Page 13: Boating Safety
Boating Safety Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a new high-performance recreational tow boat. Your Nautique boat has been constructed to meet and/or exceed all U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) requirements applicable at the time of its manufacture. However, it is still your responsibility as the boat owner to ensure the boat is operated in a safe manner and is properly maintained.
Page 14: About This Owner's Manual
Section 1 About this Owner’s Manual The recommended practices and warnings in this manual represent sound advice for recreational boating and identify common risks encountered by boaters engaging in towed watersport activities. Read and understand the contents of this manual. Ask questions of a boating professional if anything in this manual does not make sense to you.
Page 15: Signal Words And Symbols Used In This Manual
Boating Safety Signal Words and Symbols Used In This Manual Throughout this manual specific precautions and symbols identify safety-related information. You will find DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING and NOTICE symbols which require special attention. Please read them carefully and follow these precautions as indicated! They will explain how to avoid hazards that may endanger you, your passengers, towed participants, and other boaters.
Page 16: Basic Safety Rules
Section 1 Basic Safety Rules Make sure you understand all of the operating instructions prior to attempting to operate this boat. Boating-related accidents are generally caused by the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the operator is completely familiar with the boat and its operation, follows recommended practices, and is able to recognize and avoid potentially hazardous situations.
Page 17 Boating Safety • Check bilge pump, horn, lights, blower and other equipment to verify they are operating properly. • Verify that the emergency cutoff switch lanyard is in proper operating condition and is properly affixed to the driver. • Check the operation of the steering system. Verify that the steering is operational before launching the boat.
Page 18: Precautions While Underway
Section 1 - If you see liquid gasoline in the engine compartments/bilge or smell gasoline vapors, DO NOT attempt to start the engine. Liquid gasoline in the bilge is an extreme fire and explosion hazard which may cause injury or death. Find and fix the source of the leakage, remove the liquid gasoline from the bilge.
Page 19 Boating Safety • Not operate the engine in a confined space or while tethered to another vessel as CARBON MONOXIDE will be around the boats. • Not go under the boat cover with the engine running or shortly after the engine has been running because CARBON MONOXIDE may remain under the cover.
Page 20 Section 1 • Be aware that your boat will handle differently depending on loading and on-board weight distribution. • Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations to avoid falling or falling overboard. • Instruct and ensure that passengers remain properly seated at all times while the boat is in motion above idle speed.
Page 21 Boating Safety • Keep track of tow lines and dock lines so that they do not become entangled in the propeller. A tow line will wrap quickly around a spinning propeller and is capable of immobilizing the boat and dragging a person entangled in the tow line underwater or causing amputations.
Page 22: Safety While Maintaining The Vessel
Section 1 Safety While Maintaining the Vessel Failure to follow these precautions may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others. The operator shall: • Visually inspect the engine compartment and ventilate after refueling. • Inspect fuel system regularly. Examine fuel tanks, hoses and fittings for leaks or corrosion at least annually because leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard.
Page 23: Owner Responsibility And Boating Education
Boating Safety • Be aware that battery electrolyte fluid is dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive and caustic. If electrolyte fluid is spilled or placed on any part of the human body, immediately flush the area with large amounts of clean water and immediately seek medical attention.
Page 24: Registration
Section 1 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. Have all operators become familiar with the handling characteristics, and proper steering and control system usage before attempting high-speed operation.
Page 25: Insurance
Boating Safety Insurance The boat owner may be legally responsible for damages or injuries caused by both himself and the operator (if different than the owner). Common sense dictates that you carry adequate personal liability and property damage insurance on your boat, just as you would on your automobile.
Page 26: Operation By Minors And Licensing
Section 1 The following is a list of some other agencies and organizations that offer Water Safety, First Aid and CPR courses or information. To find boating safety courses in your area, call your state’s local boating agency or the USCG boating safety course line at 1-800-336-2628 (1-800-245-2628 in Virginia).
Page 27: Safety And Required Equipment
Boating Safety Safety and Required Equipment Your boat and equipment must be in compliance with federal, state and local safety equipment regulations. USCG regulations require certain safety equipment be present on your boat during operation. For a detailed description, obtain “Federal Requirements for Recreational Boats”...
