Dear Hunter Owner

ongratulations and welcome to the Hunter family! As a Hunter owner, you will enjoy the quality and the

This Operator’s Manual will acquaint you with the proper operation and maintenance of your new Hunter

oat, as well as boating safety, which is our primary concern, whether in ports or at sea.

The new boat warranty registration form you signed at the time of delivery will be sent to us by your dealer. This registers the one year warranty and establishes your contact information in our system. It will also

ctivate Hunter's Customer Satisfaction program nd enjoyment with your new Hunter. Within a few weeks of delivery you will receive a letter asking you to

omplete an online questionnaire primarily about your experience with the dealer. Several months later you

will receive a second letter asking you to evaluate the boat. We value your opinion and hope that you will

ake the time to complete both surveys.

As you already know, we work with the highest quality equipment manufacturers to supply the components for your boat. T o receive full warranty coverage on all the individual components, such as engine, electronics

nd appliances, be sure to complete and return to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) warranty

ards to activate the individual warranties for these important components. You will find them in the owner's

acket that also contains the OEM manuals for this equipment. Please remember all the information con

ained in the OEM manuals supersedes the information contained in this manual

, our effort to insure the highest level of satisfaction

Finally, if you are new to boating, be certain to learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of

our passengers. Refer to Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling Manual for important

nd useful information concerning this aspect of boating. Attend a safe boating course offered by the United

States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting

afe boating courses

Thank you for choosing Hunter. I am confident your new boat will provide you and your family with years of

1.8 Manufacturers Certifications

As a boat manufacturer Hunter builds their products to

uidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act

f 1971. The act is promulgated by the U.S. Coast Guard who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manufacturers that sell products in the United States. Hunter

nsures that all of it's products comply with these laws.

NOTE: The OEM manuals take precedence over the Hunter Operator's Manual. If information in the Hunter Operator's Manual differs from that in the OEM manuals,

follow the information in the OEM manuals.

1.6 Warranties

Nearly all OEM equipment has its own limited warranties. Warranty registration cards are in your Operator’s

acket.

Locate and read the individual warranties; put them together for easy, future reference.

fter Sailing Checklis

hen leaving your Hunter at the dock for more than a short time, it is a good idea to review the following checklist to make sure

everything is in order. This will help protect the various parts of your boat and add considerably to their attractiveness and usable

___ Flake or furl mainsail and cover, or remove and bag. ___ Remove and stow all portable deck hardware such as snatch blocks, winch handles, etc

Secure the boom to the topping lifts and set it ﬁ rmly amidships with the main sheet purchase.

(It is also a good idea to rig a line from the steering wheel or tiller to a convenience cleat to keep the rudder from swinging

back and forth with the motion of the water or employ the wheel brake if so equipped.)

Attach the shackle ends of all halyards to convenient ﬁ ttings and take up slack. Find a location leading away from the mast

to keep the halyard from slapping the mast

___ Coil and stow all lines in line lockers

Cover the winches and steering pedestal when leaving the boat for several days or mor ___ Close all fuel lines and seacock ___ Switch off the electrical syste

Pump out the bil ___ Check air vents, secure ports and hatches, swab the deck, and clean deck stainless, particularly if you have operated in salt

water

.2.1 Carbon Monoxide Safet

This section is intended to provide educational informati ing. Carbon Monoxide accumulation is affected by boat

eometry, hatch, window, and door openings, ventilation

openin tude of other variables. This section discusses many of

th all conceivable variables. Therefore, the boat owner is

autioned not to exclusively rely on it to prevent the accu-

ombination of carbon and oxygen. Commonly referred to as CO, its chemical formula is C for carbon and O for oxygen. CO is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that, b

is produced any time a material containing carbon is

urned. In boating, these materials include, but are not limited to, gasoline, diesel fuel, or propane. All carbon based fuels produce varying amounts of CO, depending on their carbon content. Gasoline is high in carbon and, therefore, produces lower levels of CO. However, the exhaust of all engines and generators as well as any

en flame device, produce CO and the same precau-

tions should be taken regardless of the type of fuel.

.2.3 How Carbon Monoxide Can Enter Your Boa

Any device that burns fuel creates Carbon Monoxide. For

xample, a propane cook-top or a space heater are bot potential sources for CO. But the most serious danger

omes from the gasoline engines and generators aboard our own and neighboring boats. There are four basic

ways that CO from a running engine or generator can

.2.5 Effects of Carbon Monoxid

When inhaled, Carbon Monoxide is absorbed by the lungs and reacts with the blood hemoglobin to form

arbon hemoglobin, which reduces the oxygen carryin apacity of the blood. The result is a lack of oxygen

or the tissues, causing subsequent tissue death and, if prolonged, death of the individual. Carbon Monoxide in high concentrations can be fatal in a matter of minutes.

ven lower concentrations must not be ignored because the affects of exposure to CO are cumulative and can be just as lethal. Certain health related problems and age increases the effects of CO. People who smoke or are exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke,

onsume alcohol, or have lung or heart disorders are

particularly susceptible to an increase in the effects from

CO poisoning are easy to overlook because they are similar to the effects of other boating related stress such as eye strain, fatigue, sun exposure, seasickness, or alcohol consumption. But, as the concentration of CO in the air increases, it has increasingly adverse effects on

our health.

