When the boat battery is first connected, the unit is in locked mode. In this
mode, the horn, bilge pump, bilge blower, and code buttons are operational.
Unlocked Mode
Unlocked mode is entered after the user successfully enters the user code,
presses, and releases the start button. When the code keys are pressed, the
system indicator light to the right of the start button will turn on while the
key is pressed down. This indicates the button has actually been pushed.
When the system is unlocked, power is supplied to the boat and the system
indicator light will turn on. At this point all keypad buttons are operational
and actuating these buttons will control the corresponding boat functions. To
put the unit back in locked mode, the user must successfully enter the user
code then
press the
stop button.

If no keypad activity takes place for ten hours after unlocking, the system will
automatically revert to the locked mode. This helps to minimize battery drain.
Automatic Back-lighting
Pressing any keypad button will automatically turn the keypad back-lighting
on for ten seconds. This feature is useful for those that use their boat after dark
to find the appropriate keypad buttons.
Multiple Keyless Ignition Codes
The keyless ignition system has provision for three different ignition codes.
Any of the three codes may be used to unlock or lock the system.
The “Master Embedded Code” is programmed into the system at Correct Craft
Inc. and is not changeable, remaining with the boat for it’s life. This code can
be used to unlock the system, to lock the system and to erase the two user
codes.
The “Primary User Code” is programmed into the system by the owner with
the dealers help at the time of boat delivery. This code is used to unlock the
system, to lock the system, and to add or change the “Secondary User Code”
The “Secondary User Code” is programmed into the system by the owner
when necessary. This code is only used to unlock or lock the system. The
“Secondary User Code” is excellent to use for limited access to the boat.

key, you activate the function indicated.
All of these switches interface with a sealed circuit breaker box located under
the bow. The circuit breaker box consists of sixteen soft opaque flexible vinyl
tubular shields which cover sixteen circuit switches. When the circuits are
functioning, the tubular shield is somewhat flexible. A tripped circuit breaker
will extend and fill the tubular shield, causing it to be inflexible. To locate a
tripped circuit breaker, run your fingers over the two rows of switches and
locate the switch shield that has become inflexible. To re-set, simply press in
the extended circuit switch shield.
Bilge pumps
The bilge pump switch turns on the bilge pumps. There is a bilge pump down
by the front of the fuel tank and another bilge pump back by the rudder. When
you push the bilge pump key on the keypad, both
pumps will come on and run for several moments
to “sense” of there is water in the bilge. If there
is water in the bilge, they will remain on until the
water is pumped out. If there is no water in the
bilge, they will turn off. If you want immediate
pump action, turn the switch off and then back on
again. The pumps will turn on periodically to
determine if there is water in the bilge. If so, they
will remain on until the water is pumped out.
Note: The “Bilge” switch must be turned on
for this feature to operate. This will not drain
significant power from the battery unless the bilge pumps are required to
run frequently because of a leak or excessive rainwater. This pumping
system should not be relied on over an extended period of time. We
suggest you frequently inspect your boat.
Bilge Pump Only Mode
This feature is activated by a switch located below the gauges on the side
console. The switch has three positions, on, off and bilge. If the boat is going
to sit for more than a few days with the bilge pump on, it is important that the
switch is set in

