Engines & Accessories Guidelines; Safety Standards; Qualified Maintenance - Bayliner Rendezvous Owner's Manual Supplement

2 CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD!
Engines & Accessories Guidelines
Your boat's engines and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance
and service. Installing different engines or accessories may cause unwanted han-
dling characteristics. Should you choose to install different engines or add accesso-
ries that will affect the boat's running trim, have an experienced marine technician
perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Please be advised that certain modifications to your boat can result in cancel-
lation of your limited warranty protection. Always check with your dealer
before making any modifications to your boat.
The engines and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation
and maintenance manuals. We strongly urge you to read and understand these man-
uals before operating the engines and accessories.

Safety Standards

Your boat's mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards in effect at the time it was built. Some of these standards were mandated by
law; all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of other people,
vessels and property.
In addition to this supplement, please read the owner's manual and all
accessory instruction sheets included in your owner's packet for important
safety standards and hazard information.
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! DO NOT allow anyone to ride on
parts of the boat not designated for such use. Sitting on seat
backs, lounging on the forward deck, bow riding, gunwale riding
or occupying the transom platform while underway is especially
hazardous and WILL cause personal injury or death.

Qualified Maintenance

Failure to maintain your boat's systems as designed could violate the laws in
your jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of
bodily injury or accidental death. We recommend that you follow all mainte-
nance instructions provided in the owner's manual, this supplement, the engine
owner's manual as well as all accessory instruction sheets and manuals included in
your boat's owner's packet.
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, only qualified personnel
should perform maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system,
propulsion system, engine control system, fuel system, environmental control
system, electrical system or navigational system.
