Record Important Information

In addition to this manual, your Correct Craft boat is supplied with component manufacturer information such as instructions, warranties or other important information. Read these materials carefully since improper operation and maintenance can void the warranty and jeopardize personal safety.

Safeguard information about your Correct Craft boat by recording the Hull Identification Number (HIN) and the model of your boat and the model and serial numbers of your engine/transmission and trailer, if applicable.

Your HIN is located on the top right side of the transom, above the water line. The U.S. Coast Guard requires that your HIN be permanently affixed and remain on the top right side of the transom. The first three digits represent Correct Craft, Inc. (CTC) The next five digits are the boat’s serial number. The next digit is a letter from “A” where “A” = January through “L” where “L” = December, designating the month the boat was made.

The last three digits represent the last digit of the year the boat was built and the final two digits of the boat model year. A boat built in July 2006 is actually a 2007 model boat. Example: A boat with “607” as the last digits indicates the boat was built in 2006, but it is a 2007 model boat.

Section 1

Boating Safety

Safety While Boating

Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat, its operation and can recognize potentially hazardous situations.

In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe the safety recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Do not take unnecessary chances! Remember that at least three people are needed for safely towing watersport participants.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others.

• Look before you turn the boat. As a boater you are obligated to maintain a course and speed unless it is safe to alter course and speed. Look before you turn.

• Improper operation of the boat is extremely dangerous. Operators must read and understand all operating manuals supplied with the boat before operation.

• On-board equipment must always conform to the governing federal, state and local regulations.

• Prior to starting the engine, you MUST open the engine box and check the engine compartment and bilge for gasoline and oil vapors. You MUST also operate the blower for at least four minutes. Failure to do so may result in fire or explosion. If you smell gasoline vapor or see liquid gasoline, DO NOT start the engine.

1-1

Section 1

• DO NOT operate the boat while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

• DO NOT stand or allow passengers to stand in the boat, or sit on the transom, seat backs, engine cover or sides of the boat while the engine is running. You or others may be thrown from the boat.

• DO NOT allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may result in fire or explosion.

• DO NOT leave children in the boat without adult supervision.

• DO NOT sit in front of the operator to avoid obstructing the operator’s view.

• DO NOT dive from the boat without being absolutely sure of the depth of the water, otherwise severe injury or death may occur from striking the bottom or submerged objects.

• DO NOT swim near the boat when the engine is running. Being in NEUTRAL is not enough, the propeller may still be turning and carbon monoxide may be present.

• DO NOT replace your boat’s marine parts with automotive parts.

• DO NOT remove or modify any components of the fuel system except for maintenance by qualified personnel. Tampering with fuel components may cause a hazardous condition.

• DO NOT wrap ski lines or mooring lines around any body part which may become entangled in the line if you fall overboard and the boat is moving.

• Keep track of ski lines and dock lines so they do not become entangled in the propeller.

• Be sure to securely attach the engine Emergency Stop switch lanyard to a part of your clothing, such as a belt loop, when operating the boat.

• Be sure to keep a watch for other boats, swimmers and obstructions in the water. Stay away from other boats and personal watercraft.

• Be sure to have an experienced operator at the helm and always have at least three people present for safe towing – one to drive, one to observe and one to ski or ride.

1-2

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

• Seek shelter from open water if there is threat of lightning.

• Operate slowly in congested areas such as marinas and mooring areas.

• The bow may be slippery, do not go forward while the engine is running.

• When you leave the boat take the keys with you. This will keep untrained and unauthorized persons from operating the boat.

• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide.

• DO NOT operate the engine in a confined space.

• DO NOT go under the boat cover with the engine running or shortly after the engine has been running.

• DO NOT use boarding platform with the engine running.

• DO NOT “teak surf.”

• Allow adequate ventilation with fresh air before entering.

• Slow down when crossing waves or wake in order to minimize the impact on passengers and the boat.

General Precautions

Your safety, the safety of your passengers and other boaters are among your responsibilities as operator of this boat. Your boat must be in compliance with USCG safety equipment regulations. You should know how to react correctly to adverse weather conditions, have good navigation skills, and follow the "Rules of the Road" as defined by the USCG and state/county/local regulations.

Before each outing you should check all safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, PFDs, flares, distress flags, flashlights and emergency stop switch. They should be operable, in good condition, readily visible and easily accessed.

Know the weight capacity of your boat. DO NOT overload your boat.

This section covers general boating safety information. Throughout this manual specific precautions and symbols identify safety related information.

Section 1

Boating Regulations

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is the authority of the waterways; they are there to help the boating public. State boating regulations are enforced by local authorities. You are subject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the Road” for both federal and state waterways; you must stop if signaled to do so by enforcement officers, and permit to be boarded if asked.

There are many pamphlets, prepared by the USCG, available to you. These pamphlets explain “Rules of the Road,” signal lights, buoys, safety, international and inland regulations and much more than is presented in the manual. For more information, contact your local USCG Unit or call the Coast Guard Customer Infoline at 1-800-368-5647.

