If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom. This will detract from
the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat. There are two methods of slowing
marine growth:
•
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap and
water.
S a f e t y S t a n d a r d s
Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it was
built. Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety
of other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this owner’s manual supplement, please read the owner’s manual and all accessory instruction
sheets for important safety standards and hazard information.

NOTI C E
•
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,
we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. 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.
DANGER
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! Do not allow anyone to ride on parts of the boat
not designated for such use. Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck,
bow riding, gunwale riding or occupying the transom platform while underway is
especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.
