Load Capacity - Bayliner 16 Element Owner's Manual Supplement

Load Capacity

Never carry more weight or passengers than indicated on the certification
plate, regardless of weather or water conditions.
The boat can capsize, swamp or sink.
If present, the capacity information plate (located near the helm) indicates maximum weight and
number of persons your boat can handle under calm sea conditions. Do not exceed the load capacities
stated. The number of people on board must be reduced if you go out in poor weather and rough water.
The type of capacity plate will vary dependant upon the local governing authority.
