IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your 3400 Express Fisherman Owners Manual
has been written to include a number of safety instructions to
assure the safe operation and maintenance of your boat. These
instructions are in the form of WARNING and CAUTION
statements. The following definitions apply:
HAZARDS OR UNSAFE PRACTICES WHICH COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in
minor personal injury, or product and property
damage.
All instructions given in this book are as seen from the stern

Appendix.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your boat uses internal combustion
engines and flammable fuel. Every precaution has been taken
by Fishing Boats to reduce the risks associated with
possible injury and damage from fire or explosion, but your own
precaution and good maintenance procedures are necessary in
order to enjoy safe operation of your boat.
If for any reason you have trouble with your Owners Manual,
or require replacement pages, please contact our Customer
Service department at the address on the cover page. We will
be happy to supply replacement pages at no charge.

iarize yourself with the craft before using it.
If this is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft
you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety,
please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience
before assuming command of the craft. Your dealer or national
sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of
local sea schools, or competent instructors.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND
