Section 2

Boating Safety

Important Safety Information!

Your safety, as well as the safety of others with and around you, is a direct result of how you operate and maintain your boat. Read and comprehend this manual. Make sure that you understand all the controls and operating instructions before attempting to operate the boat. Improper operation is extremely dangerous.

The basic safety rules are outlined in this section of the manual. Additional precautions throughout the manual are noted by the following symbols:

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous circumstance, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This is limited to the most extreme situations.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not exhaustive. If a procedure, method, tool or part is not speciﬁcally recommended by Skier’s Choice, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others, and that the boat will not be damaged or made unsafe as a result of your decision.

Safe Boating

Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats, with boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed or have seen a particular activity promoted, do not assume there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or your passengers go out in the boat and engage in any water sport activity, give careful consideration to the risks. Plan ahead. Think twice before you try something new behind your boat or with your boat. Know the limits of you, your passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.

In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be aware as well that there are many sources of information available. Skier’s Choice urges you to pursue additional training, such as safety and seamanship courses oﬀered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadron.

Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that many people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take safety for granted. Think twice. We want all our boat owners and their passengers, friends, and families to have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

US Coast Guard Auxiliary

Boating Safety Course

The purchaser of a new 2010 Supra boat is entitled to a USCGA Boating Safety Course that Supra will pay for. Please see the Certificate in your owner’s packet or your dealer for more details.

REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING, SERVICING OR REPAIRING THE BOAT!

In addition to everyday safety, failure to observe safety recommendations may result in severe personal injury or death to you or to others. Use caution and common sense when operating your boat. Don’t take unnecessary chances!

Be certain that all boat passengers are aware of this information and conform to boat safety principles.

— 6

General Safety Precautions

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.

Remain seated at all times while the boat is in motion.

•

Never stand or allow passengers to stand while the boat is

•

moving. You or others may be thrown from the boat.

•

an adult at all times.

Never operate the boat while under the inﬂuence of alcohol

•

or drugs.

On-board equipment must always conform to the governing

•

federal, state, and local regulations.

Gasoline vapors can explode. Before starting engine, open

•

engine box, check engine compartment for gasoline vapors, and operate blower for at least four 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. Tampering 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 Tower. Rope may loop on inverted tricks. DO NOT sit behind the pulling point of the Rad-A-Cage Tower.

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.

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.

It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure all passengers are

•

seated when the boat is underway.

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

This boat is a high-performance boat and capable of quick

•

and tight turns and changes in direction. It is the driver’s responsibility to operate the boat in a manner to ensure the safety of all passengers.

Boaters must continuously be aware of weather conditions.

Sudden storms, wind, lightning, etc., can unexpectedly put

•

boaters in grave danger. Always check the local weather report before going boating.

To 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.

To avoid serious personal injury, DO NOT operate engine

•

while anyone is on or about the swim platform or in the water near the boat.

It is the driver’s responsibility to determine if weather or other factors have created an unsafe boating environment.

The driver is solely responsible for the consequences of their actions.

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 and USA Waterski when possible.

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.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is produced by gasoline engines and is a component of exhaust fumes.

Shut oﬀ the engine when people are on the swim platform or in the water around the rear of the boat.

Do not do any other activities which puts people in close proximity of the transom when the engine is running.

For the most current information on carbon monoxide, you may call, write or visit on-line any of the following:

Product Misuse

Misuse of the product or use of it in a manner for which it was never intended can create dangerous situations. The driver and passengers are responsible for using the product safely and as intended. The driver must operate the boat in a manner that ensures the safety of all passengers. If you or your passengers are unsure about use of the product, about performing certain boating maneuvers or are unsure about a particular water activity, refer to this manual or contact a knowledgeable source such as your local dealer, Skier’s Choice, Inc., the US Coast Guard, or your local boating authority.

Proper Seating

Contact Information

Proper seating is an important element of boating safety. Proper seating consists of sitting with your buttocks in full contact with a seat anytime the boat is underway and using hand holds and grab handles to secure oneself and prevent loss of balance. Do not sit in locations not designed as a seat. For instance, do not sit on seat backs, do not sit on the sides or gunwale of the boat, and do not sit on the sundeck while the boat is in motion. See examples below of proper sitting positions.

If you have questions regarding the operation of your boat, accessory or options or questions in regard to Boat Safety, contact your dealer or Skier’s Choice, Inc. at 865-983-9924.

The driver must be aware of all passengers’ locations and positions, and passengers must stay alert to changes in direction. THE BOAT IS CAPABLE OF QUICK AND TIGHT TURNS. SUCH MANUEVERS CAN CAUSE UNSEATED OCCUPANTS TO BE THROWN AROUND OR OUT OF THE BOAT. ALERT PASSENGERS BEFORE CHANGES IN DIRECTION.

Section 3

Emergency Procedures

The time to think about emergencies is before they happen. Plan ahead. Know what to do before you encounter any of these situations. Wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) when

boating.

Explosion & Fire

EXPLOSION/FIRE/ASPHYXIATION HAZARD

Open ﬂame cooking appliances consume oxygen. This can

•

cause asphyxiation or death.

Maintain open ventilation.

•

Liquid fuel may ignite, causing severe burns.

•

Use fuel appropriate for type of stove.

•

Turn oﬀ stove burner before ﬁlling.

•

Do not use stove for comfort heating.

