it in a safe place other than onboard the boat. Refer to the equipment operator’s
manuals supplied in your owner’s kit for location of serial numbers.

OWNER/OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

this manual.

Insurance
You must get insurance before operating your new boat. Insurance for loss
by fire, theft or other causes, or liability protection against accidents is a must
for responsible boaters. The boat owner is legally responsible for any damage or
injury caused when he, or someone else operating the boat, is involved in an
accident. Many states have laws detailing minimum insurance needs. Your insur-
ance agent or dealer may be able to supply you with more information.
