2 Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Safety Standards

Your boat's mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards 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 reading this owner's manual supplement, read the owner's manual and all accessory instruction sheets
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.

Structural Limitations

The transom platform is designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance. The load limit for this platform is 30
pounds per square foot, evenly distributed.

Qualified Maintenance

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.
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. Follow the instructions provided in the owner's
manual, this owner's manual supplement, the engine owner's manual and all accessory instruction sheets/manuals
included in your boat's owner's packet.

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:
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
• The hull below the waterline was painted with anti-fouling paint by 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,
we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
• Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