Boater Responsibilities

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the operator of the boat has been properly instructed in the lawful and safe operation of this vessel. Therefore, before operating the boat, read this owner/operator manual. Be sure you understand each item before operating it. Improper operation or trailering of the boat could lead to severe damage and/or injury.

At the time of delivery, the owner/operator is responsible for:

• Understanding warranty terms and conditions of your boat, your engine and your trailer.

• Obtaining insurance.

• Examining boat to ensure proper operation of all systems.

Before operating the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:

• Obtaining state registration of the boat.

• Providing the proper USCG required safety equipment.

• Following proper break-in procedure for the engine.

• Understanding safety information and proper operating procedures within this manual.

While operating the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

• Knowing that all safety equipment and personal flotation devices (PFDs) are in good condition and suitable for your boat and passenger load.

• Knowing that the capacity of the load are within the limits stated on the USCG Maximum Capacities Plate.

• Verifying that the emergency stop switch is in proper operating condition.

• Ensuring that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations.

• Following safe operating practices and the “Rules of the Road.”

• Understanding proper maintenance and knowledge of the boat’s operating systems.

• Providing safety training for the passengers.

• Having at least one other passenger who is capable of handling the boat in an emergency.

• Maintaining a proper lookout by sight and hearing.

• Avoiding use of alcohol and other drugs.

• Providing assistance to other boaters.

Registration/Documentation

The USCG requires that all power boats operated on the navigable waters of the U.S. must be registered in the state of main use; also, many states require registration in that state whenever boating on waters within their state boundary. Contact your state boating authorities (and neighboring states) for registration information on boats and trailers. Your Correct Craft Dealer can supply you with the appropriate forms.

1-9

Section 1

Insurance

You must get insurance before operating your new boat. Insurance for loss by fire, theft or other causes, or liability protection against accidents is a must for responsible boaters. The boat owner is legally responsible for any damage or injury caused when he, or someone else operating the boat, is involved in an accident. Many states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs. Your insurance agent or your Correct Craft Dealer may be able to supply you with more information.

Education Opportunities

This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of boat operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this boat seek additional training on boat handling and safety. Have all operators become familiar with the handling characteristics, and proper steering and control system usage before attempting high speed operation.

Some states require youths 16 years of age and younger to complete a boating safety course before operating any watercraft. Many others require operators under the age of 18 to be licensed in small boat operation.

Boat smart from the start, take a boating safety course and get a free vessel safety check annually for your boat. For more information, contact: United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, 1-800-368-5647, www.cgaux.org; United States Power Squadrons, 1-888-FOR-USPS, www.usps.org.

Most boaters can enhance their enjoyment of boating experiences through increased knowledge of safe operation, navigation and regulation of pleasure boats. The following is a list of some other agencies and organizations that offer Water Safety, First Aid and CPR courses or information. To find boating safety courses in your area, call your state’s local boating agency or the USCG boating safety courseline at 1-800-336-2628 (1-800-245-2628 in Virginia).

Operating By Minors

Minors must be supervised by an adult whenever operating a boat. Many states have laws regarding the minimum age and licensing requirements of minors. Be sure to contact the state boating authorities for information.

Overloading

An overloaded boat can cause death or serious injury. Do not purposely overload or add any additional water to the boat other than to the Correct Craft Launch Control System.

DO NOT overload your boat. Your boat is equipped with a required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable load as determined by the manufacturer following certain Federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your Correct Craft Dealer.

Section 1

The capacity plate is used by boat manufacturers participating in the National Marine Manufacturers Association certification program. Correct Craft has submitted your model for inspection and compliance with their guidelines.

The capacity plate has the following information permanently printed on it. It is attached to the boat by the throttle for the operator to read before they drive the boat.

• The total weight of persons, gear and other items which the boat is capable of carrying under normal conditions. This

weight must include any added ballast other than the Correct Craft Launch Control System™.

• Death or serious injury can occur from overloading the boat. DO NOT purposely overload or add any additional water to the boat other than to the Correct Craft Launch Control

System™.

• The maximum number of persons allowed on the boat. This information on the capacity plate applies under normal conditions and special care must be used in any other than normal conditions. Check the capacity plate on your boat and abide by these limits.

NOTICE

Correct Craft, Inc. installs permanent wake enhancement ballast tanks called the Launch Control System™ in some models. The full weight of this system has already been considered in the boat weight and therefore does not influence maximum capacity, unlike portable ballast tanks or weights, which must be included as part of the gear weight.

An overloaded Nautique will handle differently than a lightly loaded one. Drive and turn your Nautique with this in mind. As wakeboarding has developed, we have witnessed the advent of ballast systems which add weight and increase the size of the wake. The simplest ballast system on the market is the water ballast type, such as the “phat sack.” It is not uncommon to see operators use such systems and then put additional people in their boat. Please be advised that this practice can lead to overloading your boat. Each

Boating Safety

WARNING

Correct Craft, Inc. boat has a required capacity label displaying the maximum weight of people, gear and ballast that can be placed in the boat. Always be aware of the load in your boat and do not load the boat in excess of the listed capacity. The quest for the "phattest" wake has caused some to excessively overload their boats. Overloading the boat will affect the operation and, possibly result in injury to persons inside and/or outside of the boat.

