new Mainship boat, as well as boating safety, which is our primary concern, whether in ports or
at sea.

Please mail in all manufactures’ registration and warranty cards to ensure that your Mainship
and Original Equipment Manufacture (O.E.M.) warranties are valid. The individual warranty
cards are contained in the owner’s packet along with all of the O.E.M. manuals. please remem-
ber that all the information contained in the O.E.M. manuals supercedes the information con-
tained 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 Axillary, United States Power
Squadron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting safe boating courses.

Thank you for choosing Mainship. I am confident your new boat will provide you and your fam-
ily with years of enjoyable boating.