Lifting rings
Your boat has lifting rings at the bow and at the stern. The lifting ring at the
bow is flush with the deck. To use this ring, lift up on the ring and insert the
lifting hook. These are designed to lift your boat in a steady and secure manner.
Be certain to use a winch that has a lifting capacity sufficient for your boat. See
boat weight specs in the front of this manual. These weights are dry weight.
You must add the weight of the battery, fuel, and gear to the dry weight.
CAUTION: DRAIN THE BILGE AND/OR LAUNCH CONTROL
SYSTEM AND/OR AFTERMARKET WATER BLADDERS(S) TO
ELIMINATE EXCESS WATER BEFORE YOU LIFT THE BOAT.
Note: Only use a hook that will pass easily through the lifting ring without
binding. This is very important. A hook that is too large or off-center could
break the lifting ring.
Capacity Plate
The capacity plate is used by boat manufacturers participating in the
National Marine Manufacturers
Association certification program.
Correct Craft has submitted your
model for inspection and
compliance with their guidelines.
The capacity plate has the
following information permanently
printed on it. It is attached to the
boat by the throttle for the operator
to read before they drive the boat.
• The total weight of persons, gear
and other items which the boat is
capable of carrying under normal
conditions. This weight must
include any water added to
ballast other than the Launch
Control System.
• The maximum number of persons allowed on the boat.
This information on the capacity plate applies under normal conditions and
special care must be used in any other than normal conditions.
Check the capacity plate on your boat and abide by these limits.
NOTE: CORRECT CRAFT, INC. INSTALLS A PERMANENT
WAKE ENHANCEMENT BALLAST TANK SYSTEM IN SOME
MODELS. THE FULL WEIGHT OF THIS SYSTEM HAS
ALREADY BEEN CONSIDERED IN THE BOAT WEIGHT AND

TURN YOUR NAUTIQUE WITH THIS IN MIND. AS
WAKEBOARDING HAS DEVELOPED, WE HAVE WITNESSED
THE ADVENT OF BALLAST SYSTEMS WHICH ADD WEIGHT
AND INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE WAKE. THE SIMPLEST
BALLAST SYSTEM ON THE MARKET IS THE WATER BALLAST
TYPE, SUCH AS THE ‘LAUNCH PAD”. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON
TO SEE OPERATORS USE SUCH SYSTEMS AND THEN PUT
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE IN THEIR BOAT. PLEASE BE ADVISED
THAT THIS PRACTICE CAN LEAD TO OVERLOADING OF
YOUR BOAT. EACH CORRECT CRAFT, INC. BOAT HAS A
REQUIRED CAPACITY LABEL THAT MEETS THE MAXIMUM
WEIGHT OF PEOPLE, GEAR, AND BALLAST THAT CAN BE
PLACED IN THE BOAT. ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE LOAD IN
YOUR BOAT AND DO NOT LOAD THE BOAT IN EXCESS OF
THE LISTED CAPACITY. THE QUEST FOR THE “PHATTEST”
WAKE HAS CAUSED SOME TO EXCESSIVELY OVERLOAD
THEIR BOATS. THIS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
OPERATION OF THE BOAT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY
TO PERSONS INSIDE AND/OR OUTSIDE OF THE BOAT. AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY. DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR NAUTIQUE.
GREAT CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN COMING

Hull Identification Number
The hull identification number is a requirement of the U.S. Coast Guard for
boat manufacturers. It is a standardized numbering system that assigns a
specific sequence of numbers and letters to a specific boat. This number is
molded into the hull. You will find it on the right-hand side of the transom just
below the rubrail. Write this number down in your records and keep it in a safe
place away from the boat.
Here is a brief explanation to help you understand the hull number:
The first three digits represent Correct Craft, Inc.(CTC). The next five digits
are the boat’s serial number. The following digit is a letter from “A” through
“L” designating the month the boat was made.
There are three remaining numbers. The first of these represent the last digit of
the year the boat was built. The final two numbers state the MODEL year. A
boat built in July of 2001 is actually a 2002 model boat.

