Owner’s/Operator’s Manual
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the fire-prevention system manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
for more detailed safety precautions, operation and maintenance
instructions.
This system should be checked at least annually, and more frequently if
recommended by the manufacturer. CROWNLINE Boats, Inc. recommends an
inspection at the beginning of your boating season, and again at mid-season.
HAND PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The hand portable fire extinguisher is located under or near the helm and is a Type
B-I (5 BC rating). The U.S. Coast Guard requires all Class 1 boats (16 to less than 26
ft [4.87 to less than 7.97 m]), that
DO NOT
have a fixed (Halon) fire-extinguishing
system installed in the engine compartment to have a Type B-1 on-board at all times.
All Class 2 (26 to 39.4 ft [7.92 to 12 m]) powerboats are required to carry two
approved B-I extinguishers or one approved B-II type hand portable fire extinguisher
unless equipped with a fixed fire-extinguishing system in the engine compartment.
When equipped with a fixed fire-extinguishing system, only one B-I type hand
portable fire extinguisher is required.
Type B-I fire extinguishers should be checked at least every three months.
CROWNLINE Boats, Inc. recommends monthly inspections.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the Type B-I fire extinguisher manufacturer’s information
for more detailed safety precautions, operation and maintenance
instructions.
FRESHWATER SYSTEM
The freshwater system provides water for drinking and bathing. The freshwater tank
is filled through the freshwater fill plate located on the deck.
Sanitize the freshwater system before initial use, after winter storage, or when the
system has not been used for an extended period of time. Refer to
SANITIZING
FRESHWATER SYSTEM
.
Freshwater Fill/Vent Plate
The freshwater fill plate on all CROWNLINE models is labeled “WATER.” Make sure
the water you use is fresh and cool. DO NOT fill the freshwater tank with anything
other than fresh, cool water or any sanitizing or winter storage products.
IMPORTANT:
Fill the tank with fresh, cool water. Using and refilling the tank often
will help keep it clean and fresh and a source of clean, fresh
drinking water.
