CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THIS MANUAL 3
Trophy Center Console • 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!

Trophy Center Console • 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.
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 engineor 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).

CHAPTER 1: ABOUT THIS MANUAL 5
Trophy Center Console • 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.

regulations that minimize risks of fire and explosion.
• Ensure all of the battery switches are in the OFF position before performing
any work in the engine spaces.
• DO NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualifiedpersonnel shouldinstall batteries and/or perform maintenance
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 sys-
tem maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to open
flame or sparks. NEVER allow smoking anywhere near the batteries.
WARNING!
!
NOTICE
Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused elec-
trical problems, keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on pro-
tectant that is designed to protect connections from corrosion.

CHAPTER 2: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS 7

12-Volt DC System- Fuses, Circuit Breakers and Switches
The engine is protected by a large circuit breaker on the engine. The accessories on
some models are protected by a master circuit breaker usually located near the bat-
tery. A fuse block for branch accessory circuits is located near the helm panel.
Wires are color-coded to indicate which accessory each fuse services. Some items,
such as radios and bilge pumps, may be fused individually at the unit. Autofloat
switches are fused at the battery.
Some models are equipped
with a battery switch. Your
Sport Boat Owner’s Manual
provides a general descrip-
tion of battery switch func-
tion in the Batteries portion
of the Electrical Section.

Controls
Read and understand the Controls section of both the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual
and engine manual, provided in the owner’s packet, for instructions and
warranty information.
Trim Tabs
The trim tabs may be used to
help keep your boat level at
cruising speeds.
The trim tabs are controlled by
two rocker switches at each
helm station.
Before using the trim tab rocker
switches, read and understand
the trim tab operation manual
included in your yacht’s
owner’s packet.
When cruising speed is reached:
•The port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the boat.
•Perform trim tab adjustment with several short touches to the switch rather than
one long one.
•After each short touch allow several seconds for the hull to react.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control!
•Do not allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to use them.
•Do not use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause broaching or other
unsafe handling characteristics.
•Do not use trim tabs to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.

Navigation and Interior Lights
Read the navigation light section of the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual. The naviga-
tion and interior lights supplied with your boat are of top quality, but you should
be aware that failure may periodically occur for a variety of reasons:
•There may be a blown fuse - replace the fuse in the switch panel.
•The bulb may be burned out - carry spare bulbs for replacement.
•A wire may be damaged or may have come loose - repair as required.
•The bulb base may be corroded - clean the base and coat it with non-conductive
electrical lubricant.
Compass
Your boat may come equipped with a compass. Carefully read and follow the man-
ufacturer’s calibration and operating instructions provided in the owner’s packet.
• Conserve battery power. Prolonged operation of cabin interior lights (over-
night) will result in a drained battery.
• Avoid the storage of gear where it would block navigation lights from view.
CAUTION!
!

Trophy Center Console • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Depth Finder
Your boat may come equipped with a depth finder. It will provide you with mea-
surements of water depth beneath the boat and in many cases it may help you locate
schools of fish. The depth finder comes with its own manual. We suggest that you
read it carefully before using the unit.
Anchoring
Read and understand the Anchoring section of the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual.
DO NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision,
grounding, boat damage or personal injury. When the boat is moving, sub-
merged objects will not be seen until they are already under the boat. Bot-
tom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat operator to
react. If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, run the boat at
very slow speeds.
WARNING!
!
FLOODING AND SWAMPING HAZARD - Never anchor by the stern alone--
there is less freeboard and flooding or swamping is more likely to occur. When
using only one anchor, secure the anchor line to the bow cleat or bow eye.
WARNING!
!

CHAPTER 2: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS 11
Trophy Center Console • Owner’s Manual Supplement
Fuel System
Fuel Fills and Vents
Fuel fills are located either on the aft deck or on the side decks adjacent to the aft
cockpit. Fuel receptacle caps are marked “GAS”. Fuel vents are normally located in
the hull or transom below and in the same general area as the fill. If you have
trouble filling the fuel tank, check to see that the fuel fill and vent lines are free of
obstructions and kinks.
Fuel Filters
Fuel filters should be replaced periodically to ensure that they remain clean and free
of debris. A fine mesh screen filter is located on the fuel pickup tube. An additional
filter, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, is installed on the engine.
Consult your selling dealer or local marina concerning fuel additives that help to
prevent fungus or buildup in your fuel tanks.

Bilge Pump
Your boat has one impeller-type bilge
pump. The bilge pump is automati-
cally controlled by a float switch (see
"Autofloat Switch" on the next page).
The bilge pump can also be con-
trolled by a switch on the dash.
Check the bilge pump often to make
sure it is working properly. To check
the bilge pump:
•Turn on the dash-mounted switch
and make sure that water in the
bilge is pumped overboard.
If bilge water is present and the pump
motor is running but not pumping:
•Inspect the bilge pump hose for a
kink or collapsed area.
If the bilge pump hose is not the prob-
lem, check the bilge pump housing
for clogging debris:
Bilge Pump Cleaning:
To remove the power cartridge:
1. Lift the tab while rotating the
fins counterclockwise.
2. Lift out the power cartridge.
3. Clear the outer housing of
debris.
To reinstall the power cartridge:
1. Make sure the “O” ring is prop-
erly seated.
2. Coat the “O” ring with a light
film of vegetable or mineral oil.
3. Align the two cams on either
side of the power cartridge with
the two slots on the outer hous-
ing and press the power car-
tridge into the housing while
twisting clockwise.
4. To ensure proper reinstallation
