Congratulations on the purchase of one of the finest pleasure boats in the world. It has been proudly built to give
you many years of boating pleasure.
We’ve done our part—
Pride of craftsmanship is your assurance that you’ve
bought the very best. All Glastron models meet or exceed
U.S. Coast Guard safety standards relating to load and
horsepower capacity, flotation, electrical, steering, ventilation, and fuel systems, in effect the date of manufacture.
But our work is not over—
We stand behind every boat we build. Your Glastron dealer
will assist you with registration of your boat for warranty.
They will be happy to help you maintain your boat and
answer questions concerning warranty, performance,
accessories, and service. The warranty card must be filled
out and sent to establish your warranty.
Now it’s your turn—
Your Owner’s Manual is intended to help you become
familiar with your new boat. While this manual contains
information to assure safe and enjoyable boating, it does
not provide everything you need to know. Above all, take
time to know your boat. Read the material supplied by the
manufacturer of your engine. Your owner’s manual does
not supersede or change any of their specifications, operation, or maintenance instructions. Also read all literature
supplied with your boat by the manufacturers of the
various accessories which are used on your boat. Glastron
Boats recommends that you read the boating literature
published by your State Boating Agency.
OWNER’S MANUAL STRUCTURE
Your owner’s manual should be used as a guide to familiarize yourself with all the systems and components
onboard your Glastron boat. The procedures in this manual will assist you with safe and proper operation, and
maintenance of your boat. The level of information may be
general in some cases and more detailed in others.
Suppliers of the more complex components such as
engine, electronics, pumps, and refrigerator, supply their
own instructional manuals delivered to you when you purchased your boat. These suppliers maintain their own
manufacturer’s warranty and service facilities. It is essential that you fill-out each warranty card and mail them to
each manufacturer informing that you are a registered
owner of their product(s). Record all information regarding
these products on the “Boat Log” located in this chapter
under Boat Records. Keep the Boat Log in a safe place at
home and never onboard the boat.
Your owner’s manual is designed with the boat
owner/operator in mind. The intent of the manual is to provide sufficient information to allow the user to safely
operate and maintain your new Glastron boat. Your
Owner’s Manual is structured as follows:
WELCOME ABOARD
Included in the Welcome Aboard Chapter of your manual
is our welcome aboard message to all new Glastron boat
owners, construction and standards, dealer and owner
responsibilities, warranty, important logs and this summary
of your owner’s manual.
The Safety portion of this chapter contains safety recommendations, safety information and practices, weather
1.1
WELCOME ABOARD 1
precautions, and safety equipment (onboard and underway).
Additionally, specific safety warnings and comments are located throughout your owner’s manual (and on your boat),
therefore you should carefully read the entire manual.
SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
The Systems & Components Chapter provides illustrative
information covering system items such as electrical, fuel
and water systems onboard, as well as specified information regarding the components installed on your new
Glastron boat.
PRE-LAUNCH & UNDERWAY
The intent of the Pre-launch & Underway Chapter is to
familiarize the boat owner/operator with necessary information in preparation of trailering, launching and putting
your new Glastron boat in the water. Encountering underway adjustments and situations is also explained.
MAINTENANCE
Recommendations for keeping your new Glastron boat in
sound operational condition, making adjustments, frequency of checks and inspections, and a troubleshooting chart
are all introduced in the Maintenance Chapter.
CARE & APPEARANCE
Provided in the Care & Appearance Chapter are inspections, cleaning, and maintenance for your boats fiberglass,
deck and canvas.

The Winterization & Storage Chapter presents information
and procedures to follow when your boat will be winterized
or stored for extended periods of time.
BOATING TERMINOLOGY
Terms and definitions associated with your boat that you
will encounter while participating in recreational boating
can be found in the Boating Terminology Chapter.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Glastron Boat Owner
1. Set up an appointment with your Glastron dealer to discuss all warranties. Complete and return the Glastron
Boats Limited Warranty Registration card, and keep a
record of the hull number for future reference.
2. Inspect the boat at the time of delivery to verify that all
systems and components are operating safely and
acceptably. Read all manuals and instructions.
3. Operate all equipment in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Schedule an appointment with your Glastron dealer to
spell out the pre-delivery engine service record. Sign
this record to indicate that it has been explained to you
in detail by your dealer.
5. Schedule with your dealer your boat’s 20 hour check-up.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that your dealer checks the
engine alignment during your boat’s 20 hour check-up.
The engine alignment check should be performed in accordance with the recommended procedures as stated by the
engine manufacturer in your engine owner’s manual.
Failure to do so could result in drive train damage and is
not covered under the Glastron Boats Warranty.
1.2
6. Glastron Boats recommend that you reference your
engine warranty certificate for initial inspection and service requirements.
7. Perform or provide for the warranted periodic maintenance outlined in this manual and all related service
guides and manuals.
Glastron Boat Dealership
1. Your Glastron dealer will discuss the terms of all warranties, and emphasize the importance of registering
each warranty with the appropriate manufacturer.
2. Your Glastron dealer will provide instruction for obtaining warranty service.
3. Your Glastron dealer will cover each item on the predelivery service record with you, and then sign it to
certify that all work has been suitably performed.
