Welcome Aboard; Owner's Manual Structure - Glastron Boats User Manual

WELCOME ABOARD

Congratulations on the purchase of one of the finest plea-
sure boats in the world. It has been proudly built to give
you many years of boating pleasure.
We've done our part—
Pride of craftsmanship is your assurance that you've
bought the very best. All Glastron models meet or exceed
U.S. Coast Guard safety standards relating to load and
horsepower capacity, flotation, electrical, steering, ventila-
tion, and fuel systems, in effect the date of manufacture.
But our work is not over—
We stand behind every boat we build. Your Glastron dealer
will assist you with registration of your boat for warranty.
They will be happy to help you maintain your boat and
answer questions concerning warranty, performance,
accessories, and service. The warranty card must be filled
out and sent to establish your warranty.
Now it's your turn—
Your Owner's Manual is intended to help you become
familiar with your new boat. While this manual contains
information to assure safe and enjoyable boating, it does
not provide everything you need to know. Above all, take
time to know your boat. Read the material supplied by the
manufacturer of your engine. Your owner's manual does
not supersede or change any of their specifications, opera-
tion, or maintenance instructions. Also read all literature
supplied with your boat by the manufacturers of the
various accessories which are used on your boat. Glastron
Boats recommends that you read the boating literature
published by your State Boating Agency.

OWNER'S MANUAL STRUCTURE

Your owner's manual should be used as a guide to famil-
iarize yourself with all the systems and components
onboard your Glastron boat. The procedures in this manu-
al will assist you with safe and proper operation, and
maintenance of your boat. The level of information may be
general in some cases and more detailed in others.
Suppliers of the more complex components such as
engine, electronics, pumps, and refrigerator, supply their
own instructional manuals delivered to you when you pur-
chased your boat. These suppliers maintain their own
manufacturer's warranty and service facilities. It is essen-
tial that you fill-out each warranty card and mail them to
each manufacturer informing that you are a registered
owner of their product(s). Record all information regarding
these products on the "Boat Log" located in this chapter
under Boat Records. Keep the Boat Log in a safe place at
home and never onboard the boat.
Your owner 's manual is designed with the boat
owner/operator in mind. The intent of the manual is to pro-
vide sufficient information to allow the user to safely
operate and maintain your new Glastron boat. Your
Owner's Manual is structured as follows:
