  • Page 26: Boat Performance

    Many factors play a role in boat performance including weather, fuel, cargo weight, loading locations, etc. Below are some items to keep in mind as you try to keep your Sea Sport performing like it should. BOAT HANDLING The best method of learning how to handle and obtain the best performance from your boat is to practice and experiment.

  • Page 27: Weather Conditions

    maintenance is not performed. If engines are neglected, power will drop and speed will decrease. In addition, expensive repairs may become necessary. Be sure to follow all instructions in the engine operation manuals. The engine manufacturer supplies all vital information concerning your engines in the operation and maintenance manuals or online. Details of important engine maintenance schedules, lubrication system, cooling system and engine alert systems are outlined in these manuals.

  • Page 28: Trim

    As you get familiar with the tabs, if something feels awkward just reduce your speed, reset the tabs to full up and start over. Discuss trim tab operation and the effect the tabs and engine trim can have on your Sea Sport with your Dealer.

  • Page 29: Throttle/Shift Control

    (fly-by-wire, etc.) NEUTRAL SAFETY - The engine(s) on your new Sea Sport contains a neutral safety switch which prevents the engine from being started in gear. When starting your engine the control lever must be placed in the neutral/middle position. When functioning properly, this mechanism does not allow the engine to start when the control is not in the neutral position.

  • Page 30: Steering

    FORWARD THROTTLE - To engage the throttle mechanism while in forward gear position continue to move the lever forward past the detent in a controlled motion. This motion will begin to increase engine RPM which will cause the boat to move forward.

  • Page 31: Sea Sport Functional Systems

    The wheel can still be controlled manually if the power steering mechanism fails. Consult with your Dealer on the operation and performance of your power steering system. SEA SPORT FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS (WASTE/WATER/ELECTRICAL/WINDLASS/) WASTE DECK FITTING There is a stainless-steel fitting installed on the gunwale in the cockpit marked “Waste”. Most marinas and some municipalities can empty your holding tank through this fitting.

    (wet bowl) to flush. Set Y valve to “overboard” or “holding tank”. Now use toilet. Review manufacturer’s literature for toilet operation instructions. Review schematic at the end of this manual for routing overview. EMPTYING THE TANK OVERBOARD To empty the holding tank overboard with the macerator, make sure the overboard ball valve is in the open position and the deck-plate pump-out fitting is tight.

  • Page 33: Fresh Water System

    SHOWER If your Sea Sport is equipped with a shower, there is a compartment in the shower that holds the shower “wand”. The wand is attached to a hose that can be pulled out for convenience.

  • Page 34: Wash-Down Hose

    Power to your Sea Sport will originate with either a 120V source at shore power/generator or a 12V source through the battery system. Every Sea Sport has one battery for each engine along with a house battery for all other loads. Power is distributed through a battery switch on the 12V side and a power distribution panel on the 120V side.

  • Page 35: Inverter

    Charging the batteries from either the engine alternator or the battery charger is done through the automatic voltage sensing relays. These relays do the work for you automatically. Nothing manually needs to be done. Review the manual for this equipment for more information. INVERTER Please get familiar with the manufacturers manual as well as how the system is wired and switched.

  • Page 36: Anchor Windlass

    USING AN ANCHOR WINDLASS Anchoring can be less laborious if your boat has an anchor windlass accessory. Sea Sport Boats install a 12-volt windlass and an anchor roller as optional equipment on all models. The windlass is protected by a breaker and operated by a rocker toggle switch at the helm or via remote control.

  • Page 37: Interior Operation

    how your boat performs when operating the thruster, as performance will depend on many factors that can change quickly. Also note that the thruster is typically quite loud, so be prepared.

  • Page 40: Common Gauges & Switches

    COMMON GAUGES AND SWITCHES Every switch and gauge on your console or in your GPS unit has a function and a purpose. Get to know how these gauges work, what they are for, what they indicate and what acceptable ranges are for you and your boat. ENGINE SCREEN/DIGITAL GAUGE Your engine package, whether installed at NMI or at the Dealership comes with its own computerized digital gauge system.
  • Page 41 RPM achievable when some warning systems are activated is 2,500 RPM. Consult your authorized dealer if your engine is not achieving proper operating RPM. Also understand how to turn off the warning signal as this can sometimes affect navigation sensibility. Remember that an alarm has occurred and return to port to fix the issue. FUEL GAUGE (Analog) This feature indicates the gas tank fuel level (if equipped).
  • Page 42 The defrost/fan button on the dash pushes AMBIENT air from the cabin and directs it through the directional outlets that point to each of the three front windows. If your Sea Sport is equipped with a central heating system, these vents will be plumbed to the heater and will shoot warm air.
  • Page 43 Circuit breakers are located either on the switch panel or nearby on a dedicated breaker panel. If a breaker trips repeatedly, troubleshoot the circuit for shorts or a malfunctioning device. The marine environment is harsh, and connections may get corroded quickly. Wiring diagrams for your Sea Sport model are included in this manual. STEREO The stereo component can include satellite radio, aux inputs, CD, AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth, etc.