•

FIRE/ASPHYXIATION HAZARD - Use special care with ﬂames or high temperatures near urethane foam, if used in construction of your boat. Burning, welding, lights, cigarettes, space heaters and the like can ignite urethane foam. Once ignited, it burns rapidly, producing extreme heat, releasing hazardous gases and consuming much oxygen.

Explosion

If explosion is imminent, put on PFDs, grab distress signals

•

and survival gear, and immediately abandon ship.

Abandoning Ship

BURN HAZARD

Swim against the current or wind if you abandon ship. Leaking fuel will ﬂoat with the current and may ignite.

When clear of danger, account for all who were on board,

•

and help those in need.

Use distress signal.

•

Keep everyone together to make rescue easier.

•

Flooding, Swamping or Capsizing

STAY WITH THE BOAT! A boat will usually ﬂoat even if there

•

is major hull damage. Rescuers can spot a boat much easier than a head bobbing in the water.

Signal for help.

•

Collision

Account for everyone on board.

•

Check for injuries.

•

Inspect structural damage.

•

Reduce ﬂooding.

•

Signal for help.

•

STAY WITH THE BOAT!

•

Fire

Turn oﬀ engines, generators, stoves and blowers. Extinguish

•

smoking materials.

Fixed fire suppression system, if equipped, has heat

•

sensors that automatically flood machinery space with a fire extinguishant. Allow extinguishant to “soak” compartment for at least 15 minutes to cool hot metals or fuel before cautiously inspecting ﬁre area. Have portable ﬁre extinguishers ready. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the ﬁre or extinguishant.

If no ﬁxed ﬁreﬁghting system is installed and ﬁre is in engine

•

compartment, discharge portable ﬁre extinguishers through engine compartment access plate, if equipped. Do not open engine hatch as this feeds oxygen to the ﬁre.

If you have access to ﬁre, direct contents of extinguishers at

•

base of ﬂames, not at the top.

Throw burning materials overboard if possible.

•

Move anyone not needed for ﬁreﬁghting operations away

•

from the ﬂames.

Signal for help.

•

Put on PFDs, grab distress signals and survival gear, and

•

prepare to abandon ship.

Grounding

Action depends on how hard the boat hits bottom and whether the boat remains stranded. If it is a simple touch, you may need only to inspect the hull. If you are aground, assess the situation before reacting. In some cases, throwing the boat into reverse can cause more damage.

Basic Guidelines

Inspect damage to hull, propulsion and steering systems.

•

Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stopping the ﬂow takes

•

priority over getting free.

Determine water depth all around the boat and type of

•

bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). This will help you decide which way to move the boat.

Determine if tide, wind or current will drive the boat harder

•

aground or will help free it.

11 —

Leaks

Immediately switch on bilge pumps.

•

Assign crew to operate manual pumps, if needed.

•

If boat is taking on water, have someone take the helm while

•

you manage damage control.

Slow or stop to minimize inﬂow. However, if you can keep a

•

hole above water by maintaining speed, do so.

If possible, patch the outside with whatever material is

•

available.

Towing

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Towing or being towed stresses the boats, hardware and lines. Failure of any part can seriously injure people or damage the boat.

A recreational boat towing another is usually a last resort because of possible damage to one or both boats. The Coast Guard or a private salvage company is better equipped. A recreational boat may assist by standing by, and possibly keeping the disabled boat’s bow at a proper angle until help arrives. Only when conditions are ideal—that is, waters are calm, disabled boat is small, and one or both skippers know correct technique—should a recreational boat tow another.

Towing Vessel

Be sure your boat will not run aground too.

•

Because you are maneuverable and the grounded boat is not,

•

you should pass the towline to the grounded boat.

Use double-braided or braid-on-braid line. Never use three-

•

strand twisted nylon; it has too much elasticity and can snap back dangerously.

Fasten the towline as far forward as possible on the upwind

•

or up-current side of the towing boat.

Fastening it to the stern will restrict maneuverability of the

•

towing boat.

If possible, use a bridle.

•

Move slowly to prevent sudden strain on slack line.

•

Be ready to cast loose or cut the line if the towing situation

•

becomes hazardous.

Vessel Being Towed

Both Vessels

If you attach the towline to a ﬁtting, be sure the ﬁtting

•

is fastened with a through bolt and is reinforced on the underside.

Creating a bridle with a line around the hull or superstructure

•

will distribute the load over a wide area; pad pressure points. This technique can be used on both the towing and towed boat.

Keep lines clear of propellers on both boats.

•

Keep hands and feet clear of the other boat.

•

Never hold a towline after it is pulled taut.

•

Person Overboard

Immediately sound an alarm and keep pointing to the

•

person overboard.

Throw a life preserver even if the person is wearing a PFD.

•

It will serve as a marker.

Immediately stop or slow the boat, then circle toward the

•

victim.

Keep person overboard on helm side so operator has the

•

person constantly in sight.

Approach from downwind and move alongside into the

•

wind for pickup.

When almost alongside, stop the engine in gear to prevent

•

dangerous propeller “windmilling.”

As part of your emergency plan, consider what to do if you

•

were alone and fell overboard (e.g., wear PFD, keep signal device in PFD, attach emergency stop switch lanyard to yourself).

Drowning

Swim to rescue a drowning victim only as a last resort.

•

Immediate resuscitation is critical! At least two people on

•

board should be certiﬁed in CPR.

Keep the victim warm.

