• Check that everything is secure, tower
and mirror knobs are tightened, all latch-
es and brackets are secure, and anything
that might move around in the cockpit
during operation has been stowed. Even
soft objects can cause injury when un-
derway. Under normal operations, there
will be some vibration, and this may
loosen hardware over time.
• Check that all required Scheduled Main-
tenance Checks and Services (see fol-
lowing sections) were performed.
During Operation
• Check gauges frequently for operating
conditions.
• Pay attention that controls operate
smoothly.
• Note any excessive vibration.
After Operation
• Check for uid leaks.
• In boats equipped with a ballast system,
drain water from the ballast system be-
fore placing the boat on the trailer. If the
boat has ballast-pumping assistance to
remove water from the ballast system,
note that the engine must be running
at least 1500 RPM during the pump-
ing process (for both ll and empty op-
erations). This will necessitate draining
water prior to ceasing operation of the
boat and loading on the trailer. More in-
formation regarding ballast systems ap-
pears in various sections of this Owner’s
Manual, but pay particular attention to
the information under Boat Operations.
• Check the ns (where equipped), propel-
ler, rudder and shaft for damage after
removing the boat from the water.