Folding Instructions for Optional Flight Control Tower
In order to fold the Flight Control Tower forward, grasp the knobs found under
the support structure on the port and starboard sides of the tower. Unscrew the
threaded bolts. Rock the tower forward. The tower will rest on the grab rails
of the bow section of the boat. In the folded position, it is also recommended
that the tower be securely strapped to the grab rails. In order to reposition the
tower in the upright position, simply reverse the steps.
Optional Launch Control System
Your boat may be equipped with a water
ballast system that enhances the wake shape
for wakeboarding. This system may be in
two configurations. The system may be two
tanks located in the stern storage
compartments or it could also include a third
tank located in the storage locker by the
driver’s seat.
To fill the ballast system, launch the boat,
open the seacocks as displayed on the label, and turn on the fill pumps with the
‘FILL’ switch located on the starboard keypad. The seacocks are located
adjacent to the v-drive unit. These valves are accessed by raising the center
stern seat. Each valve has a remote operation handle located in the carpeted
panel behind the seat. The seacock for the center ballast tank, if so equipped,
is located just behind the tank and is accessed by raising the locker door
adjacent to the driver’s seat. The tanks will fill either with the boat moving
forward or at rest. Note: It may be necessary to prime the system. This can
be done by turning the pumps on and off several times or by putting the boat
in forward motion for a short time. This procedure should only be necessary
during your initial startup for the day. When the tanks are full, gauges located
on either the instrument pod or drivers console, will read “full” and water will
come out of the vent through-hull fittings located on either side of the boat.
Turn off the pumps and close the seacocks.
To empty the tanks turn on the drain pumps with the ‘EMPTY’ switch located
on the starboard keypad. When the tanks are empty turn the pumps off. There
are no valves to open or close and the tanks can be emptied when the boat is
in motion.

Regularly check the set screw on the side of the black knob for tightness.
The boat speed will decrease in sharp turns. If you are towing skiers, you may
wish to manually increase the throttle or use the DISENGAGE feature to
maintain speed in sharp turns.
When towing wakeboarders, accelerate slightly past desired speed prior to
engaging the speed control.
TELEFLEX LCD SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER SYSTEM
The LCD Speedometer and Tachometer system consists of a speedometer
gauge, a tachometer gauge and a speed transducer assembly.
The speedometer gauge utilizes a liquid crystal display (LCD) to provide
information and three push button switches to manipulate the display. This
microprocessor-based gauge communicates with the speed transducer
assembly over a serial communication link. The speed transducer assembly
measures the pressures generated at each of the two Pitot tube pressure sources
and communicates the data to the speedometer gauge. The gauge then displays
the higher of the two sources as the current speed.
The tachometer gauge also utilizes a LCD display and push button switch
arrangement to communicate with the operator. The engine speed input to the
gauge comes directly from the engine ignition system.
Speedometer Operation
The speedometer operates in one of three “modes”. These are “Text mode”,
“Competition mode”, and “Deviation mode”. The operator may switch
between modes using the mode button.
The speedometer powers on in “Text mode” with the text line containing
“NAUTIQUES” and the deviation bar graph speed display blank. After

1.17
approximately five seconds the gauge will automatically enter “Competition
mode”.
In “Competition mode” the analog and digital speed displays will indicate
current speed and the pitot symbol will indicate which pitot tube is being used.
The deviation bar graph speed display at the bottom of the speedometer will
indicate how close the current speed is to the set point speed within the
displayed plus and minus limits. The limits can be changed from plus or minus
one mile per hour to plus or minus nine miles per hour. The current set point
speed is displayed just above the bar graph. If the current speed is below the
set point speed, bars in the deviation bar graph speed display will illuminate to
the left of center and if the current speed is above the set point speed, bars will
illuminate to the right of center. The number of bar segments that illuminate
is dependent on the deviation setting.
The set point speed can be changed while in “Competition mode” by pressing
the mode button or the up and down arrow buttons. Pressing the mode button
will immediately change the set point speed to the current boat speed. Pressing
an arrow button once will change the set point speed either up or down by one
tenth of a mile per hour. Pressing and holding an arrow button for
approximately one and a half seconds will cause the set point speed to change
by one mile per hour. Each successive arrow button push before another one
and one half seconds has elapsed will cause the set point speed to change by
one mile per hour. After the time has elapsed without a button push the
speedometer reverts to changing the set point speed by one tenth of a mile per
hour per button push.
The bar graph deviation can be changed by pressing and holding the mode
button until the speedometer changes to “Deviation mode”. The text line will
display deviation X, where X is the current deviation value. Pressing the
arrow buttons will cause the deviation to change in one mile per hour
increments. After a time out period the speedometer will automatically return
to “Competition mode”. The speedometer will go to the “Text mode” if the
mode button is pressed before the time period has expired. Once in “Text
mode” it is necessary to push the mode button again to return to “Competition
mode”.
In order to calibrate the speedometer it must be in “Competition mode”. Press
both arrow buttons simultaneously and the text line display will have a “P” on
the left, an “S” on the right, and “EXIT” in the middle. Each Pitot tube can be
calibrated separately by using one of the arrow buttons to select the desired
Pitot tube. After a Pitot tube is selected the arrow buttons should be used to
increase or decrease the constant for that Pitot tube. Increasing the constant
will increase the speed reading for that Pitot tube and vice versa. Once a Pitot
tube is calibrated press the mode button to exit back to the calibration display
and select the other Pitot tube if necessary then follow the same procedures or
press the mode button to exit.

