DANGER!

TANK ACCESS HATCH CLOSED.
CRESTING WAVES REPRESENT A MAJOR BOAT STABILITY AND FLOODING
HAZARD.
- SHOULD A DECK HATCH SEAL BECOME DAMAGED, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
DEALER TO ENSURE REPLACEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- AVOID SUDDEN COURSE CHANGES AT FULL SPEED. REDUCE SPEED WHEN
WAVES ARE ENCOUNTERED FOR THE COMFORT AND SAFETY OF THE
OCCUPANTS.