•

Use care in handling. Spinal injury may exist if the victim

•

fell overboard.

Signal for help.

•

Medical Emergency

Attach the towline to the bow eye.

•

If the boat has eyebolts in the transom for pulling skiers, a

•

towline may be attached to a small bridle hooked to both eyebolts.

If it is necessary to be towed after being freed, keep someone

•

at the wheel to steer.

— 12

In an emergency, you may be far from professional medical

•

assistance. Be prepared. Take a ﬁrst aid course, and carry a ﬁrst aid kit. Be aware of special conditions that may aﬀect anyone on board.

Carbon Monoxide

Distress Signals

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, extremely toxic gas. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea and unconsciousness. A poisoning victim’s skin often turns cherry red.

Have the victim breathe fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.

Propulsion, Control or Steering Failure

Shut oﬀ engine.

•

Put out an anchor to prevent drifting.

•

Determine if you can ﬁx the problem yourself. See engine

•

operator’s manual if engine is ﬂooded.

Signal for help.

•

Radio Communication

Radio is the boat operator’s main method of receiving safety information and summoning aid. VHF-FM radio is the primary means of short-range communication. Single sideband radio (SSB) is used for longer range communication.

VHF-FM Channel 16 and SSB 2182 kHz are designated for emergency use. Such situations can be categorized as:

Emergency — “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY ” — Used

•

when a life or vessel is in imminent danger.

Urgency — “PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN” (pronounced

•

PAHN-PAHN) — Used when a person or vessel is in some jeopardy less than indicated by a Mayday call.

Safety — “SECURITY, SECURITY, SECURITY” (pronounced

•

SAY-CURE-IT-TAY) — Used for navigational safety or weather warning.

An emergency situation will be hectic and there will not be time to learn proper radio procedure. LEARN WHAT TO DO

BEFORE YOU NEED TO DO IT.

Consult your national boating law enforcement agency.

Visual Distress Signals

U.S. Coast Guard regulations require boats in coastal waters

•

and the Great Lakes to carry visual distress signals for day or night use, as appropriate for the time of operation. Exempt from the day signals requirement, but not night signals, are boats less than 4.8 meters (16 feet), open sailboats less than

7.9 meters (26 feet), boats participating in organized events, and manually propelled boats.

If you are required to have visual distress signals, at least

•

three safety-approved pyrotechnic devices in serviceable condition must be readily accessible. They must be marked with a date showing the service life, which must not be expired.

Carry three signals for day use and three signals for night use.

•

Some pyrotechnic signals, such as red ﬂares, meet both day and night use requirements.

Store pyrotechnic signals in a cool, dry location. An orange

•

or red watertight container prominently marked “Distress Signals” is recommended.

Other recognized visual distress signals include:

Flames in a bucket

•

Code ﬂags November and Charlie

•

Square ﬂag and ball

•

Black square and ball on orange background ﬂag

•

Orange ﬂag (certiﬁed)

•

Electric distress light (certiﬁed) - for night use only.

•

Dye marker (any color)

•

Person waving arms

•

U.S. ensign ﬂown upside down

•

Audible Distress Signals

U.S. Coast Guard regulations require one hand, mouth or poweroperated whistle or horn, audible for at least a half mile.

If you hear a distress call, stop all radio transmissions. If you can directly assist, respond on the emergency frequency. If you cannot assist, do not transmit on that frequency. However, continue to monitor until it is obvious that help is being provided.

Other recognized audible distress signals include:

Radio communication (see Emergency Procedures - Radio

•

Procedures - Radio Communication)

Radio-telegraph alarm

•

Position indicating radio beacon

•

Morse Code SOS (3 short, 3 long, 3 short) sounded by any

•

means

Fog horn sounded continuously

•

Section 4

Boating Rules

Basic Boating Rules

You 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. You 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.

15 —

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.)

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:

Avoid running engine at high speeds.

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

Vary your boat speed during break-in. Don’t run at the same

3. 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

•

Section 6

Operating Information

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

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.

Starting & Operation

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

Check the engine oil level.

Check for gasoline fumes in bilge or engine compartment.

Operate engine blower for 4 minutes before starting the

3. engine to remove any fumes.

Check manual operation of bilge pump. Make sure bilge

4. 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.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT continue to operate the starter for more

than 15 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.

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

BEFORE STARTING 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

Place shift selector in Neutral with the throttle in the upright

1. (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).

Turn Ignition Key to Start Position to operate the starter.

Release the Key when engine starts (key will return to run

3. position).

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

4. before getting underway.

Shift slowly into forward or reverse, allowing the transmission

5. 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 15 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:

Place shift selector in Neutral and disengage the transmission

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

With the transmission disengaged, push the lever forward to

2. 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).

Turn the Ignition Key to Start Position and operate the starter

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

When the engine starts, back oﬀ the throttle and allow the

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

Return the throttle to idle position and the transmission

5. lockout will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.

When ready to get underway, shift slowly into forward

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

25 —

Engine Warm-Up

Always let engine warm up to normal operating temperature before accelerating.

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 accidentally 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.

Supra Team Rider — Josh Sanders

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 transmission’s engaged, you may accelerate as

•

quickly as you like.

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.

Center Drain Plug -V-Drive Models

Cover Latch

Rear Drain Plug

Drain Plug

On V-drive models the center drain plug is accessed via the access cover in the center ﬂoor panel.

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.

