M
ainship Corporation was formed in 1977 and soon out
g
rew the existin
g
facilities. A new plant was built in Marlboro,
N
J and was home to Mainship until 1992 when it was moved to St. Au
g
ustine, FL.
O
ver 1200 of the traditionall
y
s
t
y
led cruisers were built be
f
ore Mainship be
g
an buildin
g
a European inspired line o
f
cruisers in 1988. The new boat
line did well for several
y
ears, but Mainship's real destin
y
was to return to the trawlers that made them famous. In
1994, the first new Trawler, a 35" sedan was introduced and the market acce
p
ted the new breed with enthusiasm
.
Toda
y
, Mainship Corporation is the leadin
g
manufacturer of production trawlers buildin

6 different models with

in seas with significant wave heights up to 4 m
and winds of Beaufort Force 8 or less
Design Category C (“inshore”)
Category of boats considered suitable to operate
in seas with significant wave heights up to 2 m
and a typical steady wind force of Beaufort Force
6 or less.
Design Category D (“sheltered waters”)
Category of boats considered suitable to operate
in waters with significant wave heights up to and
including 0,30 m with occasional waves of 0,5 m

As a boat manu
f
acturer Mainship builds their products to
g
uidelines established under the Federal Boat Safet
y
Act
of 1971. The act is promul
g
ated b
y
the U.S. Coast Guard
who has authorit
y
to en
f
orce these laws on boat manu-
facturers that sell products in the United States. Mainship
e
nsures that all of it's products compl
y
with these laws.
The NMMA, National Marine Manufacturers Association,
provides Mainship with a third part
y
certification. The
N
MMA is an or
g
anization that represents the marine
industr
y
and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, mari-
nas, repair
y
ards and component suppliers in areas o

y
certification that Mainship partici-
pates in, uses well known

2.2
Mainship 40 Trawler Single & Twin • Documents, and Forms
Your Mainship dealer completes the Pre-Delivery
Inspection Report (See Warranty Section) before you
take delivery of your boat. It is the dealer’s responsi-
bility to both you and to Mainship to give your boat a
final inspection. The purpose of this inspection is to
assure proper adjustment and operation of the entire
vessel. "Your dealer should provide you with the Pre-
Delivery Inspection Report at the time of delivery."
"Mainship will not pay warranty costs for items
that should have been covered in the pre-delivery
service inspection and recorded on the Pre-Delivery
Inspection Report."
Owners must coordinate with the dealer to insure
Mainship warranty registration is completed and returned
to Mainship.
2.1. Records
Inserted at the end of this section are several records
you will find helpful.
Use the BOAT RECORD (Fig. 2.2) to record all impor-
tant
information about your boat and its equipment. After
your dealer has recorded all the information, remove the
record from your Owner’s Manual and store in a safe
place. Do not keep this form aboard your boat.
The FLOAT PLAN (Fig. 2.4) provides a record of your
destination, departure and return times, boat descrip-
tion, passenger list, and other information about the trip
you have planned. At the bottom of the form is space for
listing emergency phone numbers in case your return
is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for
indicating information about the person filling the report.
Leave the completed form ashore with a responsible
person. We recommend you make several copies of this
form each boating season to make sure you have a good
supply.
The MAINTENANCE LOG (Fig 2.5) helps to keep main-
tenance records in one place. Using this log will allow
you to track maintenance work that has been completed
and to determine when maintenance is required. Your
dealer will also find this information helpful. If you decide
to sell your boat, the maintenance record will make your
boat seeable because it tells prospective buyers that you
have taken good care of your boat.
2.2 Accident Reports
No one likes to think about having a boating accident, but
boating accidents do happen. You must file an accident
report after a boating accident just as you must file an
accident report after an automobile accident. A copy of
the U.S. Coast Guard Accident Report is included at the
end of this section. You can get more copies of the report
by calling the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline
at 1-800-368-5674.
You must file this report with the U.S. Coast Guard within
48 hours after an accident resulting in one of the follow-
ing:
A person disappears from a vessel under circum-
stances that indicate death or injury
Personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond
first aid
Damage to the vessel or property damage
Complete loss of the vessel
State statutes determine whether you must file an acci-
dent report in this case. An accident report must be filed
if the damage exceeds a threshold dollar value as estab-
lished by the states, the threshold is $100-$200. Call
the Boating Safety Hotline [phone]) to verify the
threshold for a particular state.
For all other accidents, you must file the report within
10 days.
Note: State and local agencies may also have accident
reporting requirements. Check with local enforcement
agencies or with your local Mainship dealer regarding
local requirements.

2.3 Specifications and Drawings
All Mainship boats are built in compliance with appli-
cable United States Coast Guard regulations and rec-
ommendations at the time of construction. Mainship
boats comply with the standards developed by the
National Marine Manufactures Association for its Boat
Certification Program.
The locator drawings will help you find the location of
devices and equipment.
Note: Efforts have been made to make the drawings in
this manual consistent with production. However, in the
effort to improve this vessel, modifications have been
made in the design that may date some of the drawings
in this manual.
On the next few pages you will find sample forms
for some of the issues dealing with your new boat.
Familiarize yourself with these forms, use them, they
can be very handy.
