Sport Boat Owner’s Manual

INTRODUCTION

WelcomeAboard! This manual has been produced with the recreational boater in

mind, as a guide to safe operating practices, general boating regulations and

proper maintenance techniques. Included with this manual may be manufacturer

literature for the engine, trailer and other major components. To ensure each boat-

ing experience is a safe and enjoyable one, please read all the materials carefully

before operating your newly purchased craft.

If this is your ﬁrst time owning or operating this style of boat, it is recommended

you contact your dealer or local boating agency to ﬁnd out how to enroll in a

boater safety course prior to taking to the water. Please keep this manual onboard

for future reference and pass it along to the new owner if you ever decide to sell

the craft.

Because of our policy of continuous product improvement, the illustrations used

in this manual may not be the same as on your boat and are intended only as rep-

resentative reference views.

Identiﬁcation Numbers

Safeguard information about your boat by recording the Hull Identiﬁcation Num-

ber (HIN) and model of your boat, and model and serial numbers of the engine,

trailer, and accessories on the inside front cover of this manual. The HIN is

located on the upper, starboard corner of the transom. The HIN must be clearly

visible and may not be removed, altered or tampered with in any way as regulated

by federal law.

The identiﬁcation numbers are important! Keep a copy of these numbers stored in

a safe place off the boat. In case of theft, damage, etc., report these numbers to the

local authorities, your insurance agent and your dealer.

CHAPTER 1: BOATING SAFETY 1-1

Sport Boat Owner’s Manual

CHAPTER 1: BOATING SAFETY

The popularity of boating and other water sports has undergone an explosion of

growth in the past few years. Because of this, safety is an important issue for

everyone who shares in the use of our waterways.

This section covers general boating safety information. Throughout this manual

speciﬁc precautions and symbols identify safety related information.

The SafetyAlert Symbol meansATTENTION! BECOMEALERT!YOUR

SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Indicates the presence of a hazard whichWILL cause SEVERE injury,

death or substantial property damage.

Indicates the presence of a hazard which CAN cause SEVERE injury,

death or substantial property damage.

Indicates the presence of a hazard whichWILL or CAN cause MINOR

or MODERATE personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE

Indicates installation, operation or maintenance information which is

important but not hazard-related.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a pro-

cedure, method, tool or part is not speciﬁcally recommended, 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. REMEMBER – ALWAYS USE COM-

MON SENSE WHEN OPERATINGYOUR BOAT!

Boating Regulations

The U.S. Coast Guard is the authority of the waterways; they are there to help the

boating public. State boating regulations are enforced by local authorities.You are

subject to marine trafﬁc laws and “Rules of the Road” for both federal and state

waterways; you must stop if signaled to do so by enforcement ofﬁcers, and permit

to be boarded if asked.

There are many pamphlets, prepared by the Coast Guard, available to you. These

pamphlets explain “Rules of the Road”, signal lights, buoys, safety, international

and inland regulations and much more than is presented in this manual. For more

information contact your local U.S. Coast Guard Unit or call the Coast Guard

Customer Infoline at 1-800-368-5647.

Boat Safety Labels

Your boat is afﬁxed with various safety labels at the time of manufacture. These

labels appear at speciﬁc locations on the craft where safety is of particular con-

cern. Safety labels must remain legible. If you suspect a label is missing or one

becomes damaged, contact your dealer for immediate replacement.

Boater Responsibilities

Registration

The U.S. Coast Guard requires that all power boats operated on the navigable

waters of the United States must be registered in the state of main use; also, many

States require registration in that state whenever boating on waters within their

state boundary. Always contact your state boating authorities (and neighboring

states) for registration information on boats and trailers.Your dealer can supply

you with the appropriate forms.

Education

This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of boat

operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this boat seek additional

training on boat handling and safety. Some states require youths 16 years of age

and younger to complete a boating safety course before operating any watercraft.

Many others require operators under the age of 18 to be licensed in small boat

operation.

The following is a listing of some of the agencies and organizations that offer

safety training or information. To ﬁnd boating safety courses in your area, call

your state’s local boating agency or the Coast Guard boating safety Courseline at

1-800-336-2628 (1-800-245-2628 in Virginia).

• American Red Cross • U.S. Power Squadrons

• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary • State Boating Ofﬁces

Insurance

You must get insurance before operating your new boat. Loss by ﬁre, theft or

other causes, or liability protection against accidents is a must for responsible

boaters. The boat owner is legally responsible for any damage or injury caused

when he, or someone else operating the boat, is involved in an accident. Many

states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs.Your insurance agent or your

dealer may be able to supply you with more information.

Required Safety Equipment

Your boat has been equipped at the factory with most federally required Class 1

[4.8 m (16 ft.) to less than 7.9 m (26 ft.)] safety equipment for

inland

waters.

NOTICE

Many state equipment requirements go beyond Coast Guard require-

ments. Contact your state boating ofﬁce for further information.

Equipment requirements for coastal and inland waters differ. Check

with local authorities or the Coast Guard for further information

about coastal water requirements.

CHAPTER 1: BOATING SAFETY 1-3

Sport Boat Owner’s Manual

Personal Floatation Devices

Federal law also requires at least one Type I, II, III or V

Personal Floatation Device (PFD) for each person on

board or being towed, and at least one Type IV throwable

PFD in the boat.

As the owner, it is your responsibility

to obtain PFDs and other mandatory safety equip-

ment not provided by the boat manufacturer, and to

ensure all equipment is kept in good, serviceable

condition.

PFDs are intended to help save lives. Therefore, you and

your passengers should wear a PFD whenever boating. It

is especially important that children and non-swimmers

wear a PFD at all times. Make certain all passengers

know how to put on and properly adjust their PFDs.Also,

selecting the proper type PFD for your kind of outing

helps ensure your time on the water can be the safest pos-

sible. There are four types of PFDs to wear and one type

used for throwing in emergency situations.

Type I: Most buoyant PFD and effective on all waters,

especially open, rough water.

Type II: Good for calm water near shore on most inland

waters where quick rescue is likely.

Type III: Good for most inland water applications where

quick rescue is likely. Come in various styles

and some are designed for watersport activi-

ties.

Type IV: Intended for heavy trafﬁc inland waters where

help is always available. Designed to be thrown

to a person in the water and should never be

worn.

Type V: Inﬂatable design for special use activities and

may be used instead of a Type I, II, or III PFD

if used in accordance with the approval condi-

tions on the label and if worn when the boat is

underway. Some Type V PFDs provide

increased protection against hypothermia.

NOTICE

• If a Type V PFD is to be counted toward the

minimum carriage requirements, it must be

worn.

• Special PFDs are available for skiing and

other watersports. These PFDs are con-

structed with materials suitable for high

impact falls.

Keep the following PFD points in mind:

• Set an example and wear your PFD. Require your passengers to wear them

also.

• Make sure the PFD ﬁts properly; this is especially important for children and

non-swimmers.

• At the beginning of each season, check PFDs for damage and test for proper

ﬂotation.

Fire Extinguisher

At least one approved B-1 portable ﬁre extinguisher is

required on most boats. Make sure all passengers know

the location and operating procedure for each ﬁre extin-

guisher.

Visual Distress Signals

Federal law also requires boats 4.8 m (16 ft.) and longer to

carry day and night visual distress signals when operating

on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas or those

waters directly connected to them, up to a point where the

body of water is less than two miles wide.

NOTICE

Some signaling devices (pyrotechnics) are restricted from use on cer-

tain bodies of water, so always check with local authorities.

Recommended Equipment

As a precaution, a good boater will avoid potential

problems on an outing by having additional equip-

ment on board. Normally, this equipment is depen-

dent on the body of water and the length of the trip,

your dealer can assist you:

• First aid kit and manual

• Anchor with at least 23 m (75 ft.) of line

• Mooring lines and fenders

• Bailing device (bucket, hand pump, etc.)

• Combination oar/boat hook

• Day/night visual distress signal

• Lubricant

• Tool kit

• Spare propeller, nut and washer

• Spare fuses

• Local charts and compass

• Waterproof ﬂashlight

• Portable AM/FM radio with weather band

• Spare ﬂashlight and radio batteries

• Sunglasses and sun block

Emergencies

Be prepared to deal with emergencies before they happen. Try to formulate a plan

for each type in advance so that decisions can be made quickly and without hesita-

tion. Precious moments lost can mean the difference between losing and saving a

life.

Reporting Accidents

The U.S. Coast Guard requires the owner or operator of a boat involved in an acci-

dent to report the incident to the proper marine law enforcement agency for the

State in which the accident occurred. Immediate notiﬁcation to the nearest State

boating authority is required if a person dies or disappears as a result of a recre-

ational boating accident. If a person dies or injuries requiring more than ﬁrst aid

are involved, a formal report must be ﬁled within 48 hours of the accident.A for-

mal report must be ﬁled within 10 days for accidents exceeding $500 in property

damage or complete loss of boat.