DO NOT start engine until center drain plug is checked and secured in place.

The rear drain plug is located at the back of the boat, near the bottom of the transom (See photo). 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.

DO NOT start the engine until the drain plug is checked and secured in place.

DO NOT try to install the drain plug while the engine is running.

Fuel Precautions Fueling

Use a gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89. The H.O. engine should use a minimum octane rating of 91. See engine owner’s manual for more information.

DO NOT use gasoline containing methyl alcohol (methanol). Methanol can damage your boat’s fuel system.

Gasoline Stabilizer should be added to the fuel tank when the boat is used infrequently or whenever your boat will not be used for two weeks or more. During storage, always add Gasoline Stabilizer to reduce gumming or tank sludge.

E-10 fuels require fuel stabilizers that are specifically designed for E-10 fuels to help prevent moisture absorption, phase separation and gasoline stabilization.

Filling the Tank

Sparks while fueling could cause an explosion!

Before Fueling:

Turn oﬀ engine.

Turn oﬀ ignition.

Extinguish cigarettes or any open ﬂame.

While Fueling:

Keep hose nozzle in contact with ﬁll pipe to provide a

1. ground against static sparks.

Fill tank at a slow rate to avoid any spillage.

Fuel Cap

Be especially careful when ﬁlling the fuel tank. DO NOT over ﬁll the tank. Fuel may empty through the fuel vent and damage to ﬁnishes could result.

If fuel is spilled on stripes or decals, apply a common bath cleaner (nonabrasive) and wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse the spill area with clean water.

— 28

The fuel cap is located on the rear deck near the stern.

NOTE: The cap is sealed by a rubber O-ring. Please do not over tighten.

The 21V, 22V and 24V Series boats, for extra convenience, have a fuel ﬁll on both sides to allow for easy fueling.

Section 8

Instrument Panel

& Controls

This section provides the information needed to understand and operate the VISION Dash System installed on all Supra Boat Models.

The instrument system includes gauges, digital displays, and a Graphical Information Center to communicate vital real-time information about the status and performance of the boat to the driver. By just glancing at the dash, the driver can determine:

Speed Calibration

• Boat Speed

• Zero Oﬀ™

• Smart Plate™

• Depth

• Engine RPM

• Remaining Fuel

• Lake Temperature

• Air Temperature

• Engine Oil Pressure

• Engine Coolant Temperature

• Battery Voltage

(Times are from start gate to end gate)

Speed may be checked using a stopwatch and a standard slalom course.

Speed may also be checked by using a hand-held GPS.

29 —

Tachometer

Speedometer

The tachometer indicates the engine revolutions per minute (RPM).

The speedometer indicates the water speed of the boat in miles per hour. It is recommended that the speedometer be checked

for accuracy periodically. DO NOT exceed the recommended RPM during break-in and normal operation of your motor. Exceeding the manufacturer’s suggested RPM may cause damage to the engine.

Engine Data Displayed on VISION Center Main Page

Oil Pressure Display

The oil pressure display indicates the oil pressure in the engine while the engine is running. If the oil pressure remains below the normal range of 10 to 80 psi, stop the engine immediately. If engine is allowed to run while oil pressure is too low, permanent engine damage may occur.

Running the engine with low oil pressure may cause severe engine damage.

Coolant Temperature Display

The temperature display indicates the engine coolant temperature while the coolant is circulating inside the engine. Engine operating temperatures will vary depending on the weather conditions and engine load. Normal operating temp range is between 160 degrees and 180 degrees.

NOTICE: Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for additional details.

Damage from overheating an engine IS NOT warrantable.

Voltage Display

The voltage displayed indicates the battery voltage when the engine is running or the battery voltage when the engine is stopped. The voltmeter should indicate a voltage between 13 and 16 volts when the engine is running.

Speedometer Paddle Wheel

The Speedometer pickup is a paddle wheel located on the bottom of the boat. Poor water conditions may cause the wheel to become clogged or give incorrect information.

— 30

Fuel Gauge

Trim Gauge

The Fuel Gauge indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

This gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition is in the “ON” position.

NOTICE: DO NOT run the tank to empty. To prevent condensation from forming in the tank, it is recommended that the tank be ﬁlled when the gauge indicates 1/4 tank of fuel remaining.

The following conditions may be considered normal operation of the fuel gauge and fuel system:

Gas station pumps may shut off before the fuel gauge

•

indicates FULL.

The amount of fuel required for fill-up may not exactly

•

correspond to the gauge.

The gauge needle may not move away from FULL until some

•

time after ﬁll-up.

The gauge needle may move around when boat is in

•

motion.

NOTICE: Become familiar with engine hourly fuel consumption at various speeds and know when to check the fuel gauge.

The Trim Gauge indicates the position of the Wake Plate.

Gravity Ballast System

The Gravity Ballast System is an electronically controlled ballast system that can be operated from the driver’s seat. The switch panel to the 3 position system is located directly below the shifter mechanism. Each switch allows independent ﬁlling and draining of each ballast container by simply hitting the ﬁll or drain switch. If the system fails to ﬁll or drain, you may check the resettable breaker on the switch panel, or the separate ballast fuse block located under the dash area. The ballast bags can be found in the front ski locker and in the rear v-drive storage areas depending on the the model and ballast system.

Care should be taken that the ballast bags are situated properly with the hose on the 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.

Each Gravity Ballast System also includes manual shut oﬀ valves 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 the system.

