Safety Equipment

General Safety Precautions

Y our Supra has been equipped at the factory with most of the federally required safety equipment for 1, 16’-to-26’). This equipment includes:

- UL-approved Marine Fire Extinguisher, T ype A-BC (2 lbs.), good for solids, liquids, and electrical fire

- ABYC-approved Marine Mufflers with water injection

- USCG-approved Marine Flame Arrestor

- USCG-approved Engine Box Ventilation with spark-less power blower

- ABYC-approved Electric Horn sound warning device

- USCG-approved inland lighting

Federal law also requires at least a Type I, II or III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each person on board or being towed on water skis or other recreational equipment. In addition, one throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board.

As the owner, obtaining the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. Y our Supra dealer can—and will be happy to

assist you.

NOTE: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters differ. Check with the local authorities for more information.

A responsible owner will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, this equipment is dependent on the body of water and the length of the trip.

We suggest the following—as a minimum. Y our Supra dealer can also assist you with additional recommendations.

- An anchor with at least 75-feet of line

- A manual bailing device for removing water

- A combination oar/boat hook

- A day-and-night visual distress signal

- A first aid kit and manual

- An airway breathing tube

- A waterproof flashlight

- A set of local navigation charts

- Mooring lines and fenders

- Extra engine oil

- A tool kit

- A portable AM/FM radio or weather radio

inland waters (Class

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

- Improper operation 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.

- Small children in the bow of the boat should be accompanied by an adult at all times.

- Never stand or allow passengers to stand while the boat is moving. You or others may be thrown from the boat.

- Never operate the boat while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

- Gasoline vapors can explode. Before starting engine, open engine box, check engine compartment for gasoline vapors, and operate blower for at least 4 minutes. Run blower below cruising speed.

- Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. Inspect system regularly. Examine fuel tanks for leaks or corrosion at least annually.

- Never override or modify the engine safety shut-off switch or engine neutral starting safety switch in any way.

- Never remove or modify components of the fuel system in any way except for maintenance by qualified personnel. T ampering with fuel components may cause a hazardous condition.

- Never allow any type of spark or open flame on board. It may result in fire or explosion.

- It is the owner’s responsibility to check tightness of the Rad-A-Cage Tower bolts BEFORE each use.

- The Rad-A-Cage Tower is designed to pull a single (1) individual. DO NOT climb or sit on the Rad-A-Cage T ower . Rope may loop on inverted tricks. DO NOT sit behind the pulling point of the Rad-A-Cage Tower.

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 before an accident occurs.

- T o avoid serious personal injury, DO NOT be on or about the swim platform while engine is running and keep away from rear of boat while engine is running.

- T o avoid serious personal injury , DO NOT operate engine while anyone is on or about the swim platform or in the water near the boat.

General Safety Precautions (continued)

- The tow bar is not designed for vertical extensions. Any modifications to the tow bar or its mountings may result in damage to the boat and injury to the user.

Skiing Safety

Skiers are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to water skiing, seek certified training before starting. You will find it especially helpful to join a local ski club, USA Waterski, or similar organization when possible.

- Rear storage area is located above the gas tank and is not designed for ballast. Weight limit is 150 lbs. equally distributed.

- The Rad-A-Cage Tower may strike low objects. Check clearance height around docks, shore, overhanging objects, bridges and power lines.

- DO NOT pull past 45 degrees of the centerline of the boat. Failure to follow this rule could result in the boat capsizing.

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

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

- Every skier must always wear a USCG-approved personal flotation device.

- 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.

- Always have an experienced driver and observer in the boat when skiing.

- Never ski in shallow water, close to shore, or in water where you do not know the depth or what is beneath the surface.

- Never 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.

- Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.

- Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water when the engine is running (ON).

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

Ski Pylon Extensions

The use of a ski pylon extension or extensions in excess of 7-feet vertical is not recommended by Supra on our products. If you elect to use merchandise such as these, be aware that they could create excessive stress on your boat and subjectively cause damages not covered by the warranty.

