AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 100
Loading the Boat
Never overload the boat. Proper distribution of weight is
critical to boat performance. Aviara models are 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.
Failure to balance the boat properly may result in too much strain
on the drive train or may sink the boat. This is not covered under
warranty. See the Common Sense Advice information in the Safety
section of this Owner’s Manual regarding weight.
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.
Emergencies
Know how to use and spot distress signals, and to offer
assistance if possible. Remember, you may need assistance
someday. Review the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
Courtesy
Always respect the rights of others on the water. Keep wide
