Important Safety Information!
Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around
you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your
boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make sure that
you understand all the controls and operating instructions
before attempting to operate the boat. Improper operation
isextremelydangerous.
The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the
manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual are
noted by the following symbols:
Thissymbolindicates apotentiallyhazardouscircumstance,
which,ifnotavoided, may resultinminorormoderate injury.
It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Thissymbolindicatesapotentiallyhazardoussituation,which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This is limited to the most extreme situations.
The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat
are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or
part is not specifically recommended by Skier’s
Choice, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for
you and others, and that the boat will not be damaged
or made unsafe as a result of your decision.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!
In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety
recommendations may result in severe personal injury or
death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense
whenoperatingyourboat. Don’ttakeunnecessarychances!
Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this
information and conform to boat safety principles.
Section II
Boating Safety
Safe Boating
Safeboatingpracticesmayseemobvious,butpeople have
thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with
boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your
passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed or
have seen a particular activity promoted, do not assume
there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or your
passengers go out in the boat and engage in any water
sport activity, give careful consideration to the risks. Plan
ahead. Think twice before you try something new behind
your boat or with your boat. Know the limits of you, your
passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.
In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be
aware as well that there are many sources of information
available. Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional
training, such as safety and seamanship courses offered
by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power
Squadron.
Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet
every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that
many people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take
safetyforgranted.Think twice. We want allourboatowners
and their passengers, friends, and families to have a safe
and enjoyable experience on the water.

Basic Boating Rules
You should be aware of these rules and follow them
whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.
Therulespresented in thismanualarecondensed and have
been provided as a convenience only. Consult your local
U.S.Coast GuardAuxiliary(USCGA)orDepartmentofMotor
Vehicles (DMV) for a complete set of rules governing the
waters in which you will be using your boat. If you plan to
travel—even for a short trip—you would be well served to
contact the regional USCGAor DMV in the area where you
will be boating.
Review and understand all local and state laws.
Any time two vessels on the water meet one another, one
vesselhastheright-of-way. It is called the stand-onvessel.
The vessel which does NOT have the right-of-way is called
the give-way or burdened vessel.
These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way,
and accordingly, what each vessel should do.
Thevesselwiththeright-of-wayhas the duty to continue its
course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision.
Whenyoumaintainyourdirectionandspeed,theothervessel
will be able to determine how best to avoid you.
The vessel which does not have the right-of-way has the
duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way
ofthestand-onvessel. Normally,thegive-wayvesselshould
not cross in front of the stand-on vessel. Slow down or
change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel.
You should always move in such a way that the stand-on
operator can see what you are doing.
Thisruleis called Rule2inthe International Rulesandsays,
“In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be
had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any
special circumstances, which may render a departure from
the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate
danger.”
Encountering Other Vessels
Therearethreemain situations inwhichyoumayencounter
other vessels and you must observe the Steering Rules in
order to avoid a collision. These are:
-Meeting (youareapproachinganothervesselhead-on)
-Crossing(youaretravelingacrossthe othervessel’spath)
-Overtaking (you are passingor being passed by another
vessel)
Using the following illustration in which you are the boat in
thecenter,youshouldgive right-of-way toallvesselsshown
in the white area. In this instance, you are the give-way
vessel. All vessels in the shaded area must yield to you as
youarethestand-onvessel. Bothyouandthemeetingvessel
must alter course to avoid each other.
If you are meeting another power vessel head-on, and you
are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you
hastheright-of-way. Bothof youshouldalter coursetoavoid
an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port
(left) side. This rule doesn’t apply if both of you can clear
each other by continuing your set course and speed.
Section III
Boating Rules

12 ©2005Skier’sChoice,Inc.
When two power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s
path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel
that views the crossing vessel to the starboard (right) side
mustgive-way.
If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, maintain your
courseand direction, provided the other vessel gives you
the right-of-way as it should.
If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way
vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to
maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its
way as you clear it, altering course and speed as
necessary.
Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel,
you should maintain your speed and direction so that the
other vessel can steer itself around you.
There are three other rules to always remember when
drivingyourboataroundothervessels.
When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to
the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the
operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go
around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water
vessels,theoperator should sound a prolonged blast on
the whistle or horn—four to six seconds.
If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound
the whistle or horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the
vesselshouldstillproceedaroundthebendwithcaution.
If you navigate these type of waters, you should carry a
portable air horn, which are available from local marine
supplystores.
All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are
consideredunderInternationalRulestobe fishing vessels.
Boatswithtrolling lines are not considered fishing vessels.
Fishingvesselshavetheright-of-way, regardless of
position. These vessels, however, cannot impede the
passageofothervesselsin narrow channels.
Sailingvesselsshouldnormallybegiventhe right-of-way.
The exceptions to this are:
- Whenthesailingvesselisovertakingthe power-driven
vessel,thepower-drivenvesselhastheright-of-way.
- Sailingvesselsshouldkeepclearofanyfishingvessel.
- In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper
the safe passage of a power-driven vessel which can
navigateonlyinsuchachannel.
The waters of the United States are marked for safe
navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. The markers
and buoys you will encounter have an arrangement of
shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of
the buoy a boater should pass when navigating in a
particulardirection.
The markings on these buoys are oriented from the
perspective of being entered from seaward while the
boater is going towards the port. This means that red
buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when
proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys
are to port (left) side. When navigating out of port, your
position to the buoys should be reversed: red buoys to port
and black buoys to starboard.
Many boating bodies of water are entirely within the
boundaries of a single state. The Uniform State Waterway
Marking Systems has been devised for these waters. This
systemusesbuoysandsignswithdistinctiveshapesand
colors to show regulatory or advisory information.
These markers are white with black letters and orange
borders. The information signifies speed zones, restricted
areas, danger areas and general information.
Remember: Markings may vary by geographic location.
Alwaysconsultlocalboatingauthoritiesbeforedrivingyour
boat in unfamiliar waters.
(See examples of buoys and markers next page.)

BREAK IN
Taking care to properly breakinyournewenginewill pay off
inthelongrun. Inouryearsoffieldtesting, we have proven
that an Indmar engine, when properly broken in according
tooursimpleprocedures,willlast longer,run betterandhave
fewer repairs over its lifetime.
Your new engine does not require an elaborate break-in
procedure. Just follow these simple instructions and you
are off to a great start.
The three (3) most important aspects of new engine break-
in are:
1.Avoidrunning engine at high speeds.
2.Do not carry a heavy load (passengers, gear, etc.).
3.Vary your boat speed during break-in, do not run at the
same RPM for a long period of time.
BREAK-IN STEPS
- For the first hour, do not exceed 2,000 RPM.
- For the second hour, do not exceed 3,000 RPM.
- For the next five hours, do not exceed 4,000 RPM.

Your Moomba boat cover is made from the finest canvas
and webbing to ensure that your boat will be protected in
the off season. The cover has been designed to fit securely
around each boat. If your new cover does not seem to be
snug, a shrinkage allowance has been sized in.
Use the following procedure when covering the boat:
1.Be sure that the cover fits snugly at the bow then unfold
from front to back.
2.Be suretoinstallcoverpole(s) and adjusttoproper height,
using set screw on pole(s). This will keep water from
gathering in the center, which can damage the cover.
3.Secure all fastening straps around the trailer frame.
4.Pull the draw cord equally from both sides and tie off to
the lifting eyes on the stern in accordance with the
illustration.
