Documents And Forms Overview - Hunter 50CC Operation Manual

Your Hunter dealer completes the
Inspection Report p p (Fig. 2.1) before you take delivery
of your boat. It is the dealer's responsibility to both you
and to Hunter to give your boat a final inspection. The
purpose of this inspection is to assure proper adjustment
and operation of the entire vessel. Your dealer should
provide you with the Pre-Delivery Inspection Report at
the time of delivery.
Hunter will not pay warranty costs for items that should
have been covered in the pre-delivery service inspection
and recorded on the Pre-Delivery Inspection Report.
Owners must coordinate with the dealer to insure
Hunter warranty registration is completed and returned
to Hunter.
Inserted at the end of this section are several records
you will find helpful.
Use the BOAT RECORD (Fig. 2.2) to record all impor-
tant information about your boat and its equipment. After
your dealer has recorded all the information, remove the
record from your Owner's Manual and store in a safe
place. Do not keep this form aboard your boat.
The FLOAT PLAN (Fig 2.4) provides a record of your
destination, departure and return times, boat descrip-
tion, passenger list, and other information about the trip
you have planned. At the bottom of the form is space for
listing emergency phone numbers in case your return
is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for
indicating information about the person filling the report.
Leave the completed form ashore with a responsible
person. We recommend you make several copies of this
form each boating season to make sure you have a good
supply.
The MAINTENANCE LOG (Fig 2.5) helps to keep main-
tenance records in one place. Using this log will allow
you to track maintenance work that has been completed
and to determine when maintenance is required. Your
dealer will also find this information helpful. If you decide
to sell your boat, the maintenance record will make your
boat seeable because it tells prospective buyers that you
have taken good care of your boat.
The ACCIDENT REPORT, No one likes to think about
having a boating accident, but boating accidents do
happen. You must file an accident report after a boating
accident just as you must file an accident report after an
automobile accident. A copy of the U.S. Coast Guard
Accident Report is included at the end of this section.
