Qualified Maintenance
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.
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 this owner’s manual supplement, please read the owner’s manual and all accessory instruction
sheets for important safety standards and hazard information.
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.
WARNING!
!
NOTICE
• 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, Interpro-
tect 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.
