The material here and in the rest of the Owner’s

Manual Packet:

• Gives you basic safety information;

• Describes the features of your boat;

• Describes the equipment on your boat;

• Describes the fundamentals of boat use; and

• Contains service and maintenance information.

You must learn to operate this boat as well as read, understand and use this manual.

What this manual does not give you is a course in boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor or dock your boat. Operating a power boat safely requires more skills, knowledge and awareness than is necessary for a car or truck.

The “Hull Identification Number” located on the starboard side of the transom, is the most important identifying factor and must be included in all correspondence and orders. Failure to include it creates delays. Also of vital importance are the engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing about or ordering parts for your engine. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for locations of engine serial numbers and record them for future reference.

ERTIFICATION

As a boat manufacturer, Sea Ray builds their products to guidelines established under the Federal

Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Act is promulgated by the United States Coast Guard who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manufacturers that sell products in the United States. Sea Ray ensures that all of its products comply with these laws.

The NMMA, National Marine Manufacturers

Association, provides Sea Ray with a third party certification. The NMMA is an organization that represents the marine industry and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, marinas, repair yards and component suppliers in areas of legislation, environmental concerns, marine business growth and state and federal government agency interaction. The third party certification that Sea Ray participates in, uses the well know Standards and

Recommended Practices of the ABYC, American

Boat and Yacht Council.

Sea Ray Boats participates extensively in the

American Boat and Yacht Council which is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards and recommended practices for boat and equipment design, construction, service and repair. We utilize all applicable ABYC standards in the construction of your Sea Ray boat.

Finally, Sea Ray sells their products world wide and as such must conform to the various rules and regulations required by other countries. Most notably, are the ISO standards in Europe which require the application of the CE (Common

European) mark. This mark, much like the NMMA certification here in the US, gives you the boat owner specific information concerning your craft.

For more information, turn to Section 1 - Safety, subsections 8 and 12 which explains in detail the

CE plate and its importance.

Safe Boating Means:

• Knowing the limitations of your boat;

• Following the rules of the road;

• Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects in the water;

• Not boating in water or weather conditions that are beyond the boat’s and the operator’s capability;

• Never boating when the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol;

• Being aware of your passenger’s safety at all times; and

• Reducing speed when there is limited visibility, rough water, nearby people in the water, boats, or structures.

Boating in beautiful weather and calm water conditions can be a wonderful experience.

Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtain these skills, you must:

• Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron or equivalent boating safety course. Call the Boat/

U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 for information on available courses.

• Get hands-on training on how to operate your boat properly.

In Addition:

• Maintain your boat and its safety and other systems as recommended in this manual.

• Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanic or dealer, at least annually.

• Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety equipment is on board and functions. (See page iv).

ABELS

Safety precautions are given throughout this manual and labels are mounted at key locations throughout the boat. This safety information advises the owner/ operator and passengers of imperative safety precautions to follow when operating and/or servicing equipment.

• Figures 1.17.1 thru 1.21.1 show the location of the safety labels on your boat.

• Do not remove or obstruct any safety label.

• Replace any label which becomes illegible.

Replacement safety labels can be obtained by calling your dealer or Sea Ray at 1-800-

SRBOATS for information on how to contact the manufacturing facility for your boat.

The meaning associated with each of the four basic types of label is:

! DANGER

DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.

! WARNING

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.

! CAUTION

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor injury or product or property damage if the warning is ignored.

The following equipment is the minimum required by the U.S. Coast Guard for a boat from 40’ to less than 65’ [12.2 meters to less than 19.8 meters] in length.

Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s): One Coast

Guard approved Type I, II or III device is mandatory for each person aboard. One throwable Type IV device is also required to be on board. A Type V device is acceptable if worn for approved use. See

Page 1.5 for a description of these PFD classifications. Always wear a PFD when boating.

NOTICE

PFD REQUIREMENTS DIFFER

Depending on the state or country of operation the operator of a vessel may be fined for failure to comply with local or national rules regarding PFD usage.

YSTEM

Your boat is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system located in the engine compartment. In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive automatic head in the engine compartment will release a fire-extinguishing vapor, totally flooding the area.

The switch panel contains an indicator light for the automatic fire extinguishing system. The light will be ON when the ignition is on and indicates that the system is ready. If the light goes out while the ignition is on, the system has discharged.

WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY

AFETY

Figure 1.3.1 gives examples of boat operating conditions that can lead to high concentrations of carbon monoxide gas.

To minimize the danger of CO accumulation when the engine and/or generator are running, or using burning fuel applications.

• Be sure to have sufficient ventilation when using canvas or window-type side curtains when underway, anchored, moored or docked.

• If the convertible top is installed, operate with the forward hatch open and leave cabin door open.

• Operate all burning fuel appliances, such as charcoal, propane, LPG, CNG or alcohol cooking devices in areas where fresh air can circulate. Do not use such devices where there is no noticeable air movement, especially in the cabin, when anchored, moored or docked.

• Do not idle engine without moving boat for more than 15 minutes at a time.

• Inspect the exhaust system regularly. (See

Section 8, Required Inspection, Service and

Maintenance.

If CO poisoning is suspected, have the victim breath fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.

It is extremely important that you become totally familiar with your CO monitor and its functions.

Read and understand the CO monitor information and operating instructions located in your Owner’s

Manual Packet.

Even strong swimmers can tire quickly in the water and drown due to exhaustion, hypothermia, or both.

The buoyancy provided by a personal flotation device (PFD) will allow the person who has fallen overboard to remain afloat with far less effort and heat loss, extending survival time necessary to find and retrieve them.

Boat operators are required to carry one wearable personal flotation device (Type I, II, III or V) for every person on board. Boats must also have at least one throwable device (Type IV).

The law requires that PFD’s must be readily accessible, if not worn. “Readily accessible” means removed from storage bags and unbuckled. But, children and nonswimmers must wear PFDs at all times when aboard. It is common sense to have everyone on board wearing PFDs. A throwable device must also be right at hand and ready to toss.

Death or serious injury can result if you fail to observe these safety rules:

• Anyone who controls the boat must have taken a boating safety course and have trained in the proper operation of the boat.

• Always operate the boat at speeds that will not put people or property in danger.

• Be constantly aware of conditions in all directions when underway and before turning.

• Reduce speed, use a lookout to identify possible hazards or difficulties, and turn on navigation lights when:

- visibility is impaired;

- in rough water; and

- in congested waterways.