Warning Plates and Labels

Read and note ALL warning plates and labels from bow to stern that appear on the boat, including these!

Section III

Boating Rules

Basic Boating Rules

Y ou should be aware of these rules and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.

The rules presented in this manual are condensed and have been provided as a convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) or Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be using your boat. If you plan to travel—even for a short trip—you would be well served to contact the regional USCGA or DMV in the area where you will be boating.

Review and understand all local and state laws.

Any time two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way. It is called the stand-on vessel. The vessel which does NOT have the right-of-way is called the give-way or burdened vessel.

These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way , and accordingly, what each vessel should do.

The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.

Encountering Other Vessels

There are three main situations in which you may encounter other vessels and you must observe the Steering Rules in order to avoid a collision. These are:

- Meeting (you are approaching another vessel head-on)

- Crossing (you are traveling across the other vessel’s path)

- Overtaking (you are passing or being passed by another vessel)

Using the following illustration in which you are the boat in the center, you should give right-of-way to all vessels shown in the white area. In this instance, you are the give-way vessel. All vessels in the shaded area must yield to you as you are the stand-on vessel. Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.

The vessel which does not have the right-of-way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, the give-way vessel should not cross in front of the stand-on vessel. Slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. Y ou should always move in such a way that the stand-on operator can see what you are doing.

This rule is called Rule 2 in the International Rules and says,

“In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.”

If you are meeting another power vessel head-on, and you are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way . Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule doesn’t apply if both of you can clear each other by continuing your set course and speed.

When two power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel that views the crossing vessel to the starboard (right) side must give-way.

If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, maintain your course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way as it should.

All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered under International Rules to be fishing vessels. Boats with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels.

Fishing vessels have the right-of-way, regardless of position. These vessels, however, cannot impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.

Sailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:

- When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has the right-of-way.

- Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel.

- In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel which can navigate only in such a channel.

If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way as you clear it, altering course and speed as necessary.

Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.

There are three other rules to always remember when driving your boat around other vessels.

When navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a prolonged blast on the whistle or horn—four to six seconds.

If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the whistle or horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still proceed around the bend with caution.

The waters of the United States are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. The markers and buoys you will encounter have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass when navigating in a particular direction.

The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward while the boater is going towards the port. This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to port (left) side. When navigating out of port, your position to the buoys should be reversed: red buoys to port and black buoys to starboard.

Many boating bodies of water are entirely within the boundaries of a single state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking Systems has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory information.

These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. The information signifies speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas and general information.

Remember: Markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar waters.

(See examples of buoys and markers next page.)

If you navigate these type of waters, you should carry a portable air horn, which are available from local marine supply stores.

Break In Period

Taking care to properly break in your new engine will pay off in the long run. In our years of field testing, we have proven that an Indmar engine, when properly broken in according to our simple procedures, will last longer, run better and have fewer repairs over its lifetime.

Your new engine does not require an elaborate break-in procedure. Just follow these simple instructions and you are off to a great start.

The three (3) most important aspects of new engine break-in are:

1.Avoid running engine at high speeds.

2.Do not carry a heavy load (passengers, gear, etc.).

3.V ary your boat speed during break-in, don’t run at the same RPM for a long period of time.

BREAK-IN STEPS

- For the first hour, do not exceed 2,000 RPM.

- For the second hour, do not exceed 3,000 RPM.

- For the next five hours, do not exceed 4,000 RPM

BREAK-IN TIPS

- Avoid fast accelerations and don’t carry (or pull) a heavy load during this period.

- Always let engine warm up gradually before acceleration.

- Check oil frequently. During the first 50 to 100 hours, an engine can use more oil than usual. Maintain oil at a proper level at all times (do not overfill).

- Monitor transmission fluid levels.

- Report abnormal noises or vibrations to your dealer.

- Keep an eye out for loose mountings, fittings, nuts, bolts, and clamps.

During the BREAK-IN process, engine temperature should be carefully monitored and speed should be reduced if overheating is evident. ALSO, PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR BREAK-IN INFORMATION.

