Introduction
BEFORE CRUISE
Before casting off on your voyage ensure the proper safety gear is onboard.
Inspect all safety gear and make sure it is up to date and not expired. It is impor-
tant that you are familiar with the location and operation of all safety equipment,
engine controls, steering operation, starting procedure, and how to interface with
the Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). Understand local regulations and waterways
and review the contents of this owner’s manual, your engine user manual, and
the MFD user manual before casting off.
ll boat owners should ta e a course with a certified training service to understand
boating and the ‘rules of the road’ on the water. For more information contact your
Tiara Yachts dealer; a licensed professional captain; United States Coast Guard
Auxiliary; or United States Power Squadron. We strongly recommend purchasing
and reading the current edition of
Chapman Piloting & Seamanship .
The maiden voyage should be approached on a calm weather day. Learn to ma-
neuver the boat in calm open water using the steering wheel, throttle controls,
and joystick.
