Damage to the engine by use of low-quality gasoline or
gasoline with an octane rating below the minimum level
listed will void the warranty on the boat. (Page 6-3)
Fuels that are blended to contain methanol or wood
alcohol should not be used. These fuels can corrode
metal parts in the fuel system and engine. Fuels that
contain methanol will damage the engine. Damage
caused by the use of unapproved fuels is not covered
by warranty. (Page 6-3)
Extended storage with fuel in the system can affect the
fuel’s stability and may require system inspection and
fuel filter replacement when the unit is placed back into
service. (Page 6-3)
Lifting slings must never contact shafts, struts or hard-
ware protruding from the hull. Damage may result that
would void the warranty. (Page 11-1)
When the boat is out of the water, it is important to sup-
port the hull correctly to avoid any hull damage. Such
damage may void the warranty. (Page 11-1)
Crossing cables or jumper cables may result in damage
to the electrical components due to incorrect battery
connections. Such damages may not be covered by
your warranty. (Page 15-4)
Attention must be paid to any leakage occurring in the
propeller shaft log area. Water intrusion into the trans-
mission, which can happen if excessive leakage is oc-
curring may cause serious damage. Such damage may
not be covered by the warranty. (Page 15-2)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-
quarter of a tank full may affect the reliability of the fuel
pump or result in damage to the fuel pump, which is not
covered under warranty. (Page 6-3)
When boating, avoid using the windshield as an aid
for balance or getting out of a seat. This causes undue
stress to the window frame and could damage it, which
may not be covered under warranty. (Page 7-1)
Engines should always be operated within engine
manufacturer guidelines. Failure to do so may cause
significant damage to the engine and drive train and is
not covered under warranty! (Page 10-3)
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature
is above normal operating parameters may cause seri-
ous damage to your engine. Damage to your engine
resulting from operating the engine in an overheated
condition can be costly to repair. Such damage is not
covered by your warranty! (Page 5-6)
Failure to follow the break-in procedure exactly as stated
will void the engine warranty! (Page 8-1)