NOTICE: PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL for maximum RPM and engine break-in procedure. After the first 20 hours of operation, take your boat to the dealer for its first oil and filter change, as well as an engine checkup. Remember to keep a sharp eye on all gauges and warning lights during these first hours of operation. Report anything unusual to your dealer.

After the break-in procedure is over, your boat may be operated continuously at any speed.

Do not exceed maximum RPM recommended for your engine. Exceeding the maximum RPM may result in damage to the engine.

Section V

Operating Infomation

Starting & Operation

A standard pre-starting procedure should be always be followed before the first start-up of the day.

1.Check the engine oil level.

2.Check for gasoline fumes in bilge or engine compartment.

3.Operate engine blower for 4 minutes to remove any fumes.

4.Check manual operation of bilge pump. Make sure bilge areas are empty.

Other items might also be inspected, depending on the boat and its use. It is advisable to formulate a check list particular to the equipment and operation of your boat.

REFER TO THE BOATMAN’S CHECKLIST OF THIS MANUAL.

Consult the local Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power Squadron for full details on boating safety.

NOTE: Add-on electrical accessories should never be connected to the ignition terminal or ignition circuit.

IMPORT ANT: DO NOT continue to operate the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time without pausing to allow the starter motor to cool down for at least 2 minutes. This will also allow the battery to recover between starting attempts. PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

Before starting your engine you must open the engine box and check engine compartment and bilge for gasoline and oil vapors.

BEFORE ST ARTING ENGINE, BE SURE THA T THE SHIFT SELECTOR IS IN NEUTRAL.

The correct starting procedure depends upon the type of engine. Please refer to the engine manual before starting.

Canvas Cover

Your mooring cover is not designed for trailering. Trailering with your cover inst alled may cause premature cover failure and boat damage. This damage is not warrantable.

Coast Guard Regulations

The United States Coast Guard boating regulations prescribe minimum standards of safety to be met and maintained by all watercraft. It is necessary that your boat remain in compliance with these regulations.

Your Supra boat cover is made from the finest canvas and webbing to insure that your boat will be protected in the off season. The cover has been designed to fit securely around each boat. If you new cover does not seem to be snug, a shrinkage allowance has been sized in.

Use the following procedure when covering the boat:

1.Be sure that the cover fits snugly at the bow then unfold from front to back.

2.Be sure to install cover pole(s) and adjust to proper height, using set screw on pole(s). This will keep water from gathering in the center, which can damage the cover.

3.Secure all fastening straps around the trailer frame.

4.Pull the draw cord equally from both sides and tie off to the lifting eyes on the stern in accordance with the illustration.

Folding Cover

When folding the cover for storage, be sure the cover is dry. Take care not to scratch the canvas finish against rough surfaces. Store in a dry location.

Cover Repair

If the cover becomes damaged, immediately patch and reseal the area. Use a tent seam sealer to reseal any new stitches. Spray fabric guard on scraped or worn surfaces. Canvas tears should be repaired professionally and stitches sealed to prevent leakage.

The staff at Skier’s Choice, Inc. recommend that all boat operators complete a Coast Guard approved boating safety course.

Maximum Capacities

In compliance with United States Coast Guard Regulations, Supra Boats meet or exceed all safety standards designed for recreational boats. To ensure safe handling and performance, each Supra boat displays a maximum capacity sticker (see sample), stating the maximum passenger weight load allowable.

NOTICE: Refer to the Maximum Capacity Sticker on your boat for allowable loading.

Section VI

Starting & Operation

A standard pre-starting procedure should be always be followed before the first start-up of the day.

1.Check the engine oil level.

2.Check for gasoline fumes in bilge or engine compartment.

3.Operate engine blower for 4 minutes to remove any fumes.

4.Check manual operation of bilge pump. Make sure bilge areas are empty. Other items might also be inspected, depending on the boat and its use. It is advisable to formulate a check list

particular to the equipment and operation of your boat.

REFER TO THE BOATMAN’S CHECKLIST OF THIS MANUAL.

