ESPONSIBILITIES AND

Insurance

You must get insurance before operating your new
boat. Insurance for 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.

BOAT THEORY

The following information briefly explains main
system theory.

Remote Control System

The shift lever controls the direction of the boat,
and the throttle lever controls the speed of the boat.

Steering System

The steering wheel (helm) is connected to a
hydraulic cylinder. As you turn the helm, hydraulic
fluid directs movement of a steering cylinder. The
cylinder is mechanically connected to the drive
units. In an emergency the drive units can be
turned manually by connecting a line to the drive
unit and directing them.

Fuel System

The fuel system consists of a permanent tank with
an air vent system, fuel level sensor and fuel fill
components. The tank has an anti-siphon valve to
prevent fuel from accumulating in the bilge if a hose
should break.

Freshwater System (Optional)

The optional freshwater system consists of a tank,
pump, tank pressure switch and system ON/OFF
switch. The system supplies fresh water to the sink
and the transom shower. The red LED on the
ON/OFF switch indicates the system is activated.
The pump operates only when pressure is required
in the system.
