280 Outrage

INTRODUCTION

The material here and in the rest of the Owner’s

Manual Packet:

• Gives you basic safety information;

• Describes the features of your boat;

• Describes the equipment on your boat;

• Describes the fundamentals of boat use; and

• Contains service and maintenance

information.
You must learn to operate this boat as well as read,

understand and use this manual.
What this manual

does not

give you is a course in

boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor or dock

your boat. Operating a power boat safely requires

more skills, knowledge and awareness than is

necessary for a car or truck.

Your responsibilities

For your safety, the safety of your passengers, other

boaters and people in the water, you must:

• Take a boating safety course;

• Get instruction in the safe and proper handling

of your boat;

• Understand and follow the “rules of the road”;

• Learn how to navigate.

Source of Information

In North America, contact one of the following for

boating courses:

• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary

• U.S. Power Squadron

• Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons

• Red Cross

• State Boating Offices

• Yacht Club

Contact the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628

or go to www.boatus.com/foundation

and/or your governmental boating agency for

assistance.

A comprehensive background in boating can be

found in the book,

Chapman - Piloting, Seamanship

and Small Boat Handling

, by Elbert S. Maloney,

published by Hearst Marine.

Warranties

In addition to the Boston Whaler

Limited Warranty

for your boat, each component and/or system on your

boat has its own warranty that will be found with the

specific information and manual for that component.

The manuals are included with your Owner’s Manual

Packet. Locate and read the individual warranties,

then keep them together for easy future reference.
