INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Tigé, the world’s most unique
multisport inboard! We’re confident you will enjoy Tigé’s extraordinary
blend of world-class water sports performance, incredible versatility and
outstanding user convenience.
Before using your new Tigé, we encourage you to thoroughly review this
owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with your boat’s operational and
safety features.
We have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of this manual, providing
the most current information available. Since we are continuously refining
features and design, Tigé periodically makes changes to models, systems
and specifications. These changes are included in an updated online version
of this owner’s manual available at www.tige.com.
If you have any questions concerning your new Tigé or this manual, please
contact your Tigé dealer. Once again, thanks for choosing Tigé. Have a great time!
PLAY IT SAFE AND ENJOY!
Safety is a top priority in the design and construction of every Tigé boat.
Before use, we strongly encourage owners and operators to become familiar
with Tigé safety features, safe operation, maintenance procedures and
overall safe boating practices. In addition to ensuring your safety and that
of your passengers, proper maintenance and operation of your Tigé greatly
enhance your enjoyment on the water.
TIGÉ TIPS FOR A SAFE, FUN DAY ON THE WATER
A day on the water may be relaxing for you, but cruising through chop,
towing skiers and other normal boating activity puts significant stress on
a boat. Although your Tigé is built tough to withstand the rigors of on-
water activities, you should check and tighten pylons, towers, accessories
and other attachments every time you go out to avoid injury and ensure
safe reliable performance. It is also very important to regularly check and
maintain the various systems and equipment on your boat before you get
underway.
To help you keep everything in good working order, refer to the Preflight
Checklist in Section 4 each time you go boating. Make it a habit and you’ll
make the most out of your time on the water.
OWNER’S KIT
The Owner’s Kit contains the owner’s manual and may include other
information about accessories or components offered with your Tigé boat.
This information is provided by the manufacturers of those products and
should be read, kept and referred to whenever you are using the accessory
or component, or before you put it into use. Refer to these manufacturers’
manuals for additional operation and maintenance instructions not covered
in this manual.
Owner’s Manual
The owner’s manual contains information concerning the operation and care of
your boat. The descriptions contained within the manual will introduce you to
features of Tigé and provide you the general knowledge of how the boat works.
Become familiar with the information in each section before you use your boat.
Even if everything has been planned and designed for the safety of the boat
and its users, boating is still highly dependent on the weather conditions,
water conditions, and the experience of you and your passengers. One
can never ensure full safety. It is your responsibility as the owner or user
to know the boat’s equipment, capabilities and intended use. The specific
information on the operation of the equipment and systems on your boat
should be supplied by that manufacturer. Read, understand and keep all
the information supplied, and familiarize yourself and all users with the boat
before you put it into use.

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |5
INTENDED USE
Your Tigé boat is intended for use as a pleasure and sport craft and a Craft
Design Category of:
Inshore—Category C
Craft designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the
associated wave heights and significant wave heights up to 6’6.7” (2 m).
Such conditions may be encountered in exposed inland waters, in estuaries,
and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
OWNER RESPONSIBILITY FOR WARRANTY PROCEDURE
Before Operating
Before operating your new Tigé boat, it is necessary that you read and
understand this manual and the warranty, and that you take the time to read
about other accessories or components offered with your Tigé boat.
Warranty Service Requirements
All Tigé warranty service must be completed by an Tigé Dealer. If you are
not able to return your boat to your dealership, contact them so they can
assist you in coordinating the warranty service. Any claims against Tigé
Boats without prior approval from Tigé Boats on repairs completed by an
unauthorized dealership may be denied.
If You Sell Your Tigé Boat
Warranties are transferable. If you choose to sell your Tigé boat to anyone
other than a Tigé Dealer, contact Tigé Boats for the appropriate warranty
transfer information: www.tige.com or 325.676.7777. If the transfer
procedures are not followed, future warranty service may be denied.
CERTIFICATIONS
National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)
Tigé Boats is a member of the NMMA. This independent organization’s
members include boat, engine and marine equipment manufacturers that
are focused on the improvement and safety of boating.
Your new Tigé boat is NMMA certified. An NMMA certification not only
satisfies the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) regulations but also the more
rigorous equipment and system standards based on those established by
the American Boat and Yacht Council, Inc. (ABYC). Your Tigé boat meets or
exceeds NMMA safety-based certifications.
Engines
Our engine manufacturer works closely with Tigé to ensure that its engines
deliver maximum performance, reliability and customer satisfaction. Part
of this commitment is a certification program that provides Tigé dealers
and service technicians with ongoing training and information about our
engines. Certified engine service personnel must attend periodic service
schools held at the Tigé headquarters. The training includes review of all
manufacturing and installation processes, proper servicing procedures as
well as existing and developing engine technologies.
FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY
Convex V Hull/TAPS2
The unique, patented shape of the Tigé Convex V hull combined with
TAPS2technology are key Tigé’s superior multi-sport versatility, incredible
performance and unmatched ride. All other inboard hulls curve down
with a “hook” toward the transom and must rely on heavy ballast or drag
hardware to produce even entry-level wakeboarding wakes. The Convex V

