Weight Limits
and Distribution
Adding too much weight to your Aviara boat is not recommended,
and can result in impaired visibility, diminished handling
characteristics and instability when operating your boat. Such
condition may result in potential structural and/or engine damage to
the boat. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
It is the boat operator’s responsibility to ensure that the boat is never
overloaded. Too much additional weight may cause the boat to
overturn or sink, which can result in serious bodily injury or death.
Overloading a boat may cause it to become unstable
and may potentially result in the boat’s flotation system
becoming overwhelmed. Too much weight can sink any
boat. Within this Owner’s Manual in the Model Features
and Specs Section, and on a label mounted in each boat
is the seating configuration for that specific model. Never
overload the boat. Proper distribution of weight is critical to
boat performance. This boat is Yacht Certified, meaning the
capacity limit is at the captain’s discretion. Captains should
operate mindfully when deciding the number of persons on
the boat at one time and should allocate the load as evenly
as possible. Equally critical is how weight is distributed
throughout the boat. The weight must be distributed evenly
throughout the boat. If too much weight is placed in one
area it can have serious impact on maintaining control.
Items and people can also shift positions during operation,
potentially causing a dangerous situation.