4. Your Glastron dealer can provide you with a comprehensive instruction in the operation of your boat and all
systems and components installed onboard, just ask
your dealer.
BOAT RECORDS
You have been provided with three very useful forms at the
end of this section. The Boat Log is used to write down all
of your boat’s important information and data regarding the
major components installed on your boat. Once you have
entered all the information, remove
the Boat Log from your
Owner’s Manual and keep it in a safe place. Do not keep
this log onboard your boat.
The purpose of the Cruise Log is to provide a record of
your destination, departure and return times, boat description, passenger list, and other information regarding your
trip expectations. At the bottom of the log is a place to list
emergency telephone numbers in case you encounter
trouble underway and your return time has expired.
The Cruise Log is to be left ashore with a responsible per-
son. In the event of an emergency, this log is to be
reported to the proper authorities. The person reporting
this information should list their name, location, and telephone number on the Cruise Log. You should make
several copies of this log to use throughout the boating
season.
The Fuel Usage Log is an easy way to log information
covering engine hours, fuel consumption, miles traveled,
RPMs, Average MPH, and GPH (gallons per hour).
Observance of the information logged will forewarn you of
scheduled maintenance and inspections.
WARRANTY
Your Glastron Boat is backed by a Limited Express
Warranty. The complete warranty follows the Boating
Terminology chapter at the end of this manual. It is important that you are aware of its terms. If a problem arises
with your Glastron boat as a result of workmanship or
materials, contact your Glastron dealer as soon as possible to determine if it may be covered by the warranty.
Please have your hull identification number, and necessary
model numbers on hand for the items that require service
or repair. Your hull identification number is located below
the rub rail on the starboard rear corner of your boat.
NOTE: There are items which are not cover
ed by this
warranty, including:
•Incidental and consequential damages (storage
charges, telephone or rental charges of any type,
inconvenience or loss of time or income.)
1.3
• Damage caused by neglect, lack of maintenance, accident, abnormal operation, improper installation or
service.
• Haul-out, launch and towing charges.
•Transportation charges and/or travel time to and from a
repair facility.
•Travel time to customer’s home or marina.
• Service requested by customer other than that necessary to satisfy the warranty obligation.
•Oils, lubricants or fluids used in normal maintenance.
• Air freight, next-day or second-day air, or any special
delivery fees unless pre-approved.
• Gelcoat cracking, yellowing, crazing or blistering, plexiglas, canvas, vinyl or tape unless noted on
equipment check off list at time of delivery.
• Engines, drive trains, controls, props, batteries, or
other equipment or accessories carrying their own individual warranties.
• It is important to note that on many of the components
in our boats, i.e. stoves, refrigerators, generators, trim
tabs, etc., the warranties are extended by the component manufacturer. (Most component manufacturers
repair or replace the defective component if it is
returned to them.) The customer is responsible for all
travel time, freight, or postage costs. We will pay for
the cost to remove and replace the component.
• Engines, parts or accessories not installed by Glastron
Boats.
• Plexiglas windscreen breakage, rainwater leakage
through convertible tops, minor gelcoat discoloration,
cracks, crazing, or air voids.
•Windshield and canvas top leakage: A certain amount of
leakage can occur at the fasteners and at the stitching.
•Minor gelcoat discoloration or chalking may occur if
regular washing and waxing has been neglected.
Proper care of the gelcoat finish is the responsibility of
the owner.
•Hull blisters that form below the waterline: Osmosis
blistering is not covered by our limited warranty. The
phenomenon is most likely to occur in warm, fresh
water. However, it can also occur in saltwater. Any boat
left in the water for any period of time is susceptible.
Nearly all the marine bottom paint manufacturers today
offer coatings that help protect the hull against osmosis
blistering. We highly recommend that you add a
protective coating to your hull.
• Normal deterioration, i.e. wear, tear, or corrosion of
hardware, vinyl tops, vinyl and fabric upholstery, plastic, metal, wood, or trim tape.
• Hardware: Metal hardware that has rusted or pitted will
not be replaced under warranty. You should keep this
hardware clean and wiped down with a light oil
(WD40).
•Vinyl tops: Glastron does not warrant damage that
might occur when a boat is being towed on a trailer
with the top up, and does not warrant shrinkage,
mildew, or other normal deterioration.
• Any boat used for commercial purposes: This includes
boats used for charter purposes or time-share.
1.4
•Any defect caused by failure of the customer to provide
reasonable care and maintenance.
By signing the warranty registration card you, the new
owner, indicate an understanding of the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty. The warranty registration
card should be properly completed by the dealer, signed
by the new owner, and returned to us within fifteen (15)
days after the original purchase in order to validate the
warranty. Be sure to keep the Owner’s Registration Card
for your records.
All boat manufacturers are required by The Federal Boat
Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time owners in the event
any defect is discovered “which creates a substantial risk
of personal injury to the public.” In order for us to comply
with that law, if it becomes necessary, it is essential that
your warranty registration card with the owner’s name,
address, and boat serial number be completed and mailed
to Glastron Boats, 700 W. River Road, Little Falls, MN
56345.