When bags begin to vent, shut oﬀ!

Priming the System

To allow water into the system, the Gravity Ballast System utilizes a impeller pump to force water into the system. This allows the ballast system to be ﬁlled while sitting still or running slowly. If air becomes trapped in the system, it may be necessary to idle the boat and allow the ﬁll pump to prime fully.

Auto Timers

The pumps have a pre-set run time. The pumps will shut oﬀ automatically to prevent overﬁlling. If the switch is turned oﬀ and back on, the pumps will run an additional minute. (See dealer for additional information or reprogramming.)

Propeller

Double-Up Seating

Some Supra models offer Double-Up Seating. This unique seating can be stored ﬂat for easy access to the bow or flipped up for extra rear and forward facing seating. To use this seating, lift and pull the seat back into the locked position. Be sure that the metal arms are locked before applying pressure.

To lay seat back down, simply pull the seat section of the backrest more upright to release the locking mechanism.

Triple-Up Seating

The research and design team at Skier’s Choice has carefully explored and tested many different propellers and pitch angles for use on our boats. All tests indicate that the current propeller installed on your model is the best for the variety of boating performance required, whether skiing competitively or for pleasure.

It is strongly recommended that your Supra dealer be notiﬁed before changing the propeller. In general, changing to a lower pitched propeller may increase acceleration, but will decrease top speed. Changing to a higher pitched propeller may achieve higher top speed with a light load, while acceleration and power may decrease.

Avoid engine damage. Do not exceed the maximum RPM as listed for your motor. Some props may allow the engine to over rev, which can cause non-warrantable engine damage.

Both the 22 and 24 Series boats have “Triple-Up” seating. This unique type of seating can be stored ﬂat or ﬂipped up for extra rear facing seating. To use this seating, lift and pull the seat back into the locked position. Be sure that the metal arms are locked straight before applying pressure.

The bimini top is designed as a sunshade. Please see the mooring cover section for instructions on cleaning and caring for your bimini top. When opening and latching the straps to the eye hooks, twist the strap one to two times to prevent them from vibrating in the wind.

— 58

DO NOT tow the boat above 45 MPH with the bimini top open or the Z5 canvas on the frame. Damage to the canvas may occur. This type of damage is not warrantable.

Battery Box

The battery is mounted inside the observer’s seat storage compartment. Location may vary slightly depending on the model.

NOTICE: It is recommended that the battery cables be disconnected from the battery when the boat is placed in storage.

Avoid damage or injury from battery acid. Ensure that the battery is properly secured before using boat.

Dual Battery Option Hookup

The dual battery option is designed to give you extra battery power to run accessories, but at the same time give you a safety feature not commonly found in a dual battery setup. The Supra Dual battery option features a Voltage Sensitive Relay, which always monitors the engine starting battery, so that your engine will always restart.

We recommend that the selector switch always be set to “1”. In the “1” position, the Voltage Sensitive Relay monitors the engine starting battery, which will ensure that you have a fully charged battery to start your boat. The “House” or “Accessory” battery may become drained during a high discharge cycle since it does not get charged until the starting battery is fully charged.

In position “1” when the sensed battery (engine starting battery) reaches 13.7 volts, the relay closes and parallels both batteries. When this happens the LED light on Voltage Sensitive Relay comes on.

In position “2” the sensed battery is the accessory battery. We do not recommend using this position since it can cause the starting battery to drain, which would not allow the engine battery to have enough power to restart your boat.

In position “both”, the batteries are paralleled and in a high discharge cycle, both batteries can become drained, which would not allow the engine battery to have enough power to restart your boat.

NOTE: It is recommended that you fully recharge your batteries using a battery charger periodically or after a session of high discharge (lots of accessories running for an extended period).

Cooler

Some Supra models oﬀer built-in coolers. They have drain holes that drain water into the bilge. Be sure to thoroughly clean the cooler and allow it to dry after each use to prevent mold and mildew.

Optional Tower Speakers

The optional tower speaker and light bar combo is a unit that houses both an additional set of tower speakers and lights. The speakers are designed to allow the rider to be able to hear the music. The tower speakers require the addition of an ampliﬁer to power the speakers. The tower lights are designed to make docking, loading and unloading easier. The tower lights require the addition of a dual-battery electrical system.

Wakeboard Racks

NOTE: Tower lights are not to be used as running lights at night. USCG regulations mandate that a boat under power after sunset must display a 360 degree white light and a red/green bow light.

It is illegal to wakeboard, ski, tube, etc., after sunset and before sunrise in most states. It has been outlawed because it is dangerous. Tower lights do not make these activities legal or safe.

Some lakes have noise restriction ordinances. The use of tower speakers may not be allowed in your area. Please check all applicable laws in your area regarding noise level restrictions.

Transom Mount Stereo Remote

Wakeboard racks are a convenient way to transport and store wakeboards while using your boat.

Supras have swing arm wakeboard racks for easier loading and unloading of boards. The swing arm has a stop at 0 , 90, and 180 degrees. To operate, pull the pin and rotate the wakeboard rack. Reinstall the pin to ensure rack does not rotate unexpectedly.

The models with steps come standard with an air inﬂator. It is a high volume, low pressure pump designed speciﬁcally for tubes, air mattresses, etc. To use the pump, pull the unit out of its storage compartment located to the rear of the walk through area and plug the cord into the 12 volt receptacle. Connect the hose of the inﬂator to air input on inﬂatable object and turn on.

