ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The Owner’s Manual Packet provides:
• Basic safety information;
• Descriptions of boat features;
• Descriptions of equipment on your boat;
• Descriptions of fundamentals of boat use; and
• Service and maintenance information.
This Owner’s Manual Packet is part of your
boat’s equipment. Keep it on board the boat at
all times. You must learn to operate this boat as
well as read, understand, and use this manual.
This manual does not give you a course in boating
safety, or how to navigate, anchor, or dock your
boat. Operating a powerboat safely requires more
skills, knowledge, and awareness than is necessary
for operating a car or truck.
Due to our policy of continuous product improve-
ment, the illustrations used in this manual may not
be identical to the components, controls, gauges,
etc. on your boat, as they are intended to be repre-
sentative reference views. Some controls, indica-
tors, or information may be optional and not includ-
ed on your craft.
Important: Keep the completed Boat Data
Record in a safe place at home. Do not keep it
aboard the boat.
Your Responsibilities
Popularity of boating and other water sports has
grown tremendously in the past few years. To main-
tain boating safety and the safety of your passengers,
other boaters, and people in the water, you must:
• Take a boating safety course;
• Fully understand and become familiar with the
operating procedures and safety precautions in
this manual packet;
• Understand and follow boating rules; and
• Learn how to navigate.
Dealer Responsibilities
A dealer’s responsibilities are to:
• Discuss the terms of all warranties and stress
the importance of registering warranties with the
appropriate manufacturers;
• Explain how you can obtain warranty services;
• Complete new boat and pre-delivery inspection
procedures. Sign the inspection form to certify
that all items were completed;
• Provide an orientation in the general operation
of your boat; and
• Provide the complete Owner’s Manual Packet.
Warranties
Your Chaparral boat is backed by a Limited Express
Warranty. It is important that you are aware of its
terms. If a problem arises with your Chaparral boat
as a result of workmanship or materials, contact
your dealer as soon as possible to determine
whether correcting the problem may be covered by
the warranty. Please have your hull identification
number and necessary model numbers on hand for
the items that may need service or repair.
Your hull identification number is located below the
rub rail on the starboard aft corner of your boat.
Please see Chaparral’s Warranty Policy at the end
of this section.
Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is located on
the starboard side of the transom. The HIN is the
most important identifying factor and must be includ-
ed in all correspondence and orders. Failure to
include it creates delays. Engine serial numbers and
part numbers are equally important when writing
about or ordering parts for your engine. Refer to the
Engine Operator’s Manual for locations of engine
serial numbers and record them for future reference.
