CRUISE CRAFT BOATS YG031Q User manual

Craftsmanship Since 1946
OWNER’S MANUAL

General Introduction
This manual has been compiled to help you operate your boat with safety. It contains details of the boat
equipment that is supplied or fitted its systems and information on its operation. Please read it carefully and
familiarise yourself with the boat before using it.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design category of your boat and
that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in these conditions.
This owner’s manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first boat or if you are
changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety please ensure that you
obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of the boat. Your local Cruise Craft
dealer will be pleased to advise you of competent instructors or local marine safety schools.
This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble shooting guide. In case of difficulty, please
contact your local Cruise Craft dealer.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, fixing or modifications. Modifications that may
affect the safety characteristics of the boat shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent
people. The Cruise Craft factory cannot be held responsible for modifications they have not approved.
NOTE: Any change in the disposition of the masses aboard (for example the addition of a fishing tower,
radar, change of engine etc) may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of your boat.
Users of this boat are advised that:
- All crew should receive suitable training.
- The boat should not carry more than the manufacturer’s recommended load.
- Bilge water should be kept to a minimum.
- Stability is reduced by any weight added high up.
- In rough weather, hatches, lockers and doorways should be closed to minimise the risk of flooding.
- Stability may be reduced when towing or lifting heavy weights using a davit or boom.
- Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard.
Always maintain your boat properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur in time and as a
result of heavy use or misuse of the boat.
Any boat no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly. This is not
compatible with safe boating. Always adjust the speed and direction of your boat to suit the sea conditions.
The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety equipment (EPIRB, lifejackets, fire extinguisher etc)
and emergency maneuvering (man overboard recovery, towing etc). Sailing schools and boat clubs regularly
organise drill sessions.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU
SELL YOUR BOAT.
