• Check the ghtness of the tower bolts BEFORE each use. If a tower collapses it may result in injury to boat
occupants or towed persons.
• Not modify the tow bar. The tow pylon/bar is not designed for vercal extensions. Any modicaons to
the tow pylon/bar or its mounngs may result in damage to the boat and injury to the user.
• Only li the boat from approved li points, which are idened in later parts of the manual.
Your safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of other boaters is dependent on how you
operate and maintain your boat. As operator or owner of this boat, you are responsible for the safety of
those with and around you while boang.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the operator of the boat has been properly instructed in the
lawful and safe operaon of this vessel. Therefore, before operang the boat, thoroughly read this owner/
operator manual. Be sure you understand each item before operang it. Improper operaon or trailering of
the boat could lead to severe personal injury or death. Improper operaon or trailering of the boat may also
damage the boat.
The operator and the boat owner assume all risks for themselves, their guests and anyone in proximity to
their boat and ensure that all passengers understand the risks and responsibilies associated with boang.
This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of boat operaon. We strongly
recommend that all operators of this boat seek addional training on boat handling and safety. Have all
operators become familiar with the handling characteriscs, and proper steering and control system usage
before aempng high-speed operaon.
At the me of delivery, the owner/operator is responsible for:
• Understanding the warranty terms and condions of your boat, your engine, and your trailer.
• Obtaining insurance.
• Examining the boat to ensure the proper operaon of all systems.
Before operang the boat, the owner/operator is responsible for:
• Registering the boat as required in the jurisdicon where the boat is being operated.
• Providing the proper (USCG) safety equipment, and checking local, state and federal agencies as to laws
and regulaons (USCG carriage requirements).
• Carefully reading and understanding safety informaon and proper operang procedures within this
manual.
• Obtaining other boang educaon if you lack operaonal experience.
• Familiarizing yourself with the navigable waters where you intend to operate the boat.
• Following the proper break-in procedure for the engine.
Federal Law requires that all motorboats be registered and that all motorcra not documented by
the U.S. Coast Guard display registraon numbers. In nearly all states, this means registraon with the
designated state agency. In a few jurisdicons, the Coast Guard retains registraon authority. Your dealer
will either supply registraon forms or tell you where they may be obtained. The agency will supply you with
a cercate which must be carried with you when the boat is in operaon. Internaonal laws may vary as to
required registraon.
