The U.S. Coast Guard has also issued regulations requiring boats
to have a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes
are to be stored in a holding tank or other device, such as a Porta-
Potti, until the device can be pumped out or otherwise disposed of
at a shore facility. Discharging this waste overboard is in most cases
prohibited. Check with the Coast Guard regarding regulations in
your area.
OWNER’S LOGS AND RECORDS
At the end of this chapter are three forms which you will find very
helpful.
Use the Boat Data Record to record all important information about
your boat and the major components installed. After you have
entered all the data, remove this form from your Owner’s Manual
and store in a safe place.
Do not keep this form aboard your boat.
The Travel Plan Log provides a record of your destination, depar-
ture and return times, boat description, passenger list, and other
information about the trip you have planned. At the bottom of the
form is space for listing emergency telephone numbers in case your
return is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for indi-
cating information about the person filing this report. Leave the
completed form ashore with a responsible person. We recommend
you make several copies of this form each boating season to ensure
an ample supply.
The Fuel Usage Chart is a handy way to record information cover-
ing engine hours, fuel consumption, miles traveled, as well as RPM
(revolutions per minute), Average MPH (miles per hour), and GPH
(gallons per hour).
WARRANTY POLICY TRANSFER
Your Chaparral boat is backed by a Limited Express Warranty. It is
important that you are aware of its terms. If a problem arises with
your Chaparral boat as a result of workmanship or materials, con-
tact your dealer as soon as possible to determine whether
correcting the problem may be covered by the warranty. Please
have your hull identification number and necessary model numbers
on hand for the items that may need service or repair. Your hull
identification number is below the rub rail on the starboard aft corner
of your boat.
The Chaparral Limited Warranty Policy may be transferred to sub-
sequent owner(s) providing the Ownership Transfer Record (OTR)
is completed and returned to the Chaparral Customer Service
Office. The OTR is located at the end of this chapter. Subsequent
owner(s) will receive the balance of warranty available subject to a
$100.00 deductible per occurrence for claims filed in accordance
with the Chaparral Limited Warranty Policy. The Ownership Transfer
fee varies by the length of the boat. The appropriate fee from the
Ownership Transfer Record should be submitted with the
Ownership Tranfer Record form to the Chaparral Customer Service
office at the time of the transfer.