• Watch your wake. It can capsize a small boat or damage moored boats or other property. You are responsible for damage caused by your wake.

Your passengers are relying on you to operate and maneuver the boat safely so that they are not in danger of going overboard. If you turn to quickly, increase or decrease speed abruptly, your passengers are at risk of being thrown overboard or thrown about the boat.

When visibility becomes impaired because of weather, time of day or high bow angle you must slow down so that you have sufficient time to react if an emergency occurs. Nearby boats face similar risks in avoiding a collision with you.

The wind speed and wave height specified as the upper limit for your category of boat does not mean that you or your passengers can survive if your boat is exposed to these conditions. It is only the most experienced operators and crew that may be able to operate a boat safely under these conditions. You must always be aware of weather conditions and head for port or protected waters in sufficient time to avoid being caught in high winds and rough water.

Do not take chances!

Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Bad weather and/or rough sea or water conditions can cause an unsafe situation. Consult local weather information, or listen to the NOAA weather reports for the latest weather conditions or any impending deterioration of the weather before setting out and while underway. Following are a few basic weatherrelated rules:

• Check the weather forecast and the water conditions before leaving and while underway.

• A sudden change in wind direction or speed or an increase in wave height indicates deteriorating weather.

• Have everyone wear a personal flotation device.

• If a storm approaches, immediately seek a safe harbor.

• If a storm hits, have everyone sit in the cabin or on the cockpit deck in the boat head the bow into the wind with enough power to maintain slow headway.

• If you encounter fog, determine your position, set a safe course, slow down and alert other boats of your presence with a sound signal.

• If a lightning storm approaches, the safest action is to dock and disembark. If you cannot return

40 Sundancer ® (425 Sundancer ® ) to shore, have passengers go inside the cabin and remain there until the storm passes.

• Lightning seeks a ground when it strikes. The best protection is a properly grounded lightning rod placed high enough over the deck to provide a protective umbrella over the hull. Depending upon the likelihood of your being in a lightning storm, consult your dealer for installation of a lightning rod. Stay clear of the lightning rod, all attached wiring and all metal parts of the boat.

• Stay out of the water during a lightning storm. If caught swimming during a storm, get back into the boat and remain there until the storm passes.

Have fire extinguishers handy. A small fire can be extinguished quickly with the right size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Extinguish smoking materials, shut off blowers, stoves, engines and generators.

• Throw burning materials overboard, if possible.

• If the fire is accessible, empty the contents of fire extinguishers at the base of the fire.

• If the fire is in the engine compartment and you have an automatic extinguisher for the engine, wait 15 minutes before opening the compartment. Have a portable extinguisher ready in case the fire flares up.

• Signal for help.

• Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on

PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship.

APSIZING

In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing:

• Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers, before leaving the boat.

• Have everyone put on Personal Flotation

Devices (PFD’s).

• Account for all who were on board.

• If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang on, or climb on the boat and signal for help.

• Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim to shore - it is further away than it looks and you can tire and drown.

E. C

OLLISIONS AND

L

EAKING

In the event of collision and leaking:

• Slow down or stop to reduce water intake, unless maintaining speed will keep the hole above water.

• Switch on bilge pumps.

• Account for everyone on board and check for injuries.

• Have everyone put on PFDs.

• Stay with the boat.

• Signal for help.

• If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done from the outside.

• In the event of a collision, you are required to file an accident report. Contact a state enforcement agency or the nearest Coast Guard office. If you are boating outside of U.S. waters, consult the nation you are visiting for accident reporting requirements.

ROUNDING

In the event of running aground:

• Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake of water before attempting to get the boat free.

• Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and steering systems.

• Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the boat harder aground or will help to free it.

• Determine the water depth all around the boat, and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.).

If it can be done without exposing persons to risk of injury, the boat should be moved away from hard obstructions and toward open water with soft ground.

• Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than a trained and competent service, such as the Coast Guard or a salvage company.

Recreational craft are not designed to tow other recreational craft.

If the drive train fails, or controls or steering do not respond properly at all:

• Shut off engine.

• Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.

• Determine whether or not you can repair the problem yourself. See the proper manuals for assistance in troubleshooting the engine, steering and engine controls.

• If you are not sure you can fix the problem, or if conditions are adverse, signal for help.

PILLAGE

Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the water surface. A common violation is bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore. If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard. Help protect your waters.

Fill tank(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.

The Coast Guard is requiring any oceangoing boats 40 feet or larger to have a written “waste management” plan on board. While the requirement is aimed at commercial and passenger ships, there is no exception for recreational boats. “Oceangoing” means any boat going beyond the three-mile coastal U.S.

boundary. The written plan can be as simple as:

All vessel refuse is placed in trash bags which are stored on board until they can be disposed of in dumpsters on shore. This policy is reviewed by all crew and passengers. The person in charge of carrying out the plan is:

(F

IG

. 2.1.1)

When lifting the boat always keep the bow higher than the stern to drain the exhaust lines and to prevent water from running forward through the manifold and into the engine where it can become trapped. It may seem expedient to lift only the stern when changing a propeller, but this can result in water entering the engine cylinders, causing hydrostatic lock and resulting in possible engine failure. Even a small amount of water in the engine can cause rust and is to be avoided.

With fiberglass boats, severe gelcoat crazing or more serious hull damage can occur during launching and hauling if pressure is created on the gunwales by the slings. Flat, wide belting-type slings and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from the gunwales are necessary. Cable-type slings should be avoided. Do not place the slings where they may lift on the propeller shaft or other underwater fittings. The slings should be placed directly over the sling tags imprinted on the deck to assure the least amount of stress on the hull.

Never hoist the boat with an appreciable amount of water in the bilge. Fuel and water tanks should preferably be empty, especially if of large capacity.

ROPELLERS

Your Sea Ray ® has been equipped with propellers which our tests have shown to be the best suited for general use under normal conditions and load.

Under no circumstances use a propeller which allows the engine to operate at higher than maximum RPM for your engine.

Standard on the 40 DA are dual hydraulic gear shift and throttle engine controls. Read and understand the information in the Owner’s Manual Packet for your yacht model’s gear and throttle control.

For safety’s sake and as a good habit to get into, always put the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position and the throttle selector in the IDLE position before starting the engines.

There are two gear shift levers and two throttle control levers.

The gear shift levers have three positions:

FORWARD, NEUTRAL (center), and REVERSE.

