Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

This Owner's Manual Supplement provides specific information about your boat that is not covered in
the Sport Boat Owner's Manual.
• The Sport Boat Owner's Manual contains general information about safe operating practices, general
boating regulations, and general maintenance techniques.
• Before using your boat, study this Owner's Manual Supplement, the Sport Boat Owner's Manual, and
all engine and accessory literature carefully. If similar instructions are found in more than one manual,
always refer to the specific manufacturer's manual (such as the engine manual) for the most complete
and accurate information.
• Keep this Owner's Manual Supplement and the Sport Boat Owner's Manual on your boat in a secure,
yet readily available place.