It is the owners responsibility to check all of the items below to be certain
all preparation steps have been completed before you use your boat.
Checking these items periodically will soon become habitual. If leaks or other
abnormal conditions are found, stop using the boat and contact your Correct
Craft dealer to have the problem(s) corrected.
The following instructions are vitally important:
• Raise the center engine hatch all the way up. Check to see if all the engine
drain plugs are in. Make sure the hull drain plug down in the bilge and also
the drain plug at the transom are installed.
• Look at all the hoses to make sure they are installed and the hose clamps are
tight. Close the engine hatch and turn on the blower (switch is on the dash).
Run the blower at least four (4) minutes. This helps to remove fuel vapors
that might be down in the bilge before starting engine. Remember, if you
have detected the presence of fuel vapors, do not start engine until source has
been determined, any problems corrected and vapors removed.
Very Important!
• Check all gasoline line connections. These connections are located at the fuel
tank, the Fuel Control Cell and the fuel injection system. All Correct Craft
boats are equipped with anti-siphon valves on the outlet fittings of the fuel
tanks to reduce the chance of fuel siphoning from the fuel tank if a fuel hose
leaks or is severed.
• Fill the fuel tank and check for leaks. Check again for leaks after the engine
has run for a few minutes.
Check list before starting:
1) Engine oil level - boat must be sitting level.
2) Transmission oil level - boat must be sitting level.
3) Shifting linkage and detent in forward, neutral and reverse.
4) Leaks (water, fuel and oil).
5) Coolant level (if the engine is freshwater cooled).
6) Operation of the throttle and transmission shift control.
7) Battery condition.
8) Visually inspect for any loose mounting fasteners.
9) Verify the emergency engine cut off switch located by the throttle is
fully functional. Clip the safety lanyard securely to your body at all times
while you are driving.

• Once the boat is in the water, visually check for water leaking at the stuffing
box. This stuffing box must drip a moderate amount of water to properly
lubricate the drive shaft. If the water is rapidly coming in, pull the boat out
and have the dealer adjust the stuffing box. There is a detailed instruction for
this in the boat care section. (This stuffing box has left-hand threads)
• Check to make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the belts and
pulleys of the engine. Severe injury can result by becoming entangled in the
belts of the engine while it is running. Make sure the boat is deep enough in
the water to supply the water intake with water to cool the engine. Move the
throttle into the neutral position. This is in the “straight up” position.