Passenger Safety and Seating

Make sure that at least one passenger is familiar with the operation and safety aspects of the boat in case of an emergency. Show all passengers the location of emergency equipment and explain how to use it.

The operator of the boat is responsible for the safety of the passengers as well as his/her own safety. The operator should ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations before starting.

While the engine is running, and during the boat mooring, all occupants should be properly seated. DO NOT sit on the engine box, seat backs, boarding platform or gunnels. You could fall overboard and be hit by the propeller. DO NOT allow objects, arms or legs, or any other body parts to hang over the bow or gunnels.

DO NOT stand while the boat is moving.

The operator MUST sit in the driver’s seat while the boat is moving and all passengers remain properly seated.

Visibility

Obstructed visibility can cause death or serious injury. Maintain clear visibility at all times. Arrange passengers and equipment for maximum visibility or designate a passenger to assist when visibility is limited.

1-13

Section 1

WARNING

The operator of the boat is responsible by law to “maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing.” The operator must ensure that he/she has an unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers or equipment should block the operator’s view.

Look carefully before turning, especially when you are turning around to pick up a fallen skier. Someone else may not be following the “Rules of the Road.”

Keep a visual check for boats behind your boat. This is an area where accidents can happen very quickly.

The boat should not be driven at a rate of speed faster than will allow it to be brought to a full stop within the operator’s field of view.

Boating Under the Influence

Impaired operation can cause death or serious injury. Federal and state law prohibit operating a boat under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. These regulations are actively enforced.

Boating, alcohol and the use of other drugs just do not mix. Mixing boating, alcohol and other drugs result in many marine accidents and deaths. These substances increase your reaction time and impair your judgment. Combined with the sun, wind, waves and noise of other watercraft, the effects of drugs are increased and will significantly increase your reaction time. As the owner/operator, you are responsible for the alcohol/drug use and onboard behavior of your passengers.

1-14

NOTICE

If the operator’s blood alcohol content is above the legal limit, violators are subject to a civil penalty up to $1,000.00 or criminal penalty up to $5,000.00, one year imprisonment or both. Operating a boat under the influence can also result in a loss of automobile driving privileges.

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

Reporting Accidents

The USCG requires the owner or operator of a boat involved in an accident, to report the incident to the proper marine law enforcement agency for the state in which the accident occurred. Immediate notification to the nearest State boating authority is required if a person dies or disappears as a result of a recreational boating accident. If a person dies or sustains injuries requiring more than first aid, a formal report must be filed within 48 hours of the accident. A formal report must be filed within 10 days for accidents exceeding $500 in property damage or complete loss of boat.

Rendering Assistance

If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must assume it is a real emergency and render assistance immediately. By law, the operator in charge of the craft is obligated to provide assistance to any individual in danger if such assistance can be provided safely. Failure to render assistance can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.

The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to a "Good Samaritan" boater providing good faith assistance, and absolves a boater from any civil liability arising from such assistance.

Required Safety Equipment

The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (FBSA/71) established minimum safety standards for boats and associated equipment, specified by the USCG. In addition, the ABYC and the NMMA work with boat builders to develop voluntary standards that exceed base requirements.

The included safety equipment on your Correct Craft boat meets or exceeds the standards of the USCG, ABYC and the NMMA. Some required safety equipment such as PFDs are not included with your Correct Craft boat. Your Correct Craft Dealer can help you choose the appropriate equipment.

NOTICE

Many states’ equipment requirements go beyond USCG requirements. Contact your state boating office for further information.

1-15

Section 1

Equipment requirements for coastal and inland waters differ. Check with local authorities or the USCG for further information about coastal water requirements.

The following equipment may or may not be required by federal/local regulations.

Life Saving Equipment

Federal law requires at least one Type I, II, III, or V Personal Flotation Device (PFD), of the proper size, for each person on board or being towed, and at least one Type IV throwable PFD in the boat.

There are four types of PFDs to wear and one type used for throwing in emergency situations.

Type I Life Preserver: Most buoyant PFDs are effective on all waters, especially open, rough water.

Type I

Life Preservers

Type II

Buoyant Vests

Type II Buoyant Vest: Good for calm water near shore on most inland waters where quick rescue is likely.

Type III Flotation Aid: Good for most inland water applications where quick rescue is likely. Comes in various styles and some are designed for water sport activities.

Type V Hybrid PFD: Inflatable design for special use activities and may be used instead of a Type I, II, or III PFD if used in accordance with the approval conditions on the label and if worn when the boat is underway. Some Type V PFDs provide increased protection against hypothermia.

NOTICE

• A Type V PFD must be worn to be counted toward the minimum carriage requirements.

• Special PFDs are available for skiing and other water sports. These PFDs are constructed with materials suitable for high impact falls.

PFDs are intended to help save lives. The operator should set an example by wearing one. Wear a PFD whenever boating. It is especially important that children and non-swimmers wear a PFD at all times. Make certain all passengers know how to put on and properly adjust their PFDs. Also, selecting the proper type PFD for your kind of outing helps ensure your time on the water can be the safest possible.