NOTE: Add-on electrical accessories should never be connected to the ignition terminal or ignition circuit. IMPORTANT: DO NOT continue to operate the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time without pausing to

allow the starter motor to cool down for at least 2 minutes. This will also allow the battery to recover between starting attempts. PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

BEFORE ST ARTING ENGINE, BE SURE THAT THE SHIFT SELECTOR IS IN NEUTRAL.

The correct starting procedure depends upon the type of engine. Please refer to the engine manual before starting.

To Start Electronic Fuel Injection

(EFI) Engine

1.Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the upright (zero) position. (If throttle is not in the idle position, the throttle position sensor will not allow the engine computer to proceed with a normal starting procedure).

2.Turn Ignition Key to Start Position to operate the starter.

3.Release the Key when engine starts (key will return to run position).

4.Allow the engine to establish a good idle (30 to 60 seconds) before getting underway.

5.Shift slowly into forward or reverse, allowing the transmission time to engage before powering up.

NOTE: It is normal for the idle to speed up in cold start conditions.

DO NOT continue to operate the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time without pausing to allow the starter motor to cool down for at least 2 minutes. This will also allow the battery to recover between starting attempts. PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

NOTE: Should the EFI engine become “flooded” use the following procedure to start:

1F. Place shift selector in Neutral and disengage the

transmission by pushing the transmission lockout button located at the bottom of the lever.

2F . With the transmission disengaged push the lever forward

to full throttle position. (This will cause the computer to shut off the fuel injectors which will allow the engine to clear of excess fuel during starting).

3F. Turn the Ignition Key to Start Position and operate the

starter for no more than 15 seconds at a time until the engine starts.

4F. When the engine starts, back off the throttle and allow

the engine to establish a good idle (30 to 60 seconds).

5F. Return the throttle to idle position and the transmission

lockout will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.

6F. When ready to get underway, shift slowly into forward

or reverse, allowing the transmission time to engage the gearing before powering up.

To Start Carburetor Engine

1.Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the upright (zero) position and push the transmission lockout button at the bottom of the lever to disengage the transmission.

2.Turn the ignition key to the start position to operate the starter.

3.When the engine starts, release the key and it will return to the run position.

4.With the transmission disengaged, push the throttle lever forward to increase the engine idle to 1200 to 1500 RPM.

5.When the engine idle smooths out, return the throttle to idle position and the transmission lockout will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.

6.When ready to get underway, shift slowly into forward or reverse, allowing the transmission time to engage the gearing before powering up.

Revised 2-20-02 EHJ

If Carburetor Engine Does Not Start

1B. Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the

upright (zero) position and push the transmission lockout button at the bottom of the lever to disengage the transmission.

2B. With the transmission disengaged, push the throttle lever

forward about one/fourth (to slow run position). 3B. Turn ignition key to start position to operate starter. 4B. When the engine starts operate the throttle lever to

establish an engine idle of 1200 to 1500 RPM. 5B. When the engine idle smooths out, return the throttle to

idle position and the transmission lockout will

automatically reengage the transmission in neutral

position. 6B. When ready to get underway, shift slowly into forward

or reverse, allowing the transmission time to engage

the gearing before powering up.

If Carburetor Engine Does Not Start

1C. Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the

upright (zero) position and push the transmission lockout

button at the bottom of the lever to disengage the

transmission. 2C. With the transmission disengaged, move the throttle

lever back and forth from one/fourth to one/third throttle. 3C. While moving the throttle lever turn the ignition key to

Start Position to operate the starter.

NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow the starter to rest for a full minute before attempting this starting procedure again.

4C. When the engine starts, operate the throttle lever to

establish an engine idle of 1200 to 1500 RPM.

Throttle Lever

The throttle lever controls both the throttle and the transmission. The idle position (normally vertical) is the zero throttle position and the neutral position for the transmission. A safety ring (umbrella) keeps the lever from being accident ally moved to engage the transmission. To place the transmission into gear, with your hand placed over the lever ball, pull up on the safety ring (umbrella) and slowly push the lever into forward gear or slowly pull the lever back into reverse gear.

Never shift the lever directly from the neutral (vertical) position into a speed position.

- To prevent damage to the transmission always allow the transmission time to engage before accelerating the engine.

- Once the transmissions engaged, you may accelerate as quickly as you like.

If Carburetor Engine Floods

1D. Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the

upright (zero) position and push the transmission lockout button at the bottom of the lever to disengage the transmission.

2D. Push the throttle lever to the full throttle (wide open)

position.

3D. Turn Ignition Key to operate starter.

NOTE: Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow the starter to rest for a full minute before attempting this starting procedure again.

4D. When the engine starts, back off the throttle, but allow

the engine to idle at 1500 RPM until it smooths out.

Transmission

Lockout

The Transmission Lockout button allows the transmission to be disengaged while giving the throttle full operating range. With the lever in the idle position (normally vertical) push the button located at the bottom of the lever to disengage the transmission. The throttle may then be operated in any open position (forward of neutral or back of neutral upright position). Return the throttle to idle position, and the transmission lockout will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.

Bilge Area Drain Plug

The bilge area drain plug is located at the front of the motor well, directly under the engine.

It is extremely important that the drain plug is always checked before starting the engine. The drain plug should be secured in place using a wrench.

If bags fail to fill or drain, you may check the hippo fuse block located under the dash area to insure fuses have not blown. The 3 ballast bag system is located in the front ski locker, starboard rear storage compartment, and port rear storage compartment.

Each Hippo system also includes a manual shut off valve in case of emergencies. If closed, the valve will prevent any water from entering the system and is only used in emergency situations. Under normal use the valve should remain open to allow full flow of water into system.

T o allow water into the system, Hippo ballast systems utilize a scooped intake strainer to force water into the system whether the boat is sitting still or underway . If air becomes trapped in the system, it may be necessary to run the boat at planning speeds to force air through the system and allow the fill pump to prime fully . Once the pump has primed it is no longer necessary to run the boat for filling. This situation may occur if the boat is trailered for long distances.

Care should be taken that the ballast bags are situated properly with the fill hose on top and drain hose on bottom and that all fittings are installed securely. The bags should not be twisted and the bags should be free to expand and drain completely. Care should be taken to prevent sharp objects from coming in contact with the bags. Cuts and punctures to the bags are not warrantable.

Cooling Systems

FRESH WATER COOLING SYSTEM

The standard cooling system for Supra boats is an open circulation cooling system with intake water. This is preferred for lakes and reservoirs with low salt content. If the engine is occasionally operated in salt water, the cooling system should be flushed with fresh water periodically and always before storage. If your boat is regularly operated in salt water, it should be equipped with the optional salt water package.

SAL T WA TER COOLING SYSTEM

The optional cooling system for use on salt water is a closed system with a solution of 50% antifreeze and 50% fresh water. The coolant is left in the closed system and replaced once a year.

Body Lubrication

Normal use of your Supra causes metal to metal movement at some parts in the boat. Driver seat track should be lubricated with a water resistant chassis lubricant such as silicon grease.

Lubricate rudder grease fitting located below the engine, once annually.

Engine Oil and Filter

The oil filter is located below the engine. The engine manufacturer recommends that you change the oil and oil filter after the first 1020 hours use of your new boat. Thereafter , to maximize engine life, change oil and filter after every 50 hours of use (See Engine Manual).

Crankcase oil should be selected to deliver the highest performance for your operating conditions and climate. In general, engine oils with lower viscosity ratings are used when temperatures remain low or when better fuel economy is desired. Oils with higher viscosity ratings are used when temperatures remain higher and when higher performance is expected from the engine.

The Engine Manufacturer recommends Pennzoil 15W-40 Marine Motor Oil. If this is unavailable, a high grade with an A.P.I. classification of SH, SJ, SG/CD is acceptable.

REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL for more information.

V-Drive Remote Oil Filter

V-Drive remote oil filter is mounted on the ski pylon bracket.

