Monterey 180 Edge Owner's Manual page 3

Introduction
Welcome Aboard! This manual has been produced with the recreational
boater in mind, as a guide to safe operating practices, general boating reg-
ulations and proper maintenance techniques. Included with this manual
may be manufacturer literature for the engine, trailer and other major com-
ponents. To ensure each boating experience is a safe and enjoyable one,
please read all the materials carefully before operating your newly pur-
chased craft.
If this is your first time owning or operating this style of boat, it is recom-
mended you contact your dealer or local boating agency to find out how to
enroll in a boater safety course prior to taking to the water.
Please keep this manual onboard for future reference and pass it along to
the new owner if you ever decide to sell the craft.
Because of our policy of continuous product improvement, the illustrations
used in this manual may not be the same as on your boat and are intend-
ed only as representative reference views.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
Safeguard information about your boat by recording the Hull Identification
Number (HIN) and model of your boat, and model and serial numbers of
the engine, trailer, and accessories on the inside front cover of this manual.
The HIN is located on the upper, starboard corner of the transom. The HIN
must be clearly visible and may not be removed, altered or tampered with
in any way as regulated by federal law.
The identification numbers are important! Keep a copy of these numbers
stored in a safe place off the boat. In case of theft, damage, etc., report
these numbers to the local authorities, your insurance agent and your deal-
er.
