COMMISSIONING
4.1
On Arrival
The boat should be inspected while still on the trailer. Make
sure all items listed on the bill of lading are on the trailer un-
damaged. Any damage or loss should be recorded on the Bill of
Lading in the presence of the truck driver and prior to signing
the document.
Before Launching
Read owner’s manual to familiarize yourself with your boat.
Check through inventory sheet and commissioning checklist.
Check that the engine and head(s) have been de-winterized, and
that all drain plugs are in place. Check all hose clamps and tighten
as necessary. The engine fresh water cooling system is filled with
permanent anti-freeze solution at the factory. Check for evaporation
and add more anti-freeze solution if required.
Mark propeller shaft with fixed prop vertical and folding prop
with blades opening horizontally. For best sailing speed, set shaft
to this position while sailing. Never leave engine out of gear and
allow the shaft to rotate while sailing. Transmission should be set
in reverse while sailing with engine off.
After Launching
Refer to commissioning checklist. Please note that all boats are
shipped with shaft couplings disconnected. Engine alignment and shaft
coupling hook-up must be performed prior to operating the vessel.
If water does not come out the exhaust thru hull on the transom
when the engine is initially started, check that the engine water
intake seacock is open and not blocked. Then check the water pump
impel lor. (Consult the Engine Owner's Manual)
