CONGRATULATIONS
The Cutwater family has a passion for boating. We are committed to
continuous process improvement in all areas that aect our customer’s
satisfaction with our products and providing great customer service.
SAFETY
Safety is always a concern at Cutwater. Please read all manuals to ensure
that equipment is used in a safe manner. We highly recommend atten-
dance in a Coast Guard approved boating safety course. Such courses
are available from the Coast Guard directly or from boating organiza-
tions. Owners should have annual inspections to ensure that all safety
equipment is current.
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a recreational marine vessel can expose
you to chemicals including engine exhaust,
carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead,
which are known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure,
avoid breathing exhaust, service your vessel
in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
this vessel. For more information go to
www.P65warnings.ca.gov/marine.
