CO poisoning causes a signicant number of boating deaths each year.•
Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.•
CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your boat.•
CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.•
CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.•
CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.•
Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.•
The effects are cumulative. Even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.•
!
Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and •
extremely dangerous.
ALL engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce •
CO as exhaust.
Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick •
exposure to high concentrations WILL cause BRAIN DAMAGE
or DEATH.
Teak surng, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving •
watercraft can be fatal.
DANGER
Factors that Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning

Manual, always refer to the engine manual rst for specic information on these important subjects:
Engine Break-in Procedure•
Engine Starting and Stopping•
Gear Shifting•
Fuel and Oil Recommendations•
Engine Maintenance•
Engine Storage/Winterization•
Gasoline Fuel System
The gasoline fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel tank vent, anti-siphon valve, engine fuel supply
line and fuel ll. Your vessel contains a new EPA certied fuel system. The system prevents spit back
when lling the tank and lowers the out gassing emissions through the tank and vent.
!
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, and OPEN FLAME HAZARD!
Thoroughly inspect the fuel system for leaks every time you take on fuel.•
Follow both the • Sport Boat Owner’s Manual fueling instructions and the
engine operation manual fuel recommendations.
!
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, ttings and tank.
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
Carefully read the fuel section of both the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual
and the engine operation manual, paying special attention to the subject
Your boat is equipped with a fuel tank vent for each tank which serves as a pressure/vacuum release.
Periodically check the vents to assure that they are not clogged.
The fuel ll deck tting is marked GAS. If you have problems lling the fuel tank, see if the fuel ll
hose or fuel tank vent hose is kinked or collapsed. If there are no visible signs of a problem, contact
your local dealer.
Anti-Siphon Valve
NOTICE
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the •
anti-siphon valve.
If the valve is stuck or clogged, turn Off the engine and then repair or •
replace the valve.
Except in an emergency, NEVER run the engine without the anti-siphon valve.•
The anti-siphon valve is a vital fuel system part.
If the fuel line ruptures, this valve prevents the siphoning of fuel from the tank. The valve is located
on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank. The valve is spring loaded and is
opened by the fuel pump vacuum.
Carbon Canister Venting System
Your boat is equipped with a carbon canister. This canister lters all the hydrocarbons that pass through
the canister. If the carbon canister is mounted in the engine compartment, the canister will have a heat
shield. Periodically check that the shield has not become damaged.
Fuel Recommendations
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance and long engine life. Care
should be taken to select fuels having the octane rating recommended for the engine, as indicated in the
owner’s manual, for proper operation. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination. Your fuel tanks
should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of water condensation and
reduce the possibility of contamination.
When lling the tank, do NOT attempt to top off the tank. When the ll nozzle shuts off, the tank is full.
Continuing to ll past the fuel ll shut off will cause the system to spit back.
Boat steering is not self-centering.•
Your boat features either mechanical rack-and-pinion steering or manual hydraulic steering.•
Check the uid level in the hydraulic steering reservoir every time you use your boat.•
Refer to the engine manual for steering system details.•

operation manual, and the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual.
Power Trim and Tilt
The outboard engine on your boat is equipped with power trim and tilt.•
Trim and tilt instructions are provided in the engine operation manual and the shift/throttle manual.•
Gauges
Cleaning the Gauges
Use only mild soap and water to clean the gauge lenses and bezels.•
Use of other cleaners, including common window cleaning solutions, •
may cause the lenses to crack.
Lenses cracked in this manner will NOT be covered by our warranty.•
Gauge Fogging
Moisture may occasionally nd its way into the gauges causing lens fogging.•
Turning On the gauge lights will help dry the lenses.•
Fogging will not harm the gauges.•
CAUTION
!
PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
Radio Transmission Interference
VHF or other radio transmissions may cause brief erratic readings on the tachometer. This will not
damage the tachometer gauge or affect its accuracy when not transmitting.
Fuel Gauge
It is normal for the pointer on your fuel gauge to bounce as fuel sloshes back and forth in the fuel tank.
Your boat has a bilge pump for pumping water out of the bilge.
NOTICE
Discharge of oil, oil waste, or fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law.
Violators are subject to legal action by the local authorities.
The pump's built-in oat switch turns On the bilge pump if bilge water rises above a preset level. •
Small amounts of water in the bilge are normal.
You can also turn On the bilge pump using the switch at the helm.•
The bilge pump is wired directly to the battery. Unless the battery is dead, the bilge pump should •
work even when your boat is unattended.
The bilge pump is vital to the safety of your boat. Test the bilge pump often as follows:
Turn On the bilge pump switch at the helm.1.
Make sure that water in the bilge is pumped overboard.2.
If there is water in the bilge and the pump motor is running but not pumping water, inspect the 3.
discharge hose for a kink or collapsed area.
If the discharge hose looks okay, check the bilge pump and strainer for clogging debris.4.
Drain System
Deck Drains
Water on the deck is drained overboard through the deck drains. Keep the deck drains free of debris.
Close the seacocks when leaving your boat unattended for any length of time.•
If a seacock is left open, a hose failure could ood the bilge, swamp the •
batteries, and even sink your boat.

Canvas Care
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the canvas with cold freshwater.•
Before stowing, let the canvas air-dry completely.•
The canvas can be rolled or folded for stowage.•
NEVER use detergents when washing the canvas. Detergents can destroy
the water repellency, and mildew/UV resistant nish of your canvas.
Regularly clean the canvas to prevent dirt, pollen, etc. from embedding in the fabric. Generally, it is
easiest to wash the canvas while it is installed on your boat.
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove all dust and loose dirt.1.
Hose down the canvas with freshwater.2.
Gently wash the canvas with a solution of lukewarm water (no more than 100° F) and non-detergent 3.
mild soap, such as Ivory Snow®, Dreft®, or Woolite®.
Rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.4.
Before stowing, let the canvas dry completely.5.
Stubborn Stains
Soaking in bleach solutions may remove the waterproof nish of the fabric
and may also decrease the life of the polyester thread used in the canvas.
If needed, a water repellent treatment should be reapplied to your canvas.
Ask your dealer about the treatments available for your boat’s canvas.