ARNING: Before you start your engine, always ventilate the engine
compartment by running the blower for four (4) minutes to remove any
fuel fumes that may be in the bilge. This is especially important after
repairing or refueling to check for fuel spills or leaks before starting the
engine.
• Close the engine hatch.
• Start the engine.
CAUTION: Do not continue to operate the starter for more than 30
seconds without pausing to allow the starter motor to cool off for five (5)
minutes. This allows the battery to recover between starting attempts.
W
ARNING: In order to prevent personal injury to you or others, whenever
the engine is running the engine hatch must be closed. Never operate the
engine with the engine hatch open or while someone is in the area of an open
engine hatch. Never open the engine hatch unless the engine is turned off
and rotating parts are stationary and remain in a stationary position.
Rotating machinery can cause injury and even death if an accident should
occur. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL WORK ON THE ENGINE BE
DONE BY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
During the warm up period, scan the gauges for correct operation of all
the systems:
• Oil pressure 35- 80 PSI (Approx.) at 2000 RPM
• Cooling water flow and water temperature 140-170 degrees
• Cooling water temperature for fresh water systems: 170 - 210 Degrees
• Volts should rise to around 13 - 14 volts or higher
• Idle RPM (600 - 700) in gear
CAUTION: Do not operate at high RPM’s in neutral. Do not shift into
forward or reverse at engine speeds above idle RPM’s.
CAUTION: Do not operate engine without cooling water flowing through
the water pump or the neoprene water pump impeller will become
damaged, and severe engine damage may result.

• Once the boat is in the water, visually check for water leaking at the stuffing
box. This stuffing box must drip a moderate amount of water to properly
lubricate the drive shaft. If the water is rapidly coming in, pull the boat out
and have the dealer adjust the stuffing box. There is a detailed instruction for
this in the boat care section. (This stuffing box has left-hand threads)
• Check to make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the belts and
pulleys of the engine. Severe injury can result by becoming entangled in the
belts of the engine while it is running. Make sure the boat is deep enough in
the water to supply the water intake with water to cool the engine. Move the
throttle into the neutral position. This is in the “straight up” position.
W
ARNING: Before you start your engine, always ventilate the engine
compartment by running the blower for four (4) minutes to remove any
fuel fumes that may be in the bilge. This is especially important after
repairing or refueling to check for fuel spills or leaks before starting the
engine.
• Close the engine hatch.
• Start the engine.
CAUTION: Do not continue to operate the starter for more than 30
seconds without pausing to allow the starter motor to cool off for five (5)
minutes. This allows the battery to recover between starting attempts.
W
ARNING: In order to prevent personal injury to you or others, whenever
the engine is running the engine hatch must be closed. Never operate the
engine with the engine hatch open or while someone is in the area of an open
engine hatch. Never open the engine hatch unless the engine is turned off
and rotating parts are stationary and remain in a stationary position.
Rotating machinery can cause injury and even death if an accident should
occur. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL WORK ON THE ENGINE BE
DONE BY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
During the warm up period, scan the gauges for correct operation of all
the systems:
• Oil pressure 35- 80 PSI (Approx.) at 2000 RPM
• Cooling water flow and water temperature 140-170 degrees
• Cooling water temperature for fresh water systems: 170 - 210 Degrees
• Volts should rise to around 13 - 14 volts or higher
• Idle RPM (600 - 700) in gear
CAUTION: Do not operate at high RPM’s in neutral. Do not shift into
forward or reverse at engine speeds above idle RPM’s.
CAUTION: Do not operate engine without cooling water flowing through
the water pump or the neoprene water pump impeller will become
damaged, and severe engine damage may result.
If the fuel injected engine does not start:
• If the fuel filter has just been changed or if the fuel system has been run dry,
it will be necessary to cycle the ignition start button from the “stop” position
to the “start”position several times until the fuel pumps build adequate
pressure. The cycling of the ignition is necessary because the fuel pumps will
run only 1-2 seconds when the ignition is turned on, unless the engine starts.
The throttle control should stay in neutral during engine ignition. If the
throttle is advanced, it is possible for the computer to think that the engine is
flooded and initiate a “clear flood” condition which will shut off fuel to the
engine and not allow it to start. The idle speed flare normally encountered on
hot or cold start is perfectly normal. This is programmed into the computer.
When the engine starts the idle speed will jump to approximately 1,500 rpm
and quickly decrease to somewhere between 750 and 900 rpm.
• Check for gasoline and cooling water leaks on the engine.
• Check for cooling water circulation (look at the water filter at the rear port
side of the engine for water movement).
Flooded engine
If your engine does become flooded, use caution when attempting to start the
engine. Push in the transmission disengagement button at the bottom of the
throttle arm and push the throttle to full throttle position. By pushing the button
in, the shift linkage is disengaged and the transmission remains in neutral
during the starting procedure. Run the starter until the engine starts.
To protect your investment, we suggest that you bring your boat back to your
local dealer after 25 hours of operation for an inspection of the shaft alignment,
stuffing boxes adjustment, and have the fuel system checked for leaks. This is
not a free service. Follow Pleasure Craft Marine’s (PCM) recommendations in
the maintenance section for additional service to the engine. (See Chapter 8)
Consult your dealer to determine what charges will apply.
When the engine starts, move the throttle lever back until the engine is running
about 2,500 RPM or less. Check the gauges for normal readings and let the
engine run for a minute to burn the excess fuel. If the gauge readings are
abnormal, shut the engine off immediately and contact your Correct Craft
dealer. When the engine runs normally, check the engine for fuel, water and
exhaust leaks. If there are leaks, these must be corrected before you continue.
NOTE: Read the “Notice to Dealer” sticker inside the engine hatch. These
preparation checks have probably been completed by your dealer, but it is the
owner’s responsibility to check these items. This will also help you become
more familiar with your boat.

