Skeeter FX Series Manuale utente
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Skeeter boat. This Owner’s/
Operator’s Manual contains information you will need
for proper operation, maintenance, and care. A
thorough understanding of these simple instructions
will help you to obtain maximum enjoyment from your
new boat. If you have any questions about the
operation or maintenance of your boat, please consult
a Skeeter Dealer.
Because Skeeter has a policy of continuing product
improvement, this product may not be exactly as
described in this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of
this boat and should remain with it even if the boat is
subsequently sold.
This document contains many of Yamaha’s valuable
trademarks. It may also contain trademarks belonging
to other companies. Any references to other companies
or their products are for identification purposes only,
and are not intended to be an endorsement.
RECORD IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
In addition to this manual, your Skeeter boat is
supplied with component manufacturer information
such as instructions, warranties, or other important
information. Read these materials carefully.
Safeguard information about your Skeeter boat by
recording the Hull Identification Number (HIN) and the
model of your boat, and the model and serial numbers
of your outboard motor, trailer, and accessories.
Your HIN is located on the top right side of the
transom, above the water line. The U.S. Coast Guard
requires that your HIN be permanently affixed and
remain on the top right side of the transom.

SAFETY INFORMATION
The safe use and operation of this boat is dependent
upon the use of proper operating techniques, as well
as upon the common sense, good judgment, and
expertise of the operator. Every operator should know
the following requirements before operating the boat.
• Before operating the boat, read this Skeeter
Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Owner’s/
Operator’s Manual for the outboard motor, the
literature for all other equipment supplied with your
boat or trailer, and all warning and caution labels
on the boat, motor, and trailer. These materials
should give you an understanding of the boat and
its operation.
• Never allow anyone to operate this boat until they
too have read the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual and
all warning and caution labels.
LIMITATIONS ON WHO MAY OPERATE
THE BOAT
• Skeeter recommends a minimum operator age of
16 years old.
• Adults must supervise use by minors.
• Know the operator age and training requirements
for your state. A boating safety course is
recommended and may be required in your state.
You can find local rules by contacting the United
States Coast Guard (USCG), the National
Association of State Boating Law Administrators, or
your local Power Squadron.
• This Skeeter boat has maximum capacities for
number of passengers and weight on board. Never
exceed these maximum load limits. Weight
distribution affects performance. Keep weight in the
boat low and evenly distributed from side-to-side
and front-to-back. Remove any unnecessary cargo
and store it on shore.

BOATING SAFETY
1-3
Overpowering / Overloading
DO NOT overpower or overload your boat. Your boat
is equipped with a required capacity plate indicating
the maximum acceptable power and load as
determined by the manufacturer following certain
Federal guidelines. In doubt, contact your Skeeter
Dealer.
Typical Capacity Plate

1-4
Using an outboard motor that exceeds the maximum
horsepower limit of a boat can:
• Cause loss of boat control.
• Place too much weight at the transom, altering the
design flotation characteristics of the boat.
• Cause structural damage.
Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury,
death, or boat damage.
BOAT SETUP
Your Skeeter boat is shipped from Skeeter with almost
all the necessities to operate your boat. Not all boats
will be equipped as others, since you have the option
on how to accessorize and equip your boat.
The installation of your outboard motor is already done
by Skeeter. The installation height may have to be
adjusted to optimize and maximize its performance.
(The installation height is the distance from the bottom
of the cavitation plate to the top of the straight edge.)
The installation height should never be adjusted by
someone who is not qualified to establish the correct
installation height. The installed height is based on an
average, since Skeeter cannot predetermine your
boat’s loads or uses. The addition of add-ons or
accessories which can inhibit performance and safety
should never be added as a means of trying to
increase performance. If you believe you are
experiencing poor performance, contact your Skeeter
Dealer.
DO NOT overpower or overload your boat.
