Special Care For Moored Boats; Safety Standards - Bayliner Trophy 1703FS Owner's Manual Supplement

Special Care For Moored Boats

If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its
hull bottom. This will detract from the boat's beauty, greatly affect its performance
and may damage the gelcoat. There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
1. Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a
bristle brush and a solution of soap and water.
2. The hull below the waterline was painted with anti-fouling paint at the factory.
Occasionally you will need to re-paint it with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on
moored boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. Cover the barrier coating with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints. Ask your local
dealer about the laws in effect in your area.

Safety Standards

Your boat's mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards in effect at the time it was constructed. Some of these standards were man-
dated 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, read the Owner's Manual, warning labels, and all liter-
ature 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 or the aft sunlounge cushions while under-
way is especially hazardous and WILL cause personal injury or death.
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! Always secure the anchor and other loose
objects before getting underway. The anchor and other items that are not
properly secured can come loose when the boat is moving and cause personal
injury or death.
