not designated for such use.
Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck, bow riding, gunwale riding
or occupying the transom platform or the aft sunlounge cushions while under-
way is especially hazardous and WILL cause personal injury or death.
DANGER!
!
DANGER
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! Always secure the anchor and other loose
objects before getting underway. The anchor and other items that are not
properly secured can come loose when the boat is moving and cause personal
injury or death.

NOTICE

CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THIS MANUAL 5
Capri 21’ - 23’ • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year. Called the
"silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen. The effects are
cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
Sources of CO
Sources of CO include:
To correct stationary situations a and/or b:
•Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
•If possible, move your boat away from the source of the CO.
To correct running situations c and/or d:
•Trim the bow down.
•Open windows and canvas.
•When possible, run the boat so that the prevailing winds will help dissipate
the exhaust.
IMMEDIATELY take corrective action when CO is detected (see, Carbon
Monoxide Alarm System, on the next page).
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD! Carbon monoxide
gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous. All
engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as
exhaust. Direct and prolonged exposure to CO will cause BRAIN
DAMAGE or DEATH. Signs of CO poisoning include headache,
nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness.
DANGER!
!
a. Using the engine or generator
when the boat is moored in a
confined space.
b. Mooring close to another boat that
is running its engine, generator, or
any other CO source.
c. Running the boat with the trim
angle of the bow too high.
d. Running the boat without through
ventilation (station wagon effect).

6 CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Capri 21’ - 23’ • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Factors increasing the effects of CO include:
•Age.
•Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke.
•Consumption of alcohol.
•Lung disorders, heart problems, and pregnancy.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm System
Your boat may feature a carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm system. DO
NOT DISCONNECT THE
ALARM SYSTEM. Read and
understand the manufacturer’s
instructions for your CO alarm
system. If you did not receive an
instruction manual, call (800) 383-
0269 and one will be mailed to
you. If your boat is not equipped
with a carbon monoxide alarm,
consider purchasingone from your
dealer or marine supply store.
What To Do If Carbon Monoxide Is Detected
•Immediately ventilate any enclosed spaces that are occupied by people and reset
your CO alarm.
•Immediately move anyone showing any symptoms of CO poisoning into fresh
air. See a doctor if any symptoms persist. If the person is unconscious, immedi-
ately administer oxygen or CPR and call for emergency help.

CHAPTER 3: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS
Electrical System (12Volt DC)
Thoroughly read and understand this section, the electrical sections of the Sport
Boat Owner’s Manual and all accessory manuals included in your boat’s owner’s
packet. Wiring diagrams are provided in Chapter 4 of this supplement.
EXTREME FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
and EXPLOSION HAZARD!
To minimize the risks of fire, electric shock and explosion:
• NEVER install knife switches or other arcing devices in the fuel
compartments.
• NEVER substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition
and fuel system parts were designed and manufactured to comply with
rules and regulations that minimize risks of fire and explosion.
• Ensure all of the battery switches are in the OFF position before perform-
ing any work in the engine spaces.
• DO NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualified personnel should install batteries and/or perform mainte-
nance on the electrical system.
DANGER!
!
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where
they can be accidently ignited. Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the
engine and fuel compartments for fumes or accumulation of fuel. Always
use the bilge blowers for at least four minutes prior to engine starting,
electrical system maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to
open flame or sparks. It is also important that no one smoke anywhere
near the batteries.
WARNING!
!
CAUTION!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running since
damage may occur to your boat’s electrical system components.
• The battery charging systems (alternators and battery charger) are
designed to charge conventional lead-acid batteries. Before installing gel-
cell (or other new technology) batteries, read and follow the battery
charger’s operating instructions.
