GENERAL INFORMATION

Notice to Boat Manufacturer/Installer
Throughout this publication, Warnings and Cautions (accompanied by the International
Hazard Symbol) are used to alert the installer to special instructions concerning a
particular service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. -
Observe Them Carefully!
These Safety Alerts, alone, cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict
compliance to these special instructions when performing the service, plus common sense
operation, are major accident prevention measures.
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death!
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or product or
property damage.
IMPORTANT: Indicates information or instructions that are necessary for proper
installation and/or operation.
This installation manual has been written and published by CMD to aid the boat
manufacturer involved in the application and installation of the products described herein.
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with marine product application and the
installation procedures of these products, or like or similar products manufactured and
marketed by CMD. Furthermore, it is assumed that they are familiar with, if not trained in,
the recommended installation procedures of these products.
We could not possibly know of and advise the marine trade of all conceivable applications
and installations which might be achieved, and of the possible hazards and/or results of
each conceivable application or installation. We have not undertaken any such wide
evaluation. Therefore, any manufacturer which, or person who, applies or installs the
product in a manner which does not fulfill the requirements listed herein, first must
completely satisfy themselves that neither their safety nor the product will be endangered by
the application or installation procedure selected.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser (whether boat builder or dealer) of a CMD power
package to select the appropriate package (including sufficient horsepower, appropriate
drive unit, correct gear ratio and appropriate propeller) for a given boat. Making such a
selection requires knowledge of the boat, including the boat weight, length, hull design,
intended use, intended duty cycle, and desired speed, all of which is in the exclusive
possession of the purchaser. The appropriateness of a power package can be confirmed
only by thoroughly water testing the boat after installation of the power package. The test
should verify (among other things) that the engine runs in the recommended rpm range, and
that the boat operates as desired. CMD employees are available to provide information
regarding the characteristics and availability of power packages, but the final decision and
responsibility rests with the purchaser.
It is recommended that a CMD Sales Application Engineer (SAE) be contacted for
assistance if specific application or installation problems are encountered.
All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the
latest product information available at time of publication. CMD reserves the right to make
changes at any time without obligation. As required, revisions to this manual will be sent to
all OEM boat companies.