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |6
hull curves up in a rocker shape like a wakeboard or slalom ski. Tigé uses
its breakthrough TAPS2technology to control hull running attitude and wake
characteristics. At wakeboarding speed with TAPS2in the up position, the
bow rises and the Convex V hull settles naturally, creating tremendous water
displacement and huge world-class wakes without ballast or drag hardware.
A push of a button adjusts TAPS2down, lowers the bow and creates instant
planning and slalom type wakes.
Ride, handling and fuel efficiency are also dramatically enhanced, allowing Tigé
to deliver outstanding overall performance unmatched by any other inboard.
ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
Standard on all Tigé models, ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control is the most
advanced precision digital speed control in the marine industry. It is also the
easiest to use. The ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control control panel incorporates
Touchpad and Touch Screen Recognition for easy fingertip use without
taking your eyes off the waterway. ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control readouts are
displayed on the heads-up digital monitor located on the dash, as well as
our Touch Screen. For added safety, the ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control control
panel is conveniently located adjacent to the throttle for quick, easy access
with your throttle hand. ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control operation is precise,
multi-functional and simple. You can even preset a preferred speed and
precisely hit that speed set after set. Perfect double-ups and consistent
towing speeds are now at your fingertips.
Advanced CAN bus Technology
TEC (Tigé Electronic Control) components are in constant communication
with the engine’s computerized ECM using advanced MEFI-5 electronics.
State-of-the-art CAN bus technology allows components to communicate
hundreds of times a second over a simple, reliable, two-wire system.
Keeping the juice flowing and the electronics humming is our Central
Electronic Distribution Center (CEDC), which increases electrical system
reliability and efficiency through circuit simplification and load management.
CEDC also stabilizes electrical output throughout the boat, significantly
reducing power spikes.
Product Improvement
Because of Tigé’s commitment to continuous product improvement, the
illustrations used in this manual may not exactly match your boat and are
intended only as representation for reference views. Some illustrations may
also show optional accessories, which may or may not be available for your
boat. Some optional accessories can only be installed at the time the boat
is manufactured and cannot be installed by your dealer. Your dealer can help
with any questions you may have on options, which can be added to your boat.

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |7
SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS
Your Tigé boat, its engine, propulsion unit and other equipment onboard are
identified with a serial number. These identification numbers associated
with your boat are extremely important. Prepare a list of all serial number
items and store it in a safe place other than onboard the boat. Refer to the
equipment operator’s manuals supplied in your owner’s kit for location of
serial numbers.
Record these numbers below.

OWNER/OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
At the time of delivery, the owner/operator is responsible for:
• Understanding warranty terms and conditions of both the engine and boat.
• Obtaining insurance.
• Examining boat to ensure proper operation of all systems.
Before operating the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:
• Obtaining state registration of the boat.
• Providing the proper USCG-required safety equipment.
• Following proper break-in procedure for the engine.
• Understanding safety information and proper operating procedures
within this manual.
While operating the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:

boat in an emergency.
• Following safe operating practices and the “Rules of the Road.”
• Understanding proper maintenance and knowledge of the boat’s
operating systems.
• Providing safety training for the passengers.
• Avoiding use of alcohol and other drugs.
• Providing assistance to other boaters.
Insurance
You must get insurance before operating your new boat. Insurance for loss by
fire, theft or other causes, or liability protection against accidents is a must
for responsible boaters. The boat owner is legally responsible for any damage
or injury caused when he, or someone else operating the boat, is involved in
an accident. Many states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs. Your
insurance agent or dealer may be able to supply you with more information.