Page 28: Navigation Lights
Section 1 Navigation Lights Your boat is equipped with navigational lights. Recreational boats are required to display navigational lights between sunset and sunrise and other periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.). Navigation lights are provided to keep other boats informed of your presence and course.
Page 29: Personal Flotation Devices
Boating Safety • DO NOT route the lanyard where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning. • Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. • Loss of engine power means loss of most steering control. • Without engine power, the boat will decelerate rapidly. This could cause people in the boat to be thrown forward or ejected overboard if they are not properly seated in the boat.
Page 30 Section 1 is especially important that children and non-swimmers wear a life jacket (PFD) at all times. Make certain all passengers know where life jackets are located, how to put on and properly adjust their life jackets (PFDs), and that life jackets are readily accessible at all times.
Page 31 Boating Safety Type IV Throwable Device: These are designed to be thrown to a person in the water. Throwable devices include boat cushions, ring buoys, and horseshoe buoys. They are not designed to be worn and must be supplemented by wearable PFD.
Page 32: Fire Extinguisher
Section 1 Fire Extinguisher A portable fire extinguisher is required if your boat has an inboard engine, or when fuel is stored in closed stowage compartments. Approved fire extinguishers are classified by a letter symbol, either B-I or B-II with the B designating that the material will extinguish flammable liquids...
Page 33: Visual Distress Signals
Boating Safety leaks, missing drain plug, exhaust system or ballast system failures, etc.), and/or return to shore. Excess water in the bilge of your boat can cause loss of engine power, sinking, and/or capsizing. Visual Distress Signals All vessels used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them up to a point where a body of water is greater than two miles wide, must be equipped with USCG approved visual distress signals.
Page 34: Recommended Safety Equipment
Section 1 Recommended Safety Equipment As a precaution, a prudent boater will avoid potential problems on an outing by having additional equipment on board. Normally, this equipment is dependent on the size and type of the body of water and the length of the trip. Your dealer can assist you in acquiring this additional equipment.
Page 35: General Boating Safety Topics
Boating Safety General Boating Safety Topics Safe Speed Navigation rules state that a boat be operated at a safe speed at all times. Determination of a safe speed involves consideration of many factors, such as, but not limited to: • Boating activity (tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, etc.) •...
Page 36: Carbon Monoxide Safety
Section 1 • Ensure that all passengers are properly and securely seated in appropriate seating locations to avoid falling or falling overboard. • While the engine is running, and while the boat maneuvering, all occupants should be properly seated. DO NOT stand while the boat is moving.
Page 37 Boating Safety Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause brain damage or death. Engine and generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide will be around the back of the boat when engines or generators are running. Move to fresh air, if you feel nausea, headache, dizziness, or drowsiness.
Page 38 Section 1 Hazardous boating situations involving carbon monoxide include: Blockage of boat exhaust by obstruction. Exhaust traveling along obstruction. Operating with high bow angle. Operating at slow speed or while dead in the water. Exhausts from other vessels in confined areas. Operating with canvas tops and side curtains in place without ventilation.
Page 39: Proper Loading
Boating Safety American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. 613 Third St., Suite 10, Annapolis, MD 21403 410-956-4460 www.abycinc.org Proper Loading DO NOT overload your boat. Overloading or uneven loading can cause loss of control, capsizing, or swamping, which may lead to death or serious injury.
Page 40: Weighting Your Boat During Watersport Activities
Section 1 The capacity plate has the following information permanently printed on it: • The total weight of persons, gear and other items which the boat is capable of carrying under normal conditions. This weight must include any added ballast above and beyond boat manufacturer’s factory installed ballast system(s).
Page 41 Boating Safety When loading your boat, give attention to the effect that the load distribution has on the boat’s trim angle. Trim angle is the technical term for the up or down pitch angle of your boat (also known as the “bow up”...
Page 42: Visibility Of The Operator
Section 1 It is the boat operator’s responsibility to tell passengers to move to other seats on the boat, so as to not overload the stern or bow of the boat, nor restrict the boat operator’s forward visibility. There is no single recommended seating or load distribution for all conditions.
