Special Care For Moored Boats
NOTICE
• T o help s eal the hul l bottom and reduc e the possi bility of gelcoat bl istering on moored bo ats,
apply an epoxy barrier coating . The barri er coating should be covered with sev eral coats of
anti-fouling pain t.
• Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your l ocal deal er about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
• This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
• Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
Sacrificial Anodes (Z incs)
NOTICE
Do not paint between the zinc and the metal surfa ce i t co ntact s and do not pai nt o ver the zincs.
NEW SACRIFICIAL ANODEDETERIORATED SACRIFICIAL ANODE
Your boat is equipped with sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration.
Check zincs regularly and replace them if they have deteriorated more than 70%.
There are many factors that determine the rate at which zincs deteriorate, including:
• Water temperat ure
• Salinity
• Water pollution
Stray current from the boat or dock may cause complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is rapid zinc
deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your boat with a Corrosion Test Meter. If the zincs are not
bonded correctly, they will not provide protection.
Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
A. Using engine,
generator, or
other fuel burning device
when boat is
moored in a
confined space.
B. Mooring too close to another boat that is using its
engine, generator, or other fuel burning device.
To correct stationary situations A and/or B:
• Closeall windows, portlights and hatches.
• If possible, move your boat away from source of CO.
Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
C. Running boat with trim angle of bow too high.
D. Running boat without through ventilation (sta-
tion wagon effect).
To correct running situations C and/or D:
• Trim bow down.
• Open windows and canvas.
• When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself and Ot hers From CO
•Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat (see above).
•Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times.
•Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.
•Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or swim platform while the engine(s) are running.
•Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
•Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the boat, take
immediate action to dissi pate these fumes.
•Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person into fresh air immediately. Seek medi-
cal attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
•Install and maintain CO alarms inside your boat. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by
the alarm manufacturer.
•Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
•Get a Vessel Safety Check .

filled and at each subsequent filling. For your safety and the safety of your passengers, the fu eling instructions in the Owner’s Manual must be carefu lly followed.
!
CAUTION!
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fue l l ines , fittings and tank.
Fuel Fill and Vent:
• The fuel fill and vent fitting is
marked “GAS”.
• If you experience difficulty filling
the fuel tan k, check to see if the
fuel fill hose or vent hose is kinked
or collapsed.
• If there are no visible signs of a
problem, contact your local dealer.
Fuel Filters:
All fuel tanks are equipped with a fine
mesh screen filter on the fuel pickup
tube (located inside the fuel tank). In
addition, when supplied by the engine
manufacturer, a filter is installed on
the engine.
• Replace the fuel filter periodically
to make sure it remains cl ean and
free of debris.
• Consult your selling dealer or local
marina concerning fuel additives
that help to prevent fungus or
buildup in your fuel tank.

Anti-siphon Valve:
Your boat is equipped with an anti-siph on valve, whi ch is an integral part of th e bar b fitting on the fu el tank in which
the neoprene fuel line attaches. The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum . These valves will
prevent fuel from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.
NOTICE
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starv ation, check the anti-siphon val ve. If the
valve is stuck or clogge d, it shoul d be chang ed or replaced while the engine is shut down.
• Under NO circumstances should the anti -si phon v al ve be removed, except in an emergency.
Engine Room Ventilation S ystem
The bilge blower removes fumes from the engine
compartment and draws fresh air into the com partment
through the deck vents. The bilge blower switch is
located at the helm.
To ensure fresh air circulation, run the bilge blower:
• For at least four minutes before starting the engine.
• During st arting.
• Anytime your boat is running below cruising speed.
WARNI NG!
!
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Running the blower system is not a guarantee tha t expl osive fumes have been removed.
If you smell fuel, DO NOT start the engine. If the engine is already running, IMMEDIATELY shut Off the engine and all electrical acces sori es and investigate.
• DO NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of cont rol!
• Do not allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to operate them.
• Do not use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause br oaching or other unsafe handling
characteristics.
• Do not use trim tabs to compens a te for excessive unequal weight distributi on.
The trim tabs may be used to help keep your boat level at c rui si ng speeds. The trim tabs are controlled by two rocker
switches at the helm. Before using the trim tabs read and understand the trim tab operation manual included in your
boat’s owner’s packet.
Observe the following:
• Once cruising speed is reached, the port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the boat.
• Perform trim tab adjustment with several short touches to the switch rather than one long one.
• After each short touch allow several seconds for the hull to react.
• The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. The fluid level must be checked
periodically (at least once a year) and refilled as necessary.

Your boat comes equipped with a marine head (toilet) and waste holding tank system. Be sure to read the
manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual (included in your boat’s owner’s packet).
• The marine head installed on your boat uses seawater to flush waste from the toilet. The seawater intake valve
(seacock) is located in the engine compartment.
• Waste is routed directly from the head to the holding tank .
• The holding tank is plumbed to a fitting on the deck for dockside pump-out.
• You can determine the content level of the holding tank by looking at the tank located under the forward floor
hatch in the main cabin. We advise emptying the holding tank at every opportunity.
• If you are unable to pump water into the bowl, the probable cause is debris in the pump diaphragm. To remedy
this, shut Off the seawater intake valve (seacock) and dismantle the pump. The pump is generally held together
with six screws (the design is simple and the problem will be obvious when the pump body is split Open).
32
2858 Classic Cruiser • Owner’s Manual SupplementChapter 2: Features & Systems
Operating the manual flush marine head:
1. Open the head’s seawater intake valve (seacock).
2. Before using the head, pump enough water into the bowl to wet the sides.
After use, pump until the bowl is thoroughly cleaned. Continue pumping a few more times to clean the lines.
If excess waste causes the water to rise in the bowl, stop pumping until the water recedes.
Winterizing The Marine Head
1. Shut Off the intake seacock, and pump the head until the bowl is dry.
2. Remove the drain plug in the base and pump again to remove all of the water.
• Do not fill the bowl with anti-freeze.
• Close the intake seacock while the boat is underway or whenever the boat is left moored in the water.
• The VacuFlush head system uses a v acuum pump and fr eshwater from the wat er tank to flush wa ste from the t oilet
into the holding tank.
• The holding tank is plumbed to a waste fitting on the deck for dockside pump-out.
Macerator (If Equipped)
NOTICE
Check with local authorities for regulations regarding the legal use of marine head systems.
To use the macerator to pump waste directly into the water (where regulat i ons permit):
1. Open the underwater discharge seacock.
2. Press both macerator switches at the same time to run the pump. Do not continue running the macerator if the
waste holding tank is empty.
3. Close the underwater discharge seacock when you are done pumping.
Dangerous carbon monoxide gas (CO) can be brought into the boat through
the air conditioning system.
