Chaparral 225 SSi2012, Owner'S And Operator'S Manual

Page: 14 / 111

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 materi-
als, contact 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
subsequent 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 avail-
able 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.
