The wind speed and wave height specified as the upper limit for your category of boat does not mean that you or your passengers can survive if your boat is exposed to these conditions. It is only the most experienced operators and crew that may be able to operate a boat safely under these conditions.
Give the float plan to a friend or relative, so they can give the information to a national boat agency, like the U.s. Coast guard, in the event you fail to return.
• Be considerate to fishermen. • Do not water ski in congested areas. • keep the boat and skier away from navigation markers. • stay well clear of other boats and skiers. 16. e MerGencY Prevention is the safest approach.
• account for all who were on board. • If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang on, or climb on the boat and signal for help. • Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim to shore - it is further away than it looks and you can tire and drown.
• Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than a trained and competent service, such as the Coast guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are not designed to tow other recreational craft.

DOWn When the stern drive is trimmed DOWn, the bow of your boat is being forced down. If the trim is in the full DOWn position when accelerating from idle to plane, the boat will plane faster with less bow rise. Once on plane, the stern drive unit can be trimmed UP slightly.
2.6.1) eneral To correct the listing, adjust the trim tabs to level the boat. When the boat is level, right to left, the steering effort will be the same for right and left turns. lower the trim tab on the listing (lower) side by pushing the top half of the rocker switch in one-half second bursts until the boat is righted.
In these situations, the safety of the boat and its passengers is enhanced by using the ignition shutdown switch, since the boat will stop when the operator can no longer control the boat.

1. f YsTeM section 3 • Using your Boat contains important fueling information. Take time to read all the fuel related information in the owner’s manual.

DC power needs on your boat. It may be necessary to add batteries or auxiliary charging methods to supply adequate power for any additional accessories you wish to add.
To minimize electrolytic corrosion of the metals on your boat, zinc anode plates are provided on your boat to protect underwater hardware. Zinc, being much less "noble" than the copper-based alloys and aluminum used in underwater fittings, will deteriorate first and protect the other metals.
Zinc anodes require replacement about every six months, if the boat is operated in salt water. In fresh water, the zinc anodes can be replaced about once a year. If the anodes deteriorate more rapidly than this, there is probably a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or mooring.
