Engine/Accessories Guidelines
Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service. Installing a different
engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics. 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 perform a
safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Please be advised that certain modifications to your boat can result in cancellation of your warranty
protection. Always 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.We
strongly urge you to read and understand these manuals before operating the engine and accessories.
CONTROL HAZARD! A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all times. DO NOT
operate your boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING!

Ciera 2858 Command Bridge •Owner’s Manual Supplement
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 owner’s
manual this owner's manual supplement, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory instruction sheets/manuals
included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
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. There are two methods of slowing
marine growth:
•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 standards in effect at the time it was
built. Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety
of other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this owner’s manual supplement, please read the owner’s manual and all accessory instruction
sheets for important safety standards and hazard information.
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, only qualified personnel should perform
maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system, propulsion system, engine control
system, fuel system, environmental control system, electrical system or navigational system.
WARNING!
!
NOTICE
•To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,
we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interpro-
tect 2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling
paint.
•Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and 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 while underway is
especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.

Ciera 2858 Command Bridge •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. Factors increasing the effects of CO
include: age, smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke, consumption of alcohol, lung dis-
orders, heart problems, and pregnancy.
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 if CO is detected (see, Carbon Monoxide Alarm System, on the next page).
DANGER
CARBONMONOXIDEPOISONINGHAZARD! Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is color-
less, 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!
!
c. Runningtheboatwith
the trim angle of the
bow too high.
a. Using the engine or the
generator when the boat is
moored in a confined space.
b. Mooring close to
another boat that
is usingits engine,
generator or any
other CO source.
d. Running the boat
without through
ventilation (sta-
tion wagon effect).
