•Read 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

Structural Limitations

The swim platform extension is designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance. The load limit for the swim plat-

form extension is 30 pounds per square foot, evenly distributed.

Qualified Maintenance

•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 supplement, the engine owner’s manual,

and all accessory literature.

Special Care for Moored Boats

•Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.

•This will detract from your boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance, and may damage the gel coat.

•Periodically haul your boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap

and water.

To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, allow ONLY qualified personnel to perform

maintenance on, or change, in any way, the:

•Steering system

•Propulsion system

•Engine control system

•Fuel system

•Environmental control system

•Electrical system

•Navigational system

WARNING!

•To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the chance of gel coat blistering while your boat is

moored, apply an epoxy barrier coating.

•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.
