Boating Experience
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, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat.
We strongly recommend that you take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the

Engines/Accessories Guidelines
Your boat’s engines and a ccessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service. Installing different
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 trim, have an expe ri enc ed mar ine technician perform
a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Please be advised that 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. We
strongly urge you to read and understand these manuals before operating the engines and accessories.
Qualified Ma intenance
Failure to maintain your boat’s systems 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. We recommend that you follow the instructions
provided in the owner’s manual this owner's manual supplement, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory
instruction sheets/manuals included in your boat’s owner’s packet.

Special Care For Moored Boats
If moored in saltwater or fresh water, 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. There are two methods of slowing
marine growth:
• Periodically haul t he bo at out of the water a nd scr ub the hu ll bot tom wi th a br istl e brus h and a s olu tion of soap a nd
water.
• The hull below the waterline was painte d with anti-f oulin g paint by t he fact ory. Occasiona lly you wil l need to
re-paint it with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
NOTICE
• To help seal the hull botto m and reduce the possibi lity of gelcoa t bliste ring on moored boats,
we recommend the application of an epoxy barr ier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be c overed with several coats of anti -f ouli ng pai nt.
• Many states regulate the che mical cont ent of bot tom paint s i n order to meet envi ronmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your ar ea.

Yacht Lifting
• When lifting your yacht, always fol-
low the owner’s manual recommendations as well as the lift equipment’s
requirements and safety guidelines.
• If water is present in the bilge, pump
the water out of the bilge areas before
lifting your yacht. Excessive amounts
of bilge water add weight and can shift
and change the balance of the load.
• Always position the lifting slings at
the port and starboard sling label positions (see drawing on right).

Anchor Windlass
Your yacht features an anchor windlass. Be sure
to read the windlass manual supplied in your
yacht’s owner’s packet for detailed operating
instructions and observe the following:
• To haul the anchor, use engine power (not the
windlass) to move the boat to, and directly
above, the anchor. Activate the windlass to disengage the anchor from the bottom by pulling it
straight up.
• Verify that the windlass breaker is activated
before using the anchor windlass.
Davit (Option)
Your yacht may be equipped with an
optional electric davit. Before using the
davit, be sure to read the davit’s manual
which explains operation, and important
safety hazards.
Observe the following:
• The davit c ontrol plugs into the back
side of the davit, just above the davit
base (see figure 1 at right).
• Inspect the davit’s cable often for
wear and replace if fray ed. The cabl e
should be kept tight and even on the
spool when under tension during
winch operation. (figure 2).
• Secure the davit to the davit eye (located
on the transom platform) when the davit
is not in use (figure 3).
• Secure the davit to the davit eye (located
on the transom platform) when the davit
is not in use (figure 3).

DC Electrical System
Your yacht is equi pped with a 12 volt DC (direct current) system. Your yacht’s DC main distribution panel is located
inside the AC/DC cabinet, next to the aft berth steps in the aft salon on the starboard side.
Fuses and Circu it Breakers
•
The fuses and circuit breakers for engines, accessory power and windlass power are located on the DC main
distribution panel.
• An accessory fuse block for electronics, such as the VHF radio, is located under the upper helm dash. Some
equipment, such as depth finders, may have secondary fuse protection at the unit.
Batteries
The batteries installed on your yacht supply electricity for
lights, accessories as well as engine, optional generator and
optional inverter starting.
Battery Maintenanc e
•
Periodically remove the battery caps and check the electrolyte level; if the zinc plates are exposed, add distilled
water until they are covered.
• Corroded battery term inals can be cleaned with baking
soda and water. After cleaning the terminals, coat them
with a ligh t film of battery terminal lubricant and tighten
all battery connections.
Battery Condition
•
The port and starboard engine battery conditions can be read on the helm’s instrument panel voltmeters.
• The condition of the accessory battery can be read on the starboard engine voltmeter when the accessory battery
switch is ac tivated.
Battery Switches
•
There are two battery switches inst alled inside the starboard
transom storage tub.
• The battery switch labeled “PORT ENGINE” activat es the port
engine battery whi le t he starboard engine/hou se bat te ry switch,
labeled “STBD ENGINE/HOUSE” activates the starboard
engine and the house batteries.
• Battery switches should be switched to the OFF position when-
ever the yacht is left unoccupied for long periods of time.
Starting Positions
The port engine battery switch must be turned ON to start the
port engine and optional generator. The starboard engine/house
battery switch must be ON to start the starboard engine. After
starting your boat’s engines, the battery switches must be kept
ON until the engines and/or optional generator is turned OFF.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD! NEVER disconnect the
battery cables while the engine is runni ng si nce i t ca n cause dama ge to your boat’s
electrical system components .
CAUTION!
!
Electrical connections ar e prone to corros ion. To reduce corrosion caused elect rical problems,
keep all electrical connectio ns clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is de signed to protect
connections from corr osion.