  • Page 44: Maintenance

    A few simple steps will keep your fiberglass looking showroom bright for years. Your new Sea Sport boat may have two, three or even ten different types of interior finishes that need care. Your dealer should walk you through each surface and the proper treatment per the manufacturer’s recommendation for each, but below is a brief overview:...
  • Page 45 ▪ Compounding too often or excess compounding can wear away the gelcoat (down to fiberglass layer). ▪ When buffing is complete wash away compound with clear clean water and dry the area. ▪ Once the area is clean it may be waxed. This will enhance the gloss while providing a seal to retard staining or soil accumulation.

  • Page 46: Fabric

    Resin, gelcoat, and acetone are flammable hazardous chemicals that must be handled properly. Follow instructions carefully. After the gelcoat is catalyzed it will heat up and emit fumes. When finished with catalyzed chemicals or if they start to build up heat, submerse completely in water until cool. Perform work outside in a controlled environment if possible.

  • Page 47: Wood

    WOOD The teak has been treated with a Penetrating Waterproof Sealer (similar or equal to Dalys Seafin Ship’n Shore) and Dalys Seafin Teak Oil. You can treat your teak with Teak Oil once a year or as necessary. Use as directed, but most effective is to dust off and wipe on with damp rag, and remove within one hour.

  • Page 48: Caulking & Gaskets

    These parts must be washed periodically with a very mild soap and water solution. Sea Sport recommends washing with a mild soap (such as Ivory Liquid) after each use and every two to three weeks if stored in an outside marine environment.

  • Page 49: Scuppers

    BATTERIES Every Sea Sport has a battery dedicated to starting each engine, along with one house battery. Each should be secured in a non- metallic tray to contain any electrolyte spills and an insulated boot should cover at least the positive battery terminals. If your boat has a shore power connection it likely also has a battery charger.

  • Page 50: Winterization & Storage

    Consult with your Dealer on how to operate your specific power system, along with proper battery maintenance and operation with different electrical components. For more information about your Electrical System, reference the “SEA SPORT FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS” portion of this manual.

  • Page 51: Boat Lifting

    This information is presented as a general guide and the actual storage should be performed by a professional and authorized Sea Sport dealership. BOAT LIFTING To avoid personal injury and property damage it is advised to take extra precautions when lifting or moving the boat for storage.

  • Page 52: Cleaning & Lubricating

    If the boat is shrink-wrapped with plastic for storage, the fuel fill and vent fittings must be outside of the enclosure to prevent the trapping of dangerous fumes or spillage from thermal expansion. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE BOAT Clean and wax the boat before storage. If your boat spends any length of time in the water there may be a layer of growth on the bottom.

  • Page 53: Waste System

    When storing your boat on a trailer or stacked, remove the drain plug and open all valves and seacocks to keep the bilge dry. Store your boat with the bow elevated for drainage. Drain all water tanks, lines and pumps to prevent freeze damage. The fresh water system may be drained by running any faucet until the tank is empty.

  • Page 54: Batteries

    Make sure engines are completely out of the water during any prolonged storage. We hope you found value in this manual. We at Sea Sport want nothing but the best experiences for you, your family, and your friends. We wish you safe and wonderful travels, and we hope you enjoy everything that Sea Sport has to offer.

  • Page 55: Trailering

    TRAILERING CHECKLIST  Consult your state laws as to brake and axle load requirements.  Check brakes for proper operation and fluid level prior to departure on each trip.  Check springs and undercarriage for loose parts.  Check tires for proper inflation. Under-inflated tires heat up rapidly and tire damage or failure is more likely to occur.

  • Page 56: Pre-Start

    The following checks are essential to safe boating and must be performed before starting the engine. Get in the habit of performing these checks in the same order each time so that it becomes routine. It is recommended that your Sea Sport be re- commissioned by an authorized dealer.

  • Page 57: Departure

     Check that all navigation lights operate properly.  Check that fuel and oil levels are adequate. Always carry more fuel than you anticipate using, in case you are forced to change your plans for weather or other reasons. Check both analog and digital gauges for consistency. ...
  • Page 58  Close windows and hatches (probably should do this before the washdown process)  Turn off heater. Turn on dehumidifier and/or other heating device using shore power to minimize mold/mildew.  Lock door. STORAGE CHECKLIST In addition to the winterization narrative, use the following checklist as a guide for storing your boat. Additional details should be added as needed for your personal application.
