Owner’s Manual
© 2020 Manitou Pontoon Boats
Do not sit on the bow of the boat while it is under
power.
Keep all boat gates closed while the boat is under power in order to
prevent falls overboard and injuries.
Maintain your speed at or below the posted speed limit. Avoid
excessive speeds, especially close to shore.
Learn and follow the rules of navigation. Ensure that all boat drivers
are familiar with these rules.
Know the maximum horsepower capacity rating on the certification
plate of your motor and do not exceed it. Exceeding the horsepower
capacity of your boat and motor can lead to serious conditions that
may result in accidents or injuries.
Become familiar with the length of time it takes to stop your boat
from various speed levels. Remember that, unlike a car, a boat does
not have brakes.
Confirm that the engine is off and the propeller is completely
stopped before allowing anyone to enter the water or re-board from
the water.
Use a boat hook or other suitable device to protect your boat while
docking. Never use your hands or feet to control your boat’s
movement toward the dock. Your boat’s weight and forward
momentum could cause serious injury to a limb that becomes caught
between the boat and a dock.
Never exceed the maximum horsepower or weight
capacity of your boat.
