VHF Radio (Option)
Your boat may include an optional VHF (Very
High Frequency) radio at the helm.
The VHF radio can be used to access weather
reports, summon assistance or contact other
vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Com-
munications Commission). Contact the FCC
for licensing, rules and regulations concerning
VHF radio usage.
Lighting
Navigation and Interior Lights
We strongly recommend that you understand
navigation light usage by reading the naviga-
tion light section of the Owner's Manual.
The navigation and interior lights supplied
with your boat are of top quality, but you
should be aware that failure may periodically
occur for a variety of reasons:
• There may be a blown fuse - replace the fuse in the switch panel.
• The bulb may be burned out - carry spare bulbs for replacement.
• The bulb base may be corroded - clean the base and coat it with non-conductive electrical lubricant.
• A wire may be damaged or may have come loose - repair as required.
• Avoid the storage of gear where it would block navigation lights from view.
• Conserve battery usage. Prolonged operation of cabin interior lights (overnight) will result
in a drained battery.
Spotlight (Option)
Your boat may come equipped with an optional spotlight (located on the bow rail) which can be controlled by a
switch at the helm. Operating instructions can be found in the spotlight's operating manual (included in your boat's
owner's packet).
Appliances
All appliances installed on your boat come with their own manuals (supplied in your boat's owner's packet) that
explain detailed operating instructions and important safeguards. Thoroughly read and understand these manuals
before attempting to operate your boat's appliances.
• Appliances operate on 120 volt AC power, which may be supplied from shore power or optional generator power.
• Make sure the AC panel breaker is activated for the appliance you wish to turn on.
Water Heater
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD! The water heater must be kept full of water to avoid damage to
the 120 volt heating element. The water heater should also be drained and the power turned
OFF when the possibility of freezing exists.
