12.4 Operating Your Boat
After Starting the Engines:
• Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are
reading normally.
• Visibly check the engines to be sure there are
no apparent water, fuel or oil leaks.
• Check the operation of the engine cooling sys-
tems by monitoring the temperature gauges
frequently until the engine temperature sta-
bilizes at normal operating temperature.
• Check the steering and engine controls for
proper operation.
• Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for
securing a boat are on board and in good
condition. All lines should be coiled, secured
and off the decks when underway.
• Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.
Remember:
When you operate a boat, you accept the respon-
sibility for the boat, for the safety of passengers
and for others out enjoying the water.
• Alcohol and any drugs can severely reduce
your reaction time and affect your better
judgement.
• Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to
several different signals at once.
• Alcohol makes it diffi cult to correctly judge
speed and distance, or track moving objects.
• Alcohol reduces night vision, and the ability to
distinguish red from green.
YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT
WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR
DRUGS.
• Make sure one other person on the boat is
instructed in the operation of the boat.
• Make sure the boat is operated in compliance
with all state and local laws governing the use
of a boat.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS
COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS
TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO
SPECIFICATIONS.
• Always operate the blowers when operating
the boat below cruising speed or when the
generator is running to help cool the engine
compartment and remove dangerous fumes.
• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill
and experience of you and your crew. Learn to
understand weather patterns and indications
for change. You should monitor NOAA weather
broadcasts before leaving port and periodically
while boating. If the weather deteriorates or
a storm approaches, seek shelter in a safe
harbor.
• Use caution during periods of reduced vis-
ibility due to weather or operation conditions.
Reduce speed and designate a passenger to
be a lookout for other boats, obstacles and
navigational markers until you reach port or
conditions improve.
• Your Monterey is a heavy boat that will pro-
duce a large wake at certain speeds. You are
responsible for damage and injury caused by
your boat’s wake. Always observe no wake
zones and be aware that your wake can en-
danger small vessels and their passengers.
Always be courteous and slow down to reduce
your wake when passing smaller boats.
• Before operating the boat for the fi rst time,
read the engine break-in procedures. The
break-in procedures are found in the owner’s
manual for the engines. The manual is in the
literature packet.
• As different types of engines are used to
power the boat, have the dealer describe the
operating procedures for your boat. For more
instructions on “How To Operate The Boat,”
make sure you read the instructions given to
you in the owner’s manual for the engines you
have selected.