Page 43: Boating Under The Influence
Boating Safety Obstructed visibility can cause death or serious injury. The operator must maintain clear visibility at all times while operating the boat. Arrange passengers and equipment appropriately or designate a passenger to assist when visibility is limited. Boating Under the Influence Operating a boat or boating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs can cause serious injury or death.
Page 44: Product Misuse
Section 1 Impaired operation may result in severe personal injury or death. Federal and state laws prohibit operating a boat under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. If the operator’s blood alcohol content is above the legal limit, violators are subject to fines and may go to jail. Violators may also lose automobile driving privileges.
Page 45: Rendering Assistance
Boating Safety Rendering 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, presuming assistance can be safely provided.
Page 46 Section 1 Weeds Weeds can generally be a threat to a boat’s engine and other components on the boat. If weeds wrap around the propeller, they can create vibration in the engine. They also can restrict water intakes or clog the water filter causing the engine to overheat.
Page 47: Environmental Concerns
Boating Safety Environmental Concerns As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean. Foreign Species If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you have the potential of unknowingly introducing a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next.
Page 48 Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance. Consult your Nautique dealer for information. Paints If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate.
Page 49 Boating Safety Cleaning Agents Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas while cleaning your boat. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products.
Page 50: On Product Warning Labels
On Product Warning Labels Warning Labels & Locations Warning labels are placed at specific locations on your Nautique boat at the time of manufacture to alert you to potential hazards that may not be obvious. These labels also indicate how to avoid these hazards.

Page 54: Basic Rules Of The Road
Section 1 Basic Rules of the Road Boating Regulations The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is the governing authority of the United States waterways and serves to help the boating public. State boating regulations are enforced by local authorities. Owners and users outside of the United States must be cognizant of that country’s laws and regulations.
Page 55: Encountering Another Vessel
Boating Safety The nautical Rules of the Road must be followed to prevent collisions between vessels. Like traffic laws for automobiles, the operator is legally required to follow the rules. Collisions between boats can cause death or serious injury. Keep a proper lookout, safe speed, and follow the nautical “Rules of the Road.”...
Page 56 Section 1 Burdened Vessel The burdened vessel does not have the right-of-way and has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the privileged vessel. Normally, the burdened vessel should not cross in front of the privileged vessel.
Page 57 Boating Safety Conversely, the following illustration depicts a situation in which you are the boat in the center and you are the burdened vessel. You must give right-of-way to all vessels coming towards you from the directions shown in green. Meeting Head-On When meeting head-on, neither vessel has the right of way.
Page 58 Section 1 Overtaking The boat that is overtaking one ahead of it is the burdened boat and must make any adjustments necessary to keep out of the way of the privileged boat, until the burdened boat is well ahead and clear of the vessel being overtaken.
Page 59: Aids To Navigation
Boating Safety If you navigate these type of waters, you should carry a portable air horn, which are available from local marine supply stores. Aids to Navigation Learn to recognize the different buoys and day markers; they are the signposts of the waterways. The United States Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) is the primary marking system used on inland water, coastal waters and rivers in the United States.
Page 60 Section 1 FWMS System The FWMS Lateral System is for use on navigable waters except Western Rivers and Intercoastal Waterways. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going toward the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when proceeding from open water into port, and green buoys to the port (left) side.
Page 61 Boating Safety Lights, bells and horns are used on buoys for night or poor visibility conditions. Buoys with unique light flashing characteristics are identified on nautical charts with the specific flashing pattern. Types of Buoys There are several types and shapes of buoys. Buoys may be unlighted, lighted, with sound or may have both an audible and a visual signal.
Page 62 Section 1 Mooring Buoys The only buoys from which you are permitted to moor are mooring buoys. Mooring buoys are white with a blue horizontal stripe. Mooring to a navigation buoy, regulatory markers or lateral markers is illegal. Mooring Buoy – White with Blue Band May Show White Reflector or Light 1-50...
Page 63 Boating Safety Uniform State Regulatory Markers Regulatory markers indicate dangerous or restricted controlled areas. These markers are used to indicate speed zones, areas set aside for particular use, general information and directions. Regulatory markers are white with orange geometric shapes and also have orange bands near the top and at the water line of the buoy.
