Boating Experience

WARNING!

!

CONTROL HAZARD! A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all times. DO NOT
operate your boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and
safety, obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat.

Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For
more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:

• U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-3 67-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org

• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368- 5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org

Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federati on or loc al boat club can advise you of local
sea school s or co m p etent instructor s.

Safety Standards

!

PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! DO NOT allow anyone to ride on parts of the
boat not designated for such use. Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward
deck, bow riding, gunwale riding or oc cupying the transom platform while
underway is especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.

!

PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! ALWAYS secure the anchor and other loose obje cts before get­ting underway. The anchor and other it ems that are not properl y secured can c ome loose when
the boat is moving and cause pe rsonal injury or death.

Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it was
built. Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety
of other people, vessels and property.

In addition to this owner’s manual suppl ement , please read the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’ s Manual and all acces-
sory instructions for important safety standards and haza rd information.

Engine & Accessories Guidelines

NOTICE

When storing your boat please refer to your engine’s operation and maintenance ma nuals.

Your boat’s engines and accessories w ere selected to provide optimum pe rformance and ser vice. Installing dif fere nt
engines or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics. Should you choose to install different
engines or to add accessories that will affect the boat’s running tri m, have a n expe ri enced marine technician perf orm
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.

The engines and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals. Read
and understand these manuals before using the engines and accessories.

CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD! 3

Qualified Maintenance

WARNING!

!

To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, allow only qu al ified personnel to perform
maintenance on, or in any way modify: The stee ring syst em, propulsion system, engine co ntrol
system, fuel system, environmental cont rol system, electrical system or navigational system.

Failure to maint ai n you r boat’s systems (listed in the warning above) as designed c ould violate the laws in yo ur j ur is­diction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental dea th. Follow the instruc­tions provided in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual, this Owner’s Manual Supplement, the e ngine owner’s manual
and all accessory instruction sheets and manuals included in your boat’s owner’s packet.

Structural Limitations

The transom platform and bow platform are designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance. The load limit for
these platforms is 30 pounds per square foot, evenly distributed.

Special Care For Moored Boats

NOTICE

• To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the poss ibility of gelcoat blistering on moore d boats,
apply an epoxy barrier co ating, such a s INTERLUX, Interp rotect 200 0E/2001E. The barrier
coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.

• Many states regulate the chemical cont ent o f bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local deale r 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 i ts hull bottom. This wi ll detract
from the boat’s beauty, greatly af fect it s perfor mance and may damage the gelcoat . There are two methods of s lowing
marine growth:

• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.

• The hull below the waterline may have anti-fouling paint applied by the factory. Occasionally you will need to re­paint it with a good grad e of anti -fouling paint.

Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)

NOTICE

Do not paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do not paint over the zincs .

Your boat is equipped with sacrifici al anodes (zincs) to protect underwat er me tal parts from excessive deter io ration.
Check the zincs regularly and repl ace them if they have deteriorat ed mo re than 70%.

There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zincs deteriorate, including:

• Water temper ature

• Salinity

• Water pollution

Stray elect rical current from the boat or dock may caus e complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is rapid
zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your boat with a Corrosion Test Meter. If the zincs are
not bonded correctly, they will not provide protection.

4 CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD!

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

!

CARBON MONOX IDE POIS ONING HAZARD!

DA N GE R!

DANGER

Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is col orle ss, odorless, and extremely dangerous. All
engines, generators, and fuel bur ning appliance s produce CO as e xhaust. Dir ect and
prolonged exposure to CO will caus e BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.

Signs of CO poisoning include:

• Headache

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Drowsiness

• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.

• Called the "silent killer" , CO is an ext remely toxic, colorless, odor less and tasteless gas.

• Breathing CO blocks the abi lity of your blood to car ry oxygen.

• The effects are cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.

Factors increasing the effects of CO poisoning include:

• Age

• Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke

• Consumption of alcohol

• Lung disorders

• Heart problems

• Pregnancy

Sources of CO

Sources of CO include:

CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD! 5

a. Using engine s or genera-

tor when boat is moored
in a confined space.

b. Mooring close to

another boat that
is using its engin e,
generator or any
other CO source.

c. Running boa t with

trim angle of bow
too high.

d. Running boat without

through ventilation
(station wagon effect).

To correct stationary situations (a) and/or (b):

• Close all windows, portlights and hatches.

• If possible, move your boa t aw ay from the source of CO.

To correct running situations (c) and/or (d):

• Trim bow down.

• Open windows and canvas.

• When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds will help dissipate exhaust.

Immediately take corrective action if CO is detected or suspected (see, Carbon Monoxide Alarm System, below).

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Syst em

Your boat feat ures a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm system. Do not
disconnect the alarm system. Read and understand the manufacturer’s

instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did no t r eceive an instruc-

MARINE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM - MODEL 60-541

(REPLACE AFTER TEN YEARS OF USE)

tion manual, call [phone] and one will be mailed to you. If your
boat is not equipp ed with a carbon monoxide alarm, consider purchas­ing one from your dealer or marine supply store.

What To Do If Carbon Monoxide Is Detected

• Immediately ventilate and evacuate any enclosed spaces that are
occupied by people and reset your CO alarm.

• Immediately move anyone showing any symptoms of CO poisoning
into fresh air. See a doctor if any symptoms persist. If the person is
unconscious, immediately administer oxygen or CPR and call for
emergency help.
