  • Page 27: Boating Under The Influence

    Boating Safety The operator of the boat is responsible by law to “maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing.” The operator must ensure that he/she has an unobstructed view particularly to the front. No passengers or equipment should block the operator’s view. Look carefully before turning, especially when you are turning around to pick up a fallen skier.

  • Page 41: Our Environment

    Boating Safety Our Environment As a boater, you already appreciate nature’s beauty and the peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater’s responsibility to protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean. Foreign Species If you trailer your boat from lake to lake, you may unknowingly introduce a foreign aquatic species from one lake to the next.

  • Page 42: Discharge/Disposal Of Waste

    Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak performance. Consult your Nautique dealer for information. Paints If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate.

  • Page 43: Cleaning Agents

    Boating Safety Cleaning Agents Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. DO NOT mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas. DO NOT use products which contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products.

  • Page 45: General Watersport Precautions

    Boating Safety SAFETY ALERT From August 28, 2001: The United States Coast Guard advised boaters not to "Teak/Drag Surf." Recent boating fatalities revealed that carbon monoxide (CO) emitted from a vessel’s exhaust resulted in CO poisoning and the death of at least six teak surfers. "Teak/Drag Surfing" places the individual in position directly exposed to the CO in the engine’s exhaust.
  • Page 46 Section 1 • DO NOT Kitefly. • Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing hand signals and common skiing courtesy. • Be sure to turn off the engine before allowing anyone to approach the boat. • The engine MUST be shut down (OFF) before a skier enters or exits the boat, boarding platform or ladder.
  • Page 47 • Be sure to inspect the tow eye or pylon before use. If there is any evidence of corrosion or other damage, do not use until it has been inspected by your Nautique dealer. • Be sure to wear wet suits or protective shorts when skiing to prevent abrasions, hypothermia and injuries to orifices (rectal and vaginal) from impact with a water surface.

    Section 3 Standard and Optional Equipment Nautique boats are equipped with only the finest standard and optional equipment available. Your boat’s equipment will vary, based on how your boat was built. Many options can only be installed during the manufacturing of the boat and cannot be retro- fitted to boats in the field.

  • Page 81: Controls And Indicators

    Improper maintenance may result in a loss of control, possibly causing serious injury or death. Steering The steering system in your Nautique boat provides excellent maneuvering performance for pleasure boating or during watersports. Boat steering is not self-centering. Always keep a secure grip on the steering wheel to maintain full boat control.

  • Page 82: Hydro-Gate™ Control And Sportshift

    Section 4 The helm transfers rotary motion of the steering wheel to linear motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder. Nautique rudders are equipped with an adjustable trim tab under license from Z-Marine (U.S. patent 5,746,147) to compensate for the torque generated by the propeller.

  • Page 221: Winterizing Your Boat

    Section 10 CORC078 The raw water strainer bowl (A) remains full of water even after the rest of the engine cooling water system is drained. To properly winterize your boat, the strainer bowl must be removed and emptied. DO NOT lose the rubber O-ring (B) that seals the bowl to the cap.

  • Page 223: Check For Water In Your Fuel System

    Check your Fuel Control Cell once each year for signs of water in the canister. If it appears there is water buildup in the canister, see your Nautique dealer for service. An empty fuel tank can accumulate water inside by changing temperature and repeated cycles of condensation on the inner surfaces of the tank.

  • Page 224: Winterizing Ballast Tanks (If Equipped)

    Section 10 Add a good quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel prior to winterizing to slow down the rate of fuel decomposition. You can purchase a fuel stabilizer at your servicing dealer, most marinas or an auto supply store. Add the stabilizer to the tank. If you did not add the stabilizer previously, run the engine to circulate fuel throughout the system.
