16
16. Engine
Your boat is powered by a single Mercury outboard engine. The maximum total propulsion power
rating for the craft is 165 kW. Do not operate this craft with an engine power rating larger than this.
The maximum power rating label is located at the helm, under the Capacity plate.
Quicksilver® recommends that you fully comply with the manual provided by the engine
manufacturer. Follow the recommended maintenance and warranty schedule in your Engine
Operator
’ s Manual. Refer to the Engine Owner ’ s Manual for operating instructions and warranty
information. The engines are warranted directly by Mercury, not by Quicksilver®.
17. Trailering
Quicksilver® does not offer a trailer for this boat, however, if you plan on purchasing one from another
vendor, please consider the following:
•
The trailer should have a center roller and keel guards which will help provide good support for
the keel.
•
Trailers with bunks provide a more even weight distribution.
•
The mass of your boat in trailering condition is 2419 kg. This includes the weight of a fully
optioned boat along with full liquid loads. This does not include gear weight usually associated
with operating the vessel.
18. Strong Points
Cleats
Your boat comes equipped with six cleats, two located on the bow, two located at midship, and two
located at the stern. The cleats are used to secure the boat to the dock while loading, unloading, or
mooring. If your boat does not come with a bow windlass, an additional cleat is installed on centerline
in the anchor locker for tying off the rode when anchoring.
Bow Eye / Stern Eye
Your boat includes a bow eye, which is used to haul and hold your boat onto a trailer. In addition,
there are two stern eyes, located on the transom, which are used as tie down points during trailering
the boat. The bow and stern eyes may be used for short term lifting of the boat only.
Towing
Quicksilver® does not recommend towing other boats, or being towed by other boats, unless it is
absolutely necessary. In the event that it becomes necessary for you to have your boat towed, a
professional company experienced in this type of operation is better equipped to handle this situation.
Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power
greater than that posted on the capacity label. Do not
operate at maximum speed while in congested waterways,
or in weather or sea conditions of reduced visibility, high
winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake as a courtesy
to others. Observe & obey speed limits and no wake zones.
