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.

!

DANGER !

FALLING, ROTATING PROPELLER and CARBON

MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

NEVER allow anyone to occupy, or hang from, the back deck or swim platform while the engine(s) are running.

Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving watercraft can be fatal.

!

PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD!

ALWAYS secure the anchor and other loose objects BEFORE getting underway.

The anchor and other items that are NOT properly secured can come loose when the boat is moving and cause personal injury or death.

!

WARNI N G!

A wide variety of components used on this vessel contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Examples Include:

Engine and generator exhaust

Engine and generator fuel, and other liquids such as coolants and oil, especially used motor oil

305 Owner’s Manual Supplement Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Special Care For Moored Boats

NOTI CE

To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating. 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.

Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, 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:

1. Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap and water.

2. Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.

Sacrificial Anode (Zinc)

NOTI CE

Do NOT paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do NOT paint over the zinc.

If the zinc is NOT bonded correctly, it will NOT provide protection.

Your boat is equipped with a sacrificial anode (zinc) to protect underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration.

Check the zinc regularly and replace it if it has deteriorated more than 70%.

Many factors affect the rate at which the zinc deteriorates, including:

Water temperature

Salinity

Water pollution

Stray Electrical current

Stray electrical current from your boat, another boat, or the dock may cause complete deterioration of the zinc in just a few weeks. If there is rapid zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your boat with a corrosion test meter.

Boat Lifting

!

WARNI N G!

PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

Lifting slings may slip on the hull.

Avoid serious injury or death by securing the lifting slings together BEFORE lifting.

!

WARNI N G!

PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

NEVER lift any boat using the cleats, or the bow and stern eyes.

!

WARNI N G!

PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

Water in the bilge can shift and change the balance of the load.

If water is present in the bilge, pump or drain the water out of the bilge areas BEFORE lifting your boat.

!

CAUTI ON

PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

When lifting any boat, ALWAYS use a spreader bar. The spreader bar MUST be equal to the width of the boat at each lifting point.

LIFTING SLING LABELS

(TYPICAL PORT & STARBOARD)

2' 13' 6"

Always follow the lift equipment’s instructions and requirements.

Water in the bilge can shift and change the balance of the load.

305 Owner’s Manual Supplement Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

!

DANGER !

Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and extremely dangerous.

All engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as exhaust.

Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to high concentrations WILL cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.

Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving watercraft can be fatal.

CO Facts

CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.

Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.

CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your boat.

CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.

CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.

CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.

Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.

The effects are cumulative. Even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.

Factors that Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning

Age

Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke

Consumption of alcohol

Lung disorders

Heart problems

Pregnancy

7

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Where and How CO Can Accumulate

Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:

305 Owner’s Manual Supplement

A.

Using engine, generator, or other fuel burning device when boat is moored in a confined space.

To correct stationary situations A and/or B:

Close all windows, portlights and hatches.

If possible, move your boat away from source of CO.

B.

Mooring too close to another boat that is using its engine, generator, or other fuel burning device.

Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:

C.

Running boat with trim angle of bow too high.

D.

Running boat without through ventilation

(station wagon effect).

To correct running situations C and/or D:

Trim bow down.

Open windows and canvas.

When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.

How to Protect Yourself and Others From CO

Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat (see above).

Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times.

Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.

Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or swim platform while the engines are running.

Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.

Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the boat, take

immediate action to dissipate these fumes.

Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person into fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.

Install and maintain CO monitors inside your boat. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace monitors as recommended by the monitor manufacturer.

Follow the checklists provided on the next page.

CO Checklists

Trip Checklist

❏ Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your boat.

❏ Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.

❏ When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boat.

❏ Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an exhaust component failure.

❏ Test the operation of each CO monitor by pressing the test button.

Monthly Checklist

❏ Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.

❏ Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking, water leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.

❏ Inspect rubber exhaust hoses for burned, cracked, or deteriorated sections. All rubber hoses should be pliable and free of kinks.

Annual Checklist

Have a Qualified Marine Technician:

❏ Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.

❏ Ensure that your engines and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.

❏ Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling systems are in working condition.

❏ Inspect all metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water injection elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple between the manifold and the elbow.

❏ Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).

CO Monitor

NOTI CE

The stereo memory and the CO monitor place a small, but constant drain on the battery.

If your boat will be unattended for an extended amount of time, plug into shore power with the battery charger turned On.

Do not disconnect the CO monitor.

Read the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO monitor. If you did not receive the manufacturer’s instruc- tions, call (800) 383-0269 and one will be mailed to you.

If your boat is not equipped with a CO monitor, consider purchasing one from your dealer or marine supply store.

Canvas Care (see also ‘Clear Vinyl Care’ on next page)

After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the canvas with cold freshwater.

Before stowing, let the canvas air-dry completely.

The canvas can be rolled or folded for stowage.

Cleaning Canvas

!

CAUTI ON

Never use detergents when washing the canvas. Detergents can destroy the water repellency and mildew/UV resistant finish of your canvas.

Regularly clean the canvas to prevent dirt, pollen, and etc. from embedding in the fabric. Generally, it is easiest to wash the canvas while it is installed on the boat.

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove all dust and loose dirt.

1. Hose down the canvas with freshwater.

2. Gently wash the canvas with a solution of lukewarm water (no more than 100

°

F) and non-detergent soap, such as Lux or Ivory Flakes.

3. Rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.

4. Before stowing, let the canvas dry completely.

Stubborn Stains

!

CAUTI ON

Soaking in bleach solutions may remove the waterproof finish of the fabric and may also decrease the life of the polyester thread used in the canvas.

If necessary, a water repellent treatment should be reapplied to your canvas. Ask your dealer about the treatments available for your boat’s canvas.

Some stubborn stains may resist normal washing and you can try the following methods. However, these methods may remove the waterproof finish of the fabric and may also decrease the life of the polyester thread used in the canvas. Reapply a water repellent treatment as necessary.

Method 1

1. Add 1/8 cup (2 oz.) of non-chlorine bleach to one gallon of water and mix thoroughly.

2. Thoroughly wet the canvas and then gently scrub the stained area with the weak bleach solution.

3. Rinse with cold water to remove all of the solution.

Method 2

1. Add 1/2 cup (4 oz.) of non-chlorine bleach and 1/2 cup (4 oz.) Ivory Flakes to one gallon of water and mix thoroughly.

2. Soak the canvas in this solution for about 20 minutes.

3. Rinse with cold water to remove all of the solution.