The gear shift levers must be in the NEUTRAL position when starting the engines. A detent can be felt when the control is in exact neutral. Forward and reverse positions should always be in the full travel extremes in either direction for positive

engagement and minimum wear. Each gear shift lever can be used independently from the other, for example, when idling one shift can be put in forward

! WARNING

Shift selector(s) to NEUTRAL before starting engines.

Shift only when engine is at IDLE.

Reversing at high speeds can cause flooding/ swamping due to water being pushed over the transom.

! CAUTION

Shift quickly; easing into gear can damage the transmission.

Hydraulic controls FORWARD and REVERSE positions should always be in full travel extremes in either direction for positive engagement and minimum wear.

and the other in reverse for tight maneuvering. Shift gears only with engines idling.

The throttle controls regulate the RPM of the engines. Pushing the levers forward will increase engine RPM. Regulating RPM of the engines will control the speed of the boat through the water.

NOTE: Prior to starting engines, put throttles at IDLE and gearshifts in NEUTRAL.

To trim the bow of your boat down, push the top halves of BOTH rockers down in momentary bursts.

If you hold the rockers down, you will over trim the boat and the bow will dig in. To correct over-trimming, push bottom halves of BOTH rockers to obtain desired planing angle.

The trim tabs on the transom of your boat can also be used to trim the list of your boat (See chart above) that may be caused by improper storage of gear, too many people on one side or a strong cross wind. Operation of the rocker switch should be momentary bursts to achieve proper attitude of the hull.

The trim tab pump is located on the aft bilge bulkhead, mounted on the inside of the transom and can be accessed through a hatch in the aft wall of the master stateroom head. To service the unit, remove the tinted plastic cover to gain access to reservoir fill plug and motor parts. Hydraulic trim tabs use Type A Dexron II automatic transmission fluid, which should be filled up to the FULL mark on the pump base. Add fluid with the trim tabs in the up position only.

Your boat is designed to plane at a particular speed and weight distribution. As speed decreases or weight increases, the stern will settle lower in the water and the hull will create and push a hill of water, increasing drag and requiring more power to move through the water.

Hydraulic trim tabs are adjusted independently of each other, enabling adjustment of bow attitude up and down as well as to correct for side to side list.

Trim tabs can also be used to provide attitude adjustment at lower speeds.

Use short bursts of rocker switches to adjust trim tabs.

Pushing switches too far at once may cause sudden steering problems. Adjusting one trim tab more than the other will adjust list caused by improper equipment storage, too many people on one side or a strong cross wind.

The oil gauge is often the best indicator of engine problems or difficulties. Maximum pressure is controlled by a preset valve in the oil pump. Note the reading which this gauge records after the break-in-period, as it is the “norm” which can be used as reference during the life of the engine. IF A COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL

PRESSURE OCCURS, TURN ENGINE OFF AT

ONCE. Continued running after loss of pressure will cause engine damage. First, manually check the oil level. If low oil level is not the cause, consult your Sea Ray ® dealer. DO NOT RESTART THE

ENGINE UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN

CORRECTED.

Slight fluctuations in gauge readings are not uncommon during operation and may be due to the characteristics of the lubricating oil. Greater fluctuations should be investigated. The cause may be a clogged oil filter element which should be replaced with every oil change.

OURMETER

The hourmeters measure cumulative hours of operating time on the engines and generator. They should be used to keep a careful log of engine maintenance as well as performance data and fuel consumption. Do not leave ignition key on with the engines off, as this will increase the engine hours on the hourmeter. Engine hourmeters are incorporated into the SmartCraft TM System View digital display monitor on the gauge panel at the helm. Refer to the SmartCraft TM owner’s manual for proper operation.

Generator: The generator hourmeter is located on the generator.

OMPASS

Your compass, properly corrected, will indicate magnetic North (not true North). A compass must be adjusted by a qualified person. The reason for this is that nearby instruments or objects containing magnets or current-carrying electrical wires will influence the compass reading. This is especially true if you add electronic devices to the helm station.

After your compass has been professionally adjusted. You will be given a deviation card or chart indicating the correction to be applied when laying out a compass course or making navigational calculations. Keep this correction card or chart at the helm.

NOTE: The compass adjustment is only good for the equipment arrangement that existed at the time of the adjustment. If you place different equipment or remove equipment from the vicinity of the compass, you cannot rely on the compass reading.

The compass must be readjusted by a qualified person after equipment is added or removed from the vicinity of the compass.

NOTE: The compass roses shown on navigational charts have both true North and magnetic North directions superimposed. Make certain you plot course compass directions from the magnetic North compass rose.

When not in use, the compass should be protected from excessive and prolonged sunlight. If your compass becomes sluggish or erratic, it should be serviced by an authorized repair station.

To keep the plexiglass dome free from scratches, remove salt deposits and dust with a damp cloth.

An occasional treatment with paste wax will help preserve the dome surface.

The Systems Monitor consists of a Display Control

Module (DCM) located at the control station and a

Bilge Interface Module (BIM) located on the bilge component board. The DCM and BIM are connected to each other by a coax cable and the BIM is continuously looking at all inputs for an alarm condition.

The Systems Monitor is connected directly to the

12 volt battery bank through a circuit breaker and continuously monitors two emergency high water pumps, and two bilge pumps detector. The engine and generator functions are only active when ignition voltage is turned on. The circuit breaker is on the main DC breaker panel located on the bilge component board.

The BIM collects signals from critical engine functions, generator oil pressure, bilge pumps and high water emergency bilge pumps and transmits that information to be displayed on the DCM.

The features of the DCM include a two line LCD display with backlighting of the display, audible alarm and an Audible Reset/Alarm Select push button switch.

The Alarm Select is active only during multiple alarms. For example, if the engine oil pressure, forward emergency pump and transmission temperature had faults at the same time, the systems monitor would sound an audible alarm and would display the alarm with the highest priority.

Each push of the switch will show the new alarm and then the LCD will automatically scroll through the multiple alarm functions approximately every three (3) seconds. By pushing on the switch, the operator will be able to manually scroll the LCD for faulting functions.

To monitor critical engine functions and generator oil pressure:

1. The 12 volt main battery solenoid switches must be energized either at the main DC breaker panel on the aft port engine room component board or the DC distribution panel on the port side just aft of the galley.

2. At the DC distribution panel, turn the port and starboard master ignition key switches to the

ON position.

