WARNING: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
HAZARD.
Do
not
operate the boat if any component is
not
in
proper working order. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
This section provides safety information for use when
operating a boat equipped with Dometic controls and
steering.
General:
• Know and obey all applicable federal, state, and
municipal laws and regulations that govern boating
in your area. Dometic recommends all boat operators
take a boating safety course.
• Never operate a boat while under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Before every use:
• Verify an immediate steering response when turning
the steering wheel.
• Check for binding, loose, worn, or damaged
components. If found, repair or replace.
• Check the steering cable for stiffness, cracks, or other
damage. If found, replace the steering cable.
• If the steering cable is stiff in operation, it is unsafe to
use and must be replaced immediately.
During use:
• Wear a Coast Guard-approved personal flotation
device (PFD).
• Attach the engine shut-off lanyard to your PFD.
• Do not allow anyone not familiar with the controls
(steering, shift/throttle, etc.) to operate the boat.
