with, for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and
operating experience before assuming command of the boat.
We strongly recommend that you take one of the boating safety classes offered
by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For more
course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact

Engines & Accessories Guidelines
Your boat’s engines and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance
and service. Installing different engines or accessories may cause unwanted han-
dling characteristics. Should you choose to install different engines or add accesso-
ries 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 cancel-
lation of your limited warranty protection. Always check with your dealer
before making any modifications to your boat.
The engines and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation
and maintenance manuals. We strongly urge you to read and understand these man-
uals before operating the engines and accessories.
Safety Standards
Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards 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 supplement, please read the owner’s manual and all
accessory instruction sheets included in your owner’s packet for important
safety standards and hazard information.
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. We recommend that you follow all mainte-
nance instructions provided in the owner’s manual, this supplement, the engine
owner’s manual as well as all accessory instruction sheets and manuals included in
your boat’s owner’s packet.
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.
DANGER!
!

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.
• Paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
Hazard Boxes & Symbols
The hazard boxes and symbols shown below are used throughout this supplement
to call attention to potentially dangerous situations which could lead to either per-
sonal injury, death or product damage. We urge you to read all hazard warn-
ings carefully and follow all safety recommendations.
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, Interprotect 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.