After your initial run:
• Check oil level in the engine
• Check the transmission oil level
• Check the V-Drive oil level
• Check for leaks (water, fuel and oil)
• Engine frame bolts and mounts are tight
• Throttle and shift control operates correctly
W
ARNING: If the engine backfires when you try to start it, the problem
may be more serious than flooding. DO NOT CONTINUE TR
YING
TO START THE ENGINE; CONTACT YOUR CORRECT CRAFT
DEALER OR A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE
PROBLEM. To keep on trying to start the engine under these conditions
could cause engine damage or physical harm to you and those
around you.
Break In Procedure
Make sure all your passengers are properly seated before starting the break in
procedure. After the engine is thoroughly warmed up and you have driven the
boat into a large open area, open the throttle to wide open until the maximum
RPM’s are reached. Do not exceed 5,000 RPM. Reduce the throttle to 2,8003,000 RPM’s and cruise at or below this speed for 1/2 hour. Reduce the speed
to idle, open the throttle wide and operate at that speed for one minute; reduce
to the previous cruising speed for a few minutes and repeat. Accelerating from
idle speed to full throttle loads the engine and assists in seating the piston
rings. This cycle can be repeated from time to time during the first five hours
of operation, but full throttle should not be used for longer than 1-2 minutes.
W
ARNING: Follow these procedures only when conditions are such that you
can drive the boat safely..
CAUTION: Do not attempt to break in an engine by letting it idle at the
dock.

G ENERAL NOTES
The maximum RPM of the engine at full throttle under normal load conditions
can be controlled by propeller pitch, diameter and design. It is essential that the
propeller does not underload or overload the engine.
Propeller Overloading, resulting in low RPM’s at wide open throttle will
give poor performance, poor fuel economy and eventually result in engine
damage.
Propeller Underloading, if operated with a propeller that has too little pitch
or diameter, poor performance will result.
NOTE: Running your boat in shallow water can cause sand and silt to be
pulled into the cooling system. This can create excessive water pump wear and
may clog the water passages in the engine. Heavy weed growth in the water
can plug the raw water strainer and oil coolers and cause engine damage. There
is a raw water filter located near the rear of the engine that filters the water
before it goes into the transmission cooler and then the engine. Check this
every time you use the boat to make sure it is not clogged.
