All instructions given in this book are as seen from
the stern looking toward the bow with starboard
being to your right and port to your left. The
information and precautions listed in this manual
are not all inclusive. It may be general in nature in
some cases and detailed in others and is designed
to provide you with a basic understanding of your
Everglades boat and some of the responsibilities
that go along with owning/operating your boat.
The suppliers of some of the major components
such as the engines, pumps and appliances,
provide their own owner’s manuals which have
been included with your boat. You should read
the information in this manual and the manuals of
other suppliers completely and have a thorough
understanding of all component systems and their
proper operation before operating your boat.
REMEMBER - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
YOUR BOAT IS SAFE FOR YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS.
ALWAYS EXERCISE GOOD COMMON SENSE WHEN INSTALLING
EQUIPMENT AND OPERATING THE BOAT.
Warranty and Warranty Registration Cards
The Everglades Limited Warranty Statement is
included with your boat. It has been written to be
clearly stated and easily understood. If you have
any questions after reading the warranty, please
contact the Everglades Boats Customer Service
Department.
Everglades, engine manufacturers and the suppliers
of major components maintain their own manufac-
turer’s warranty and service facilities. It is important
that you properly complete the warranty registration
cards included with your boat and engine and mail
them back to the manufacturer to register your
ownership. This should be done within 15 days
of the date of purchase and before the boat is put
into service. A form for recording this information
for your records is provided at the beginning of this
manual. This information will be important for you
and service personnel to know, if and when you may
need service or technical information.
The boat warranty registration requires the Hull
Identification Number “HIN” which is located on the
starboard side of the transom, just below the rubrail.
The engine warranty registration requires the engine
serial numbers. Please refer to the engine owner’s
manual for the location of the serial numbers.
IMPORTANT:
The terms and conditions of the Everglades Boats
Limited Warranty are outlined in the warranty
statement included in this manual. The manu-
facturer will automatically honor the warranty to
the original purchaser for 15 days from the date
of purchase. However, during that 15 day period,
owners must comply with the steps outlined in
the warranty statement to validate their warranty.
All boat manufacturers are required by the Federal
Boat Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time own-
ers in the event any defect is discovered “which
creates a substantial risk of personal injury to the
public.” It is essential that we have your warranty
registration card complete with your name and
mailing address in our files so that we can comply
with the law if it should become necessary.
Your Everglades Boats Dealer will assist you in
filling in the hull number and other data required
on your Registration Card. Check to see that your
card is complete and signed. Detach and mail.
Your Warranty Registration Card will be added to
our permanent files.