DO NOT leave air inﬂator running unattended.

Optional Water Strainer

Optional Fresh Water Cooling System

The optional engine water strainer is a ﬁlter for the engine cooling water. It is recommended for boats that are going to be operated in weedy conditions or other areas where debris could clog the engine. It consists of a stainless steel mesh ﬁlter inside a clear cup. It is located between the water intake on the bottom of the boat and the engine’s raw water pump. It should be checked periodically for debris as conditions dictate. To remove debris, unscrew the clear sight cup, remove the o-ring and stainless steel mesh ﬁlter and proceed to rinse out the cup. Be sure to reinstall the mesh ﬁlter and o-ring before reattaching the sight cup to the inlet.

Optional Walk-Through Curtain

Some Supra models oﬀer an optional walk-through curtain that snaps into the front walk-through to help prevent cool air from ﬂowing into the cockpit area.

Optional CD Changer

The optional 10 disc CD changer is mounted to the ﬂoor of the boat and is controlled using the stereo controls. It can also be controlled by the stereo remote. Please see CD changer owner’s manual for more information.

The optional fresh water cooling system has a heat exchanger which allows the engine to have an antifreeze mixture which circulates in the engine. For more information, see your engine owner’s manual.

Optional Fresh Water Flush

The optional Fresh Water Flush kit is a valve specifically designed to allow you to attach a garden hose to your engine water intake to ﬂush brackish or salt water out of your engine. To use the Fresh Water Flush, simply attach a garden hose to the valve. Turn on the water to the valve. Start the engine. Monitor the exhaust ports on the transom of your boat and engine temperature gauge. Water should come out of the exhaust ports while the engine is running. It is recommended that you run the engine at a low RPM while ﬂushing, since the engine’s raw water pump at higher RPMs can pump more water than the garden hose can supply. If you have questions on the operation of your Fresh Water Flush kit, consult your Supra Dealer.

Fuel Precautions

Sparks while fueling could cause an explosion!

Filling the Tank

NOTICE: Pay careful attention when ﬁlling the fuel tank. DO NOT overﬁll the tank! Fuel may empty through the fuel vent and damage the outside ﬁnish.

Before Fueling:

Turn oﬀ engine.

Turn oﬀ all electrical systems.

Extinguish cigarettes or any open ﬂame.

While Fueling:

Keep fuel hose nozzle in contact with ﬁll pipe to provide

1. grounding.

Fill tank at a slow rate to avoid spills.

If fuel is spilled on stripes or decals, apply a common bath cleaner (non-abrasive) and wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse spill area with clean water.

Fuel Fill

The fuel cap is located in the middle of the rear of the boat. To remove cap, flip the tap down and twist off counterclockwise.

NOTE: The cap is sealed by a rubber o-ring. Please do not overtighten.

NOTE: The 21V, 22V and 24V Series boats, for extra convenience, have a fuel ﬁll on both sides to allow for easy fueling.

— 64

Fuel Vent

The fuel vent is a part of the gas ﬁller neck. This vent is connected to the fuel tank via the vent hose, which releases gasoline fumes from the fuel tank.

Gasoline vapors are highly explosive.

Fuel Tank Pump

Your boat contains a fuel system that is designed using current fuel delivery technology. The common terminology for this type of system is: Pump in Tank.

The following USCG information is important to

your safety and safe operation of the boat:

”THIS BOAT COMPLIES WITH U.S. COAST GUARD SAFETY STANDARDS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF CERTIFICATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CERTAIN FUEL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS FUEL INJECTED ENGINE AS AUTHORIZED BY U.S. COAST GUARD GRANT OF EXEMPTION (CGB 09-003). MAINTENANCE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THIS BOAT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY EXPERIENCED TECHNICIANS USING IDENTICAL FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.”

“SERVICE OF THE ENGINE INSTALLED IN THIS BOAT REQUIRES SPECIAL TOOLS, TRAINING AND GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM SKIER’S CHOICE, INC. THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY A SKIER’S CHOICE TRAINED CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT AT TEMPT TO SERVICE THE SYSTEM YOURSELF.”

The system consists of a dual high pressure pump canister that is mounted inside the fuel tank. On the top of the canister there is a fuel pressure regulator. The engine’s fuel lines are connected to the in tank fuel pump via a specially designed shielded, ﬂexible high pressure fuel hose. This hose is pressurized. This system requires special tools and knowledge to service and maintain and as such is not owner serviceable.

The fuel ﬁlter for the boat’s fuel delivery system is in the fuel tank. This style ﬁlter system is considered a lifetime ﬁlter under normal circumstances.

The pump in tank fuel delivery system uses the fuel to lubricate and cool the fuel pumps. Running the pumps with very low fuel levels or running the pumps without fuel in the tank can induce air into the pumps which may shorten the fuel pump’s longevity. This type of fuel pump damage is not warrantable.

65 —

Docking Lights

The docking lights are designed to help you dock, load and unload your boat in low light or at night.

NOTE: Docking lights are not to be used as running lights at night. USCG regulations mandate that a boat under power after sunset must display a 360 degree white light and a red/green bow light.

Optional Automatic Fire Suppression System

The optional Automatic Fire Suppression System has a sensor in the engine compartment that is designed to detect a ﬁre. Under normal conditions, the dash area warning light will glow green when the ignition is “ON”. If the engine compartment sensor is activated by a ﬁre, it will deploy the content of it’s ﬁre extinguisher and the dash mounted warning light will turn red.

