through  this  owner’s  manual  and  make  sure  you  are  acquainted  with  the  neccessary  information  to 
properly and safely operate your new Goldfish. 

NOTE! 

High performance boats have a high power-to-weight ratio. If you are not experienced in the 

operation of a high performance boat, do not attempt to operate one at, or near, its’ top speed until you 
have gained that experience. 

Please make sure to always remember the following:

 

»

Always use dead man’s system when driving the boat. 

 

»

Avoid sudden maneuvers without warning the passengers.

 

»

Safe placing of passengers when driving at high speeds.

 

»

Right use of trim, power and throttle when executing an avoidance maneuver.