The limited warranty for your boat is transferable and can
be extended to the next purchaser for the remainder of the
warranty period by notifying Glastron Boats in writing within
15 days of the transfer, by using the warranty registration
transfer form found at the end of this manual. The transfer
request must be accompanied by a copy of the title/registration and the $250.00 transfer fee.
BOATING SAFETY
Your owner’s manual uses five levels of advisory and hazard statements to alert you to special information,
operating procedures or safety precautions. All statements
begin with a signal word to identify the importance of the
statement. Statement levels follow this order (increasing
importance):
Advisory Statements
Advisory statements forewarn conditions that effect equipment operation, maintenance and servicing practices and
occur in two levels:
Level 1 - NOTE
Signals a general advisory statement that clarifies or
highlights a particular section of text.
Level 2 - IMPORTANT
Used to signal the possibility of damage to equipment
or associated components.
Hazard Statements
This symbol means “pay attention!” Here is important information for your safety. If you don’t follow
these instructions, you can damage your boat, hurt
yourself or someone else or, even worse, have a
fatal accident.
The use of hazard statements is determined by the likely
consequence of the warning with regard to severity (minor
injury, severe injury, death), and the probability of severity
(COULD result in, WILL result in).

Level 3 - Caution
Level 4 - Warning
Level 5 - Danger
Recommendations
Boating safety and the safety of your passengers is YOUR
responsibility. You should fully understand and become
familiar with the following safety precautions before
launching your Glastron boat.
1. Your boat and equipment should be kept in safe operating condition. Regularly inspect the hull, engine,
safety equipment and all other boating gear.
2. Use extreme CAUTION while fueling your boat.
Become familiar with the capacity of your boat’s fuel
tank and fuel consumption for commonly used RPMs.
Avoid fueling at night except under well-lit conditions.
Gas spills are hard to see in the dark.
3. Keep enough fuel on board for your planned cruising
requirements as well as for changes in your plans due
to adverse weather or other situations. We recommend
the 1/3 rule: use 1/3 of your fuel to reach your destination, use 1/3 to return, and keep 1/3 in reserve.
4. All regulation lifesaving and fire extinguishing equipment onboard, must be eye-catching, unrestricted and
in safe operating condition. All passengers should
become familiar with the operation and location of all
equipment.
5. Keep an eye on the weather. Be aware of possible
changing conditions by monitoring local weather broadcasts prior to departure. Strong winds and electrical
storms should be personally monitored .
6. Accurate up to date charts of your boating area should
always be onboard.
7. Before departure file your Cruise Log with a responsible person ashore.
1.6
CAUTION: This symbol and signal word indicate a
potentially hazardous situation. If you ignore this safety
message, property damage or minor or moderate personal injury MAY or CAN result.
WARNING: This symbol and signal word indicate a
potential hazard. If you ignore this safety message,
serious injury or death CAN result.
DANGER: This symbol and signal word indicate an
immediate hazard. If you ignore this safety message,
serious personal injury or death WILL result.
WARNING: Each time you fill up, inspect fuel lines for
leaks and hose deterioration, and be sure the engine
compartment is free of gasoline vapors. Leaking fuel is
a fire and explosion hazard and can cause severe
injury or death. The use of alcohol modified fuels can
cause deterioration of the fuel system.
8. Always operate your boat with consideration, courtesy
and common sense.
9. At least one other passenger aboard should be indoctrinated on the basic operating procedures for handling
your boat, in the event you unexpectedly become
unable to do so.
10. Never allow passengers to ride on areas of your boat
other than designated seating areas.
11.All passengers should remain seated while the boat is
moving.
12. Never use the swim platform or boarding ladder while
the engine is running. Be aware of the location of the
drive units or propellers before entering the water from
the swim platform ladder.
13. Study and obey the Rules of the Road. Always maintain complete control of your boat.
14. Never overload or improperly load your boat.
NOTE: The presence of the boat’s maximum weight capacity plate does not override your responsibility to use common
sense or rational judgment. The capacity of your boat is
reduced by turbulent water and other adverse weather conditions. You should have prior knowledge of existing water
and weather conditions before getting underway.
Water Sports
Advancements in technology have created new and
improved products for water sports enthusiasts. Water skiing, kneeboarding and riding on popular inflatable towed
apparatus requires an increased safety awareness in the
operation of your boat. if you are going to swim near your
boat, first turn off the boat’s engine and anchor the boat.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal
flotation device.
2. Have an aft-facing observer aboard to inform driver of
what is taking place behind the boat.
3. Never participate in these water sports near beaches
or in restricted areas.
4. Stay out of channels and other heavily traveled waterways.
5. Swim only in areas designated as safe for swimming.
These are usually marked with a swim area buoy
(Figure 1.1). Do not swim alone or at night.
1.7
WARNING: Glastron boats are not designed and
should not be used for the pulling of Para-sails, kites,
gliders, or any other device that is designed to become
airborne when drawn behind a boat.

6. Do not allow anyone near the propeller(s), even when
the engine is off. Propeller blades can be sharp and can
continue to turn even after the engine if off. Stay at least
150 feet away from areas marked by a diver down float
(Figure 1.2).
Water Skiing
Water skiing presents a special set of precautions to
observe in recreational boating. The following precautions
will reduce the hazards while water skiing.
1. Water ski only in safe areas, away from other boats
and swimmers, out of channels and in water free of
underwater obstructions. Be considerate of others you
share the water with.
2. Only individuals that are capable swimmers should be
allowed to water ski.
3. Be sure the skier is wearing a PFD (personal flotation
device). A properly designed ski vest is intended to
keep a stunned or unconscious person afloat.
4. Always carry a second person on board to observe the
skier so the driver can give full attention to the operation of the boat and waters ahead.
5. Approach a skier in the water from the lee side (opposite to that from which the wind blows), and be certain
to stop your motor before coming in close proximity to
the skier.
6. Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. He or she is
vulnerable in the water alone and is difficult to see by
other boaters. Be careful not to swamp the boat while
taking a skier aboard.
7. Do not water ski between sunset and sunrise. It is illegal in most states.
8. Always attach the water ski rope to the ski pylon. Do
not use the ski pylon to tow your boat or other boats.
Figure 1.3 identifies a set of hand signals recommended
by the American Water Ski Association (AWSA). Skier,
observer and boat operator should all know and understand these seven (7) simple signals from the skier. The
observer must inform the driver of the skier’s hand signals.
The driver must give full attention to operating the boat
and the waters ahead.
For more information about water skiing, Please contact
the American Water Ski Association, 799 Overlook Drive,
Winter Haven, Florida 33884 (1-800-533-2972).
1.8
FIGURE 1.2 DIVER DOWN FLOAT
WARNING: Switch engine off before taking skiers
aboard from in the water. Do not leave engine running
in neutral; if the shift is accidentally engaged the skier
could be seriously injured by the propeller.
Drugs and Alcohol
In the best interest of safety, you SHOULD refrain from the
use of Drugs and/or Alcohol while operating your boat.
Operation of motorized vessels while under the influence
carries a significant penalty. The use of Drugs and/or
Alcohol will decrease reaction time, impede judgement,
impair vision, and inhibit your ability to safely operate a boat.
Safe Boating Courses
Your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power
Squadrons offer comprehensive safe boating classes several times a year. You may contact the Boat/U.S.
Foundation at 1-800-336-BOAT (2628), or in Virginia
1-800-245-BOAT (2628) for a course schedule in your
area. Also contact your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or
Power Squadron Flotilla for the time and place of their next
scheduled class.
Rules of the Road
Your Glastron boat is subject to U.S. Coast Guardenforced marine traffic laws known as “Rules of the
Road.” There are two sets of rules — the United States
Inland Navigational Rules and the International Rules. The
United States Inland Rules are applicable to all vessels
inside the demarcation lines separating inland and international waters. The “Rules of the Road” can be obtained
from your local U.S. Coast Guard Unit or the United States
1.9
1. Thumb Up: Speed up the boat.
2. Thumb Down: Slow down the boat.
3. Cut Motor/Stop: Immediately stop boat. Slashing motion over neck (also used by driver or observer).
4. Turn: Turn the boat (also used by driver). Circle motion—arms overhead. Then point in desired direction.
5. Return to Dock: Pat on the head.
6. OK: Speed and boat path OK. Or, signals understood.
7. I'm OK: Skier OK after falling.

FIGURE 1.3 – AWSA WATER SKIING HAND SIGNALS
Coast Guard Headquarters (1300 E. Street NW,
Washington, D.C. 20226) in the publication titled,
“Navigational Rules, International-Inland.”
“Aids to Navigation” (U.S. Coast Guard pamphlet #123)
explains the significance of various lights and buoys. This
and other pamphlets, including the “Boating Safety
Training Manual,” and “Federal Requirements For
Recreational Boats” are also available from the U.S.
Coast Guard Headquarters.
Because of proposed alterations in buoys and markers,
Glastron Boats advises you to contact the U.S. Coast
Guard to stay informed of impending changes. If you have
a ship-to-shore radio telephone onboard, heed storm
warnings and answer any distress calls. The spoken word
“MAYDAY” is the international signal of distress. “MAY-
DAY” should NEVER be used unless there is present
danger, an emergency, and you are in need of immediate assistance.
SAFETY UNDERWAY
General Rules of Seamanship
1. Cross waves at right angles.
2. When caught in heavy water or squalls, head your boat
either directly into the waves or at a slight angle.
Reduce your speed, but maintain enough power to
maneuver your boat safely.
3. Keep your speed under control. Respect the rights of
boats engaged in fishing, swimming, water skiing, or
diving.
4. When meeting a boat head–on, keep to the right.
5. When two boats cross, the boat to the right or starboard has the right of way.
6. When overtaking or passing, the boat being passed
has the right of way.
Additional Underway Information
•Always be aware of local laws on noise limits. Noise
means engine noise, radio noise or even yelling by the
people on your boat. Good seamanship demands that
you operate your boat quietly so as not to infringe on
the rights of others. Don’t use thru-transom exhaust
unless you are well off shore.
•You are responsible for any damage or injury caused
by your boat’s wake. Observe no wake speed zone
warnings. Operate you boat with regard for the safety
of other boats and people in your boating area.
• Keep your engine will tuned to decrease exhaust
hydrocarbon emissions that pollute the air and water.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide accumulation is affected by vessel
geometry; hatch, window and door openings; ventilation
openings; proximity to other structures; wind direction; vessel speed; and a multitude of other variables.
1.10
WARNING: Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or
fatal if inhaled. Brain damage or death can occur if
exposed to carbon monoxide. Keep exhaust outlets
clear of blockage. Provide adequate ventilation. Open
hatches, doors, windows and vents to insure adequate
ventilation. Close engine compartment doors and
hatches when engine or generator is running. Avoid
operating the boat for extended periods of time at idle
speed and be sensitive to weather conditions that may
prevent CO from dissipating into the air.
1.11
NOTE: Boats fueled by diesel have limited carbon monoxide present in the exhaust in comparison to gasoline
engine exhaust. However, the boat owner should still be
aware of the causes and effect of carbon monoxide which
may occur in different boating situations.
PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF
CARBON MONOXIDE
1. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless
gas that is a natural by-product of internal combustion.
It is commonly referred to as CO.
2. CO weighs about the same as air so it does not rise or
fall like some other gases, but will distribute itself
throughout the space.
HOW A PERSON IS AFFECTED BY CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide is absorbed by the lungs and reacts with
blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which
reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. The
result is a lack of oxygen for the tissues with the subsequent
tissue death and, if prolonged, death of the individual.
EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide in high concentrations can be fatal in a
matter of minutes. Lower concentrations must not be
ignored because the effects of exposure to CO are cumulative and can be just as lethal over time.
SYMPTOMS
Initial reactions to CO poisoning can easily be mistaken for
sea sickness. One or more of the following symptoms can
signal the adverse effect of CO accumulation:
1. Watering and itchy eyes
2. Flushed appearance
3. Throbbing temples
4. Inattentiveness
5. Inability to think coherently
6. Ringing in the ears
7. Tightness across the chest
8. Headache
9. Drowsiness
10. Incoherence
11. Nausea
12. Dizziness
13. Fatigue
14. Vomiting
15. Collapse
16. Convulsions
NOTE: The order of the above list is generally the
sequence of appearance of symptoms. However, the order
of appearance may change for different people.
TREATMENT (Evacuate, Ventilate, Investigate, Take
Corrective Action)
If you suspect CO poisoning, immediately take the following steps:
1. Move the person to fresh air.
2. Administer oxygen if available.
3. Contact Medical help.
4. If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration per approved CPR procedures until medical help
arrives and takes over.
5. Ventilate area.
6. Investigate source of CO and take corrective action.
Prompt action can make the difference between life
and death.
INSPECTION
Look and listen for leaks in the exhaust systems of both
the generator and propulsion engine(s). Look for discoloration around joints in the system (water leaks, carbon,
stains, etc.)
1. Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and
secured.
2. Make sure ventilation systems work and are not
obstructed or restricted.
3. Make sure gaps around the engine room plumbing and
cableways and exhaust system doors, hatches, and
access panels are minimized to reduce the opportunity
for CO to enter the accommodation space(s).
OPERATION
Cold Start vs. Warm Start: CO production is greater while
the combustion chamber surfaces and gas passages are
cold versus when they are warm. A boat operator should:
1. Pay attention to ventilating the boat.
2. Orient the boat so it will allow the maximum dissipation
of CO.
3. Minimize the time spend on getting underway.
The following examples describe possible situations where
carbon monoxide can accumulate within your boat while
docked, anchored, or underway. Become familiar with
these examples and their precautions to prevent dangerous accidents or death.
AT ANCHOR
Engines and generators running or while the boat is
anchored exhaust carbon monoxide that can accumulate
near the hull of the boat. Do not stand or swim near
exhaust output or outdrive when engine is idling or generator is running. Dangerous concentrations of CO can
accumulate when a boat, generator or other engine operated device is operated while the boat is moored in a
confined area such as:
1. Boathouses,
2. Proximity to sea walls, or
3. Proximity to other boats.
Orient the boat for maximum dissipation of the exhaust or
DO NOT run the boat or boat equipment for extended periods under these conditions. (See Figure 1.4.)
Carbon monoxide is emitted from any boat‘s exhaust. The
operation, mooring, and anchoring in an area containing

other boats may be in an atmosphere containing CO not of
the operator’s making. An operator likewise needs to be
aware of the effect of his actions on other boats. Of prime
concern is the operation of an auxiliary generator with
boats moored along side each other. Be aware of the
effect your exhaust may have on other vessels and be
aware that the operation of other vessel’s equipment may
affect the carbon monoxide concentration on your vessel.
(See Figure 1.5.)
BACKDRAFTING (Station Wagon Effect)
Backdrafting or the “station wagon effect” is caused by air
movement over or around a boat creating a low pressure
area of suction area around the stern which can increase
CO level on the boat. Backdrafting can be affected by relative wind direction, boat speed, and boat trim angle.
(See Figure 1.6.)
Under certain speed and operating conditions the low
pressure area may form in other regions and permit carbon monoxide to enter the hull through openings that are
not on the back of the vessel. Boat factors which may
affect CO concentration:
1. Inefficient trim angle. (See Figure 1.7.)
2. Excessive or unequally distributed weight.
3. Canvas configurations - under various conditions,
adding or removing canvas may raise or lower CO levels. (See Figures 1.6, 1.7, 1.9.)
4 Opening and closing ports, hatches, doors, and win-
dows may raise or lower CO levels on board a boat.
(See Figures 1.8 and 1.9.)
1.13
FIGURE 1.5 THE EFFECT OF BOATS MOORED
ALONG SIDE
FIGURE 1.6 BACKDRAFTING - AIR FLOWS OVER
BOAT AND BEHIND TRANSOM
FIGURE 1.7 INEFFICIENT TRIM ANGLES
WARNING: Hull exhaust from your boat can cause
excessive accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas within cockpit areas when using protective
weather coverings (while underway or while stationary). Provide adequate ventilation when the canvas
top, side curtains and/or back (aft) curtains are in their
closed protective positions.
VENTILATION OF ACCOMMODATION SPACES
Accommodation spaces need to be ventilated to introduce
fresh air into the spaces. Ventilation method; e.g. windows,
hatches, doors, and blowers; used to accomplish this may,
under certain conditions, bring hazardous levels of CO into
the accommodation spaces. Care should be taken to be
aware of all prevailing conditions when using these ventilating methods.
PORTABLE GENERATOR SETS
Gasoline powered portable generators are available in the
marine market place and are not an option available
through Glastron. Portable generators will produce CO.
These sets discharge their exhaust products in locations
which can lead to an increase in the accumulation of car-
bon monoxide in the accommodation space. This equipment is not recommended for use on Glastron boats.
MAINTENANCE - ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Efficient engine performance is vital to minimizing CO production. The following items are those considered to have
the greatest effect on increased CO production:
1. Fuel systems - fuel that is contaminated, stale or incorrect octane number.
2. Carburetors/Injectors
•Dirty or clogged flame arrester.
•Malfunctioning automatic choke plate or faulty
adjustment of manual choke plate.
•Worn float needle valve and seat.
•High float level.
•Incorrect idle mixture adjustment.
•Dirty or worn injectors.
3. Ignition System
• Fouled or worn spark plugs.
•Worn points or incorrect gap on points.
• Shorted or opened circuit high tension spark plug
cables.
•Incorrect ignition timing.
4. General
•Worn piston rings and valves.
• Engine temperature - cold running engines
increase CO production. Engine cooling water system design and selection of thermostat(s) are
primary considerations affecting engine operating
temperature. Generally, an engine produces less
CO if it operates at a relatively high temperature
within manufacturer’s specifications.
•Exhaust Back-Pressure - certain alterations to the
exhaust system may increase engine exhaust back
pressure and CO production.

THE BOAT
• Restricted engine room or compartment ventilation.
CO Detectors
Even with the best boat design and construction, together
with the utmost care in inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous levels of CO may still be present in
accommodation spaces under certain conditions.
Continuing observation of passengers for symptoms of CO
intoxication can be supplemented by a marine grade alarm
type CO detector installed in the accommodation space.
Never disarm a CO detector. If a CO detector alarms,
immediately ventilate the area and check passengers for
symptoms of CO intoxication. See your Glastron dealer for
assistance in diagnosing the cause of the alarm.
Navigational Aids Chart
The illustrated Navigational Aid Chart contains information
concerning whistle signals, storm warnings, bridge signals,
and buoy description and information.
Running Aground
If your boat runs aground, check persons aboard for injury
and inspect damages to the boat or propeller(s). If possible, shift weight of passengers or gear to heel boat while
reversing engine.
Collision
If a serious collision occurs you should first check the condition of all passengers aboard, then inspect your boat to
determine the extent of damage.
1. Prepare to assist the other craft unless your passengers and/or boat is in danger.
2. If the bow of the other boat penetrated your boat’s hull, prepare to block the opening once the boats are separated.
3. Shore up the hole with a spare PFD or bunk cushion
from your boat.
4. While blocking the hole, trim weight of the boat (where
hole exists) so that it is out of the water during repairs.
5. If the extent of damage places your boat in a possible
sinking condition have all persons aboard put on their
PFD (personal flotation devices).
6. If your boat has a ship-to-shore radio, contact (VHF
channel 16 or CB Channel 22) the U.S. Coast Guard or
other rescue authorities immediately.
Fire
A fire onboard your boat is a serious emergency, you must
work quickly to implement safety procedures. If a fire
occurs, immediately stop the engine.
1.15
WARNING: CO detectors should be marine grade
and professionally installed and calibrated. Failure to
do so may result in improper functioning and false
reading.
WARNING: Do Not use deck hardware for towing.
Glastron Boats recommends that you use a commercial towing service if your boat becomes grounded.

1. Prompt all persons aboard to put on their PFD (personal flotation device).
2. If the fire is small, attempt to put it out with your fire
extinguisher. If the fire is in the engine compartment,
turn off the bilge blower. Do Not open the engine compartment. This feeds oxygen to the fire and flashback
could occur.
3. If the fire gets out of control, execute a distress signal,
and call for help if equipped with a ship-to-shore radio.
