Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Safety Standards

!

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.

!

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.

• 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 Sport Boat Owner’s Manual and all accessory instructions for important safety standards and hazard information.

Engine & Accessories Guidelines

N OT I C E

When storing your boat please refer to your engine’s operation and maintenance manuals.

• Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.

• Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.

• Should you choose to install a different engine 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 can result in cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

Engine & Accessories Literature

• The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.

• Read and understand these manuals before using the engine and accessories.

• Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this supplement is included in your owner’s packet.

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Qualified Maintenance

!

WARN I NG!

To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, allow only qualified personnel to 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 (listed in the warning above) 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 Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, this Owner’s Manual Supplement, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory instruction sheets and manuals.

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.

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

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 water- craft can be fatal.

Facts about CO

• 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

4

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Where and How CO Can Accumulate

Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:

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

Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include: using its engine, generator, or other fuel burning device.

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 engine(s) 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 alarms inside your boat. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by the alarm manufacturer.

• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.

• Get a Vessel Safety Check.

For information on how to get a free VESSEL SAFETY CHECK, visit www.vesselsafetycheck.org or contact your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or United States Power Squadrons®.

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

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.

❏ Confirm that water flows from the exhaust outlet when the engines and generator are started.

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

❏ Test the operation of each CO alarm 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).

Carbon Monoxide Alarm System (2400SC Only)

!

DANGER !

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

The house battery switch must be in the "ON" position for the CO Moni- tors to work.

NOTI CE

The stereo memory and CO monitor(s) 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, or disconnect the battery if shore power is not an option.

Do not disconnect the alarm system.

• Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did not receive an instruction manual, call (800) 383-0269 and one will be mailed to you.

If your boat is not equipped with a carbon monoxide alarm, consider purchasing one from your dealer or marine supply store.

• The automatic bilge pump uses electromagnetic an float switch (autofloat) to turn on the pump whenever water rises above a preset level in the bilge.

• The autofloat switch is mounted next to each automatic bilge pump.

• The autofloat switch is wired directly to the battery and will normally function even when the boat is completely shut down and left unattended.

Test the autofloat switch often as follows:

1. Push the float switch test button

up to turn on the bilge pump.

• If the pump does not turn on, check the inline fuse.

• If the fuse is good but the switch still doesn’t work, it may mean the switch is bad or possibly the battery is low.

2. Push test button all the way

down to return the float switch to auto mode.