.2.6 When Overcome by Carbon Monoxid

When someone falls victim to Carbon Monoxide poisoning, fast and responsive action is crucial. Know the symptoms. The earlier the effects of CO are detected, the better the chances for recovery. The following list shows the sequences of events that must be done in an effort to revive a CO victim

ext, start each engine and generator one at a time. Follow the full run of the exhaust system, listening and looking for leaks. While doing this, make sure there is adequate ventilation and that your CO detector is on.

ther items to inspect are as follows: If your boat has access panels, check that the access panels around the engine and exhaust are in place and fit snugly to minimize the opportunity for CO to enter the cabin. There should be no large openings where CO could enter the

abin. Ensure that all ventilation systems are in good working order and are not blocked or punctured. Check all sink drains to assure that they have a good water trap to prevent CO from coming in from the outside.

na sive CO, make sure engines and generators are tuned up. They should run smoothly and not produce black smoke. The spark plugs (gas engines) and ignition systems should be maintained regularly, and the fuel system and air filters should be in good order.

.2.9 Carbon Monoxide Detector

If you carefully avoid potential CO accumulation and maintain your systems properly, you have made great strides towards protecting yourself and others from the dangers of Carbon Monoxide. We have assisted you in

our endeavor by providing CO detectors in each living area aboard your boat. We use only those CO detectors that are UL approved for marine use. RV and residential models won’t withstand the elements of the boating

nvironment. Most CO detectors require specific maintenance procedures to remain accurate and functional. Follow the man maintenance of the CO detectors.

.3 Other Dangers

.3.1 Weather

torms rarely appear without advanced notice. Check the weather forecast before you begin a day of boating. Be aware, however, that weather conditions can change rapidly. If you have a marine radio, listen to the weather reports issued by the U.S. Coast Guard and others. If you have a portable radio, keep it tuned to a station broad-

asting frequent weather reports. Many boating clubs fly weather signals. Learn to recognize these signals and listen to your local forecasts before leaving port

Your surroundings can also be a good indicator of changing weather conditions. Watch for changes in wind direction or cloud formations. There is no substitute for a understanding of weather conditions and what to do when the weather takes a turn for the worse.

intervals.

If there is any doubt about continuing your excursion, anchor. Listen for other fog signals while continuing to sound your fog horn

.3.4 Drugs and Alcoho

rugs and alcohol affect a person’s ability to make sound

ments and react quickly. As a responsible boater, you will refrain from using drugs or alcohol (singly or combined) while operating your boat. Operation of motorized vessels while under the influence carries a significant penalty. Drugs and alcohol decrease your reaction time, impair your judgment, and inhibit your ability to safely

perate your boat.

.3.5 Collision

If a serious collision occurs, first check the persons on board for injuries. Then inspect the boat to determine the

xtent of the damage.

.3.6 Running Aground

If your boat runs aground, check everyone for injur and inspect damage to the boat or propellers. If lightly

rounded, shift weight of passengers or gear to heel the boat while reversing engines. If towing becomes necessary, we recommend using a commercial towing service.

.3.7 Swamped or Capsized Boa

If your boat becomes swamped or capsized, put on a

FD immediately and set off a distress signal. Chances are good a capsized boat will stay afloat. For this reason, stay with the boat. Do not leave the boat or try to swim

ore except under extreme conditions. A capsized

to s boat is easier to see than a swimmer, and shore may be

urther away than it appears.

.3.8 Falling Overboard

ne of the most frightening emergencies that can occur aboard a boat is a crew member or yourself falling overboard. Although “man overboard” or “MOB” drills have been a part of boating safety for decades, they have been largely overlooked by many responsible boat owners.

ust as important as acquiring the knowledge to rescue a

person is the ability to help yourself if you are the person

verboard. Be sure and refer to your “Chapman Piloting”,

Seamanship and Boat Handling” manual supplied with

our new boat. It is packed with useful and essential safety and emergency procedures to ensure you have a safe and happy boating experience.

We have the utmost interest in your safety. Therefore, we have provided a means of re-boarding the boat should

ou or a crew member fall overboard. On the transom, we have added steps to aid you in re-boarding. If your boat is equipped with a swim platform, there is a ladder attached to the platform which extends into the water.

FUEL SAFETY CHECKLIST FOR BOARDIN

This fuel safety checklist is designed to be used as a quick reference to minimize the risks associated with fuel azards. You should refer to this checklist every time you board your boat. Read your owners manual so that you

have a full understanding of the fuel system on your boat.

