WELCOME ABOARD!!
Welcome to the Cruisers Yachts family of happy yacht owners.
We wish to thank you for making our 460 Express Series your
recreational choice for boating enjoyment. Extensive design and
engineering research went into the development of all Cruisers
Yachts. We feel there is a beautiful balance between structural
integrity and creature comforts.
Your yacht was manufactured by trained craftsmen in the tradition of
meeting or exceeding existing safety and quality standards
established by the United States Coast Guard and the Boating
Industry of America.
Cruisers Yachts has been manufacturing boats forover 50 years. We
take pride in our craftsmanship and hull performance. We are
confident you will enjoy the ride. For you, the Cruisers Yachts name
is your assurance that your yacht will hold its value while providing
many years of boating pleasure. We have made a commitment to this
industry and are glad to have you as a partner.
Congratulations on your choice – let us know if we can be of further
service.
SKIPPER’S KIT
The Skipper’s Kit contains the 460 Express Series owner’s manual.
Also included is information about onboard systems and components
furnished by suppliers other than Cruisers Yachts.
Owner’s Manual
The owner’s manual contains specific information concerning the
operation of the 460 Express Series. The descriptions contained
within this manual will introduce you to features of the 460 Express
Series, and provide you with a general knowledge of how the
equipment works. This manual is divided into several sections, and
each section is introduced by a table of contents to help you quickly
find needed information.
The Getting Started owner’s manual contains additional general
information concerning operation and the necessary information for
boating safely and care of your yacht. The Getting Started manual is
also divided in the same manner as the owner’s manual, to help you
quickly find needed information. Become familiar with the material in
each section of both manuals. Always keep both manuals together
and with your yacht for future use, and for anyone who may operate
your yacht. The following are the topics found in the Getting Started
manual:
