Thank You!
From the General Manager
Dear Hunter Owner,
Congratulations and welcome to the Hunter family! As a Hunter owner, you will enjoy the quality and the
attention to detail for which Hunter Boats are renowned. Hunter and your dealer are committed to your
service and total satisfaction.
This Operator’s Manual will acquaint you with the proper operation and maintenance of your new Hunter
boat, as well as boating safety, which is our primary concern, whether in ports or at sea.
The new boat warranty registration form you signed at the time of delivery will be sent to us by your dealer.
This registers the one year warranty and establishes your contact information in our system. It will also
activate Hunter's Customer Satisfaction program (CSS), our effort to insure the highest level of satisfaction
and enjoyment with your new Hunter. Within a few weeks of delivery you will receive a letter asking you to
complete an online questionnaire primarily about your experience with the dealer. Several months later you
will receive a second letter asking you to evaluate the boat. We value your opinion and hope that you will
take the time to complete both surveys.
As you already know, we work with the highest quality equipment manufacturers to supply the components
for your boat. To receive full warranty coverage on all the individual components, such as engine, electronics
and appliances, be sure to complete and return to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) warranty
cards to activate the individual warranties for these important components. You will find them in the owner's
packet that also contains the OEM manuals for this equipment. Please remember all the information con-
tained in the OEM manuals supersedes the information contained in this manual.
Finally, if you are new to boating, be certain to learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of
your passengers. Refer to Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling Manual for important
and useful information concerning this aspect of boating. Attend a safe boating course offered by the United
States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting
safe boating courses.
Thank you for choosing Hunter. I am confident your new boat will provide you and your family with years of
enjoyable boating.
