Introduction - BENETEAU 331 Owner's Manual

I)

INTRODUCTION

Many parts and systems installed on your boat are supplied by other manufacturers
and each carries a specific warranty and may require specific care. This manual
supplements the literature supplied with the various equipment and we will refer to
manufacture's literature throughout this booklet. We recommend referring to original
manufacturer's literature whenever possible.
This manual is broken down into several sections to help explain your boat, your
warranty, responsibilities as an owner, and maintenance of your new Beneteau. The
systems and procedures described in this manual were correct to the best of our
knowledge at the time of printing and may be changed at any time or may have been
changed on your boat. While we have tried to describe the major points of your boat
within this book, we cannot cover every detail. Please call your dealer or feel free to call
us if any question should arise.
If you are a seasoned sailor much of the manual may be old news but if this is your
first boat, we hope this will prove useful.
Should you need to contact Beneteau please use the following addresses and
numbers, be sure to include your model and hull number with any correspondence.