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |8
Registration/Documentation
The USCG requires that all power boats operated on the navigable waters
of the U.S. be registered in the state of main use; also, many states require
registration in that state whenever boating on waters within their state
boundary. Contact your state boating authorities (and neighboring states) for
registration information on boats and trailers.
Your dealer can supply you with the appropriate forms.
QUALIFIED BOAT OPERATORS
This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of
boat operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this boat seek
additional training on boat handling and safety. Have all operators become
familiar with the handling characteristics and proper steering and control
system usage before attempting high-speed operation.
Some states require youths 16 years of age and younger to complete a
boating safety course before operating any watercraft. Many others require
operators under the age of 18 to be licensed in small boat operation.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Be boat smart from the start, take a boating safety course and get a free
vessel safety check annually for your boat. For more information, contact:
• United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, www.cgaux.org;
• United States Power Squadrons, 888-FOR-USPS, www.usps.org.
Most boaters can enhance their enjoyment of boating experiences
through increased knowledge of safe operation, navigation and regulation
of pleasure boats. The following is a list of some other agencies and
organizations that offer Water Safety, First Aid and CPR courses or
information. To find boating safety courses in your area, call your state’s
local boating agency or the USCG boating safety course line at 800-336-
2628 (800-245-2628 in Virginia).
• American Red Cross
• State Boating Offices
• Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons
• Boat Owners Association of the United States
• National Safe Boating Council
• American Water Ski Association (AWSA)
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is the authority of the waterways; they are
there to help the boating public. State local authorities enforce boating
regulations. You are subject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the Road”
for both federal and state waterways. You must stop if signaled to do so by
enforcement officers, and permit to be boarded as asked.
REPORTING ACCIDENTS
The USCG requires the owner or operator of a boat involved in an accident
to report the incident to the proper marine law enforcement agency for the
state in which the accident occurred.
Immediate notification to the nearest State boating authority is required if
a person dies or disappears as a result of a recreational boating accident.
If a person dies or sustains injuries requiring more than first aid, a formal
report must be filed within 48 hours of the accident. A formal report must
be filed within 10 days for accidents exceeding $500 in property damage or
complete loss of boat.

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |9
RENDERING ASSISTANCE
If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must
assume it is a real emergency and render assistance immediately. By law,
the operator in charge of the craft is obligated to provide assistance to any
individual in danger if such assistance can be provided safely. Failure to
render assistance can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.
The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to a “Good Samaritan”
boater providing good faith assistance, and absolves a boater from any civil
liability arising from such assistance.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
As a boater, you already have an appreciation for nature’s beauty and the
peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the
natural environment by keeping waterways clean.
Foreign Species
If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly introduce a
foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next. Thoroughly clean the boat
and trailer below the water line, remove all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge
and ballast tanks, if equipped, before launching the boat in a new body of water.
 WARNING
Leaking Fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. Inspect system regularly.
Examine fuel System for Leaks or Corrosion at least annually.
The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the environment
and is dangerous to wildlife. DO NOT discharge or dispose of fuel, oil or
other chemicals into the water; it is prohibited and you can be fined. DO
NOT overfill the fuel tank, pump contaminated bilge water or discard soiled
rags into the water.
Discharge/Disposal of Waste
Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food, wood,
detergents, sewage and even fish parts in certain waters, essentially
anything. Bring back everything you take out and dispose of in an
environmentally friendly manner ashore.
Excessive Noise
Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even voices. Many bodies of
water have adopted noise limits. Music and loud conversation can carry
a considerable distance on water, especially at night. Make sure to follow
regulations and be courteous.
Wake/Wash
Be alert for NO WAKE zones. Prior to entering a NO WAKE zone, come off
plane to the slowest steerable speed. Use caution when operating around
smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested areas.
Exhaust Emissions
Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep
your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance.
Paints
If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of
anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate. Be aware of environmental
regulations that may govern your paint choice. Contact your local boating
authorities for information.
Cleaning Agents
Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into
waterways. DO NOT mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in
enclosed areas. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates, chlorine,
solvents, or non-biodegradable or petroleum-based products.

