Boating Experience

CONTROL HAZARD!
A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all times. DO NOT operate your boat
while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, obtain handling and
operating experience before assuming command of the boat.
Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.
For more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:
• U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org
• In Canada, for the CPS courses call 1-888-CPS-BOAT.
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org
Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local boat club can advise you of local
sea schools or competent instructors.
Engine & Accessory Guidelines
When storing your boat please refer to your engine's operation and maintenance manuals.
• Your boat's engines and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.
• Installing different engines or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.
• Should you choose to install different engines or to add accessories that will affect the boat's running trim, have an
experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
• Certain modifications to your boat will result in the cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check
with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.
Engine & Accessory Literature
