Chapter 1: About This Manual

This Owner's Manual Supplement was prepared to provide specific information about your yacht. Please study the
Owner's Manual and this supplement carefully, paying particular attention to Appendix C: Express Limited War-
ranty. Keep this supplement on your yacht in a secure, yet readily available place.

Dealer Service

Make certain that you receive a full explanation of all systems from the selling dealer before taking delivery of your
yacht. Your selling dealer is your key to service. If you experience any problems with your new yacht, immediately
contact the selling dealer. If for any reason your selling dealer is unable to help, you can call us direct on our cus-
tomer service hotline: 360-403-0274 or send us a FAX: 360-403-4235.

Boating Experience

If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and
safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the yacht.
We strongly recommend that you take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact
the organizations directly:
• U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org
Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local yacht club can advise you of local
sea schools or competent instructors.
CONTROL HAZARD! A qualified operator must be in control of the yacht at all times. Do not
operate your yacht while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Engines & Accessories Guidelines
Your yacht's engines and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service. Installing different
engines or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics. Should you choose to install different
engines or to add accessories that will affect the boat's running trim, have an experienced marine technician perform
a safety inspection and handling test before operating your yacht again.
The engines and accessories installed on your yacht come with their own operation and maintenance manuals. We
strongly urge you to read and understand these manuals before operating the engines and accessories.

Safety Standards

Your yacht's mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it was
built. Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety
of other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this Owner's Manual Supplement, please read the Owner's Manual and all accessory instruction sheets
for important safety standards and hazard information.
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! Do not allow anyone to ride on parts of the yacht
not designated for such use. Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck,
bow riding, gunwale riding or occupying the transom platform while underway
is especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.
