Page 4: Warnings
WARNINGS ~ The hazard warning headings shown are used throughout this manual. We urge you to read these warnings carefully and follow all safety recommendations. These call attention to potentially dangerous situations which could lead to product damage, personal injury or death. DANGER Alerts you to immediate hazards which WILL cause severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored. -
Page 5: Welcome Aboard
WELCOME ABOARD - This manual has been prepared to assist you in the operation and care of your new boat. Please read it thoroughly as the contents can contribute to more effective operation of your boat. Your boat’s construction, including its mechanical and electrical systems (where applicable) were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time the boat was constructed. -
Page 6: Preparation
Keep them advised of any changes in your cruise plans. These precautions will enable them to tell rescue organisations where to search and the type of boat to look for, if you fail to return. Be sure to inform that person upon return to prevent any false alarms about your safety. -
Page 7: Basic Flotation
Many dealers package the basic safety kit with the boat at the time of sale, be sure to obtain a copy of your state regulations to ensure you have everything required. -
Page 8: Static Float Attitude
Operating ~ Many people would love to own and use a boat, but are kept away from their dreams by fears they would not be able to launch, operate and retrieve a boat. This uncertainty is relieved with practice and experience and you will soon gain confidence. -
Page 9: Portable Fuel Tank
WARNING The flotation material used in your boat can be affected by petrol and petroleum based products. Check the condition of the flotation material periodically by removing the floor. If a petroleum-based product is spilt inside your boat, check the condition of the flotation material prior to your next trip. -
Page 10: Engine Use
The purpose of a Lanyard Stop Switch is to stop the engine when the operator leaves the control station, either accidentally by falling in the boat or by being ejected overboard. This is most likely in certain types of boats such as low sided models or high performance boats. -
Page 11: Necessary Maintenance
Remember all boats steer by the stern (the feeling is much like steering your car in reverse). For example, when turning the steering wheel to the left, the stern of the boat will swing to the right as the boat goes into a left turn. This is particularly important to remember when docking, or in close quarters with other boats. -
Page 12: Preparation
HANDY TIP To tie up, run the line from the boat around the dock cleat and then back to the boat. This way you can untie the line without jumping from the deck to dock and back again. Instead, just cast off one end of the line and bring the whole length back on board. -
Page 13: Anchoring
Outboard engines usually deliver their best fuel economy at around 4,000-4,500 rpm. So, always try and set the boat up in this range when travelling any distance. The amount of load in the boat will also influence fuel economy to a degree, so don’t fill the boat up with unnecessary items. -
Page 14: Propeller
Persons in the water can be seriously injured, or killed if struck by a rotating propeller. Operate the motor only when an operator is seated securely at the controls. Turn the motor off when swimmers are entering or leaving the boat or in the water near the stern. -
Page 15: Boat Running Attitude
WARNING There is a risk of falling or ejecting out of the boat if standing or moving while the boat is in motion. If someone must stand while the boat is in motion, avoid speed changes that could cause the standing person to lose balance. Bow riders should not have people in the bow standing or kneeling or changing positions while the boat is in motion. -
Page 16: Performance
(trim was altered). A shift of passenger or gear load forward or aft will often correct minor boat riding deficiencies. Take care when placing items such as cooler box, water jugs, tackle box, anchor, tools, portable fuel tanks, etc., to help create more... -
Page 17: Instruments
WARNING Excessive speed at minimum trim in may cause undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions. Each boat should be tested for handling characteristics after any adjustment is made to the tilt angle (tilt bolt relocation). -
Page 18: General Maintenance & Repairs
Cleaning this will often get you underway again. Because water sinks to the bottom of a fuel tank, placing the carry tank on an angle - or parking the boat on an angle in the case of underfloor fuel tanks - causes all the water to collect in the lowest corner of the tank. A siphon pump can then be used to remove all of the water. -
Page 19: Cabin And Top Side Areas
The seats fitted to your vessel are rated to 75kg passenger weight. WARNING The seats or lounges are not to be stood on, or used as steps to enter or exit the boat. This practice could cause injuries to the boat occupants and also damage the seat and or fabric. -
Page 20: Canopy/Bimini Care
10 to 15 minutes and rinse with plenty of fresh water. If possible, the vinyl top parts of your boat should be stored indoors in a fairly warm, dry place. This will greatly extend the life of the material. Dry cleaning should be considered for interior fabrics other than vinyl. -

Page 23: Trailer Information
Wheel bearings Wheel bearings should be checked at least every 90 days and before putting the boat away for any lengthy period. They should be replaced every 6 months depending on trailer use. - Page 24 The boat should be fastened to the trailer by a cable or strap from the bow eye to the winch, plus a safety chain or cable from the bow eye to the winch stand or trailer tongue. The stern of the boat should be tied down to the trailer. Tie down...

Page 25: Trailering Tips