Giving Assistance

If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must assume it is a

real emergency and render assistance immediately. By law, the operator in charge

of the craft is obligated to provide assistance to any individual in danger if such

assistance can be provided safely. Failure to render assistance can result in a ﬁne

and/or imprisonment.

The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to a “Good Samaritan” boater pro-

viding good faith assistance, and absolves a boater from any civil liability arising

from such assistance.

Fires

Most ﬁres are the result of gasoline

and oil accumulating in the bilge

from careless fueling practices. Use

the ﬁre extinguisher at the

base of

the ﬂames

using a sweeping motion.

Prudent and accurate use of the avail-

able chemicals should contain all but

the worst ﬁres.Verify that the ﬁre has

been extinguished. If so, check dam-

age and get assistance immediately.

If not, get out and swim at least

23 meters (25 yards) upwind from

the boat and use the visual distress

signals to get assistance.

On board ﬁres involving the fuel system usually result in either an explosion that

completely destroys the boat, or the boat burning to the waterline and self extin-

guishing. Deciding on abandoning the boat or staying to ﬁght the ﬁre is difﬁcult

and depends on many factors.

Try to formulate a ﬁre plan in advance to make

that decision quickly and without hesitation.

KC-0160

1-6 CHAPTER 1: BOATING SAFETY

Sport Boat Owner’s Manual

Gasoline will ﬂoat on top of water and can burn. If the boat is aban-

doned, swim up wind, far enough to avoid fuel that may spread over

the surface of the water to avoid serious injury.

Capsizing and Swamping

A boat may capsize or swamp when least expected. Like ﬁres, try to formulate a

plan in advance on what to do if it should happen. Keep in mind the following

guidelines:

• Try to turn the engine OFF to pre-

vent damage.

• If others were on board, try to locate

them, make sure they’re conscious

and that they can swim.

•

Stay with the boat, it will ﬂoat!

Climb up on the hull and try to get

assistance.

• Don’t try to swim to shore. It’s usu-

ally further than it looks.

Hazardous Conditions

Every waterway poses hazards that you should avoid; shallow water, tree stumps,

sand bars, etc. Ask local boaters for information and consult a marine chart when

boating on unfamiliar waters.As the operator of the boat, you should try to avoid

all hazards, known and unknown. The following information does not contain all

possible water hazards.

Weather

Getting caught in severe weather is

hazardous. Check with local

weather stations, the U.S. Coast

Guard, or Weather service broad-

casts (162.55 or 162.40 Megahertz)

for the latest conditions. It is recom-

mended to check the weather not

only before but periodically while

you are boating.

Dam Spillways

The water around a dam spillway is a hazardous area. It is subject to rapid

changes. Boaters must keep clear of the spillway areas below dams.

Weeds

Weeds are generally a threat to your boat’s engine. Weeds on the propeller may

cause the engine to vibrate. They may also restrict water intake causing the engine

to overheat. If you run into weeds, stop the engine and clear the propeller and

water intake completely of weeds. Consult the engine operating manual for more

information.

KC-0210

OK !

CHAPTER 1: BOATING SAFETY 1-7

Sport Boat Owner’s Manual

NOTICE

Weeds can sometimes be removed by shifting to neutral, pausing a

moment, then shifting to reverse to unwind the weeds from the propel-

ler.

Shallow Water Operation

Operating in shallow water presents a number of hazards. Water of any depth may

contain stump ﬁelds, sand bars, rocks, or other unmarked underwater hazards.

Sand bars in narrow inlets are constantly shifting, making it difﬁcult to mark them

with buoys. Sometimes, sand bars are indicated by waves as they form into break-

ers when passing over the sand bar. If you ground the boat on a sand bar, seek help

from another boater.

If the engine strikes an underwater hazard, check for boat and engine damage. If

the engine vibrates excessively after striking an underwater obstruction, it may

indicate a damaged propeller.

Warning Markers

It is a good idea to ask local authorities if

there are hazardous areas and how they are

marked. Boaters must also recognize the ﬂag

designs which indicate that skin divers are

present and keep well clear of the area.

Watch for swimmers. Swimming areas may

not be marked. Steer clear from the area and

always remain alert.