Before approaching your boat, extinguish all smoking materials and make certain there are no other sources of

poss

Approach your boat alone to make the initial inspection. Have your guests and crew standby a safe distance away.

rom the dock, visually inspect your boat for any fuel leaks from the deck fills or hull vents and take notice if there

is any odor of fuel.

nce aboard, open the cabin door and sniff at the doorway then inside the cabin for fuel odor

pen the engine compartment hatch and sniff for fuel odor.

Inspect the engine compartment and all bilge compartments for fuel leaks and sniff for fuel odor.

If there are any signs of fuel leakage, either visually or by odor, open doors, hatches, and windows. Evacuate

the boat and inform the dock master. Have an authorized service technician inspect your boat

on near your boat.

no signs of fuel are present, board your guests and crew

Run exhaust blowers for five minutes before starting the engines or generator.

Always be aware of the hazards associated with fuel and practice good common sense

nter

• Fuel Systems

Your boat is equipped with a fuel tank. In the aft stater

The tank is filled through a fuel fill. If your boat has a metal or aluminum tank installed, then

the fuel tank should be inspected for signs of leaks, corrosion, and/or pitting at least once a year. Corrosion normally appears as a white, chalky, or flaky substance

n the surface of the tank. Sometimes, it also appears as pitting or small pockets of missing aluminum. Another indication of corrosion is bubbles on the paint that coats the tank. If any of these conditions are present, have an authorized service technician inspect the tank immediately. If a leak is found, turn off battery switches and dis-

onnect shore power (See Connecting & Disconnectin

hore Power, AC Electrical System), which explains the proper way to disconnect and disable any poss source of ignition). Contact your dealer or Customer

ervice immediately.

The fuel tank and fuel fill on your boat are electrically

rounded to the engine negative. (see the DC Electrical

5.1.3 Fuel Tank Fill & Ven

The fuel tank fill fitting is located on the stbd. side on the stern. The fuel tank also has a hull vent fitting. This fittin is also located on the port side near the fuel fill. You can see the fill in detail in Fig. 5.2, on page 5.3.

If any fuel fill or vent hose's are in need of replacement,

nsure that only U

ngine has a fuel supply hose that runs from the pickup tube in the fuel tank to the fuel water separator (commonly referred to as the fuel filter), then from the filter to the en runs from the engine back to the fuel tank. If your boat has a generator, the generator will have somewhat the same setup, with the supply and return hose. The fuel supply lines or hoses, fitting, and connections should be inspected often for leaks and signs of wear, dry rot, chafing, or swelling. A good way to inspect the fuel hoses is to run your hand along the length of the hose including the fittings. Leaks will be revealed as wet spots on your hand.

The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure / vacuum release and a safety overflow. The vent is a thru hull fittin with a flame arrestor, so it is imperative that you keep the screens clear and in excellent repair. Replace the screen immediately if it becomes damaged or displaced.

eriodically check the vent to see that it is not clogged.

5.4 Filters (Fuel Water Separators

The fuel supplied to the engines or the generator (if so

quipped) may contact impurities found in the fuel tanks r in the fuel from your supplier. If these impurities are

not removed prior to starting the engine or generator, per-

ormance may be seriously affected. Removal of the fuel

impurities is accomplished by external fuel filters.

5.3 Fuel Valves

Your supply line route. These valves are used to start or stop the flow of fuel through the supply lines.

Note: Even if the fuel supply valves are closed, there may be fuel in the supply lines to the filters and engines (or generator). Disconnecting these fittings without properly bleeding the system of fuel could result in emptying the fuel filters and causing a fuel spill. Only a qualified technician should ever make repairs to your fuel system.

6.1.1 Propeller

e propeller supplied with your boat has been select-

d as the best propeller for average use. Propellers use “pitch” or the angle of the blades to determine the amount of power exerted from your engines. Do not change the pitch of your propellers without getting your dealers recommendations first. If you change to a different propeller pitch, under no circumstances use a propeller which allows the engine to operate

at a higher than recommended RPM. Your engine manual will specify the maximum recommended RPM.

To maintain rated power, propellers should be nicks, excessive pitting and any distortions that alter them

rom their original design. Badly damaged propellers should be replaced, but those that are chipped, bent or merely out of shape can be reconditioned by your marine

ler.

onsider keeping an extra propeller on your boat. If the propeller becomes damaged, you can replace it with the spare and continue your outing. Check with your dealer if you want to purchase one

6.1.2 Propeller Shaf

The propeller shaft is made of Aquamet 19 or equivalent

tainl and very high strength. The coupling at one end of the shaft is bolted to the transmission. The other end of the shaft i tapered, threaded, and keyed for installation of the propeller. The propeller shaft passes through the hull encased in the shaft log. Then, on the underside of the hull, is attached a strut, which holds the propeller shaft in position.

6.1.3 Alignmen

Aligning the engine with the propeller shaft is critical for smooth operation of your boat. Shaft alignment may

hange slightly after your boat is in use. Your dealer should check alignment as part of commissioning, particularly if there is vibration, a drumming sound, or loss

RPM’s.

Below is an illustration showing the steps for alignment, however we recommend this practice be performed by

ompetent professionals.
