Engine, Accessory Guidelines and Literature

• Before starting or working on your engine(s), read the engine manual.
• Before using the accessories on your boat, read the accessory manuals.
• Before storing your boat, refer to your engine and accessory manuals for
storage/winterization instructions.
Certain modifications to your boat will result in cancellation of your warranty
protection. Always check with your dealer before making any modifications.
• Your boat's engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.
• Installing a different engine or adding accessories may affect your boat's running trim.
• If you choose to install a different engine or add accessories that may affect your boat's running trim, have
a trained marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before using your boat again.
• The engine and accessories on your boat have their own manuals. Read these manuals before using
the engines and accessories.
Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this supplement is included in
your owner's packet.
While the topics listed below may be included in this supplement and in the Sport Boat Owner's Manual,
always refer to the engine manual first for specific information on these important subjects:
• Engine Break-in Procedure
• Engine Starting and Stopping
• Gear Shifting
Propeller
The factory standard propeller may not be the best for your particular boat
and load conditions. Refer to the engine manual RPM ratings. The engine
should reach, but not exceed its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied.
Immediately contact your local Bayliner dealer if:
• The engine cannot reach its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied
• The engine exceeds its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied
• Keep the propeller in good repair and at the correct pitch for your particular situation.
• A slightly bent or nicked propeller will adversely affect the performance of your boat.
