All instructions given in this book are as seen from the stern
looking toward the bow with starboard being to your right,
and port to your left. The information and precautions listed
in this manual are not all inclusive. It may be general in
nature in some cases and detailed in others. The suppliers of
some of the major components such as engines, pumps, and
appliances, provide their own owner’s manuals which have
been included with your boat. You should read the information
in this manual and the manuals of other suppliers completely
and have a thorough understanding of all component systems
and their proper operation before operating your boat.
REMEMBER - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
ENSURE THAT YOUR BOAT IS SAFE FOR YOU AND
YOUR PASSENGERS. ALWAYS EXERCISE GOOD
COMMON SENSE WHEN INSTALLING EQUIPMENT
AND OPERATING THE BOAT.
Warranty and Warranty Registration Cards
The Albemarle Limited Warranty Statement is included
with your boat. It has been written to be clearly stated and
easily understood. If you have any questions after reading
the warranty, please contact the Albemarle Customer Service
Department.
Albemarle, engine manufactures, and the suppliers of major
components maintain their own manufacturer’s warranty and
service facilities. It is important that you properly complete
the warranty registration cards included with your boat and
engines and mail them back to the manufacturer to register
your ownership. This should be done within 15 days of the
date of purchase and before the boat is put into service. A form
for recording this information is provided at the beginning of
this manual. This information will be important for you and
service personnel to know, if and when you may need service
or technical information.
The boat warranty registration requires the H ull I dentification
N
umber
“HIN”
which is located on the starboard side of
the transom, just below the rubrail. The engine warranty
registration requires the engine serial number(s). Please refer
to the engine owner’s manual for the location of the serial
number(s).
IMPORTANT:
All boat manufacturers are required by the Federal Boat
Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time owners in the event
any defect is discovered “which creates a substantial risk of
personal injury to the public.”
It is essential that we have
your warranty registration card complete with your name
and mailing address in our files so that we can comply
with the law if it should become necessary.