Oil Level Check

Fuel Filter - Water Separator

Depending on the model of your engine, you will have either a water separator filter, or a fuel filter. If your engine has a water separator filter, it will be located on the front of the engine. If your engine has a fuel filter, it will be located on the stringer under the engine.

Engine oil level should be checked at regular intervals (such as every 5 engine hours). To obtain a true reading, when the engine is at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level showing on the dipstick.

If the oil level is between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the dipstick, simply replace the dipstick. When the oil level is at or below the “ADD” mark, add oil to return the level to the “FULL” mark.

Transmission Level Check

V-Drive Fluid Check

Cleaning, Care & Storage

Fiberglass Care

Washing and waxing the boat hull and deck regularly will extend the life and beauty of your Supra. It is a good routine to rinse your boat with fresh water after each day’s use.

It is recommended that the hull land deck be cleaned and waxed after every 25 hours of use. This will decrease water friction and lesson the potential for staining or spotting on the gelcoat surface.

When the original gelcoat shine cannot be restored by waxing, the shine may be restored by hand buffing with a commercial polishing compound. Be sure to apply a new coat of wax containing Carnauba over the area that has been polished.

IMPORT ANT : Porcelain cleaning powders are too abrasive for use on gelcoat and may cause permanent discoloration if used. Household detergents containing ammonia or chlorine should not be used on gelcoat. Never use acetone or ketone solvents to clean your boat finish.

Rub Rail Care

Use a sponge or other soft material to wash and wax the rub rail. To wax, use a commercial automotive bumper wax.

NOTICE: When tying up to a dock or another boat, always use cushioned fenders (dock bumpers) to protect your boat from hard surfaces.

Washing Your Boat

The easiest way to preserve the beauty of your boat is to keep it clean by frequent washing. Wash the boat with luke warm or cold water. Wipe the boat down immediately after washing to avoid water spots. A void using hot water or washing your boat in direct sunlight. Avoid using strong soaps or chemical detergents. To avoid spotting, all cleaning agents should be thoroughly rinsed from the surface promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish.

Windshield Care

All Supra windshields are constructed of tempered safety glass to ensure passenger safety. The glass surfaces should be cleaned regularly to ensure that visibility is not obstructed.

Use a commercial glass cleaner to remove any spotting or stubborn stains that develop on the windshield. Never use abrasive cleaners on glass surfaces.

Upholstery Care

All upholstery items on your Supra are made of tough marine grade vinyl that is easily cleaned.

It is important to provide for the drying of all upholstery and carpet after each use of the boat. Open all storage compartments and slide all removable cushions out about an inch to allow air to circulate behind.

FOREIGN DEPOSITS

Tree sap, bird droppings, air borne chemicals, petroleum products and other foreign matter may damage the gelcoat surface if not removed promptly (SEE WASHING

INSTRUCTIONS). BOAT HULL PROTECTION

If your Supra is to remain in salt water for an extended period, the hull below the water line should be painted with a marine bottom paint. Bottom paint is also recommended for fresh water locations where the boat is left in the water for extended periods of time.

TEAK WOOD CARE

If teak wood has been installed on your Supra, a small amount of maintenance will be required to retain the natural beauty. Teak wood should not be varnished. Instead, teak oil or mineral oil should be applied. Oil should be applied 3 to 4 times per year. If teak has been allowed to become gray and dry, sand with fine grit paper and reapply teak oil.

Strong detergents and cleaners may shorten the life of the vinyl. PLEASE SEE VINYL MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED CARE GUIDE INCLUDED IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKAGE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW CARE GUIDE MAY VOID VINYL WARRANTY.

Section XI

Winterization & Dry Storage

When the boating and ski season comes to a close, it is recommended that your Supra boat be removed from the water and stored for the winter months.

It is extremely important to follow the proper winterizing procedure. The engine must be correctly winterized for safe storage in your climate. This should be done by a professional. Your Supra dealer will know exactly what must be done to insure the longest possible life for your boat.

In addition to preparing the engine the following tasks should be done to winterize the boat:

1.Remove the center drain plug from the boat.