3. At the control station, locate the port and starboard START/RUN switches. Without starting the engines, push the START/RUN switches to the RUN position. The Display

Control Monitor (DCM) will display:

SEA RAY BOATS

ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL

NOTE: The generator and engines will have an alarm as soon as ignition is turned on.

4. Start the engines per the engine start instructions in Section 3, page 3.4.

5. Start the generator per the generator start instructions in Section 3, page 3.7.

With the main engines and generator engine running, the yacht’s Systems Monitor is fully activated. When the engine and generator engine ignition is turned

OFF, approximately five (5) minutes later the LCD will go into a “Sleep Mode” and the display will be blank. Engine and generator functions are disabled because they are unnecessary, however, all pumps are still being monitored.

The DCM Function Table shows each function, describes the function and shows how it is displayed on the DCM.

If your Systems Monitor does not operate or display functions correctly per the instructions provided, recycle the circuit breaker by pushing the circuit breaker to the OFF position and then pushing it to the ON position. Use a small tool that will fit through the hole to push the breaker to the OFF position.

Standard on the 40 DA are dual hydraulic gear shift and throttle engine controls. However, your yacht may be equipped with hydraulic or electric throttle controls. There are different functions and operating and maintenance instructions which must be followed. Read and understand the information in the Owner’s Manual Packet for your sport yacht model’s gear and throttle control.

Your yacht has start in-gear protection. For safety’s sake and as a good habit to get into, always put the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position and the throttle selector in the IDLE position before starting the engines.

! CAUTION

Shift quickly; easing into gear can damage the transmission.

Hydraulic controls FORWARD and REVERSE positions should always be in full travel extremes in either direction for positive engagement and minimum wear.

! CAUTION

Cockpit can fill with water if boat is moving forward, when it is put into reverse.

Before shifting into reverse, shift to neutral, wait for the boat to stop moving forward, then shift into reverse.

The throttle controls (twin lever controls on starboard side of control station) (See Figure 2.7.2) regulate the RPM of the engines. Periodically check and seasonally lubricate the linkage with medium weight oil.

NOTE: Prior to starting engines, put throttles at IDLE and gearshifts in NEUTRAL.

The gear shift lever for each engine (twin lever controls on port side of the control station) has three positions: FORWARD, NEUTRAL and REVERSE.

The control lever must be in the NEUTRAL (center) position when starting the engine(s). A positioning indent can be felt when the control is in exact

NEUTRAL. FORWARD and REVERSE positions should always be in full travel extremes in either direction for a positive engagement and minimum wear.

WARNING

Disconnect the power cable from power source before performing maintenance.

The metallic parts of your cable set and inlet are made to resist corrosion. In salt water environment, life of the product can be increased by periodically wiping the exposed parts with fresh water, drying and spraying with a moisture repellent.

A soiled cable can be cleaned with grease-cutting household detergent. A periodic application of vinyl protector will help both ends and cable maintain their original appearance.

In case of salt water spray or immersion: Rinse plug end and/or connector end thoroughly in fresh water, shake or blow out excess water and allow to dry.

Spray with a moisture repellent before reuse.

TEERING

S

YSTEM

The hydraulic steering system is used primarily on boats with inboard engines such as the 40 DA. Strict adherence to the following guidelines must be followed to ensure safe recreational boating.

Periodically remove the plug in the helm unit and check the oil level visually. The oil level should be within 1/2"

(1-1/4 cm) of the filler hole.

The system must be filled with hydraulic oil

meeting Mil Spec H-5606 A. Refer to steering system owner’s information in the owner’s packet for specific hydraulic oils that can be used.

Periodically check the mechanical connections and linkages at the cylinder. Replace worn parts, tighten loose parts and lubricate as needed. The steering system is protected against over-pressure situations by a pressure relief valve. Sometimes when returning the wheel from a hard-over position, a slight resistance may be felt and a clicking noise may be heard. This is a completely normal situation caused by the releasing of the lockspool in the system.

To anchor, bring the bow into the wind or current and put the engine in neutral. When the vessel comes to a stop, lower the anchor from the bow. The anchor line should be 5 to 7 times the depth of the water.

A. A

NCHORING

A

RRANGEMENT

The 40 DA is equipped with a windlass and an anchor chute. Stow the anchor in the chute when not in use.

NOTE: Before using the anchor, be sure the anchor safety hook is removed from the anchor, the chain stop is released from the chain and the anchor is secured to the windlass chain.

!

WARNING

SINKING HAZARD – Anchor from the bow if using one anchor. A small current can make a sternanchored boat unsteady; a heavy current can drag a stern-anchored craft under water.

COLLISION HAZARD – Anchor only in areas where your boat will not disrupt other boats. Do not anchor in a channel or tie up to any navigational aid. It is dangerous and illegal.

NOTICE

Use the safety hook supplied to ensure that the anchor is held in place should the windlass fail. Do not use the safety hook to support the anchor in a stored position. The windlass should always support the anchor and ensure that it is held in the roller device securely.

NCHORING

Proper anchoring requires knowledge of RODE and

SCOPE. Read this section carefully, understanding the relationship between rode, scope and anchor performance.

The rode is the line connecting the anchor to the boat. The scope is technically defined as the ratio of the rode length to the vertical distance from the bow to the sea floor.

Since you want to know how much rode to use when anchoring, the formula is:

Scope =

Rode Length

Bow Height + Water Depth

Rode Length = (Bow Height + Water Depth) x Scope

• Scope depends on the type of anchor, bottom, tide, wind and sea conditions.

• Minimum is 5:1 for calm conditions; norm is 7:1; severe conditions may require 10:1.

Example:

OWERING

A

NCHOR

• Be sure there is adequate rode.

• Secure rode to both the anchor and the boat.

• Stop completely before lowering anchor.

• If using windlass, refer to windlass operator’s manual.

• Keep feet clear of coiled line.

• Turn on anchor light when at anchor or drifting

(not under power).

D. S

ETTING

A

NCHOR

• There is no best way to set an anchor.

Experiment to see how your anchor performs.

• One method is to turn the rode around a bit and slowly pay out as the boat backs from the anchor site. When the proper scope has been reached, snub the rode quickly, causing the anchor to dig into the bottom.

• Reverse engine slowly to drive the anchor in and prevent it from dragging.

• Close chain stop (Optional) (see Fig. 3.15.2).

E. W

EIGHING

A

NCHOR

• Run the boat slowly up to the anchor, taking in the rode as you go.

• The anchor will usually break out when the rode becomes vertical.

• Be careful that trailing lines do not foul in the propeller.

