OWNER’S MANUAL
FISHING BOATS
3901 St. Lucie Blvd.
Ft. Pierce, Florida 34946
© 2012 S2 Yachts, Inc.

Your Owner’s Manual was written to include
safety instructions to ensure safe operation
and maintenance of your boat. Safety alerts
symbols are used to alert potential personal
injury hazards.
All instructions are viewed from the stern look-
ing toward the bow, with starboard (to your
right) and port (to your left). A glossary of boat-
ing terms is included.
Your boat produces carbon monoxide (CO)
and uses flammable fuel. CO will cause
BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH. Carbon monox-
ide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless and
extremely dangerous.
Every precaution has been taken by Pursuit
Fishing Boats to reduce the risks associated
with death, possible injury and damage from
fire or explosion. Your own precaution and
good maintenance procedures are necessary
in order to enjoy safe operation of your boat.
!DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or seri-
ous injury.
!WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
!CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
!NOTICE
Indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
!DANGER
Exposure to carbon monoxide will
cause death or serious injury. Avoid
direct and prolonged exposure to CO.
Gasoline and other fuels are extremely
flammable and highly explosive under
certain conditions.
• DO NOT smoke or allow open flame
or sparks nearby when fueling.
• DO NOT block fuel vents.
• DO NOT store fuel in any containers
or compartments which are not des-
ignated for storing fuel.
