  • Page 8: Section 1: Safety

    The precautions listed in this Owner’s Manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a procedure, method, tool, or part is not specifically recommended by NauticStar, using it may place you and others in an unsafe situation; in addition, you may render your warranty void.

  • Page 9: Safety Afloat

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY 2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave, SE Washington, DC 20593-7501 (202)267-1001 www.uscg.mil http://www.uscgboating.org SAFETY AFLOAT The cause of many boating accidents is often the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Many accidents can be avoided if an operator is completely familiar with the boat, its operation, and can recognize potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

  • Page 10: Hazardous Operations

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL • All persons must be seated in an on-plane seating area while the boat is in motion. (A seating label is affixed in each model.) Never stand or allow passengers to stand in the boat or sit on the motor box or tower (where equipped), gunwale, decks, or any location other than on-plane seating while underway.

  • Page 11: Carbon Monoxide (Co)

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of long-term carbon monoxide exposure can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations.

  • Page 12: Where C0 May Accumulate

    NauticStar recommends using the driver seat bolster or standing to maintain a safe lookout and proper visibility when necessary. Everyone on board should always pay attention to other vessels, people and objects located near the boat, activities taking place in or near the water, and should always be supportive of the boat operator.

  • Page 13: In The Event Of A Fire

    • PFDs should never be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them. • The U.S. Coast Guard, as well as NauticStar, always recommends the wearing of PFDs when the vessel is underway, even though it is not a requirement.

  • Page 14: Running Aground Or Striking Underwater Objects

    Ascertain whether there is damage to the hull. If water can be stopped from entering the boat, cautiously return to dock. Have the boat checked out by your authorized NauticStar dealer to be certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water does not intrude initially, difficulties may occur later.

  • Page 15: Section 2: Equipment

    We suggest the following equipment as a minimum (your NauticStar dealer can also assist you with additional recommendations): •...

  • Page 16: Visual Distress Signals

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL • One short blast: PASS ON MY PORT SIDE. • Two short blasts: PASS ON MY STARBOARD SIDE. • Three short blasts: MY ENGINES ARE IN REVERSE. • Five or more blasts: DANGER! NOTE: The requirement to carry a bell on board no longer applies to vessels operating on International Waters.

  • Page 17: Navigational Lights

    WARNING LABELS Warning labels are placed on your NauticStar boat at the time of manufacture to alert operators to potential hazards that may not be obvious. These labels also indicate how to avoid hazards. Warning labels should never be removed and must remain legible.

  • Page 42: Section 5: Rules Of The Open Water

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL SECTION 5: RULES OF THE OPEN WATER Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that apply when driving a boat on the water. These rules are used internationally, and they are enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies.
  • Page 43 OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Meeting If you are meeting another vessel head-on, and you are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right of-way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. (This rule does not apply if both of you can clear each other by continuing your set course and speed.)

  • Page 44: Sailing Vessel Right-Of-Way

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Overtaking If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way as you clear it, altering course and speed, as necessary. Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you are the stand-on vessel, and you should maintain your speed and direction so that the vessel can be steered around you.

  • Page 45: Reading Buoys And Other Markers

    OFFSHORE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL • When preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct your view of other water vessels, you should sound a prolonged blast on the horn or with a whistle for four (4) to six (6) seconds.

    It is these layers that give the boat its strength and maintain the hull shape.