NOTE: Use the fresh water washdown spigot in the starboard bow locker to hose down the chain in the locker after haul-in .

F. C

LEARING A

F

OULED

A

NCHOR

A fouled anchor can test your patience and ingenuity.

One of the best methods of breaking free is to set a

tripline (see Fig. 3.13.2) before you lower anchor.

• Attach a line to the crown or head of the anchor and the other end to a float.

• The line should be just long enough to reach the surface of the water, allowing for tides.

• A polypropylene line is a good choice because it is light, strong and floats.

• If the anchor snags, pull vertically on the tripline to lift the anchor by the crown.

Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the water surface. A common violation is bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore.

If there is excessive amount of fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard.

As a precaution against fuel spillage, fill fuel tank(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.

The 40 DA is equipped with four (4) bilge pumps, including two (2) emergency high water bilge pumps.

Your yacht is also equipped with a gray water sump, with pump and float switch.

The two primary bilge pumps are equipped with switches on the control station switch panel. These switches have MANUAL and AUTO positions. When the switch is in the MANUAL position, the pump will run continuously. When the switch is in the AUTO position, the pump is activated when there is enough water in the bilge to raise the float switch to its highest position; and deactivated when the water recedes. The pumps should NOT be left in the

MANUAL mode unless the bilge is being pumped out for servicing.

The emergency bilge pumps and high water float switches are wired to the systems monitor located on the dash at the control station (see “SYSTEMS

MONITOR” in Section 2 - page 2.19).

Whenever a bilge pump turns ON, either manually or automatically, the systems monitor will display which pump is active. Should the high water alarms become activated, immediate attention to the area indicated on the systems monitor panel is required.

The reverse gear incorporates the clutch and controls the rotation of the propeller. The position of the clutch control or shifting lever indicates the motion which the clutch and reverse gear are transmitting. The center position of the lever indicates neutral. Engine RPM should never exceed 1000 when engaging or disengaging the clutch. Higher RPM will result in unnecessary wear and shortened life of the unit, and perhaps breakage.

Marine reverse gears are hydraulically operated, thereby making it imperative to periodically maintain and check oil level. If the correct oil level is not maintained, slippage occurs, causing damage to the clutch plates. Too much oil will cause foaming and erratic clutch operation.

Shut off the fuel lines and close the engine seacocks. Remove all electrical wires, fuel lines and raw water intake hoses from the engine. Unbolt the engine coupling from the shaft coupling and slide the shaft and coupling back from the engine. Detach both throttle and shift connections. Cap off hoses to avoid hydraulic fluid loss. Do not bend or twist

the hoses, as damage may result. Remove the mounting bolts for the engine and lift the engine out, leaving the mounts bolted to the stringer caps.

HARACTERISTICS

Propellers have two basic characteristics:

• Diameter

• Pitch

Diameter is that distance measured across the propeller hub line from the outer edge of the 360° that is made by the propeller’s blade during a single rotation. Pitch is that distance in inches that a propeller will travel if rotated one revolution without any slippage.

For example, a propeller with a 12-inch pitch, when rotated 360° would, theoretically, advance 12 inches through the water. Actually, no propeller applied to any boat is 100% efficient. No 12-inch pitch blade will, in a single rotation, advance a boat

12 inches. This variance is referred to as slippage.

water flowing over the curved surface of the blade encounters areas of greater and less pressure.

In those areas of reduced pressure, air bubbles are formed. When they move out of the low pressure area these bubbles collapse. If they collapse while in contact with an object, such as part of the propeller blade or trim plane, the bubbles create such highly localized forces that they erode the surface of the object. In the case of the propeller, such damage is sometimes called a “burn.” It may be caused by an irregularity in the propeller’s leading edge, and it should be corrected by reconditioning the propeller or by replacement.

Cavitation is a normal occurrence in modern sport boats, and prop inspection should be part of routine maintenance.

V

ENTILATION

, I

TS

C

AUSES AND

C

ORRECTIONS

While often called “cavitation,” ventilation is really a different effect. At times when a boat enters or leaves a sharp turn, the propeller seems to slip and lose thrust and the engine may over-speed (Figure

4.8.1). This problem is normally caused by air or aerated water entering the propeller. (A damaged propeller can also cause ventilation.) Ventilation can usually be corrected by replacing the damaged or incorrect propeller with the recommended one.

T

ORQUE AND

I

TS

C

ORRECTION

Some of the more powerful motors create a considerable torque effect; that is, a twisting motion causing the boat to ride with one sheer lower than the other. This twisting reaction is caused by the direction of propeller rotation lifting one side of the boat. This causes an uneven drag, so that a boat’s bow may tend to fall off in one direction or the other from the intended course given by the wheel.

Torque action may occur when maximum or close to maximum rated horsepower is applied. Any slight torque may be offset by shifting passenger or gear weight laterally to the high side of the boat.

NSTALLATION

For proper rotation, the installation of propellers on inboard engine boats requires the right hand propeller to be installed on the starboard side and the left hand propeller to be installed on the port side. Install in the following manner:

1.

Inspect the key. It must be chamfered so that the corners of the key do not touch the keyway fillets.

2. Install the propeller on the shaft without the key in the keyway. Slide the propeller all the way on the shaft until it seats. Mark the shaft on the leading edge of the hub with a felt tip marker and remove the propeller.

3. Install the key in the keyway and slide the propeller on the shaft. If the key is not pinned, tap the key back slightly as the propeller slides up the taper. This will ensure that the propeller does not ride the key up the keyway end radius, thus forcing the propeller off-center. The propeller is properly seated if the hub is in the same position as previously marked.

4. Install a board (2 x 4) against the hub perpendicular to the keel and rotate the propeller clockwise until one blade rotates against the board. Do not put a board between the strut and the rudder.

5. Install the large bronze prop nut on the propeller shaft and seat the propeller with the correct torque as listed on the table below.

6. Install the jam nut and torque to 100 ft. lbs.

7. Install the cotter pin.

HAFTS

The shaft coupling is the connecting point between the shaft and the engine. The alignment should be set at a maximum of .005" (0.13mm).

A slight misalignment will cause loss of power, excessive wear, noise and vibration and should not be tolerated. When checking for parallel coupling faces (the proof of proper alignment), use a feeler gauge not more than .003 to .005 of an inch thick (0.08 – 0.13mm).

