While durable in its construction, your Intrepid will benefit from reasonable care, maintenance and
adjustments. Repairs may be required from time to time with certain components as with all
mechanical items. This manual has been specially prepared for your particular model to guide
you in keeping it in the best possible condition.
To fully enjoy your Intrepid you should understand it completely and we suggest you read this
manual thoroughly. If any points arise that you do not completely understand, your dealer will be
able to help you.
It is also recommended that you read all the associated instruction manuals for the components
installed on your Intrepid. These manuals are included in your Owner’s Pack.
When your Intrepid requires service, contact your dealer. They are there to assist you in every
way possible.
We wish you many years of safe and pleasurable boating with your new Intrepid.

I, have read the INTREPID Limited Warranty and specifically
item number 5 under “Exclusions from Warranty” and fully understand that if and when there is
any warranty, or service needed for the outboard or inboard motors, I must make arrangements
with my local factory authorized service center, as INTREPID is not an authorized service center
for motors or related parts.
The balance of number 5 will be handled by Intrepid Boats through the warranty extended by that
specific manufacturer.
All Yamaha engines rigged by Intrepid Powerboats use a custom rig tube receiver at the engine
that does not allow the tube to fall out as other rig tube receivers do.
It is most important that when the engines are trimmed all the way up in the out of water position,
that the engines must be turned hard over to port or starboard (preferable port), before trimming
them up so that you will not kink the rigging tube.
On triple engine installations, care must be taken not to turn the engines hard over prior to tilting
as damage to engine cowling may occur.

CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Read your warranty certificate carefully and promptly mail in the warranty registration with all the
requested information.
The warranty is specific as to what is covered by warranty and how to obtain repair.
It is important to realize that there is a difference between warranty work, routine maintenance
and damage caused by misuse or negligence.
If you experience a problem with your Intrepid or any of the factory installed components, contact
the Intrepid factory with a complete description of what is occurring for assistance. We will then
advise you of the quickest and best way to resolve the problem.
The engine(s) are covered separately under warranty by the Engine Manufacturer. Any engine
warranty or service work must be performed by an Engine Manufacturer’s authorized service
center.
Do not operate your Intrepid or any system or component until you have read and understand this
manual or the manuals supplied by equipment suppliers. Supplied equipment manuals are
included in your Owner’s Pack.
The delivering representative or dealer should familiarize you with the operation and handling of
your Intrepid so that you will have a complete understanding of your boat. If you have any
questions regarding your Intrepid or its operation, contact us and we will answer all questions.

CONTROL HELM
The Helm on your Intrepid is the control and monitor center for the engine and electrical, steering,
and navigational systems installed on your boat.
THE CONTROL HELM
(TWIN ENGINE MERCURY OPTIMAX WITH SMARTCRAFT GAUGE PACKAGE SHOWN)
SPEED AND MANEUVERING CONTROLS
Located on the helm are all the controls necessary to control your engine and maneuvering
functions. These controls include:
1. Engine Throttle & Forward/Reverse Controls
2. Ignition/Start Switches
3. Steering System
4. Boat & Engine Trim
1. Engine Throttle / Shift Control (Outboard)
Throttle and Shift controls are installed on the starboard side of the steering helm. They are push-
pull controls and are connected to the engine throttle and shift mechanisms through push-pull
cables.
NOTE
Refer to the Engine Control manufacturer’s manual for proper operation and maintenance of the
Engine Control system. This manual is included in your Owner’s packet.
The Shift Control shifts the engine in the same direction the lever is moved, forward to go forward
and aft to move backwards.
C-1

The Throttle Control controls the engine speed or RPM by pushing the levers forward to increase
speed and pulling the lever back to decrease speed in forward gear.
TWIN ENGINE THROTTLE / SHIFT CONTROLS
NOTE
It is recommended that you check for proper throw of the shift mechanism when you first take
delivery and periodically to ensure full throw into forward and reverse. If the gears are not fully
engaged while running, extensive damage can occur which is not covered under the engine
manufacturer's warranty. If you find your controls are not adjusted correctly, contact your dealer
immediately to have them adjusted.
NOTE
Avoid high RPM operation out of gear in the same manner you would with your personal
automobile.
2. Ignition Switches
The Ignition Switches are provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Refer to the information on the
operation of the Ignition Switch that is located in your Owner’s Pack.
The Ignition Switches provides you with the ability to:
1. Energize the engine electrical system

unclip from the Engine Kill Switch and shutdown the engines.
If extra Ignition Switch keys are required, contact Intrepid Powerboats. Key numbers can be
found in this Owner’s Manual.
3. STEERING SYSTEM
The hydraulic steering system transmits power from the steering wheel to the steering ram
mounted on the engines to control the turning of the engines. The system gives instant steering
response to the engines to control the direction of the boat while under way.
HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM DIAGRAM
NOTE
Refer to the Steering Control manufacturer’s manual for proper operation and maintenance of the
teering system. This manual is included in your Owner’s packet.S
The helm unit under the steering wheel contains the hydraulic fluid that supplies the complete
steering system. Periodic checks of the fluid level should be performed to insure an adequate
Supply is always available to prevent air from entering the system and causing a degradation or
loss of steering.

