Hunter 45DS • Getting Underway
13.2
Before you go on the first cruise, you should be able to
answer “yes” to the following questions:
Has your dealer completed the pre-delivery service
inspection? Have you and your dealer signed the Pre-
Delivery Inspection Report?
Have you filled out and mailed all warranty registra-
tion cards?
Have you read and do you understand this owner’s
manual and the OEM manuals?
Has your boat been registered with the proper author-
ities? Does your hull display the proper identification?
Has your dealer reviewed with you the operation of
the boat and its systems? Has your dealer answered all
your questions?
If you have taken care of these preliminary steps, you
are ready to take your first cruise. Before you start, give
some thought to the cruise itself. Choose a calm day if
you can.
13.1 Boarding your Boat
Make it a routine to visually inspect the exterior of your
boat every time you approach it to board. Look for signs
of damage that could be caused by the dock or other
boats.
13.1.1 Preparing to Board
As you board your boat, you should listen for any alarms
which could be sounding. The high water alarm at the
helm will warn you of the high water bilge pump in opera-
tion. The CO detectors could indicate the presence of the
deadly Carbon Monoxide gas. The dangers of Carbon
Monoxide are detailed at length in the Boating Safety
Chapter of this manual, and in the insert that is placed in
the Boating Safety Chapter.
Note: There are other issues that could cause these alarms
to sound such as the loss of power in the batteries that feed
the CO detectors and the systems. This is so you are warned
that you are nearing the loss of function of these important
systems.
CAUTION

WARNING
! !
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence
of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which will KILL YOU! If
the alarm sounds:
1. Press the Reset/Silence button.
2. Call Emergency Services.
3. Immediately move to fresh air, outdoors, or to an open
window or door. Do a head count to check that all persons
are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move
away from an open door or window until the emergency
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your alarm remains in its normal operation.
4. After following steps 1, 2, and 3, if your alarm reac-
tivates in a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1 – 3 and call
a qualified appliance technician. Write the number
here: _______________________________________
______________to investigate for sources of CO from
fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for
proper operation of this equipment. If problems are
identified during this inspection, have the equipment ser-
viced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
checked by the service technician and contact the manu-
facturer directly for more information about CO safety and
this equipment.
There are also alarms on your engine that could be
sounding if the engine is running. Be sure and check
your manufacturer’s documentation for information con-
cerning these alarms.
13.1.2 Upon Boarding
