BOAT SYSTEMS
Knowing the systems on your Tigé boat is as important as knowing
the switches, controls and indicators on your boat. System
knowledge is essential for safe and proper operation and integrity.
When replacement parts are required, DO NOT substitute marine-
grade parts with anything other than parts with equivalent
characteristics, including type, strength and material.
Marine-grade parts are specifically designed for the conditions
and environment which marine products are exposed to. Using
substandard parts could result in injury and product failure.
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Gasoline and other fuels are extremely flammable and highly explosive
under certain conditions.
• DO NOT smoke or allow open flame or sparks nearby when refueling.
• DO NOT block fuel vents.
• DO NOT store fuel in any containers or compartments which are not
designated for fuel storage and DO NOT use these storage areas for
any other purpose.
WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL AND UNSAFE BOAT HAZARD
Improper maintenance of boat systems is hazardous and can cause
death or serious injury from sudden loss of control. Make sure all
systems are regularly inspected and maintained.
WARNING
FLOODING OR DROWNING HAZARD
A water system component failure is a flooding or drowning hazard which
can cause death or serious injury. Maintain all water system components
and keep seacocks closed during periods of inactivity.
STEERING
Your Tigé boat has a mechanical steering system. When the steering
wheel is turned, the dash unit transfers rotary motion of the wheel to
linear motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder arm.
Boat steering is not self-centering. Always keep a secure grip on the
steering wheel to maintain control. Improperly maintained controls
are dangerous.
Check steering operation and visually inspect for loose or missing
hardware before operating the craft. If you suspect the steering
system is damaged, see your dealer. DO NOT operate the craft if you
suspect the steering system is malfunctioning.
ENGINE
Your Tigé boat is powered by a single inboard engine. The specific
operation, specifications, maintenance and troubleshooting
information is contained in the engine owner’s manual included in
your Owner’s Kit. Familiarize yourself with the information contained
in the engine owner’s manual. Following the manufacturer’s
recommendations and guidelines will provide you with continued
boating pleasure and engine integrity.
