WELCOME ABOARD!!
Welcome to the Rampage Yachts family of
happy boat owners.
We wish to thank you for making our 45'
Sportfishing Yacht your recreational choice
for boating enjoyment. Extensive design and
engineering research went into the develop-
ment of the 45' Sportfishing Yachts;and
we feel that there is a beautiful balance
between structural integrity and creature
comforts.
You should know that your boat was manu-
factured by trained craftsmen in the tradition
of meeting or exceeding existing safety and
quality standards established by the U.S.
Coast Guard and the Boating Industry of
America.
Rampage Yachts takes pride in our crafts-
manship and hull performance. We are con-
fident you will enjoy the ride. For you, the
Rampage Yachts name is your assurance
that your boat will hold its value while provid-
ing many years of boating pleasure. We
have made a commitment to this industry
and are glad to have you as a partner.
Congratulations on your choice – let us
know if we can be of further service.
SKIPPER’S KIT
The Skipper’s Kit contains the 45' Sportfish
owner’s manual. Along with the owner’s
manual, there is an envelope which includes
information about onboard systems and
components furnished by suppliers other
than Rampage Yachts.
Owner’s Manual,

ual. It contains information concerning the
operation and care of your boat. The
descriptions contained within the manual will
introduce you to the features of the boat,
and provide you with a general knowledge of
how the equipment works. The manual is
divided into ten sections, and each section
is introduced by a table of contents to help
you quickly find needed information.
Become familiar with the material in each
section before operating your boat.
Throughout the manual you will come
across safety precautions labeled
WARNING or CAUTION.
WARNINGS indicate hazards or unsafe
practices which could result in personal
injury or death. CAUTIONS indicate situa-
tions which could result in damage to the
boat and its various systems.

DASH LAYOUT
Key to Dash Layout
1 — FUEL GAUGE
IMPORTANT
Do not rely on the accuracy of
gauges. Readings are only approxi-
mate, and should always be com-
pared to the hours of use multiplied
by the known fuel consumption
(GPH).
Item 1is the fuel tank gauge. The gauge
indicates the approximate amount of fuel in
the tank.
2 and 4 — DIGITAL DRIVETRAIN
DISPLAYS
Item 2is the port engine display, and item
4is the starboard engine display. These

The fuel tank sender switch monitors fuel
levels in both fwd and aft tanks. This allows
you to check the fuel level in both tanks from
the helm. Move the switch to the side
marked “FWD TANK” and the fuel level on
the fwd tank will be displayed on the fuel
gauge above. Move the switch to the side
marked “AFT TANK” and the fuel level of the
aft tank will be displayed on the fuel gauge
above.
5 — HIGH WATER ALARM SPEAKER
The alarms will sounds under the following
conditions:
* Engine temperature exceeds specified
limits.
* Engine oil pressure drops below specified
limits.
* Transmission oil temperature exceeds
specified limits.
* Ignition switches are “ON,” engines are
“OFF.”
To test the alarm system, turn the ignition
switch to the “ON” position. Depending upon
the engine, the alarm may sound immedi-
ately, or after a few seconds’ delay.
6 — COMPASS
The compass has not been compensated.
The compensating should be performed by

for the diesel engine, starboard side. The
diesel switch is a three position, but with no
stop feature. Its positions are: off, run and
start. There is no accessory position.
NOTE
Diesel engines can run without elec-
trical power. These switches do not
stop engine rotation. Engine rotation
is stopped with the engine stop
switches (see items 22 and 23).

trical power to engines. CAT 3406E
engines will stop when the keys are
in the off position.
26 — TRIM TAB SWITCHES AND
BREAKER
IMPORTANT