The shaft log is a fiberglass tube which provides an opening through the bottom of the boat for the propeller shaft. The Strong Seal ™ is connected to it by a short length of special flexible hose which serves to absorb normal shaft vibration. The Strong Seal ™ prevents water from leaking around the shaft and into the boat. Shaft alignment and straightness must be correct to assure proper operation of the Strong Seal ™ .

1. Clean any accumulated dirt and scale from the exposed shaft. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO

SHARP EDGES OR BURRS ON THE

SHAFT.

2. Separate the two halves of the Carrier Seal Kit housing by removing the screws. If there are two lip seals in the carrier kit, move the forward most one forward on the shaft until out of the way.

3. Remove the retaining ring from the Strong

Seal™ using a small screwdriver (for a spiral ring) or snap-ring pliers (for a snap ring). Work the retaining ring around the new lip seal and move the ring forward out of the way.

4. Reassemble the empty Carrier Seal Kit housing onto the shaft just forward of the new lip seal with the small diameter facing aft. Leave the screws loose enough that the housing can move along the shaft. The

Carrier Seal Kit housing is now ready to be used as a lip seal installation tool.

5. Push needle-nose pliers or a hook into the exposed body of the lip seal and pull it out of the Strong Seal ™ housing. Cut the old seal off the shaft with wire cutters. BE CAREFUL NOT

TO SCRATCH THE SHAFT.

6. Inspect and clean the inside of the Strong

Seal™ housing and the newly exposed area of the shaft that was under the old lip seal.

7. Push the new lip seal and installation tool aft until the lip seal contacts the Strong Seal™ housing. Using a rubber mallet, tap the face of the installation tool until the lip seal is seated within the Strong Seal™ housing. You will know the lip seal is fully seated when the retaining ring groove is exposed.

8. Remove the Carrier Seal Kit housing from the shaft. Reinstall the retaining ring into its groove in the Strong Seal™ housing.

9. If the Carrier Seal Kit came with two lip seals, position the remaining lip seal back onto a convenient location on the shaft at least 2" forward of the Strong Seal™. Reassembly the

Carrier Seal Kit housing around the lip seal with the smaller diameter facing forward. Tighten the screws and make sure the assembly is firmly secured on the shaft.

NOTE: As the Carrier Seal Kit is turning with the shaft and the Strong Seal™ is not, it is important that the two do not touch.

TRUT

The strut is the bronze casting fastened to the bottom of the hull to support and form a bearing for the propeller shaft. A replaceable rubber bearing is inserted to minimize wear and protect the shaft where it passes through the strut hub. During lay up periods, squirt castor oil into this bearing to keep it from freezing to the shaft. Never use machine

oil or grease on rubber bearing. Periodically check all strut fastenings to assure that they are secure.

The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination.

Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of water condensation and reduce the possibility of contamination.

NOTE: In rough seas, allow approximately 15% reserve when planning fuel consumption.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, the valve can be opened and closed manually by turning the manual override knob.

The electric fuel valve is installed in-line on the fuel hose between the fuel tank and engines & generator.

The 12 volt direct current (DC) electrical system derives its power from the batteries, which are kept charged by an engine-driven alternator and/or AC converter. The battery voltage is indicated by the voltmeter on the main distribution panel and control station instrument panel. Each battery bank can be checked with the battery voltage test switch on the

DC distribution panel or the voltmeters at the helm, when the ignition is on. The batteries supply power to the main DC breaker panel in the bilge. In turn, this panel distributes power to the electronic fuse block and the control station breaker panel at the helm and to the DC distribution panel in the salon.

The 12 volt helm station and cockpit systems are protected by the ELECTRONICS and CONTROL

It is the owner’s responsibility to check for and replace damaged parts due to galvanic deterioration. Refer to your Sea Ray ® dealer to investigate the source of stray corrosive currents.

The GFI receptacle is designed to protect people from the line-to-ground shock hazards which could occur from defective power tools or appliances operating from this device, or from down-line outlets protected by it. It does not prevent line-to-ground electric shock, but does limit the time of exposure to a period considered safe for normally healthy persons.

It does not protect persons against line-to-line or line-to-neutral faults.

The GFI receptacle does not protect against short circuits or overloads. This is the function of the circuit breaker.

!

CAUTION

Never disconnect the green wire (safety ground) from the engine terminal.

Zinc anodes generally require replacement about once a year. (In salt water areas, replace

every six (6) months). The need to replace anodes more frequently may indicate a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or mooring. If zinc anodes do not need replacing after one year, they may not be providing proper protection. Loose anodes or low-grade zinc may be the problem.

When an AC shore power system is connected to the boat, the underwater metal fittings will, in effect, be connected through the water to grounded metals ashore. The zincs will be consumed at a faster rate unless the marina maintains a protective system to prevent this. In this case, hanging a zinc in the water bonded to the metal outlet box on the dock will reduce zinc loss on the boat. DO NOT connect this zinc to the boat’s ground system.

Ray ® does not recommend that you attempt to work on the boat’s electrical system yourself.

Instead we recommend that you take your boat to your authorized Sea Ray ® dealer for service.

Sea Ray ® reserves the right to change or update the electrical system on any model at any time without notice to the consumer and is NOT obligated to make any updates to units built prior to changes.

!

CAUTION

Replace zinc anodes if they are corroded 50% or more.

It is extremely important that all electrically operated DC equipment and accessories be wired so that the ground polarity of each device is the same as that of the battery. Sea Ray ® boats have a negative ground system, which is the recommended practice throughout the marine industry. All metal items (fuel tanks, underwater gear, etc.) in the boat are connected to the zinc anode by the green bonding wire.

Electrolytic corrosion can also be caused by “stray currents” due to a fault in an electrical item, even though correctly grounded.

The 40 DA air conditioning/heating system consists of two (2) standard air conditioning/heating units, a raw water pump with seacock and strainer and a relay unit so the water pump will be activated by demand when any AC unit comes on.

Care should be taken so as not to stow items around the air handlers that may block the return air grill or damage the freon lines running to the compressor.

The air filters for each unit should be removed and cleaned periodically to assure fresh, clean air circulation and to reduce stress on the unit.

The master stateroom unit is a 7,000 BTU unit located under the bunk. The controls for the unit are

The system is cooled to maintain optimal operating temperature by the raw water pump located in the bilge. The pump draws water through a seacock and filters it through a sea water strainer. The water passes through each compressor cooling the condensing coils, then flows overboard through the thru-hull vents. (The sea water strainer should be inspected frequently and cleaned out when plugged.