2.Thoroughly clean the boat inside and out. Inspect the hull for any residue or algae growth and remove if required.

3.Clean the bilge area thoroughly and operate the bilge pump to remove any water from the bilge hose.

4.Remove all seat cushions and open all storage areas to air circulation in the boat interior. When thoroughly dry, replace cushions and close storage areas.

5.Top off fuel tank to prevent any condensation from accumulating in the fuel system. Use a commercially available fuel stabilizer to remove water and prevent gumming.

6.If the boat is stored on its trailer, insure that the boat is properly positioned. If possible lift the tongue so that the bow is slightly raised to promote drainage from the center drain hole.

7.Install the canvas cover and secure the straps in accordance with cover instructions.

NOTE: During the winter months, water is a boat’s worst enemy. Always store the boat when the interior is completely dry. Periodically check on the condition of the stored boat.

Hoisting

Correct Hoisting

If the boat ever needs to be hoisted, special attention should be given to the following recommendations:

- Hoist the boat using a horizontal lifting bar only.

- Never attempt to lift the boat by means of a cable sling from bow to stern lifting eyes.

- Hoist operator should slowly and smoothly lift the boat without jerking to avoid damage to the lifting eyes.

Incorrect Hoisting

DO NOT use the ski pylon to hoist the boat.

Incorrect hoisting may invalidate the warranty on the boat.

DO NOT use the bow eye to hoist boat. Use only a proper sized sling in the designated lifting rings to hoist the boat.

Identification Number

The hull identification number is located on the upper right hand side of the transom below the rub rail.

Section XII

Technical Information

Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation or charging. Sparks or flames can cause this mixture to ignite and explode if it comes near the vent openings. Sulfuric acid in the battery can cause serious burns if spilled on skin or in eyes. Flush with clear water immediately!

Section XIII

Trailering Your Boat

Trailer & Towing

The trailer supplied with your Supra was designed especially for the boat with your convenience in mind. Please be sure that you have an appropriate tow vehicle before attempting to trailer your boat. Your vehicle must be capable of towing 5,000 lbs. and must be fitted with no less than a Class III (5,000 lb. max.) trailer hitch.

Read the trailer towing section of your vehicle owner’s manual before towing your trailer.

All Supra trailers require a 2” ball and a five (5) pin marine grade trailer wiring connector. The standard height from the ground to the top of the hitch ball should be about 20 inches. With the trailer attached to the tow vehicle, the trailer should stand approximately level.

Trailer Plug Wire Schematic

White:Ground Green: Right Turn / Brake Yellow: Left Turn / Brake Brown: Running Lights Blue: Reverse Lights

Connecting the Trailer

When connecting the trailer to your tow vehicle use the following procedure:

1.Raise the tongue with the trailer jack, position the trailer tongue directly over the 2" ball, and lower the jack until the tongue goes all the way down over the ball.

2.Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a “click.” NOTICE: If your hitch ball has an excessive flat spot on top, the latch may not engage properly. If the latch does not catch, check with your dealer or hitch installer before trailering.

3.Insert the locking pin into the tongue. (Lock pin hole is on the side of the tongue)

4.When all weight is off the trailer jack, pull the jack lock pin and rotate the jack to the horizontal position and lock the pin.

5.Attach the safety chains to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross the chains and wrap them around each other once or possibly twice allowing just enough slack to permit tight turns of the vehicle and trailer.

6.Connect the trailer light plug to the tow vehicle connection to activate the lights.

7.Connect the brake safety cable.

NOTE: Supra trailers feature disk brakes. The 5th wire (blue) on the wire connector needs to be connected to your vehicles reverse lights to be operative. This wire (blue) provides power to a solenoid which deactivates the brakes while in reverse. You may still tow your trailer without the blue wire connected, however, you may experience difficulty backing the trailer.

BEFORE USE, READ ALL INFORMA TION SUPPLIED WITH THE TRAILER BY THE MANUFACTURER.