This inspection and maintenance schedule is recommended for average operating conditions in normal service. Under severe operating conditions or service, intervals should be shortened.

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.

SALT WATER 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.

Component Lubrication

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

— 68

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 10-20 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, use a 15W-40 motor oil with an A.P.I. classiﬁcation rating of SL/SJ/CI4/Ch4/CG4 or equivalent.

REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL for more information.

V-Drive Remote Oil Filter

Oil Level Check

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.

V-Drive engine remote oil filter is mounted in the engine compartment for convenience.

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.

69 —

Transmission Level Check

V-Drive Fluid Check

Use only automatic transmission ﬂuid type “A” in transmissions with 1:1 drive train. Refer to Engine Owner’s Manual.

Change Frequency

Change transmission ﬂuid every year, using only Dextron-III Mercon automatic transmission ﬂuid.

Maintaining Fluid Level

Transmission ﬂuid level should be checked regularly and ﬂuid added if necessary. Maintain ﬂuid levels as follows:

Boat must be at rest.

•

Engine should be at operating temperature, but turned oﬀ

•

while checking level.

Remove transmission dipstick.

•

Wipe ﬂuid clean from dipstick and replace.

•

Remove dipstick and note level indicated by the upper and

•

lower marks.

- If required, add ﬂuid to bring the level to the upper mark.

•

The ﬂuid level can be checked by using the oil level gauge, which is located on top of the V-Drive unit. This unit is located under the center cushion of the rear seat. Pull out the cushion to access the transmission.

Pull the oil level gauge to check the ﬂuid level. If the level is low, add ﬂuid to the correct mark on the dipstick. Use SAE 30 motor oil.

NOTE: Only a trained and qualified technician should perform the oil change on your V-drive unit.

Change Frequency

The oil should be changed in the V-drive unit after the ﬁrst 100 hours of operation, then each year at the end of your boating season.

Maintaining Fluid Level

V-Drive unit ﬂuid level should be checked regularly and ﬂuid added if necessary. Maintain ﬂuid levels as follows:

Boat must be at rest.

•

Engine should be at operating temperature, but turned oﬀ

•

while checking level.

Remove ﬂuid dipstick.

•

Wipe ﬂuid clean from dipstick and replace.

•

Battery Cable

Installation & Precautions

Your battery is an important part of your boat. It provides all the power to start your boat and allows all of your electrical components (bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.) to work even if the motor is not running.

Because of its important role, Supra recommends using a good quality “Marine Dual Purpose” battery. The “Dual Purpose” rating means that it can provide the cranking Amps needed to start your motor, yet it also has an Amp hour discharge rating so it can handle low electrical drawdown cycle.

Sulfuric acid in the battery can cause serious burns. If spilled on skin or in eyes, ﬂush with clean water immediately, then seek medical attention.

Your Supra electrical system is a negative ground type. The negative battery cable is grounded to the engine block. The positive battery cable is connected to the starter solenoid.

Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the positive (+) post on the battery. Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the negative (-) post on the battery.

Failure to connect battery cables as outlined will damage the system and void the warranty.

Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation and charging. Sparks or ﬂames near the battery vent openings can cause the mixture to ignite and explode.

Dripless Shaft Seal

Your Supra comes standard with a dripless shaft seal. If any seepage occurs, contact your dealer.

Section 11

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 and 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.

IMPORTANT: 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. Avoid 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.

73 —

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, airborne 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 the water for an extended period, the hull below the water line should be painted with a marine bottom paint. Boats left in the water for extended periods of time without bottom paint may experience blistering or discolorization. This type of damage is not covered by your boat’s warranty.

Teakwood Care

If teakwood has been installed on your Supra, a small amount of maintenance will be required to retain the natural beauty. Teakwood 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.

Drying Upholstery

Damage caused by improper care, cleaning agents, conditioner oils, waxes, gasoline, etc., IS NOT covered under your boat’s warranty. Use only the recommended vinyl cleaner as listed on the Vinyl Care Instruction Sheet.

Please refer to www.syntecind.com for more information regarding vinyl care.

Wet Slipping Boats

In the event of large storms, boats in wet slips are more likely

•

to be damaged.

If you do not use the boat often, the battery can go dead

•

from pumping out water.

The boat may develop organic growth which can greatly

•

reduce performance, attack and discolor the gelcoat.*

The boat may develop osmotic blisters.*

•

The boat may get a stain line which cannot be removed.*

•

* Painting the area below the waterline of the boat with Interlux or Pettit products will reduce the likelihood of these last three.

Section 12

Winterization

& Dry Storage

Winterization

When the boating and ski season comes to a close, it is important to have your boat professionally winterized.

If your boat is exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), it is possible for water in the engine, ballast system, heater core, etc., to freeze. As this water freezes, it expands and can crack pumps, valves, heat exchangers, engine blocks, etc. This type of damage usually requires the replacement of the cracked item and can be very expensive to repair.

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 ensure the longest possible life for your boat.

In addition to having your boat professionally winterized, the following tasks should be done to protect your boat during storage:

Remove the drain plug from the boat.

Thoroughly clean the boat inside and out. Inspect the hull

2. for any residue or algae growth and remove if required.