4. All persons aboard should jump overboard and swim a
safe distance away from the flames.
Guidelines for Fire Prevention
• Check the bilge for fuel leaks
• Check cleaning products for flammability
•Ventilate when cleaning or painting
• Disconnect electrical system from power source when
performing any type of maintenance
• Use extra caution when using exposed flame around
urethane foam
• Extinguish smoking materials carefully
•Ensure ventilation systems are not obstructed
• Use only approved marine cooking and heating systems
• Open flames demand constant attention
• Keep flammable materials in approved containers
• Replace circuit breaker fuse with one of the same amperage
• Electrical appliances must be within rated amperage of
boat circuits
•A qualified marine electrician should service the electrical
system
IMPORTANT: All persons aboard should know the location and proper operation of the fire extinguishers.
WEATHER
Storms rarely appear without considerable advance notice.
Accurate weather information from meteorological observation and reporting stations is available. Weather bureaus
are known to have failures in their predictions or information gathering equipment. There is no substitute for a
strong understanding of what action to take when the
weather takes a turn for the worst. Many cruiser clubs fly
weather signals. You should learn to recognize these signals, and monitor your local weather forecasts before
leaving port.
Storms
The present and forecasted weather conditions are of primary consideration, but a threat of possible storms should
always be a concern. Observance of the following information will help in your safety afloat if storms do occur:
• Keep a watch on the horizon for approaching storm
indicators.
•Turn radio ON. Dial in local weather station and monitor forecast.
•The best possible situation is to return to a safe port if
time allows.
1.17
• Close and secure all portals and hatches. Stow all
loose gear below deck and tie-down any gear required
to remain on deck.
• Reduce speed as the seas build. Prompt all persons
aboard to put on their PFD (personal flotation devices).
•Place a sea anchor out over the stern to maintain the
boat’s bow into the seas. If there is no sea anchor
onboard use a canvas bucket or any object that will
offer resistance against the flow of the current.
• Radar reflectors (if installed on your boat) should be 18
inches diagonally and placed 12 feet above waterline.
Fog
Fog is a result of either warm-surface or cold-surface conditions. You can judge the likelihood of fog formation by
periodically measuring the air temperature and dew point
temperature. If the spread (difference) between these two
temperatures is small you likely will incur a fog situation.
Remember the following guidelines:
•As fog sets in, turn on navigation lights, take bearings
and mark your position on the chart while continuing to
log your course and speed.
•Prompt all persons aboard to put on their PFD (personal flotation devices).
• If equipped with sounding equipment, you should take
soundings and match them with soundings on your charts.
•Station a person forward on the boat as a lookout.
• Reduce your speed. From time to time stop engine and
listen for other fog signals.
• Sound the horn or fog bell intermittently to warn other
boaters.
• If there is any doubt in continuing boat movement,
anchor. Listen for other fog signals while continuing to
sound the fog horn or bell.
MAN OVERBOARD
Should someone in the boat fall overboard:
•Act quickly–treat every situation as an emergency
• Move throttle to idle position and yell “Man Overboard”
•Immediately throw a Type IV PFD to the person in the
water
• Have someone in the boat assume responsibility for
watching the person in the water and keep them in
sight while the boat maneuvers back to them
• Approach the person into the wind and waves. When
alongside, put the engine in neutral and throw them a
Type IV PFD with a line attached or extend an oar or
boat hook.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)
United States Coast Guard approved wearable personal
flotation devices of Type I, II, or III must be onboard your
Glastron Boat. The PFDs must be of a suitable size for
each person aboard and shall be in serviceable condition
and readily accessible.
1.18
PFD TYPE I, WEARABLE
This PFD has the greatest required buoyancy. It’s design
allows for turning most unconscious persons in the water
from face down position to a vertical or
slightly backward position. Type I is most
effective for all waters,
especially offshore
when rescue may be
delayed.
PFD TYPE II, WEARABLE
Type II turns its wearer
the same as Type I,
but the turning action
is not as pronounced
as the Type I. The
Type II will not turn as
many persons under
the same conditions as
a Type I.
PFD TYPE III, WEARABLE
Type III allows the
wearers to place themselves in a vertical or
slightly backward position. Type III has the
same buoyancy as a
Type II PFD. It has little or no turning ability.
PFD TYPE IV, THROWABLE (ONE REQUIRED ON BOARD
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED PFDS)
The PFD Type IV
can be thrown to a
person in the
water, grasped and
held by the user
until rescued. The
design does not
allow for it to be
worn. The most
common Type IV
PFDs are a buoyant cushion or ring buoy. The throwable
Type IV PFD shall be immediately available for use, and in
serviceable condition.
1.19
Type I
Type II
WARNING: It is the owner’s responsibility to supply an
approved Coast Guard fire extinguisher and all other
required or recommended safety equipment. Consult
your Coast Guard, state and local regulations to insure
your boat has all required safety equipment onboard.
Additional equipment may be recommended for your
safety and that of your passengers. Make yourself
aware of its availability and use. Make sure that your
boat is operated by qualified drivers only.
