Page 179: Getting Underway
There are many things to consider to make your boating trip safe and enjoyable. You are responsible for the safety of all passengers, the boat and any damage the boat or its wake may cause. Keep passengers from blocking your view so that you do not run into other boats, swimmers, water skiers, personal water vehicles or aids to navigation.
Page 180: Safety Equipment
Turn the engine OFF and DO NOT smoke or allow open flames or sparks within 50 feet (15 meters) of the fueling area. Check your boat for fuel leaks and fumes before, during and after each use. Maintain contact between the fuel nozzle and the fuel tank to prevent electrostatic spark.
Page 181: Gasoline Containing Alcohol
DO NOT use fuels rated higher than E10. Ethanol fuels rated higher than E10 could potentially damage the engine and/or present an unsafe boat fuel system. Damage to the engine resulting from the use of ethanol fuel rated higher than E10 IS NOT covered by the engineʼs warranty.

Page 183: Boarding
Board one person at a time. DO NOT board the boat while carrying gear. Set the gear on the dock, board the boat and then pick up the gear. Use the boarding platform to board from the water. To prevent injury, make sure the engine is OFF when swimmers, divers and skiers are boarding or even near the platform.
Page 184: Pre-Operation Checks
Checking these items periodically will soon become a habit. If leaks or other abnormal conditions are found, stop using the boat and contact your Nautique dealer to have the problem corrected. Get into the habit of performing these checks in the same order each time so that it becomes routine.

V-Drive Sec 7_2010.qxp:Naut Air Sec 7.qxd Section 7 Freezing Temperatures When the boat is removed from the water, drain the cooling and heater system (as equipped) completely. Anchoring There are many types of anchors available on the market. The choice of one anchor over another depends on many factors. An anchor will usually hold best in a mixture of mud and clay or in hard sand.
Page 199: Dropping Anchor
• Make sure the line is tied to the anchor and tie the other end to the forward cleat or bow eye. • Head the boat into the wind or current over the spot where you want to lower the anchor. Spot the boat before lowering the anchor.
Page 200: Weighing (Pulling In) Anchor
If the anchor remains caught, let out a few more feet of line and attach it to the bow cleat. Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor until the anchor pulls loose. Be sure to keep the line tight during this procedure.
Page 201: Performance Boating
Your Nautique boat is a high performance boat. DO NOT be tempted to push your boat to its limits until you are completely familiar with its operating characteristics. Nautique boats are the ones of choice of the better professional and amateur ski shows and tournaments.

V-Drive Sec 8_2010.qxp:Naut Air Sec 8.qxd Section 8 4. When servicing the ignition switch or any wiring, always disconnect the battery cables from the battery. 5. Check for water circulation when the engine is running. Exhaust should contain steady flow of water. In closed cooling systems, make sure the coolant in the cooling system is at the proper level.
Page 205: Bilge Pumps
Bilge Pumps Check your bilge pumps often to make sure they are operating efficiently. There are two bilge pumps: one is at the rear of the boat near the rudder and under the floor by the forward bulkhead located next to the fuel tank. To keep the pumps from getting clogged, remove any debris you find in the bilge.
Page 206: Cartridge Replacement
V-Drive Sec 8_2010.qxp:Naut Air Sec 8.qxd Section 8 Cartridge Replacement 1. Turn off power to the bilge pump. 2. Unscrew the filter bowl (A) by turning counterclockwise and pour any excess bilge water remaining in the bowl back into the bilge.
Page 207: Propeller
• DO NOT reuse the nylon locknut or the cotter pin. • DO NOT use a damaged propeller. A damaged propeller can damage your engine and boat. Removal 1. Remove the cotter pin from the propeller shaft and discard.
Page 208: Installation
V-Drive Sec 8_2010.qxp:Naut Air Sec 8.qxd Section 8 Use a propeller puller to remove the propeller, then remove the key from the keyway. Inspect the keyways and key for any damage. Installation Before placing the propeller on the shaft, look at the keyway on the shaft and in the propeller.
Page 209: Propeller Shaft Stuffing Box
Raise the engine cover and remove the storage bulkheads. If you see a steady stream of water or an excessive drip rate, return your boat to your Nautique dealer for service. Through-Hull Fittings All fittings that actually pass through the hull on the wetted surface are caulked in.
Page 210: Salt Water Boating
We recommend using this system if you use your boat in salt water or unusual water conditions. Flushing the system by running the boat in fresh water is another good way to flush the engine, but it must be done immediately.
Page 211: Battery Maintenance
V-Drive Sec 8_2010.qxp:Naut Air Sec 8.qxd Care and Maintenance 5. Close the ball valve of step 2 unless the boat is on a trailer or lifted up in the air, in which case it should be left open. 6. Run the engine for several minutes after it has reached the normal operating temperature to ensure proper flushing.
Page 212 The battery cables should be removed from the battery when the boat is placed in storage, on display or in transit. This will eliminate the possibility of the engine accidentally starting without a supply of cooling water and may damage the engine.
Page 213: Gelcoat Maintenance
DO NOT use common household scouring pads or powders. If you will be keeping your boat in the water for ANY period of time, we suggest that the wetted surface of the hull be painted with an epoxy paint formulated for blister protection.
Page 214: Care Of Metal
Heat the area after the boat is moved to allow the boat to warm up slowly as the area is heated. Also, if you move your boat from a warmer area to a colder one, wait for the outside temperature to be closer to the warmer area’s temperature or allow...

Page 225: Storage
Storage Lifting Rings and Lifting Eyes The 211 has lifting rings at the bow and at the stern. The 210, 216V, 226 and 230 have a bow lifting ring and stern lifting eyes. These are designed to lift your boat in a steady and secure manner. The winch, hooks and other components of the lifting mechanism have sufficient capacity sufficient for your boat.
Page 226 Only use a hook that will pass easily through the lifting rings or eyes without binding. A hook that is too large or off-center could break the lifting rings or eyes. DO NOT use a sling to lift the boat. Damage to your boat can occur.
Page 227: Winterizing Your Boat
When storing your boat up on a rack system, it is important the racks adequately support the hull bottom. If you do not have a trailer, support the boat like a Nautique dealer recommended trailer. It is important to have an even weight distribution.
Page 228 The raw water strainer bowl (A) remains full of water even after the rest of the engine cooling water system is drained. To properly winterize your boat, the strainer bowl must be removed and emptied. DO NOT lose the rubber O-ring (B) that seals the bowl to the cap.
Page 229: Check For Water In Your Fuel System
A small amount of water left in the fuel system for several months can result in damage to the fuel system and engine. If you are storing your boat for the winter, it is a good practice to remove any water in the fuel system.
Page 230: Winterizing Ballast Tanks (If Equipped)
When following this procedure, remember to protect our natural resources by using environmentally friendly products; and to always discard in an environmentally friendly manner. 1. Make sure your boat is out of the water, the tanks are completely drained and the tank water intake/drain valves are open.
Page 231: Trailer/Trailering
The trailer requires wiring from your vehicle to the trailer lights. This can usually be done by the hitch company. Security There are several locking devices available at marine supply stores to aid in securing your boat whether or not it is attached to your vehicle. 7/22/09 1:50 PM...
Page 232: Towing Your Boat
• Be sure a cable or strap secures the bow eye of the boat to the trailer. Make sure this is tightly secured. • Be sure the trailer electrical connector is plugged in. Allow sufficient slack for cornering.
Page 233 • Make sure all trailer lights are still functioning properly. • Re-examine the contents of your boat to ensure that no items such as life jackets or other gear have shifted and will not fly out while you are on the road.
