3.4 Warranty and Registration
A copy of the warranty follows this page. It has been
written to clearly identify what the owner’s rights are
under it.
The suppliers of systems and components offer
warranties for their products. If there are warranty
registration cards in the literature provided they
should be filled out. This will allow suppliers to notify
the boat owner of product issues and updates.
Back Cove Yachts is required by the Boating Safety
Act to maintain a file of first time owners.
When the Commissioning Checklist is complete it
must be signed and sent to Back Cove. This
documents that the necessary steps were taken at
the dealership to properly prepare the boat.
When additional systems or components are added
to the boat any product literature on them should be
added to those supplied. A complete file will greatly
assist the owner, should service be required.
Should a problem develop that is related to faulty
materials or workmanship the dealer should be
contacted. He or she will notify Back Cove and
coordinate necessary repairs. Failure to notify the
dealer prior to servicing may result in lack of warranty
reimbursement. The dealer and Back Cove can often
greatly control the cost of a repair if prior notice is
given.
3.5 Commissioning
The proper commissioning of the Back Cove 30 is the
responsibility of the dealer. This is a very important
step in assuring the satisfactory operation of the boat.
The construction and inspection of each Back Cove
is completed to the fullest possible extent in the yard.
Further commissioning, including the installation of
additional features and final inspection is necessary
under actual boating conditions and usage. This
commissioning procedure will also serve as a
guideline in future launchings.
Commissioning Checklist
The Commissioning Checklist included in this manual
must be followed and completed by the dealer at the
time of initial commissioning. The dealer should
check off each item on this list as the work is
completed. Both the owner and the dealer must sign
the bottom of the list confirming that all items are
completed. This signed copy must be returned to
Back Cove as part of Warranty Registration.
Proper Lifting
The careful placement of lifting straps is important to
avoid damage to the propeller shaft as well as
ensuring that the center of gravity is between the
straps. Caution should be exercised to avoid placing
the straps in contact with any thru-hull fittings.
Static Trim
The Back Cove 30 is designed to float correctly on
her lines, under normal conditions, when she is on
the mooring or at the dock. The trim is affected by the
weight of optional equipment, the loading condition of
the fluid tanks, and the placement of equipment and
supplies. In most cases the trim can be corrected by
storing heavy items in appropriate locations. If it is
necessary to further adjust the trim of the Back Cove
30, 30 lb. lead trimming ballast blocks can be
purchased from Back Cove Yachts.
Dynamic Trim
All Back Cove models are single diesel engine boats
and encounter variable torque conditions depending
on the engine chosen for your boat. Trim tabs are
installed to counter the dynamic forces that are
placed on the running surface of your boat. It is
expected that trim tabs will be require to level your
Back Cove when underway.