To clean strainer, refer to Section 4- Bilge &

Underwater Gear, pg. 4.11, Seacocks & Strainers).

The condensation drains for the compressor units connect to the cabin sump.

The water tanks are filled through a fill plate located on the port deck walkway. Fill the tanks only from a source known to provide safe, pure drinking water.

To fill your water tanks you should use a plastic hose. Do not use a rubber hose; it can give the water a disagreeable flavor. The hose should be kept for filling use only. After using the hose it should be emptied. Start at one end and raise the hose to shoulder level and walk to the opposite end of the hose, allowing the remaining water to flow out. You should store your water tank filling hose in a clean dry place. It is also a good practice to cover the ends of the hose to keep the inside clean.

1. Fill the water tank with potable water.

2. Switch the water pump breakers to the ON position.

3. One at a time, open all hot and cold faucets to bleed air from the water lines.

4. Once air has been eliminated from water lines, close faucets.

5. Shutting off the last faucet should cause the pump to shut off.

Although your dealer initially sanitizes the water system, if the system has not been used for a long period of time, or you suspect it may be contaminated, use a water treatment additive to sanitize the potable water system. Water treatment additives are available at marine/RV supply stores.

If water treatment additives are not available, adhere to the following procedure for complete sanitation of your potable water system.

1. Prepare a chlorine solution using one (1) gallon of water and one (1) cup Clorox or Purex household bleach (5% Hypochlorite solution).

With tank empty, pour chlorine solution into tank, using one (1) gallon solution for each sixty

(60) gallons of tank capacity.

2. Complete filling of tank with fresh water. Open each faucet until air has been released and the entire system is filled.

3. Allow to stand for three (3) hours.

4. Drain and flush with potable fresh water.

5. To remove excessive chlorine taste or odor which might remain, prepare a solution of four

(4) quarts of vinegar to twenty (20) gallons of water and allow this solution to agitate in the tank for several days by vehicle motion.

6. Drain tank and again flush with potable water.

7. Replace water filter.

Water system pressure is regulated by a pneumatic accumulator bottle (See figure 7.4.1) located in-line on the cold water outlet from the pump.

The accumulator tank smooths water flow and reduces on/off cycling of the pumps by lessening the variation in pressure and flow between the pump and the outlets in the system.

• Do not fold or store any of the canvas set pieces while wet. All canvas should be rolled or folded when dry and stored in a clean, dry place.

• For clear vinyl pieces, rolling or laying down flat are the recommended methods for storage. The clear vinyl should never be folded or creased as cracking will result. To protect the clear vinyl from rubbing against itself while rolled or stored flat, place a piece of very soft, nonabrasive cloth between the pieces, or rolled up in it. If the surface of your clear vinyl becomes scratched, the canvas manufacturer has provided a canvas care sheet in your Owner’s Manual Packet.

:

• The zippers attached on the hardtop and cockpit overhead are mounted on a zipper track. Once installed, do not remove these zippers or zipper tracks.

• When attaching any of the pieces of the canvas set, attach the top edges first and zip the zippers only partially. This helps to hold the piece in place and relieves tension, helping the other sides to zip or snap easier. After all of the sides of the piece are secure, finish zipping the top of each piece. This will ensure a tight fit.

Routine inspection, service and maintenance of your boat’s systems are vital to assure your safety, as well as for prolonging the life of your boat. You should develop regular routines for inspecting your boat. The chart below summarizes inspection, service and maintenance activities. This section also contains descriptions of some convenient methods for evaluating the condition of some of your boat’s systems.

The interval between necessary service or maintenance is highly variable, depending on the environment your boat is in, and on the severity of operating conditions. For example, corrosion of parts on boats operated in salt water proceeds much faster than the corrosion of parts on a boat operated in fresh water. The intervals listed below are recommended maximums, and you must reduce the time between inspections if your observations indicate the need.

REA

Many of your boat’s systems have critical features located in the bilge area. A thorough and organized inspection of the bilge area will address many of these critical features. For example, engine oil leaks and fuel system leaks will show themselves as contamination on the surface of the liquid that remains in the bilge. When you see such contamination, you should look for its source.

Once or twice a year, pump the bilge areas dry and remove all loose dirt. Be sure that all the limber holes are open. Limber holes are the openings in the stringers that allow water to flow from the outboard areas of the bilge to the bilge sump.

Check the bilge pump float switch by moving it manually. (Figures 4.1.1 thru 4.1.3) The bilge pump should start when the float switch is raised and should stop when lowered. If it does not, first try resetting the bilge pump breakers, if the pump will still not run replace the float switch before using your boat. The float switch should also move freely without sticking, if it does not, have it serviced or replaced before boating.

!

WARNING

DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS to clean any part of the bilge.

Fumes can accumulate and can be the source of an explosion.

2. E

NGINE

Engine failure or malfunction, when away from shore, can be dangerous. Make certain you do the following each time you use the boat:

• Wipe off the engine to remove accumulated dust, grease and oil.

• Check all exposed nuts, bolts and screws for tightness.

• Inspect the belts for wear. If they do not require replacement, check and adjust the belt tension according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.

• Inspect engine wiring, and clean and tighten the terminals on the engine electrical system.

• Clean and lubricate the battery cables.

• Add distilled water to the battery cells as needed.

• Refer to your Engine Operator’s Manual for additional engine maintenance requirements.

3. F

UEL

S

YSTEM

• Inspect the entire fuel system for evidence of leakage, including the fuel tank fill lines and vents. Any stain around a joint could be an indication of a leak.

• Test all fittings with a wrench to be sure they are not loose, but do not forcefully overtighten the fittings.

• Clean fuel filters and vent screens.

1. O

IL

If there is oil contamination, look for leaks in engine oil lines and engine gaskets. If parts of the bilge have been stained by oil, the stain can be removed using a bilge cleaner available from your dealer or a marine store.

!

WARNING

Work on electrical wiring can create shock hazards or sparks.

Always shut off battery switch, breakers and/or pull fuses before checking electrical wiring or connectors.

Once a year, you should undertake a thorough review of the topside equipment, as well as of the critical safety supplies on your boat.

• Check cleats, rings, rails, etc. for loose or corroded fasteners, breaks, sharp edges or other conditions that could lead to malfunction or unsafe use. Repair or replace as necessary.

• Inspect PFDs (life jackets) for tears and deterioration.

• Make certain you have enough PFDs on board for the maximum number of persons you can carry.

