Marquis owners have a wide range of abilities, from seasoned yachtsmen with years of experience to absolute beginners with a new-
found love for the water . Be honest with appraising your level of skill .
SHAKEDOWN CRUISE
Make sure that the following tasks have been completed before taking your first cruise:
Your Marquis Dealer has completed Pre-Delivery commissioning . The inspection is documented on the Pre-Delivery Service 1 .
Document and is signed by the dealer .
All warranty registration cards have been completed and mailed .
2 .
The Owner’s Guide and all OEM information has been read and understood . 3 .
The safety equipment onboard is in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations . 4 .
The yacht has been documented or registered, and displays the appropriate identification on the hull . 5 .
A representative from your Marquis Dealer has reviewed the operation of the yacht and its systems, and answered all of your 6 .
questions to your satisfaction .
Pick a calm day for the first outing if possible . The shakedown cruise with a new yacht is not the best time to bring friends or guests
along . Entertaining guests can be a distraction from the real purpose of the cruise, which is to become familiar with the yacht . ONLY
bring people (spouse and children) who will be part of the regular crew . Invite the sales person who sold the yacht, or a member of
your Marquis Dealer’s service staff along for the ride .
Carry a pad and pencil during the first outing . Write down any questions that come to mind during the cruise . Discuss the issues with
your dealer . Follow the procedures outlined at the beginning of this section for fueling and starting the yacht’s engines .
ITEMS TO PERFORM ON THE FIRST OUTING:
Proceed slowly . •
Have fun but remember that the objective of the cruise . The objective is to learn how the yacht operates and handles . •
Operate the engines at different RPMs . •
Try different trim angles . •
Monitor the gauges . •
Practice backing down and turning slow speed tight corners . •
Above all become familiar with the IPS Drive System . •
OPERATING AT PLANING SPEED
The yacht is equipped a “planing” hull . A planing hull skims over the water rather than through it . Planing is performed by first reaching
a certain speed, called planing speed .
The trim angle of the yacht increases, when accelerating from a dead stop, causing the bow to rise and the stern to drop . The yacht
eventually achieves plane, if acceleration continues, which means the bow slowly drops to a more level attitude .
cauTiON
GET ON PLANE AS SOON AS POSSIbLE. AVOID SPEEDS THAT CAUSE THE YACHT TO PLOW THROUGH THE WATER
WHILE IN A bOW-HIGH ATTITUDE. A bOW-HIGH ALTITUDE ObSTRUCTS VISION AND LIMITS THE YACHT’S HANDLING
AND PERFORMANCE CAPAbILITI
ES .
Once on plane, back the throttles off to a point where the hull is still planing but the engines are operating at a fuel-efficient speed .
TRIM TAbS
A trim system is designed into the operational controls . Trim tabs help the yacht get on plane by allowing the operator to adjust the
attitude of the yacht for variables such as: load, passengers, seas or wind . Use the tabs at planing speeds to make minor adjustments
in the fore-to-aft and beam-to-beam angle of the yacht .