At the beginning of each season, check PFDs for damage and test for proper flotation. Refer to the PFD manufacturer’s information.

All boats over 16 feet (4.8 meters) in length must carry one USCG approved Type IV throwable lifesaving device, such as a ring buoy or buoyant cushion. To meet requirements, each lifesaving device must have a current, legible USCG approval stamp permanently affixed.

Type IV Throwable Device: Intended for heavy traffic inland waters where help is available. Designed to be thrown to a person in the water and should never be worn.

Boating Safety

WARNING

Emergency Stop Switch and Lanyard

Your Correct Craft boat is equipped with an emergency stop switch and lanyard. Correct Craft strongly recommends that the lanyard be secured to the operator and the lock plate attached to the emergency stop switch prior to starting the engine and anytime the engine is operating.

The lanyard is designed to turn off the engine whenever the operator moves far enough away from the helm to activate the switch. It is strongly recommended that the lanyard be used by the operator.

An Emergency Stop Switch system that is not used or does not function properly can cause death or serious injury. DO NOT operate the boat if the Emergency Stop Switch system does not function properly.

• Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, your arm or leg while operating.

• DO NOT attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. DO NOT route the lanyard where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning.

• Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

There are practical limitations to what the emergency stop switch and lanyard can do. It can take several seconds for the engine and propeller to stop turning. The boat can continue to coast for several hundred feet depending on the velocity at the time the switch was activated, and the degree of any turn. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in its path as seriously as if the boat operated under power.

1-21

Section 1

WARNING

Replacement lanyards should be of sufficient length to avoid inadvertent activation. Accidental loss of power can be hazardous particularly when docking or in heavy seas, strong current or high winds.

Emergencies

Be prepared to deal with emergencies before they happen. Try to formulate a plan for each type in advance so that decisions can be made quickly and without hesitation. Precious moments lost can mean the difference between losing and saving a life.

Fire/Explosion

You must be prepared and act quickly when dealing with a fire. It is not recommended to battle a fire for an extended period of time. Turn engines off and abandon the boat if the fire cannot be extinguished quickly. Swim at least 25 yards (23 meters) upwind from the boat and use the visual distress signals to get assistance.

Onboard fires involving the fuel system usually result in either an explosion that completely destroys the boat, or the boat burning to the waterline and self-extinguishing. Deciding on abandoning the boat or staying to fight the fire is difficult and depends on many factors. Try to formulate a fire plan in advance to help make that decision quickly and without hesitation.

Be sure to:

1-22

Burn hazard from gasoline floating on water which is ignited can cause death or serious injury. Gasoline will float on top of water and can burn. If the boat is abandoned, swim upwind, far enough to avoid fuel that can spread over the surface of the water.

• Use caution and do not smoke when refueling.

• Verify that fuel does not leak.

• Use only marine approved equipment on your boat.

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

Capsizing and Swamping

A boat may capsize or swamp when least expected. Like fires, try to formulate a plan in advance on what to do if it should happen. Keep in mind the following guidelines:

• Try to turn the engine OFF to prevent damage.

• If others were on board, try to locate them, make sure they are conscious and that they can swim.

• Stay with the boat, it will float! Climb up on the hull and try to get assistance.

• Do not try to swim to shore. It is usually farther than it looks.

If a leak is discovered, immediately determine the cause. A collision with an underwater object could cause the hull to develop a leak. A loose fitting or hose clamp on a piece of equipment could cause a leak. Try to repair the leak if possible. If a leak is threatening the safety of you and your passengers, call or signal for assistance.

Collisions

If a collision occurs, immediately account for all passengers. Assess the hull for damage and activate the bilge pumps to reduce any water intake. Try to operate the boat to keep the damaged area above water. If necessary, call or signal for assistance.

Grounding

In the event you run aground, assess the situation before proceeding. Immediately stop any water from entering the boat. Inspect the rudder and rudder control system, the hull, propeller and strut for damage. Maneuver the boat to safe water only if the hull and all operating systems are in satisfactory operating condition. Otherwise, call or signal for assistance.

Water Rescue (Man Overboard)

Immediately react to a person who has fallen overboard. Keep the victim constantly in your sight. Safely return to the victim as soon as possible. Throw the person a life preserver. Turn off the engine and help the person into the boat.

1-23

Section 1

Medical Emergency

Be prepared in the event of an emergency. Know how to use your first aid kit. Be aware of any special medical conditions of your passengers.

Operation Failure

If you experience a propulsion, steering or control failure, immediately turn OFF the engine. Try to determine the failure and repair, if possible. Otherwise, call or signal for assistance.

Hazardous Conditions

Every waterway poses hazards that you should avoid, such as shallow water, tree stumps and sand bars. Ask local boaters for information and consult a marine chart when boating on unfamiliar waters. As the operator of the boat, you should try to avoid all hazards, known and unknown. The following information does not contain all possible water hazards.

Shallow Water Operation

Operating in shallow water presents a number of hazards. If a vibration is noticed after striking an object, it may indicate a damaged propeller shaft or propeller.

