was built.
• Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safet y, and the safety of
other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this owner’s manual supplement, please read the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual and all accessory
instructio ns for important safety standards and hazard informat ion.

Engine & Accessories Guidelines
NOTICE
When storing your boat ple ase refer to your engine’s operation and mai ntenance manuals.
• Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.
• Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.
• Should you choose to install a different engine or to add accessories that will affect the boat’s running trim, have
an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Certain modifications to your boat can result in cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check with
your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.
Engine & Accessories Literature
• The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.
• Read and understand these manuals before using the engine and accessories.

Qualified Maintenance
WARNI NG!
!
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, al low only qualified personnel to perform
maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system, propul sion system, engi ne contr ol
system, fuel system, environmental control system, electrical sys tem or navigational system.
• Failure to maintain your boat’s systems (listed in the warning above) as designed could violate the laws in your
jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death.
• Follow the instructi ons pr ovide d in t he Sport Boat Owne r’s Manual, this Owner’s Manual Supple ment , the engine
owner’s manual and all accessory instruct ion sheets and manuals.
Special Care For Moored Boats
NOTICE
• T o help s eal the hul l bottom and reduc e the possi bility of gelcoat bl istering on moored bo ats,
apply an epoxy barrier coating . The barri er coating should be covered with sev eral coat s of
anti-fouling pain t.
• Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your l ocal deal er about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
• This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
DANGER!
!
• Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and
extremely dangerous.
• All engines, generators, and fuel b urning appliances produce CO
as exhaust.
• Prolonged exposure to lo w conce ntrat ions or very quick exposur e to high
concentrations will cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.
• Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving watercraft can be fatal.
Facts about CO
• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.
• Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
• CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your boat.
• CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.
• CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.
• CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.
• Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.
• The effects are cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
Factors That Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning
• Age
• Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke
• Consumption of alcohol
• Lung disorders
• Heart problems
• Pregnancy
4
Where and How CO Can Accumulate
Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!
A. Using engine, generator, or other fuel burn-
ing device when boat is moored in a confined space.
B. Mooring too close to another boat that is
using its engine, generator, or other fuel
burning device.
To correct stationary situations A and/or B:
• Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
• If possible, move your boat away from source of CO.
Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
C. Running boat with trim angle of bow too high. D. Running boat without through ventilation (sta-
tion wagon effect).
To correct running situations C and/or D:
• Trim bow down.
• Open windows and canvas.
• When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself and Ot hers From CO
• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat (see above).
• Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times.
• Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.
• Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or swim platform while the engine(s) are running.
• Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
• Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the boat, take
immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
• Treat sympt oms of se asick ness as possib le CO pois oning. Get the pe rson into f resh a ir immediat ely. Seek medical
attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
• Install and maintain CO a larms insi de your boa t. Do not igno re any ala rm. Replace ala rms as recommen ded by the
alarm manufacturer.
• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
• Get a Vessel Safety Check.

Trip Checklist
❏ Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your boat.
❏ Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.
❏ When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boat.
❏ Confirm that water flows from the exh aust outlet when the engines and generator are starte d.
❏ Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an exhaust component failure.
❏ Test the operation of each CO alarm by pressing the test button.
Monthly Checklist
❏ Make sure all exhaust cl amps are in place and secure.
❏ Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking, water
leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.
❏ Inspect rubber exhau st hoses for burned, crac ked, or deter iorated sections. All rubber hos es should be pl iable and
free of kinks.
Annual Checklis t
Have a Qualified Marine Technician:
❏ Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.
❏ Ensure that your engine s and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.
❏ Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling systems are
in working condition.
❏ Inspect all metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the
cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water inje ction elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple between the manifold and the elbow.
❏ Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).
Carbon Monoxide Alarm System (2400SC Only)
DANGER!
!
CARBON MONOXI DE POISON ING HAZARD !
• The house battery switch must be in the "ON" posit ion for the CO Monitors to work.
NOTICE
The stereo memory and CO monitor(s) place a smal l, bu t constant drai n on the battery. If your
boat will be unattended for an exte nded amount of time, plug into shor e power with the batte ry
charger turned on, or di sco nnect the bat te ry if shore power is not an option.
• Do not disconnect the alarm system.
• Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did not receive an instruc-