SECTION : INTRODUCTION |10
BOATING TERMINOLOGY
An easy way to remember PORT side from STARBOARD side is “PORT” and
“LEFT” both have four letters.
MARPOL Treaty
The USCG enforces the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from ships, commonly referred to as the MARPOL Treaty (Marine
Pollution). This treaty prohibits the overboard dumping of all ship-generated
plastics, chemicals, garbage and oil.
WARNING LABELS
The warning labels on your Tigé boat must remain legible. If a label is
damaged or you suspect a label is missing, contact your Tigé Dealer for
immediate replacement.
There are several labels placed throughout the boat to warn you about
potential hazards.
All persons should wear a suitable life preserver/personal flotation device
when on deck, especially children, disabled people and non-swimmers.
Inform all passengers on the proper use of personal flotation devices and
of the location of safety equipment, man overboard recovery equipment and
the location and deployment of the ladder.
In some countries it is a legal requirement to wear a suitable life preserver/
personal flotation device that complies with those countries’ regulations at
all times.
RESTRICTED AREAS
Before boating, check with local, state and federal authorities to identify
restricted areas. Because of the threat of terrorism, the U.S. Coast Guard
has implemented and will continue to enforce strict limits on watercraft near
U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships and other potential targets.

B OAT I N G S A FE T Y
SAFETY WHILE BOATING
Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the operator’s failure
to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Most accidents can be
avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat, its operation and
can recognize potentially hazardous situations.
In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe the safety
recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to you or to
others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Don’t
take unnecessary chances!
Drivers must be cognizant of their surroundings, other boats, their wake
and other environmental factors including safe turning speeds, people
and obstacles in the water, etc. Driver and boat owner assume all risks for
themselves, their guests and anyone in proximity to their boat as well as
ensuring that all passengers understand risks and responsibilities.
Develop Watersense
What is water sense? Water Sense is developed by familiarizing yourself
with the boat, driving, water, equipment, and maintaining vigilance.
Familiarize yourself and follow The Watersport Responsibility Code.
WSIA Responsibility Code
Be aware that there are risks in boating and watersports that good
judgment and personal awareness can help reduce. TO INCREASE
YOUR ENJOYMENT OF WATERSPORTS, FOLLOW THE TEN ELEMENTS
OF THE CODE.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO:
• ALWAYS familiarize yourself with applicable laws, waterways
and inherent risks
• ALWAYS have a capable observer in addition to driver and
agree on hand signals
• ALWAYS wear a USCG type III, ISO or other agency approved

Your Tigé boat has been constructed to meet all U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) requirements
applicable at the time of manufacture. However, it is still your responsibility
as the boat owner to ensure the boat is always operated in a safe fashion.
USCG regulations require certain safety equipment be present on your
boat during operation. Besides the USCG regulations, other local and/or
international law enforcement agencies may have similar requirements. You
should check with your local marine enforcement agency regarding any such
requirements before using the waterways.
It is not intended for this manual to be a replacement for a course on
boating safety. It is highly recommended that if you are unfamiliar with the
use and operation of a boat, you seek advice and training from a qualified
individual or organization. Check with your local boating agency or dealer for
more information about boating safety classes in your area.
Your safety, the safety of your passengers, and other boaters are among
your responsibilities as operator or owner of this boat. Your boat must
be in compliance with (USCG), state, and country safety equipment
regulations. You should know how to react correctly to adverse weather
conditions, have good navigation skills, and follow the “Rules of the Road”
as defined by the USCG and state/county/local regulations.
Before each outing you should check all safety equipment, such as fire
extinguishers, life jackets (PFDs), flares, distress flags, flashlights, and
emergency cutoff switch. They should be operable, in good condition,
readily visible, and easily accessed.
Know the weight capacity of your boat. DO NOT overload your boat.
Passengers and equipment should be spread out evenly.
This section covers general boating safety information. Throughout
this manual specific precautions and symbols identify safety related