Sand bars in narrow inlets are constantly shifting, making it difficult to mark them with buoys. Tides in coastal areas affect water levels producing sand bars. Sometimes sand bars are indicated by waves as they form into breakers when passing over the sand bar. Refer to Grounding, in this section, if you run aground on a sand bar.

Weeds

Weeds are generally a threat to your boat’s engine. Weeds on the propeller may cause a vibration. They may also restrict water intake causing the engine to overheat. If you run into weeds, stop the engine and clear the propeller and water intakes completely of weeds. Refer to your engine Operator’s Manual for additional information.

1-24

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

NOTICE

Weeds can sometimes be removed by shifting to NEUTRAL, pausing for a moment, then shifting to REVERSE to unwind the weeds from the propeller.

Dam Spillways

The water level around a dam spillway is a hazardous area. It is subject to rapid changes caused by currents and turbulence. Keep clear of the spillway areas below dams.

Weather/Seas

Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. It is recommended to check the weather, sea and wind conditions not only before, but also periodically while you are boating.

A change in wave height, wind direction and speed indicates deteriorating weather. Take common sense precautions if you are forced to operate your boat in stormy conditions:

• Wear PFDs.

• Reduce speed and head for a safe place that you can easily reach.

• If you lose power, keep the boat headed into the waves by using the anchor.

It is best to avoid operating your boat in foggy weather. When fog sets in take bearings and log courses and speeds. You are required to emit a five-second blast from your horn or whistle once every minute. Additionally, have passengers wear PFDs and observe for oncoming watercrafts.

Navigation markers serve as a means of identifying navigable routes, and indicate water hazards. Boaters should become familiar with navigation markers and stay within marked boundaries and clear of hazards.

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas produced by all engines and fuel burning appliances. Even

with the best boat design and construction, plus the utmost care in inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous levels of CO may still be present in occupied spaces under certain conditions.

Exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) can cause death or serious injury. Gasoline engines produce carbon monoxide (CO). CO is colorless, odorless and dangerous.

Direct and prolonged exposure to CO will cause brain damage or death. Signs of exposure to CO include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid exposure to yourself and / or your passengers to carbon monoxide.

Have a suspected CO victim deeply breathe fresh air and immediately seek medical attention.

1-27

Section 1

WARNING

Our Environment

As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean.

Foreign Species

If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly introduce a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next. Thoroughly clean the boat and trailer below the water line, remove all weeds and algae, and drain the bilge and ballast tanks before launching the boat in a new body of water.

Fuel/Oil Spillage

The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the environment and is dangerous to wildlife. DO NOT discharge or dispose of fuel, oil or other chemicals into the water; it is prohibited and you can be fined. These are two common, accidental types of discharge:

1-28

Fire or explosion hazard from fumes accumulating from rags being stored in bilge area. DO NOT store rags used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat. Dispose of rags properly ashore.

• Overfilling the fuel tanks

• Pumping contaminated bilge water

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

Discharge/Disposal of Waste

Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food, wood, detergents, sewage and even fish parts in certain waters – in short, nearly everything. We recommend you bring back everything you take out with you for proper disposal ashore.

Excessive Noise

Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even voices. Many bodies of water have adopted noise limits. Music and loud conversation can carry a considerable distance on water, especially at night. Be sure to follow regulations and be courteous.

Wake/Wash

Be alert for NO WAKE zones. Prior to entering a no wake zone, come off plane to the slowest steerable speed. Use caution when operating around smaller crafts, in channels and marinas, and in congested areas.

Exhaust Emissions

Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance. Consult your Correct Craft dealer for information.

Paints

If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate. Be aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint choice. Contact your local boating authorities for information.

1-29

Section 1

Cleaning Agents

Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. DO NOT mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products. Citrus-based cleaners are excellent for marine cleaning purposes and are safe for you and the environment.

MARPOL Treaty

The USCG enforces the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships, commonly referred to as the MARPOL Treaty (MARine POLlution). This treaty prohibits the overboard dumping of all ship-generated plastics, chemicals, garbage and oil.

Water Sport Safety

Skiers or riders are obligated to be aware of the same fundamental safety rules as operators. If you are new to water skiing, seek certified training before starting. You will find it especially helpful to join a local ski club, World Wakeboard Association and/or the USA Water Ski, when possible.

Always remember that the majority of water skiing injuries are the result of impacts with other objects. Always look where you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.

Teak/Drag Surfing

READ, UNDERSTAND and be FAMILIAR with the information contained on warning labels and adhere to the boat operation practices described on them. The United States Coast Guard issued a SAFETY ALERT on August 28, 2001 that covers some of the issues of improper use of the boarding platform. The SAFETY ALERT and portions of the accompanying information follow:

1-30

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

EXHAUST PORT

CORC023

Every year tragic deaths occur from the negligence of unsafe boating and dangerous activities. Experts say, "many of these deaths may have been caused by an invisible hazard, carbon monoxide poisoning." Taking the risk of swimming under a boarding platform when the engine is running, skiing within 20 feet (6.1 meters), "teak surfing" or "dragging" behind a moving boat can be fatal. Correct Craft DOES NOT consider any dangerous activities which can result in a serious injury or death a water sport. Correct Craft is concerned for all boaters safety and DOES NOT promote unsafe boating risks or jeopardizing any boaters safety.

