Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and
poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious
injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in
a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of
carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of
exposure to carbon monoxide can build up and be just as lethal
as high concentrations. Carbon Monoxide from exhaust pipes of
inboard or outboard engines may build up inside and outside the
boat in areas near exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed
operations. STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are
located at the stern of the boat when the boat engine is running.
Aft-facing seat backs at the transom or sun pad should always be
in the stowed position when the boat is underway. Anyone seated
facing aft could become dislodged when the boat is underway,
which could result in sliding off the seating and making contact
with the transom or swim platform. Jump seats should be secured
against the deck with a lock pin accessible under the observer
seat to avoid dislodging passengers while the boat is underway.
Removable seat backing should always be secured prior to use.
Care should be taken to avoid pinching fingers or other skin when
sliding the backing or securing/removing the removable seats.
Special Attention
In models equipped with a judge’s seat, the observer seat must
always be closed prior to any adjustments to the judge’s seat
back rest, including installing or removing the seat. Failure to
close the observer seat can result in damage to the observer seat
upholstery. Such damage may not be covered by the warranty.
Special Attention
In some models, removable cushions are available as an option. In
those instances, regardless of where the cushions are custom-
built to be placed, they will be constructed of the same materials
as the rest of the upholstery material. That means that they will
require the same cleaning and care. (See Care and Maintenance
upholstery information in this Owner’s Manual.) Removable
cushions should also be stowed in storage when the boat is
underway unless they are snapped into position. Failure to stow
or snap removable cushions could result in the cushion being lost
overboard.
Another attractive feature on some boat models is the folding
arm rest, normally found in the bow section. These arm rests are
padded with durable upholstery, which requires the same type of
care as all of the boat’s upholstery. (See Care and Maintenance
upholstery information in this Owner’s Manual.)
