Registration; Insurance - CORRECT CRAFT super air 230 2018 Owner's Manual

Before operating the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:
• Registering the boat as required in the jurisdiction where the
boat is being operated.
• Providing the proper (USCG) safety equipment, and
checking local, state and federal agencies as to laws and
regulations (USCG carriage requirements).
• Carefully reading and understanding safety information and
proper operating procedures within this manual.
• Obtaining other boating education if you lack operational
experience.
• Familiarizing yourself with the navigable waters where you
intend to operate the boat.
• Following the proper break-in procedure for the engine.

Registration

Federal Law requires that all motorboats be registered and that all
motorcraft not documented by the U.S. Coast Guard display
registration numbers. In nearly all states, this means registration
with the designated state agency. In a few jurisdictions, the Coast
Guard retains registration authority. Your dealer will either supply
registration forms or tell you where they may be obtained. The
agency will supply you with a certificate which must be carried with
you when the boat is in operation. International laws may vary as to
required registration.

Insurance

The boat owner may be legally responsible for damages or injuries
caused by both himself and the operator (if different than the
owner). Common sense dictates that you carry adequate personal
liability and property damage insurance on your boat, just as you
would on your automobile. Many states have laws detailing
minimum insurance needs. Your insurance agent or your dealer
may be able to supply you with more information. You should also
protect your boat from physical damage or theft.
