Boating Experience

If this is your first yacht or if you are changing to a type of yacht you are not familiar with, obtain handling and 
operating experience before assuming command of the yacht.

Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. 
For more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:

U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org

In Canada, for the CPS courses call 1-888-CPS-BOAT.

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org

Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local boat club can advise you of local 
sea schools or competent instructors.

Engine & Accessory Guidelines

Your yacht’s engines and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.

Installing different engines or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.

Should you choose to install different engines or to add accessories that will affect the yacht’s running trim, have 
an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your yacht again.

Certain modifications to your yacht will result in the cancellation of your warranty protection. Always 
check with your dealer before making any modifications to your yacht.

Engine & Accessory Literature

The engines and accessories installed on your yacht come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.

Read and understand these manuals before using the engines and accessories.

Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this Owner’s Manual Supplement is 
included in your owner’s packet.

CONTROL HAZARD!

A qualified operator must be in control of the yacht at all times. DO NOT operate your yacht 
while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

WARNI N G!

!

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