  • Page 6: Chapter 1 General Information

    1/General Information 1.1 General The EdgeWater 205EX has been designed to be powered by a single outboard engine. If the outboard you chose is two-cycle, make sure to monitor oil level in the oil tank, located in the aft starboard locker.

  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Helm Control Systems

    Refer to the engine manual supplied with your engine for specific information on your controls. The ones depicted are those supplied by Yamaha. Your EdgeWater 205EX comes only with a single engine. There are three major components of the engine throttle and shift controls: handles, throttle cable, shift cable. Throttle and shift cables are push-pull and are connected to the fuel system (carburetor or fuel injection) and the other to the shift rod linkage.

  • Page 8: Chapter 3 Propulsion System

    3/Propulsion System 3.1 General Your new EdgeWater 205EX is designed to be powered by a single outboard motor. Most 2-cycle outboards currently use an automatic system to mix the oil with the gasoline before the engine uses it. If equipped with a 2-cycle engine, there will be an oil tank in the aft starboard locker. Make sure this tank always has a sufficient amount of the recommended 2-cycle oil for your cruise, plus some reserve.

    https://www.boat-manuals.com/ Do not attempt control adjustments unless you are very familiar with their function, operation and adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the system components can adversely affect your boat’s performance and safety. Mis-adjustment can also cause severe control, engine or lower unit damage.

  • Page 10: Engine Power Tilt And Trim

    The power tilt and trim system on your outboard provides the ability to optimize the running angle of your EdgeWater 205EX to allow for load and sea conditions. Moving the outboard lower unit toward the transom is generally referred to as trimming “in”, while moving the outboard lower unit away from the transom is referred to trimming “out”.

A sudden rise from the normal should be investigated to determine if there is an obstruction in the cooling system. Water Pressure Gauge This gauge measures pressure in the engine cooling system. If the pressure changes from the norm it could indicate a complete or partial blockage in the system or a water pump problem.

  • Page 16: Chapter 7 Drainage System

    7/Drainage System 7.1 General All water drains from your EdgeWater 205EX by gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at rest. It is important to check drains frequently to make sure they are clear and free flowing. Review the schematic in the Appendix and become familiar with the location of each thru-hull drain.

  • Page 17: Locker Drains

    7.5 Locker Drains On the 205EX, there is a forward anchor locker which drains directly through the hull. It is possible that under certain conditions sea water may enter the locker. This is normal and no cause for alarm, some water may remain in the rear most part of the locker.

  • Page 18: Suggested Safety Equipment - Inshore

    https://www.boat-manuals.com/ A fire extinguisher is standard on all EdgeWater boats. These require regular inspection to make certain they are ready for use. Questions may be directed to the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline at 1-800-368-5647, or 1-202-267-1070. You should, as part of routine boat maintenance, check to make sure your extinguisher is still operable.

  • Page 19: Chapter 9 Safe Operation

    • It is advisable to carry jackets or foul weather gear in the event of adverse weather conditions. Your EdgeWater 205EX is equipped with a maximum capacity rating plate permanently affixed to the helm area of your boat. It will provide information regarding the maximum number of people you can safely have aboard, the maximum amount of weight the boat can safely carry, and the maximum horsepower your boat was designed to handle.

  • Page 20: Basic Rules Of The Road

    https://www.boat-manuals.com/ • Check to make sure everything is secure and properly stowed away; remember the boat’s movement is dynamic and anything that is loose will become a hazard at the worst possible time. • Have a great time on the water Remember that the captain is responsible for the safety of the crew and passengers and for his/her boat’s wake damage.

(This will bring the boat up on plane more quickly and easily.) Give the engine sufficient throttle to bring it to plane briskly, then back down to the cruising speed of your choice, based on the sea conditions and your planned activity.

  • Page 22: Towing Or Being Towed

    https://www.boat-manuals.com/ If you should strike an underwater object, bring the throttle to neutral and stop the engine. Inspect the lower unit for damage. If none is apparent, proceed as before but heighten your awareness of the engine and its operation to make sure a problem has not gone undetected.

  • Page 23: After Operation

    • Turn off all electronics and leave the battery switch in the off position. Remember, the bilge pump will operate properly even with the battery switch turned off. On a comforting note, your EdgeWater 205EX is fully self bailing and unsinkable. Proper precautions, of course, are always prudent. 9.8 Trailering Your Boat Note: If you have doubts or questions about your tow vehicle or towing, contact your dealer.

Upholstery Soap and water should be periodically used to clean the vinyl.
