    Don’t litter on or off the water—take it home! • Don’t top off fuel tanks and always clean up fuel spills. • Watch your wake and propeller wash. • Keep your motors finely tuned. • Control your bilge water. • When fishing, practice “Catch and Release.” INTRODUCTION https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 15: General Information

    Lund boat and general procedures to be followed before operating it. CERTIFICATION The bottom half of the capacity plate indicates that all Lund boats have National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) certification. This is different from the maximum capacities established by the U.S.
  • Page 16: Capacity Plate

    An over-loaded boat can become hard to handle. Overloading can also reduce freeboard and increase the danger of flooding or swamping, particularly in rough water. IMPORTANT: Your Lund warranty will be void if you exceed the recommended capacity horsepower rating. INTRODUCTION https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 17: Hull Identification Number

    United States. HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Along with a capacity plate, each Lund boat has a hull identification number assigned by the U.S. Coast Guard. The number on your pontoon boat is located on the top aft end of the starboard pontoon.

    See Chapter 8 for more information. YOUR NEW BOAT When you take delivery of your boat, both you and your dealer have specific responsibilities. Dealer Responsibilities The dealer is responsible for the following: INTRODUCTION https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 19: Owner/Operator Responsibilities

    Providing you thorough instruction in how to operate your boat and all of its systems and components. Completing the Lund boat warranty registration card and sending it in to the factory. Owner/Operator Responsibilities As the owner, you are responsible for the following:...
  • Page 20 1. Signing off on the boat inspection sheet before delivery. 2. Warranty Register the boat with the Lund Factory 3. Keep a record of the hull number for future reference. 4. Inspecting the boat at the time of delivery to ensure that all systems and components are working properly.
  • Page 21: Warranty

    WARRANTY Your new Lund boat is backed by a limited express warranty. The complete warranty is supplied separately within the boats document bag.

    NOTE: Some of the equipment described in this chapter may be standard for some models and optional or not available for other models. Check with your Lund dealer if you have questions about boat equipment. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Your boat’s electrical system is a 12 volt, direct current (DC) type similar to the system in an automobile.
  • Page 58: Battery

    Get medical attention immediately. When you install a battery, battery connections must be made properly. Attach the negative battery cable to the negative (–) terminal on the battery. Then, attach the positive cable to the positive (+) terminal. SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...

    The weight of these items must be added to the dry weight to determine the proper trailer GVWR needed. If your boat is equipped with a larger than standard engine, you must allow for the engine’s added weight. TRAILERING https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 79: Weight Distribution

    In either case, the vehicle will be hard to handle and could become uncontrollable at high speeds. State regulations usually require that trailers above a specified weight rating be equipped with brakes. Requirements vary; check with your dealer for additional information. https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 80: Hitch

    Special heavy-duty equalizing hitches are necessary for trailer tongue weights of 350 pounds (158 kg) or greater. The trailer hitch coupler must match the size of the hitch ball. The correct ball diameter is marked on the trailer coupler. TRAILERING https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 81: Safety Chains

    Safety chain should be of the “proof coil” type and must have a minimum breaking strength equal to the upper limit of the GVWR. Some states require chains to be locked so hooks can’t shake, bounce or vibrate off the bracket. https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...

  • Page 84: Backing A Trailer

    1. Before backing your boat down the launch ramp: • Remove all stern tie-downs. • Properly secure all loose gear. • Inventory your safety equipment. • Load all personal gear. • Lock winch and trailer unit. TRAILERING https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 85 11. Pull your towing vehicle away from the launch ramp. 12. Park only in designated areas. When parking, be sure your towing vehicle and trailer do not block other boaters from approaching the launch ramp or hinder their ability to maneuver a boat and trailer when launching. https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 86: Loading Your Boat On The Trailer

    6. Make sure everything in the boat is secure or tied down. Do not put other gear in your boat while trailering. Place anything loose in towing vehicle. 7. Reconnect trailer lights. Check that lights are working. TRAILERING https://www.boat-manuals.com/lund/...
  • Page 87: Underway

    Have you checked the motor for leaks or signs of deterioration? Are fluid levels OK (engine oil, battery water, power steering fluid, etc.)? Is the engine free of obstructions?