C-3

The steering system uses hydraulic fluids as outlined in literature for the steering supplied in the
Owner’s packet.
NOTE
The Steering Helm is the hydraulic pump for the system. The direction that the helm is turned
controls check valves in the helm, which in turn determines the direction of flow to the steering
cylinders. When refilling the helm with hydraulic fluid care must be taken to ensure no small
particles of debris enters the system. Debris can affect the operation of the check valves, which
may mean a degradation of or loss of steering capability.
4. BOAT & ENGINE TRIM
TRIM TAB SYSTEM
The Trim Tab System is operated with the switches on the Control Helm. These switches control
the direction and amount the transom mounted trim tabs move.
Power to these switches is supplied from the "TRIM TAB" switch and re-settable circuit breaker
located on the switch panel.
This electric-hydraulically-operated system is used to trim the running attitude of the boat while
under way. If used properly, the trim tabs will aid in trimming the boat in fore and aft and side to
side position, providing a better view for the helmsman and allowing an overall smoother ride and
with increased efficiency.
The operator should be aware that each trim tab does not operate as a unit, but are individually
controlled to allow trimming to correct a listing position while under way.
The double rocker switch located on the helm console actuates the trim tabs. Depressing the top
of the switches lowers the tabs, which causes the bow of the boat to go down while underway.
Depressing the bottom of the switches to the "UP" position allows the bow to rise.
The speed of your boat and conditions of the water will determine the extent of lowering your trim
tabs.
The trim tabs should always be in the "UP" position when dockside and during slow operation
such as docking or slow trolling.
Trim tab position in a following sea must be up. If the trim tabs are down excessively, it can affect
handling characteristics and decrease steering ability and response.

NOTE
When backing down hard such as can occur in fishing, the extreme force on the tabs from the
water can damage the trim tabs or cylinders if they are not in the full "UP" position.
TRIM TAB SYSTEM DIAGRAM - TYPICAL
The pump/reservoir for the trim tabs is located in aft center bilge area, under the aft center cockpit
hatch. Check the fluid level in the reservoir before operating the trim tabs. The hydraulic fluid level
can be seen through the translucent reservoir container mounted on the bottom of the pump.
Hydromatic transmission fluid is used in this system to actuate the cylinders. If addition of fluid is
necessary, remove the screw in the center of the top cover and lift the cover off. The small plug is
removed from the corner of the pump / reservoir and fluid is added using a small funnel to bring
fluid level to correct height.

ENGINE TRIM & TILT
The engines Tilt/Trim system is provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Refer to the information on
the operation of the Tilt/Trim system that is located in your Owner’s Pack.
The Trim Buttons next to Engine Throttle/Transmission Control operates the system. Trimming
the engine DOWN has the affect of lowering the bow.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
1. THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
To avoid the possibility of mechanical damage to your Engine basic instrumentation for each
Engine is provided on your Intrepid. Unless specified at the time an Intrepid was ordered from the
factory, your boat will be fitted with instrumentation provided by the Engine Manufacturer.
The operator of this boat should become accustomed to checking the instrumentation frequently
when running and particularly when first starting the Engine.
Engine instrumentation gives indications as to what is happening to the engines while they are
being operated. It is important that you become familiar with the appropriate reading for each
instrument. This information is provided by the Engine Manufacturer and is located in your
Owner’s Packet.
Power is provided to an engine’s instrumentation by that engine’s electrical system. The engine’s
Ignition Switch must be on for the instruments to operate.
2. BASIC ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
TACHOMETER
This instrument provides a reading of Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of the engine. There is no
set correlation of RPM’s to the speed of the boat. Speeds at various RPM’s should be determined
by using a Speedometer or an electronic device.
VOLTMETER
This instrument monitor’s the amount of charge available in the engine battery. A low voltage
reading when the engine is not running indicates that the battery is not at full charge. A voltage
indication of 13 to 15 volts when the engine is running indicates that the battery is charging.
FUEL GAUGE
The electric fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank in terms of
percentage of tank capacity.
The fuel gauge provides a convenient but approximate indication of remaining fuel. Safe
operation of this boat requires filling the fuel tank after each use and becoming familiar with fuel
usage under various conditions.
NOTE
If your Intrepid is equipped with an auxiliary Fuel Tank but has only one Fuel Gauge, your boat
has been fitted with a Main Tank / Auxiliary Tank Selector switch located on your console.
Selecting MAIN will provide a fuel level reading for the Main Tank and an AUX selection will
provide a fuel level reading on the Auxiliary Tank.
NOTE
The fuel senders mounted into the tanks are located under access plates in the cockpit deck.
These senders control the electric gauge on the helm and incorporate a mechanical indication of
Fuel Level on top of each sender.
TRIM GAUGE
The trim gauge provides an indication of the amount an engine is trimmed up or down. Monitoring
this gauge will provide you with the ability to set the amount of engine trim for optimum
performance.
C-7

Hour Meter (Optional)
This meter registers the amount of time in hours that the engine’s ignition system has been on. It
is activated when the Ignition Switch is turned ON. If the hour meter is to be replaced, note the
hours on the old Hour Meter. This figure must be added to the hours shown on the new Hour
Meter to determine the amount of total hours an engine has run.
3. ENGINE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIED INSTRUMENTATION
Unless specifically requested at the time a boat was ordered Intrepid has installed
instrumentation that is provided by the Engine Manufacturer.
Information on the use of Engine Manufacturer Instrumentation and the range of normal operating
indications is found in the Engine Owners Manual. This manual is located in your Owner’s Pack.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTROL
DC Electrical power is supplied to the Engine electrical system and the boat’s accessories by the
batteries. This power is controlled by Battery Disconnect Switches. The Batteries and Battery
Switches are located @ or under the Helm.
Proper use of the Battery Switches will help lengthen battery life and help provide optimum
charge of the batteries.
If your boat is equipped with optional accessories (Bow Thruster, or Generator, for example)
there will be additional switches on your boat. Specifics on the use of these switches can be
found in the section of this Owner’s Manual that pertains to that accessory.
The battery disconnect switches are located on the side of the helm console.