Clean the bilge area thoroughly and operate the bilge pump

3. to remove any water from the bilge hose.

Remove all seat cushions and open all storage areas to air

4. circulation in the boat interior. When thoroughly dry, replace cushions and close storage areas.

Top off fuel tank to prevent any condensation from

5. accumulating in the fuel system. Use a commercially available fuel stabilizer to remove water and prevent gumming.

If the boat is stored on its trailer, ensure that the boat is

6. properly positioned. If possible, lift the tongue so that the bow is slightly raised to promote drainage from the drain hole.

Install the canvas cover and secure the straps in accordance

7. with cover instructions.

Summerization

Before using the boat after it has been in dry storage requires some special treatment. Supra recommends having your boat professionally summerized, preferably by the same facility that prepped it for storage. They will be familiar with what items were done in the fall and what items need to be addressed in the spring.

In addition to having your boat professionally summerized, the following list of tasks should be done to ensure a successful start to your boating season.

Check Trailer Tire Pressure Bearing Lube Lights

Charge Battery Clean & Wax Gel Coat Clean Interior

Check All Systems Blower Bilge Pump Navigation Lights Interior Lights

When launching the boat for the ﬁrst time of the season, carefully watch all gauges to ensure that the boat is not overheating, the alternator is charging and the engine has proper oil pressure.

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.

Damage due to improper winterization IS NOT covered under your boat’s warranty.

E-10 fuels require fuel stabilizers that are specifically designed for E-10 fuels to help prevent moisture absorbtion, phase separation and gasoline stabilization.

75 —

Temporary 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.

Use only a proper sized sling in the designated lifting rings to hoist the boat.

NOTE: For boat houses, we highly recommend the use of a lifting cradle. Cradle bunk design should mimic the bunk design of the trailer.

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

Prolong Trailer Life

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

Always secure the boat to the trailer with tie-downs. Do not

1. place straps around fenders or lights.

Always verify that the winch hook is securely in the bow

2. eye, the strap is tight and the winch handle locked in place before trailering.

Check the recommended pressure displayed on the side of

3. the tires and assure that it is maintained. Under-inﬂated tires could cause trailer sway and excessive tire wear.

Before use, please read all information supplied with the

4. trailer by the manufacturer (Bearing Buddy, Boat Buddy and hydraulic brake actuator). Check wheel bearing grease.

Before operating Boat Buddy, check trigger setting and latch

5. 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.

Check wheel bearing lube.

See Trailer Owner’s Manual for Maintenance Schedule.

NOTE: Supra trailers feature disk brakes. The 5th wire (blue) on the wire connector needs to be connected to your vehicle’s 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.

Inadvertent release of latch pin could result in injury.

79 —

Connecting the Trailer

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

Raise the tongue with the trailer jack. Position the trailer

1. tongue directly over the 2” ball, and lower the jack until the tongue goes all the way down over the ball.

Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a

2. “click.”

Trailer Alignment

Correct Alignment

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

Incorrect Alignment

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.

Insert the locking pin into the tongue. Lock pin hole is on

3. the side of the tongue.

When all weight is oﬀ the trailer jack, pull the jack lock pin

4. and rotate the jack to the horizontal position and re-lock the pin.

Attach the safety cables to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross the

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

Plug the trailer lights connector to the vehicle harness.

Clip the brake lockout cable to the vehicle hitch.

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

— 80

Unloading Procedure

Loading Procedure

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

Make sure that all drain plugs are securely in place.

Unplug light cord before backing into the water.

With Bow Eye Hook fastened, retract Boat Buddy latch pin by

3. pulling trigger into “safety” position. (If latch pin is bound, tighten winch to relieve pressure, then pull trigger into “safety” position).

With Bow Eye Hook fastened, back the trailer until the water

4. 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!).

Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this

5. manual.

After starting the engine, remove Bow Eye Hook.

With engine idling, center steering wheel, engage

7. 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 the 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.

Roll driver’s side window of tow vehicle down prior to backing down ramp. Should the vehicle slip into the water, the driver can escape through open window.

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

Set the Boat Buddy for loading by pulling trigger or latch

1. mechanism into “set” position.

Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power

2. as possible, while keeping it centered between the guide poles.

Power slowly forward until the bow eye solidly contacts the

3. Boat Buddy and the latch is triggered.

Winch hook must be attached to bow eye and tightened

4. 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.

See trailer owner’s manual for additional product information, safety information and warnings.

Tandem Axle

Some models come standard with a tandem axle trailer and with some it is an option.

LED Package

The LED lighting package replaces the traditional trailer lights with LED lights. The LED lights are brighter than the traditional lights.

NOTE: Vehicles with trailer light monitors may not function properly with LED lights due to the low resistance of the LED lights. Aftermarket resistor packages are available, which allow the monitors to work properly.

Aluminum Step Plate

Aluminum Wheels

The optional aluminum wheels are a trailer grade wheel. They are a great way to dress up your trailer.

World’s Edition Wheels

The optional aluminum step plate gives the trailer a durable, long-lasting nonskid surface on the trailer steps.

Laser Cut Steps

The optional laser cut steps are backlit, so they illuminate when the trailer’s running lights are illuminated.

The Gravity Games Edition 24SSV and World’s Edition comes with custom wheels.

NOTE: See trailer packet for more information regarding tire size and rating.

Spare Tire Bracket

The optional spare tire bracket allows you to conveniently carry a spare tire.
