D - 10 OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Sign the warranty registration card verifying your ad-
dress, model and hull serial number. The dealer is re-
sponsible for mailing the warranty registration card to
us.
2. Inspect the boat at the time of delivery to verify that all
systems and components are operating safely and ac-
ceptably. Read all manuals and instructions.
3. Operate all equipment in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
4. Review the pre-delivery checklist for the boat and en-
gine with your dealer when you take delivery.
5. Schedule your 20-hour boat and engine checkup with
your dealer.
6. Know how to safely operate your boat and the rules of
the road before you use your boat.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that your dealer checks the
engine alignment during your boat's 20-hour checkup.
The engine alignment check should be performed in
accordance with recommended procedures as stated
by the engine manufacturer in your engine owner's
manual. Failure to do so could result in drive train dam-
age which is not covered under the warranty.
7. We recommend that you review your engine owners
manual and warranty certificate for break-in advice, ini-
tial inspection and service requirements.
8. Perform or provide for the scheduled maintenance
checks outlined in this manual and all related service
guides and manuals.
9. You are responsible for any modifications made to
the boat or its equipment that could affect the safe op-
eration of the boat.
Along with boating, comes responsibility. Responsibil-
ity for safety, boating laws, and the environment. Please
think about the future of our waterways, oceans and
marine life while you're out enjoying them and take all
necessary measures to help protect what natural habi-
tats we have left. Keeping our waterways and marine
habitats free from debris, and showing consideration for
the creatures who thrive in these environments are some
ways you can help assure the pleasure of boating for
years to come.