Page 64 Section 1 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.
Page 65: Night Running
Boating Safety Night Running Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours vary by state) must use navigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially during bad weather or fog can be dangerous. All “Rules of the Road” apply at night, but it is best to slow down and stay clear of all boats, regardless of who has right of way.
Page 66 Section 1 Sailboats and Watercraft Under Oars Sailboats less than meters (65.62 feet) may exhibit the navigation lights shown in Figures 3 or 4. Figure 3 Figure 4 Another option for sailboats is to use a single combination lantern at the top of the mast as shown in Figure 5.
Page 67 Boating Safety Sailboats less than 7 meters (22.96 feet) may carry an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light to be displayed in sufficient time to prevent collision (see Figure 6 - left picture). If practicable, the lights prescribed for sailboats less than 20 meters should be Figure 6 displayed.
Page 68: Watersports Safety
Section 1 Watersports Safety Skiers or riders are obligated to be aware of the same fundamental safety rules as boat operators. If you are new to water skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and other towed watersports, seek certified training before starting. You will find it especially helpful to join a local ski club, World Wakeboard Association, and/or the USA Water Ski, when possible.
Page 69 Boating Safety Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others. • Every towed person must always wear a USCG- approved personal flotation device. • Always have an experienced driver and a designated observer in the boat while being towed.

Circle Back to Dock Skier in Water Cut Engine Skiers OK Speed OK Speed Faster STOP Speed Slower Turn Left Turn Right Towed Person Safety Responsibilities Most injuries and fatalities that occur on high-performance recreational tow boats occur to the persons being towed (water...
Page 71 Boating Safety Operators should: • Assign a passenger to be a designated observer. • Turn the engine off whenever a person is on the swim platform or in the water near the boat. This is especially important for the area near the back of the boat to avoid propeller injuries.
Page 72: Additional Precautions For Towed Skier/Rider
Section 1 • Monitor the tow line to ensure that it does not become tangled, it does not become wrapped around anyone in the boat, and it does not become wrapped around the towed person. Also monitor the tow line so that it does not become tangled in the propeller.
Page 73 Boating Safety • Slowly take up slack in tow lines before accelerating to watersports speeds. Jerking the slack out of a tow line can cause high forces on the rope and towing equipment. This may cause the rope or equipment to break and the rope to snap back at occupants of your boat and at the towed person.
Page 74: Tow Line Guidelines
Section 1 • Never climb, sit or stand on a wakeboard tower. The wakeboard tower is intended for towing only as noted. It is designed to pull a limited number of individual(s), and in some cases only one (1) individual. Please consult the remainder of this manual and warning labels on tower for details.
Page 75: Fallen Skier Or Rider
Boating Safety • Never use a tow line with elastic or bungee material to pull skiers or riders. • Tow line should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed for towing. Refer to your watercraft manual for instructions on proper tow line attachment.

Explosion and Fire Many boat fires and explosions involve flammable liquids such as gas or oil, which are used in your boat’s propulsion engine(s) and...
Page 82: Swamping And Flooding
Section 1 • Throw burning materials overboard if possible. • Move anyone not needed for firefighting operations away from the flames. • Signal for help. • Put on PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices), grab distress signals and survival gear, and prepare to abandon ship. Burn hazard from gasoline floating on water which is ignited can cause death or serious injury.
Page 83: Capsizing
Boating Safety Capsizing • If others were on board, try to locate them, make sure that they are conscious and they can swim. • If possible, access lifejackets (PFDs), pass them out to everyone, and put them on. • STAY WITH THE BOAT! A boat will usually float even if there is major hull damage.
Page 84: Grounding
Section 1 Grounding In the event you run aground, assess the situation before proceeding. Your response to grounding will depend on how hard the boat hits bottom and whether the boat remains stranded, the extent of damage, and proximity to shore and help. •...
Page 85: Drowning
Boating Safety Drowning • Swim to rescue a drowning victim only as a last resort. • Immediate resuscitation is critical! It may be possible to revive a drowning victim who has been under water for some time and shows no sign of life. Start CPR immediately and get the victim to a hospital as quickly as possible.
