1.5 Equipment Manufacturer Manuals
Mainship purchased various equipment and compo-
nents from other manufacturers and installed them on
your boat while it was being built. Examples include the
engines, pumps, and the generator. Most OEMs (Original
Equipment Manufacturers) have provided operation and
maintenance manuals for your boat’s equipment. Keep
OEM manuals with your Mainship Operator's Manual in a
safe and accessible place. Be sure to pass them along
to the new owner if you sell your boat.
NOTE: The OEM manuals take precedence over the
Mainship Operator's Manual. If information in the
Mainship Operator's Manual differs from that in the OEM
manuals, follow the information in the OEM manuals.
1.6 Warranties
Nearly all OEM equipment has its own limited warran-
ties. Warranty registration cards are in your Operator’s
packet.
Locate and read the individual warranties; put them
together for easy, future reference.
For international owner's; your warranty can be found in
your CE compliant Owner's Manual.
For U.S. and non-EU compliant countries, your warranty
info can be found in the Warranty section, chapter 3 of
the Operator's Manual.
1.7 Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The "Hull Identification Number" located on the star-
board aft side, is the most important identifying factor,
and must be included in all correspondence and orders.
Failure to include it creates delays. Also of vital impor-
tance are the engine serial numbers and part numbers
when writing about or ordering parts for your engine.
Refer to the engine manufacturers manuals for locations
of engine serial numbers, and record them for future
reference.
1.8 Manufacturers Certifications
As a boat manufacturer Mainship builds their products to
guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act
of 1971. The act is promulgated by the U.S. Coast Guard
who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manu-
facturers that sell products in the United States. Mainship
ensures that all of it's products comply with these laws.
The NMMA, National Marine Manufacturers Association,
provides Mainship with a third party certification. The
NMMA is an organization that represents the marine
industry and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, mari-
nas, repair yards and component suppliers in areas of
legislation, environmental concerns, marine business
growth, and state and federal government agency inter-
action. The third party certification that Mainship partici-
pates in, uses well known Standards and Recommended
Practices of the ABYC, American Boat and Safety Council.
We at Mainship participate extensively in the ABYC,
which is all non-profit, and develops and publishes
voluntary standards and recommended practic-
es for boat and equipment design, construction, ser-
vice and repair. We utilize all applicable ABYC
standards in the construction of Mainship boats.
Finally Mainship sells their products worldwide, and as
such must conform to the various rules and regulations
required by other countries. Most notably are the ISO
standards in Europe which require the application of the
CE (Common European) mark. This mark, much like
the NMMA certification here in the U.S., gives you the
boat owner specific information concerning your boat.
