1.1 General
The EdgeWater 200CC / DC has been designed to be powered by a single outboard engine. If the
outboard you chose is two-cycle, make sure to monitor oil level in the oil tank, located in the aft port
locker.
Each outboard manufacturer provides manuals to carefully detail operation and maintenance of their
products. Please read and observe the instructions set forth in your outboard manual.
1.2 Owner / Operator Responsibilities
Registration
Registering your boat is important to you. Federal Law requires that all powered, undocumented vessels
be registered in their state of principal use. Contact the appropriate agency in your local state to obtain
specific registration information.
Reporting Boating Accidents
All boating accidents must be reported to the proper authorities in the state which the accident oc-
curred. If someone dies or disappears as a result of the recreational boating accident, it must be
reported immediately, with a formal report being made within 48 hours. If there is damage of more than
$500, or if the boat is completely lost, a formal report must be made within 10 days.
A “Boating Accident Report” form is located in the back of this manual, and if you need additional
information you may obtain it by calling the Boating Safety Hotline, 800-368-5647.
Education
Whether or not you are an experienced boater, attending a Boating Education Course can be beneficial.
If you are inexperienced, it is the best, safest way to begin your life on the water. If you are an experienced
boater, it’s always good to sharpen your skills.
Required Equipment
The U.S. Coast Guard requires certain equipment on each boat. In addition, they also set minimum
equipment and safety standards. For more detailed requirement information, obtain “Federal
Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats”, by contacting the Boating Safety Hotline,
800-368-5647.
Some states and local agencies require equipment that is not required by the U.S. Coast
Guard. Your local agency or dealer can provide specific information regarding these non-
standard requirements.
