Safety Standards

! DANGER!
DANGER
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! DO NOT allow anyone to ride on parts of the
boat not designated for such use. Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward
deck, bow riding, gunwale riding or occupying the transom platform while
underway is especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.

! DANGER!
DANGER
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! ALWAYS secure the anchor and other loose objects before get-
ting underway. The anchor and other items that are not properly secured can come loose when
the boat is moving and cause personal injury or death.

• Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it
was built.
• Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of
other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this owner’s manual supplement, please read the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual and all accessory
instructions for important safety standards and hazard information.

Engine & Accessories Guidelines

NOTICE
When storing your boat please refer to your engine’s operation and maintenance manuals.

• Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.
• Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.
• Should you choose to install a different engine or to add accessories that will affect the boat’s running trim, have
an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Certain modifications to your boat can result in cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check with
your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

Engine & Accessories Literature

• The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.
• Read and understand these manuals before using the engine and accessories.
• Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this supplement is included in your
owner’s packet.

Qualified Maintenance

! WARNING!
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, allow only qualified personnel to perform
maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system, propulsion system, engine control
system, fuel system, environmental control system, electrical system or navigational system.

• Failure to maintain your boat’s systems (listed in the warning above) as designed could violate the laws in your
jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death.
• Follow the instructions provided in the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, this Owner’s Manual Supplement, the engine
owner’s manual and all accessory instruction sheets and manuals.

Special Care For Moored Boats

NOTICE
• To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,
apply an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect 2000E/2001E. The barrier
coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
• Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.

• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
• This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.

CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD! Classic Runabouts • Owner’s Manual Supplement

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

! DANGER!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!
DANGER
Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous. All
engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as exhaust. Direct and
prolonged exposure to CO will cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.
Signs of CO poisoning include:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness

• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.

• Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
• Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.
• The effects are cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.

Factors increasing the effects of CO poisoning include:

• Age
• Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke
• Consumption of alcohol
• Lung disorders
• Heart problems
• Pregnancy

4
Classic Runabouts • Owner’s Manual Supplement CHAPTER 1: WELCOME ABOARD!

Sources of CO
To correct stationary situations a and/or b:
• Close all windows, portlights Sources of CO include:
and hatches. a. Using engine, generator, or
• If possible, move your boat away from other fuel burning device
when boat is moored in a
source of CO. confined space.

b. Mooring too close to another boat

that is using its engine, generator,
To correct running situations c and/or d: or other fuel burning device.
• Trim bow down.
• Open windows and canvas. c. Running boat with trim angle
of bow too high.
• When possible, run boat so that pre-
vailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
d. Running boat without through
ventilation (station wagon effect).

IMMEDIATELY take corrective

action if CO is detected or suspected.

What if Carbon Monoxide is Detected or Suspected?

• Immediately ventilate and evacuate any enclosed spaces that are occupied by people and reset your CO alarm.
• Immediately move anyone showing any symptoms of CO poisoning into fresh air.
• See a doctor if any symptoms persist. If the person is unconscious, immediately administer oxygen or CPR and
call for emergency help.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm System (If Equipped)

• Your boat may feature a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm system.
• Do not disconnect the alarm system.
• Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did not receive an instruc-
tion manual, call (800) 383-0269 and one will be mailed to you.
• If your boat is not equipped with a carbon monoxide alarm, consider purchasing one from your dealer or marine
supply store.