DO NOT use the boarding platform for any other purpose than boarding the boat or preparation of entering the water, and DO NOT use the boarding platform when the engine is running.

1-31

Section 1

SAFETY ALERT From August 28, 2001:

The United States Coast Guard advised boaters not to "Teak/Drag Surf." Recent boating fatalities revealed that carbon monoxide (CO) emitted from a vessel’s exhaust resulted in CO poisoning and the death of at least six teak surfers. "Teak/Drag Surfing" places the individual in position directly exposed to the CO in the engine’s exhaust. This may result in a loss of coherent responses and even death. In addition, "Teak/Drag Surfing" dangerously exposes the individual to a possible propeller injury, and since it is done without a life jacket (PFD), it significantly increases the probability of drowning. Therefore, the Coast Guard stresses, "Teak/Drag Surfing" is a very dangerous activity and advises boaters not to participate in it.

The Coast Guard pointed out that carbon monoxide is one of the most dangerous gases. It strikes before you know you are exposed and it impairs in a way that can and too often does lead to death. That is why it is so important to the Coast Guard that in every circumstance where it can be avoided, it is.

General Water Sport Precautions

• DO NOT ski in shallow water, close to shore or in water where you do not know the depth or what is beneath the surface.

• DO NOT put your arm, head or any other part of your body through the handle-bridle of the ski line nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.

• DO NOT ski at night or directly in front of other boats.

• DO NOT jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water when the engine is running (RUN).

• DO NOT approach the boat if the engine is running.

• DO NOT ski near swimming areas, beaches or personal watercraft.

• DO NOT follow directly behind another boat or skier without leaving an adequate safe distance.

• DO NOT "back up" to anyone in the water.

• DO NOT ski with multiple skiers with different length ropes.

• DO NOT ski in limited visibility conditions.

• DO NOT approach the rear of the boat while the engine is running.

1-32

Correct Craft, Inc.

Boating Safety

• DO NOT Kitefly.

• Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing hand signals and common skiing courtesy.

• Be sure to turn off the engine before allowing anyone to approach the boat.

• The engine MUST be shut down (OFF) before a skier enters or exits the boat, boarding platform or ladder.

• Every skier MUST always wear a USCG-approved Type III personal flotation device. Special PFDs are available for high impact falls into the water.

• Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from all other objects, including other boats, piers, rafts, mooring and navigational buoys, pilings, abutments or any other items.

• Be sure to have an experienced operator and observer in the boat when skiing.

• Look before you turn the boat to pick up a fallen skier.

• Have ship to shore communication devices if operating at a significant distance off shore.

• The operator should never retrieve or pick up an article from the water while the engine is running. The engine MUST be shut OFF.

• The operator should always keep the skier in view when the skier is entering or exiting the boat.

• Communicate skiing speed with the skier before starting.

• The operator should know the ability level of the skier.

• The skier should indicate he/she is clear of the boat prior to starting the boat or putting the boat into gear and tightening the rope.

• The operator, observer and skier should agree to communication hand signals before starting.

• Observer in the boat should keep operator appraised of skier status.

• The operator should always watch the skier as the line is tightened to start (in case rope wraps around ski or skier).

• The operator should look ahead before starting.

• Start from a safe place with good forward and peripheral visibility.

• The operator should check direction of the rudder before

1-33

Section 1

starting (in gear, slowly making sure the boat goes straight).

• The operator should be primarily aware of what is occurring in front of the boat, but be aware of skier’s progress.

• Be sure to inspect the tow eye or pylon before use. If there is any evidence of corrosion or other damage, do not use until it has been inspected by your Correct Craft dealer.

• Be sure to wear wet suits or protective shorts when skiing to prevent abrasions, hypothermia and injuries to orifices (rectal and vaginal) from impact with a water surface.

• When people are getting on or off of water sports equipment, always turn the engine off. If boarding water sports equipment from the boat, always do so from the boarding platform.

• Always inspect water sports equipment for wear, fraying, etc., before use. DO NOT use if they show signs of wear or fraying.

• When approaching a skier, always turn the engine off before allowing the skier to come onboard. This will keep a propeller that is rotating under engine power from injuring the skier.

• Be sure to approach a downed skier on the operator’s side, keep the skier always in view.

• Display a skier down flag whenever the skier is in the water and not skiing.

• Inspect towline for fraying, unnecessary knots or cuts. Replace when the rope shows signs of wear. DO NOT wait for the rope to break before replacing an old rope.

• Be sure to follow the approved towing pattern on each lake.

WARNING

Basic Rules of the Road

Hazard from collisions between boats can cause death or serious injury. Follow the nautical “Rules of the Road.”

The operator is legally required to follow the rules. The following information outlines only the most basic of the nautical “Rules of the Road.” For more information, contact your local USCG Auxiliary.