Type III
Type IV
Fire Extinguishers
All Class 1 (16 to 26 feet) powerboats are required to carry
one (1) B-I type hand portable fire extinguisher, if not
equipped with a fixed fire extinguishing system in the
engine compartment.
All Class 2 (up to 39.4 feet) powerboats are required to
carry two (2) B-I type hand portable fire extinguisher, if not
equipped with a fixed fire extinguishing system in the
engine compartment. When equipped with a fixed fire
extinguishing system, only one (1) B-I type hand portable
fire extinguisher is required.
All hand portable fire extinguishers should be mounted in a
readily accessible location, and away from the engine
compartment. All persons aboard should know the location
and proper operation of the fire extinguisher(s).
If your fire extinguisher has a charge indicator gauge, cold
or hot weather may have an effect on the gauge reading.
Consult the instruction manual supplied with the fire extinguisher to determine the accuracy of the gauge.
Visual Distress Signal Devices
Visual Distress Signal devices are required and may be of
the pyrotechnic or non-pyrotechnic type. The regulation
requires all recreational boats when used on coastal
waters, which includes the Great Lakes, territorial seas
and those waters directly connected to the Great Lakes
and the territorial seas, up to a point where the waters are
less than two miles wide, and the boats owned in the
United States when operating on the high seas, to be
equipped with visual distress signal devices.
Pyrotechnic and non-pyrotechnic equipment must be U.S.
Coast Guard approved, in serviceable condition and
stowed in a readily accessible location. Equipment provid-
ing a date for serviceable life, must be within the specified
usage date as shown.
PYROTECHNIC EQUIPMENT
Pyrotechnic U.S. Coast Guard approved visual distress
signals and associated equipment include:
• Red flares, hand held or aerial
• Orange smoke, hand held or floating
• Launchers for aerial red meteors or parachute flares
NON-PYROTECHNIC EQUIPMENT
•Orange distress flag
• S.O.S. Electric distress light
No single signaling device is flawless under all conditions
for all purposes. Consideration should be given to possessing various types of equipment. Careful selection and
proper stowage of the equipment is very IMPORTANT if
young children are frequently aboard.
Sound Signaling Device
All Class 1 (16 to 26 feet) powerboats are required to carry
a hand, mouth or power operated horn or whistle. It must
produce a blast of two-second duration and audible at a
distance of at least one-half (1/2) mile.
All Class 2 (up to 39.4 feet) powerboats are required to
carry a hand, mouth or power operated horn or whistle. It
must produce a blast of two-second duration and audible
at a distance of at least one (1) mile.
Navigation Lights
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise are required
to display appropriate navigation lights. All Glastron models are equipped with USCG approved lighting.
1.20

BOATING LAWS & REGULATIONS
Boat Registration
Federal and state laws require that every boat equipped
with propulsion machinery of any type must be registered
in the main state of usage. Registration numbers and validation stickers must be displayed on the boat according to
regulations. The registration certificate must be carried
onboard when the boat is in use.
Discharge of Oil
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States or the waters of the contiguous
zone if such discharge causes a film or sheen upon or a
discoloration of the surface of the water or causes a
sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of the water.
Violators are subject to a penalty of $5,000.
Disposal of Plastics & Other Garbage
Plastic refuse dumped in the water can kill fish and marine
wildlife, and can foul vessel propellers and cooling water
intakes. Other forms of waterborne garbage can litter our
beaches and make people sick. U.S. Coast Guard regulations completely prohibit the dumping of plastic refuse or
other garbage mixed with plastic into the water anywhere,
and restrict the dumping of other forms of garbage within
specified distances from shore.
ILLEGAL TO DUMP
INSIDE 3 MILES
(and in U.S. Lakes, Rivers, Bays and Sounds)

The U.S. Coast Guard has issued these regulations to
implement Annex V of the International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, commonly
known as Annex V of the MARPOL (Marine Pollution)
Treaty 73/78. They apply to all U.S. vessels wherever they
operate (except waters under the exclusive jurisdiction of a
State), and foreign vessels operating in U.S. waters out to
and including the Exclusive Economic Zone (200 miles).
The regulations require U.S. recreational boaters, if your
boat is 26 feet or more in length, to affix one or more
USCG Trash Dumping Restrictions placards to your boat.
The placard warns against the discharge of plastic and
other forms of garbage within the navigable waters of the
United States, and specify discharge restrictions beyond
the territorial sea ( the territorial sea generally ends 3 nautical miles from the seashore). In addition, the placard
must contain the warning that a person who violates these
requirements is liable to civil ($25,000) and criminal
(imprisonment) penalties . The placard also must note that
State and local regulations may further restrict the disposal
of garbage.
Operators shall display one or more placards in a prominent location and in sufficient numbers, so they can be
observed and read by crew and passengers. These locations might include embarkation points, food service areas,
galleys, garbage handling spaces, and common deck
spaces frequented by crew and passengers. The placards
may be purchased from local marinas, boat dealerships,
and marine equipment suppliers.
IMPORTANT: It is illegal to discharge waste from your
marine sanitary device into the water in most areas. It is
your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to all local
laws concerning waste discharge. Consult with the coast
guard, local marina, or your Glastron dealer for additional
information.
