350 SPORT YACHT
All instructions given in this book are as seen from
the stern looking toward the bow with starboard
being to your right, and port to your left. The
information and precautions listed in this manual
are not all inclusive. It may be general in nature
in some cases and detailed in others and is de-
signed to provide you a basic understanding of
your Monterey boat and some of the responsibili-
ties that go along with owning/operating your
boat.
The suppliers of some of the major components
such as engines, pumps, and appliances, provide
their own owner's manuals which have been in-
cluded with your boat. You should read the infor-
mation in this manual and the manuals of other
suppliers completely and have a thorough under-
standing of all component systems and their proper
operation before operating your boat.
REMEMBER - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
YOUR BOAT IS SAFE FOR YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS.
ALWAYS EXERCISE GOOD COMMON SENSE WHEN INSTALLING
EQUIPMENT AND OPERATING THE BOAT.
Warranty and Warranty Registration Cards
The Monterey Limited Warranty Statement is in-
cluded with your boat. It has been written to be
clearly stated and easily understood. If you have
any questions after reading the warranty, please
contact the Monterey Boats Customer Service
Department.
Monterey, engine manufacturers, and the suppli-
ers of major components maintain their own
manufacturer's warranty and service facilities. It
is important that you properly complete the war-
ranty registration cards included with your boat
and engines and mail them back to the manufac-
turer to register your ownership. This should be
done within 15 days of the date of purchase and
before the boat is put into service. A form for
recording this information for your records is pro-
vided at the beginning of this manual. This infor-
mation will be important for you and service per-
sonnel to know, if and when you may need ser-
vice or technical information.
The boat warranty registration requires the H ull
I dentification N umber “HIN” which is located on
the starboard side of the transom, just below the
rubrail. The engine and generator warranty regis-
tration requires the engine serial numbers. Please
refer to the engine and generator owner's manual
for the location of the serial numbers.
IMPORTANT:
The terms and conditions of the Monterey Boats
Limited Warranty are outlined in the warranty
statement included in this manual. The manufac-
turer will automatically honor the warranty to the
original purchaser for 15 days from the date of
purchase. However, during that 15 day period,
owners must comply with the steps outlined in
the warranty statement to validate their warranty.
All boat manufacturers are required by the Fed-
eral Boat Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time
owners in the event any defect is discovered
“which creates a substantial risk of personal in-
jury to the public.”
It is essential that we have
your warranty registration card complete with
your name and mailing address in our files so
that we can comply with the law if it should
become necessary.
Your Monterey Boats Dealer will assist you in fill-
ing in the hull number and other data required on
your Registration Card. Check to see that your
card is complete and signed. Detach and mail.
Your Warranty Registration Card will be added to
our permanent files.
Transferring the Limited Structural Warranty
For a transfer fee, MONTEREY BOATS will offer to
extend a Transferable Limited Structural Hull War-
ranty to subsequent owners of Monterey boats.
Please refer to the Monterey Limited Warranty
Statement for the terms and conditions of the
Transferable Limited Structural Hull Warranty and
the procedure to transfer the warranty.