Aids To Navigation

Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are the signposts of the waterways. There are two primary marking systems in use in the U.S.: the Uniform State Waterway Marking System (USWMS), used on inland waters and maintained by each state, and the Federal Waterway Marking System (FWMS), used on coastal waters and rivers and maintained by the USCG. In addition, the FWMS has two modified systems: the Western River Buoyage, and the Intercoastal Waterway Buoyage. Be sure to check with local authorities on the buoyage system in use.

The type of hazard/warning buoys and markers depends on the area of jurisdiction. Check with local boating authorities.

The only buoys you are permitted to moor to are mooring buoys. Mooring to a navigation buoy or other navigational aid or regulatory marker is illegal.

USWMS System

In the USWMS Lateral System, well-defined channels are marked with red and black buoys. Lateral means the sides of the channel are marked and the boat should pass between them.

The USWMS Cardinal System is used when there is no well-defined channel or where an obstruction may be approached from more than one direction. With the cardinal system:

• Pass north or east of BLACK-TOPPED WHITE buoy.

• Pass south or west of RED-TOPPED WHITE buoy.

• RED and WHITE VERTICALLY STRIPED buoy indicates boat should pass outside of the buoy (away from shore).

The FWMS Lateral System is for use on navigable waters except Western Rivers and Intercoastal Waterways.

The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going toward the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when proceeding from open water into port, and green buoys to the port (left) side.

The right side (starboard) of the channel is marked with RED, even numbered buoys. The left (port) side of the channel is marked with GREEN, odd numbered buoys.

FWMS Marking System

The middle of the channel is marked with RED and WHITE vertically striped buoys; pass close to these buoys.

Spherical Safe Water Marker

Obstructions, channel junctions, etc. are marked with RED and GREEN horizontally striped buoys.

2-4

A RED band at the top means the preferred channel is to the left of the buoy; a GREEN top band means the preferred channel is to the right of the buoy.

Day markers are colored and numbered the same as buoys. RED, triangular day markers with even numbers mark the starboard side of the channel. GREEN, square day markers with odd numbers mark the port side of the channel.

Right of Way

NOTICE

In general, boats with less maneuverability have right of way over more agile craft. You must stay clear of the vessel with right of way and pass to his stern.

Privileged Boats

Privileged boats have right of way and can hold course and speed. Sailboats and boats paddled or rowed have the right of way over motor boats. Sailboats under power are considered motorboats. Small pleasure craft must yield to large commercial boats in narrow channels.

Burdened Boats

The burdened boat is the boat that must make whatever adjustment to course and speed necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged boat.

Correct Craft, Inc.

Basic Rules of the Road

The General Prudential Rule

The General Prudential Rule regarding right of way, is that if a collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has right of way. As prescribed in the "Rules of the Road," both boats must act to avoid collision.

Night Running

Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state) must use navigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially during bad weather or fog can be dangerous. All "Rules of the Road" apply at night, but it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats, regardless of who has right of way. Protect your night vision by avoiding bright lights and have a passenger, if possible, help keep watch for other boats, water hazards and aids to navigation.

Standard and Optional Equipment

Correct Craft boats are equipped with only the finest standard and optional equipment available. Your boat’s equipment will vary, based on how your boat was built. Many options can only be installed during the manufacturing of the boat and cannot be retrofitted to boats in the field.

Not all of the standard or optional equipment’s use, safety and maintenance information can be covered in this manual. You will find most of the standard and optional equipment in this manual in the section pertaining to its use and function in Section 4. Make sure you read and understand this manual and all the other manufacturer’s literature provided in your Skipper’s Kit to maximize the benefits and uses this equipment has to offer.

If you have any questions regarding the use of any equipment on your Correct Craft boat, contact your Correct Craft dealer.

Section 4

WARNING

Controls and Indicators

Knowing the systems, controls and indicators on your boat is essential for safe and proper operation.

Improperly maintained controls are hazardous and may cause sudden loss of control. Make sure all steering and shift / throttle hardware, cables and fluid levels are regularly inspected and maintained. Improper maintenance may result in a loss of control, possibly causing serious injury or death.

Steering

The steering system in your Correct Craft boat provides excellent maneuvering performance for pleasure boating or during water sports. Boat steering is not self-centering. Always keep a secure grip on the steering wheel to maintain full boat control. The steering wheel is equipped with a tilt lever to adjust the wheel angle to a comfortable operating position when the boat is not moving.

RELEASE

LEVER

CORC133

Section 4

WARNING

The helm transfers rotary motion of the steering wheel to linear motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder. Nautique rudders are equipped with an adjustable trim tab under license from Z-Marine (U.S. patent 5,746,147) to compensate for the torque generated by the propeller.

Maintenance for the steering system is minimal because there are few serviceable parts. The rack and pinion for the system is lubricated and sealed during manufacturing. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to inspect the steering system frequently.

If you experience difficulty in steering, refer to Section 8 - Care and Maintenance.

Hazard from improper maintenance of the controls can cause death or serious injury from sudden loss of control. DO NOT operate your boat if you suspect the steering system or control are malfunctioning.