Revised 2-20-02 EHJ

Prolong Trailer Life

Connecting the Trailer (continued)

The following guidelines will prolong the life of the boat and trailer:

1.Always secure the boat to the trailer with tie-downs. Do not place straps around fenders or lights.

2.Always verify that the winch hook is securely in the bow eye, the strap is tight and the winch handle locked in place before trailering.

3.Check the recommended pressure displayed on the side of the tires and assure that it is maintained. Under-inflated tires could cause trailer sway and excessive tire wear.

4.Before use, please read all information supplied with the trailer by the manufacturer (Bearing Buddy , Boat Buddy and hydraulic brake actuator). Check wheel bearing grease.

5.Before operating Boat Buddy, check trigger setting and latch pin location. After loading, check latch pin and confirm that it is properly seated in the eye hook before pulling trailer out of water. Wash Boat Buddy moving parts with high pressure water.

6.Check wheel bearing grease.

7.See Trailer Owner Manual for Maintenance Schedule.

Inadvertent release of latch pin could result in injury!

4.When all weight is off the trailer jack, pull the jack lock pin and rotate the jack to the horizontal position and re-lock the pin.

5.Attach the safety cables to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross the cables and wrap them around each other once or possibly twice allowing just enough slack to permit tight turns of the vehicle and trailer.

6.Plug the trailer lights connector to the vehicle harness.

7.Clip the brake lockout cable to the vehicle hitch.

T railer Alignment

Connecting the Trailer

When connecting the trailer to your tow vehicle use the following procedure:

1. Raise the tongue with the trailer jack, position the trailer tongue directly over the 2" ball, and lower the jack until the tongue goes all the way down over the ball.

2.Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a “click.”

Correct Alignment

When pulling the boat onto the trailer, be sure that it is centered on the trailer.

NOTICE: If your hitch ball has an excessive flat spot on top, the latch may not engage properly . If the latch does not catch, check with your dealer or hitch installer before trailering.

3.Insert the locking pin into the tongue. Lock pin hole is on the side of the tongue.

Incorrect Alignment

The distance between the boat and the wheel runner board should be equal on both sides.

Unloading Procedure

To unload the boat use the following procedure as a guide:

1.Make sure that all drain plugs are securely in place.

2.Unplug light cord before backing into the water.

3.With Bow Eye Hook fastened, retract Boat Buddy latch pin by pulling trigger into “safety” position. (If latch pin is bound, tighten winch to relieve pressure, then pull trigger into “safety” position).

4.With Bow Eye Hook fastened, back the trailer until the water level is approximately 1 inch below the top of the trailer fenders. NOTICE: Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of

water on trailer may be different. (NOTE: Caution on this page!).

5.Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this manual.

6.After starting the engine remove Bow Eye Hook.

7.With engine idling, center steering wheel, engage transmission and slowly pull throttle into reverse. Ease back on the throttle lever until the boat starts to move.

NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use excessive power to free that boat from dry carpet runners. Power off of the trailer only when the boat has floated free.

If the trailer is not submerged to the correct depth, the bow of the boat could drop when powering off incorrectly, possibly damaging the boat.

Loading Procedure

To load the boat on the trailer, position the trailer in the water with approximately 1 inch of the top of the fender showing.

1.Set the Boat Buddy for loading by pulling trigger or latch mechanism into “set” position.

2.Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power as possible, while keeping it centered between the guide poles.

3.Power slowly forward until the bow eye solidly contacts the Boat Buddy and the latch is triggered.

4.Winch hook must be attached to bow eye and tightened before trailering.

DO NOT Power onto the trailer during rough conditions!

Once correctly positioned on the trailer, switch off ignition.

DO NOT OVER POWER onto trailer or damage may occur to the boat and/or the trailer!

The trailer must be positioned for the correct water depth for loading or you may damage the boat. Varying ramp angles require different procedures. In general, the steeper the ramp, the more shallow the trailer should be positioned in the water. Your local dealer can help you understand this, should you require additional assistance.

NOTE: Because your Supra is a direct drive inboard, when

backing up, the stern will have a tendency to drift left or right depending on propeller rotation.
