• Turn off the engines when the person is

board.
• Check the person for injuries and administer
first aid if necessary. If the injuries are serious,
call for help. Refer to the Safety Equipment

MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS.
THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS, OR
OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM
PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE THE
ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. STOP THE
ENGINE(S) IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE
ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY
STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE

12.1 Trash Disposal
The discharge of plastic trash or trash mixed with
plastic is illegal anywhere in the marine environ-
ment. U.S. Coast Guard regulations also restrict
the dumping of other forms of garbage. Regional,
State, and local restrictions on garbage discharges
also may apply.
Responsible boaters store refuse in bags and dis-
pose of it properly on shore. You should make
sure your passengers are aware of the local waste
laws and the trash management procedure on your
boat. Refer to the placard mounted on your boat
for more specific information regarding solid waste
disposal.
12.13 Transporting Your Boat
Your Monterey is a large boat and should only be
trailered by professionals that have the knowl-
edge and equipment to move large boats without
causing damage.
Please contact your dealer or the Monterey Boats
Customer Service Department if you are planning
to transport your boat and have any questions in
regard to the proper equipment and support for
the hull.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS
THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND
PADS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT
PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE
LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING
ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER
SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE MONTEREY
WARRANTY.