Hydro-Gate™ Control and SportShift-210, 211, 220 and 236 Only

The Hydro-Gate is engaged by moving the SportShift lever located at the helm’s starboard side fore and disengaged by moving the lever aft. When the SportShift lever is pushed forward, the HydroGate is engaged, creating maximum lift for a wake with a welldefined crest and shallower ramp. When the SportShift lever is pushed aft, the Hydro-Gate is disengaged (raised), allowing your boat to sit deeper in the water, creating the maximum wake with a steep ramp. The SportShift lever can be placed in any position to create your ultimate wake. When used in conjunction with the Launch Control System, the SportShift and the Hydro-Gate can be used to create a wide variety of wakes to meet your style and need. The SportShift and Hydro-Gate can be used at any speed or at rest.

WARNING

Shifter/Throttle

Hazard from replacing your shift/ throttle control without a start-in-gear protection system can cause death or serious injury, DO NOT replace the control with a control that does not have this feature.

Your Correct Craft boat is equipped with a Shifter/Throttle Control Handle which features a start-in-gear protection to prevent the boat from moving when started. A single-lever control with neutral warm-up button and safety lockout umbrella operates as both a gear shifter and a throttle control. When the throttle lever is vertical, it is locked in the NEUTRAL position for safety. Be sure the control is in NEUTRAL before attempting to start the engine. Lifting the safety lock-out umbrella and moving the throttle lever forward will engage FORWARD gear in the transmission and increase the engine RPM. Moving the throttle lever backward will engage REVERSE gear in the transmission and also increase the engine RPM.

Emergency Stop Switch

The emergency stop switch will stop the engine when the lanyard is pulled far enough to disengage it from the switch. Attach the lanyard to the boat operator whenever the engine is running but be aware there will be a loss of engine power if the switch is activated. If the operator is thrown from the seat, or moves too far from the helm, the lanyard will become disconnected from the switch, shutting off the engine. Refer to Section 1 for more information.

DO NOT allow your boat to be operated without the proper use of the emergency stop switch and lanyard.

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

To attach a lanyard, connect the clip to the emergency stop switch and the hook to a strong piece of clothing on the operator, such as a belt loop.

The engine will not start unless the emergency stop switch is attached.

Section 4

WARNING

Hazard from improper use of the emergency stop switch can cause death or serious injury. The emergency stop switch is designed to stop the boat if the operator is accidentally thrown from the helm. Attach the lanyard to the operator before starting the engine.

The emergency stop switch can only be effective when it is in good working condition.

Observe the following:

• DO NOT remove or modify an emergency stop switch and/or its lanyard.

• The lanyard must be free from obstructions that could interfere with its operation.

Once a month: Check the emergency stop switch for proper operation. With the engine running, pull lanyard. If the engine does not stop, see your Correct Craft Dealer for service of the switch.

• Volts - Indicates the condition of the engine’s cranking battery in volts DC. With the ignition switch on and the engine not running, a reading above 12.5 volts indicates a fully charged battery. With the engine running at idle, the gauge should read between 12.5 and 13 volts. With the engine running at cruising speeds and above, it should show 13 to 14.5 volts. Have your Correct Craft Dealer check the charging system if the voltmeter reads outside these normal ranges.

Correct Craft, Inc.

Controls and Indicators

• Tem p - Indicates the engine coolant temperature. Refer to the engine manual for normal operating temperature. After starting the engine, check your temperature gauge for abnormally high readings. If the reading is outside the manufacturer’s operating range, immediately turn OFF the engine. An abnormally high temperature indicates a cooling system problem. Consult your Correct Craft dealer when experiencing a high engine temperature reading.

• Oil Pressure - Measures the pressure of the engine’s lubricating oil. Refer to the engine manual for normal operating pressure. Many serious engine problems are reflected on oil pressure gauge readings. If the pressure is lower than the manufacturer’s specification, immediately turn OFF the engine. Contact your Correct Craft Dealer to correct the problem before operating the engine.

• Tachometer / Hour Meter - Registers engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Use the tachometer to keep the engine within the proper operating range. Consult the engine manual for the proper RPM operating range of your engine. The hour meter LCD display registers accumulated engine operating time. Time will not be logged unless the ignition switch is on and the engine is running. Use the hour meter to keep accurate logs for scheduled maintenance.

• Speedometer - Your Nautique is equipped with a precision speedometer by Faria. This gauge registers forward speed in miles per hour (optional kilometers per hour). The speedometer is equipped with an adjustment knob to calibrate speedometer accuracy. You can also use this gauge to monitor fuel consumption and propeller performance.

• Engine Warning Light - Indicates high engine temperature. If light illuminates, stop engine and investigate for cause.

The optional dash pod uses the Faria®Serial BusTMsystem which receives information from the engine ECU and various individual sensors throughout the boat. This information is transformed into digital data, which is distributed to analog and digital instruments via a single cable consisting of two shielded, twisted pairs of conductors.

Each instrument selects the data, which applies and displays it as if it was received from the sender directly. One of the two pairs of conductors carries the data while the other pair of conductors carries the power for the instruments. The tachometer and speedometer each have three pushbuttons, which allow the different functions of each instrument to be activated.
