Inspecting the Fuel System
The fuel system can be accessed through removable panels in the transom and in the
deck. Remove the panels and check the fill fitting, the tank fittings and the vent lines at
the filler cap and at the tank for signs of leakage. Also check the hoses for signs of wear,
chafing and other deterioration. Replace any damaged fuel hoses immediately.
Inspecting the Steering Cable/Hoses
Your boat will come with an owner’s manual for the type of steering system that your
boat is equipped with. Refer to this manual for information on proper maintenance.
Never operate your boat with a damaged or improperly functioning steering system.
Inspecting the Shift Cable/Throttle Cable
Your boat will come with an manual for the type of engine controls fitted. Refer to this
manual for information on proper maintenance. Never operate your boat with a damaged
or improperly functioning set of controls, cables or linkages.
Inspecting the Circuit-Breakers and Fuses
Your boat is equipped mainly with resetable circuit breakers. These will pop out if
overloaded, and can be pushed back in with a fingertip to reset them. There is an in-line
fusible link coming off the main battery lead to your distribution panel. It is a Type ATC
30A fuse. Have a spare available in case you need to replace it. Inspect the fuses and
the electrical system of your boat monthly. Shut off the main electrical switch by your
battery (or disconnect the battery) and inspect the accessories. Trace the circuits and
inspect them for chafing and for broken or damaged wires, plugs, switches or
connectors. Never bypass a fuse or circuit breaker. If you are unable to find the cause of
the blown circuit, have your boat serviced by your dealership.
Winterization and Cold-Weather Maintenance
Caution!
Avoid serious damage to engine, water system and heater system.
Heater hoses on boats equipped with heater option must be drained after each
use in freezing temperatures and as part of annual winterization prior to
storage. Failure to do so may void warranty.