Page 86 Section 1 A recreational boat towing another should be a last resort due to the potential for damaging one or both boats. The Coast Guard or a private salvage company is better equipped for this activity. A recreational boat may assist by standing by, and possibly by keeping the disabled boat’s bow at a proper angle until help arrives.
Page 87 Boating Safety Vessel Being Towed • Attach the towline to the bow eye. • If it is necessary to be towed after being freed, keep someone at the wheel to steer. 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.

Page 228: Quick Oil Drain System
Section 7 Quick Oil Drain System Change the engine oil after the first 25 hours of operation, then after every 50 hours. The boat must be removed from the water to use the quick oil drain system. There is a drain hose attached to the bottom of the oil pan with a small plug screwed into the loose end of the hose.
Page 229: Salt Water Boating
Nautique offers an optional fresh water flush kit. The relief valve in this kit prevents excessive water pressure to your engine. Excess water pressure can damage the engine. This is the only system we recommend if you use your boat in salt water or unusual water conditions.
Page 230: Coastal Edition
9. Remove the water supply hose and reinstall the deck fitting cap securely. Coastal Edition Nautique boats with the Coastal Edition are equipped to effectively resist saltwater corrosion while maintaining premium performance capabilities. Follow these procedures to help keep your Nautique boat operating efficiently.

4. Flush the engine with fresh water after each use. See Freshwater Flushing Kit - Optional on page 7-9 for more information. 5. Nautique Boat Company, the manufacturer of Nautique boats, applies dielectric grease to the battery connections at the factory.
Page 232 Section 7 Take care when connecting or disconnecting a battery charger. Be sure the charger is turned OFF and unplugged from power source when you clip ON/OFF the connecting clamps. Make sure you have a solid connection with the charging clamps. Poor connections are common causes of electrical arcs and engine problems.

Alarm sounds if battery leads are reversed. Nautique has included a Warning Alarm in the battery cable system that sounds an audible alarm if the positive or negative battery cables touch the opposite connecting post on the battery (reverse polarity situation).
Page 234: Gelcoat Maintenance
Some of these can be caustic. Pay special attention to the cautions on the label of these coatings. Ask your Nautique dealer for advice on which work best in your area.
Page 235: Care Of Metal
If your boat’s gelcoat develops a chalky look over a period of time due to exposure to sun, there are gelcoat buffing and polishing compounds available at your Nautique dealer and marine supply stores. DO NOT use common household scouring pads or powders.

Page 245: Storage
Section 9 Storage Lifting Rings Your Nautique is equipped with bow and stern lifting rings. 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. Refer to Section 2, Specifications.
Page 246 Section 9 CAUTION Drain the bilge and / or launch control system and/or aftermarket water bladder(s) to eliminate excess water before you lift the boat. Only use a hook that will pass easily through the lifting ring without binding. A hook that is too large or off-center could break the lifting ring.
Page 247: Winterizing Your Boat
When storing your boat up on a rack system, it is important that 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 248: Winterizing The Heater System (In Closed-Cooled Engines Only)
Section 9 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 must be removed and emptied. DO NOT lose the rubber O-ring (B) that seals the bowl to the cap. Clean screen (C) if required.
Page 249: Check For Water In Your Fuel System
Check your Fuel Control Cell once each year for signs of water in the canister. If it appears there is water buildup in the canister, see your Nautique dealer for service. An empty fuel tank can accumulate water inside by changing temperature and repeated cycles of condensation on the inner surfaces of the tank.
Page 250 Section 9 Add a good quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel prior to winterizing to slow down the rate of fuel decomposition. You can purchase a fuel stabilizer at your servicing dealer, most marinas or an auto supply store. Add the stabilizer to the tank. If you did not add the stabilizer previously, run the engine to circulate fuel throughout the system.
Page 251: Trailer/Trailering
Storage Trailer/Trailering Hitch If you do not already have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle, go to a reputable installer to have the proper size hitch installed. Always use a hitch rated with the appropriate capacity to match the trailer and boat’s gross weight.