RAINING THE

In climates where freezing occurs, it is important that the bilge be completely drained and dried out when the boat is laid up for the winter. Some compartments in the bilge may not drain completely because of the position of the boat. They should be pumped out and sponged until totally free of water or add sufficient amount of antifreeze to standing water to prevent freezing.

The boat’s entire fresh water system must be drained. Open all faucets, including the shower faucets, throughout the boat. Open a connection at the lowest point in the fresh water lines to completely drain them. Break the connections on each side of the water pump. Drain the heads. Drain the water heater. Break the lower connection if necessary.

The engine cooling system and the exhaust system must be free of water if there is danger of freezing.

Drain plugs are provided on the engine for this purpose. It is necessary to open a connection or two in the exhaust system to drain the lowest portions; these should be reassembled securely immediately after draining is accomplished.

WARNING

Care should be utilized in waxing commonly walked upon areas of the boat to ensure that they are not dangerously slippery.

NOTE: For colored gelcoats, it is important to follow waxing recommendations in order to maintain the luster of the gelcoat.

Do not use products containing chlorine, phosphates, perfumes and nondegradable ingredients. Consult your marine dealer regarding environmental regulations before painting the hull.

Colored hulls add a beautiful contrast to all white boats making them distinctive and attractive. Similar to paint on cars, colors need more care and protection (waxing).

Chemical lab tests have proven that colored gelcoats will show more chalking than white gelcoat due to an eventual degradation from weathering.

Chalking results from a breakdown of a gelcoated surface into an extremely fine powder. When this happens, the color of the part whitens. The chalk is strictly on the surface. Most house paints are designed to chalk and then wash off clean with water. Gelcoat chalk, however does not wash off.

If permanently moored or docked in salt water or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its bottom. This will detract from the boat’s beauty and greatly affect its performance. There are two methods of preventing this:

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

• Paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of antifouling paint. DO NOT paint the engine drive surfaces.

NOTE: There are EPA regulations regarding bottom paint application. Consult your Sea

Although gelcoat and painted surfaces are resistant to deep stains, a need for cleaning will occasionally arise. But, the use of some common cleaning agents will permanently discolor or otherwise damage the finish on your boat.

• Do not use abrasive porcelain-cleaning powders. These are too abrasive and contain chlorine and ammonia, either of which will permanently discolor gelcoat and paint.

• Never use nail polish remover (acetone) or any ketone solvents.

• Use diluted household detergents to remove surface soil and stains. Before using a given brand, check to make sure it contains no chlorine or ammonia.

From time to time a slight algae or slime forms on all vessels. The bottom painted portion of the hull can be wiped off with a coarse Turkish towel or a piece of old rug while the boat is in the water. Do not use a stiff or abrasive material to clean the bottom paint.

The bottom paint should be inspected annually. If it needs repainting consult your Sea Ray ® dealer.

OMPARTMENT

1. Pump the bilges dry and remove all loose dirt.

Be sure that all limber holes are open. If there is oil in the bilge and the source is not known, look for leaks in engine oil lines or engine gaskets. Oil stains can be removed by using a bilge cleaner available from your dealer or a marina. DO NOT use flammable solvents.

2. Check all wiring to be sure it is properly supported, that its insulation is intact, and that there are no loose or corroded terminals. If there are corroded terminals, they should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned. Tighten all terminals securely and spray them with light marine preservative oil.

3. Inspect the entire fuel system (including fill lines and vents) for any evidence of leakage. Any stains around joints could indicate a leak. Try a wrench on all fittings to be sure they are not loose, but do not over tighten them. Clean fuel filters and vent screens.

4. Inspect the entire bottom for evidence of seepage, damage or deterioration, paying particular attention to hull fittings, hoses and clamps. Straighten kinked hoses and replace any that do not feel pliable. Tighten loose hose clamps and replace those that are corroded.

Tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws.

5. Refer to your engine operator’s manual for engine maintenance details. Wipe off engine to remove accumulated dust and grease. If a solvent is used, make sure it is nonflammable.

Go over the entire engine and tighten nuts, bolts, and screws. Inspect the wiring on the engine and clean and tighten the terminals.

Inspect the belts and tighten them if needed.

Clean and lubricate the battery terminals; fill the battery cells with distilled water as needed.

Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic.

To clean acrylic, first flood it with water to wash off as much dirt as possible. Next, use your bare hand, with plenty of water, to feel and dislodge any caked dirt or mud. A soft, grit-free cloth may then be used with a nonabrasive soap or detergent. A soft sponge, kept clean for this purpose, is excellent. Blot dry with a clean damp chamois.

Grease and oil may be removed from acrylic with kerosene, hexane, white (not aviation or ethyl) gasoline or aliphatic naphtha (no aromatic content).

Do not use solvents such as acetone, silicone spray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid or lacquer thinner on acrylic, since they attack the surface.

Remove fine scratches with fine automotive acrylic rubbing and polishing compounds.

and clean with a mild solution of a natural soap in lukewarm water (no more than 100°F, 38°C); rinse thoroughly to remove soap. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS. Allow to completely dry.

Wash and clean vinyl windows with a warm soap solution.

Use a soft cloth or sponge and do not scratch the surface.

If you have stubborn cleaning cases, call your dealer for proper procedures. Do not try your own cleaning procedures as they may permanently damage the canvas.

After each use, especially in salt water areas, rinse the canvas completely with fresh cold water. Then let the canvas dry completely before stowing.

All metal components of the canvas should be rinsed with fresh cold water and exposed components wiped dry to maintain appearance and working order.

Exterior fabrics should be cleaned with a sponge or very soft scrub brush and a mild soap and warm water solution.

After scrubbing, rinse with plenty of cold, clean water and allow the fabric to air dry in a well ventilated place, preferably away from direct sunlight.

Do not fold or store any of the canvas pieces while

wet. All canvas should be rolled or folded when dry and stored in a clean, dry place. For clear vinyl pieces, the recommended methods for storage are rolling or laying down flat. The clear vinyl should never be folded or creased as cracking will result. To protect the clear vinyl from rubbing against itself while rolled or stored flat, place a piece of very soft, nonabrasive cloth between the pieces. If the surface of the clear vinyl becomes scratched, the canvas manufacturer has provided a canvas care sheet located in your Owner’s Manual Packet.

When storing the rear (aft) curtain, fold the canvas over the clear vinyl window (do not fold clear vinyl), then roll or store flat.

The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the installation.
