BILGE BLOWER

The bilge blower, controlled by a switch at the helm, evacuates fumes out 
of the engine compartment while bringing fresh air in through the deck 
vents. Make sure all fumes are evacuated from the engine compartment 
prior to starting the engine. The bilge blower must be running before and 
when you start the engine and while operating your boat below cruising 
speed.

RUNNING AND NAVIGATION LIGHTS

If you operate your boat at night, the law requires you to turn your boat’s 
running lights ON. Your Chaparral boat has one white, one red (port), and 
one green (starboard) light. Check running lights periodically for proper 
operation. Check them before heading out after dusk.

There are various running light combinations for the types of vessels you 
may encounter while boating. You should learn to identify what these 
combinations are and the type of vessel they are associated with. Chap-
arral recommends participation in a “safe boating” course to learn more 
about the various light combinations.

The running/navigation lights are controlled at the helm station by a three 
position rocker switch. This allows for selection of the mast (white) light 
ON when anchored or moored, or to have the mast (white), port (red) and 
starboard (green) lights all ON while underway.

Note: The Federal Water Pollution Act prohibits the discharge of 
oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable waters and contigu-
ous zones of the United States if such discharge causes a fi lm or 
sheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of the water, or causes 
a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of the water. Violators are 
subject to a penalty.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

The stereo in your boat is equipped with an AM/FM radio, MP3 and USB 
Jack, and premium water resistant speakers. 

The stereo also has a digital clock and antenna lead. 

Note:  It is the boat owner’s responsibility to manage battery voltage 
while using this feature to ensure battery/batteries are not drained 
to a point where engine will not start.

Refer to owner’s packet for instructions and warranty information.

WAKEBOARD TOWER AND HOLDERS

Wakeboard tower and holders are optional on this model. If equipped, the 
tower provides a raised attach point (ski tow pylon) for the ski rope, rated 
at a 600 lbs maximum. The high attach point enables the skier to perform 
a wide variety of skills not capable with the lower transom attach point.

Chaparral recommends that bimini tops be removed or stored when 
towing boats equipped with wakeboard towers.

The folded position of the wakeboard tower is for storage only. To prevent 
damage, do not tow boat with wakeboard tower in the folded position. 
When towing boat on a trailer, Chaparral recommends that the tower 
stays in the upright installed position to avoid damage to boat.

Important: Wakeboard holders extend out beyond the gunwale.Use 
care when towing, at dock and near other boats to avoid damage.

Note: Anytime while towing someone behind your boat, they should 
have their Personal Flotation Device (PFD) on and a third party on 
the boat to supervise at all times.

Refer to owner’s packet for instructions and warranty information.
