LEGACY SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
12
| P a g e LEGACY SERIES
• Back drafting from your own boat’s exhaust.
• At slow speeds, while idling or stopped. Be aware that CO can remain in or around your boat at dangerous levels even if your engine or the other
boat’s engine is no longer running.
WEIGHT LIMITS AND DISTRIBUTION
All boats have weight limits. Failure to adhere to the posted limits can cause operation instability and/or the boat
to sink. This may result in serious injury or death, as well as significant damage to the boat, which will not be covered
by warranty.
Overloading a boat may cause it to become unstable and may potentially result in the boat’s flotation system becoming
overwhelmed. Too much weight can sink any boat. Within this Owner’s Manual and on a label mounted in each boat is the
Maximum Capacity for that specific model. Bear in mind that maximum limits include additional water ballast bags and water
put in them, gear brought onto the boat, additional options, and all people. Maximum people are limited to the number of on-
plane seating positions. Equally critical is how weight is distributed throughout the boat. The weight must be distributed evenly
throughout the boat. If too much weight is placed in one area it can have serious impact on maintaining control. Items and
people can also shift positions during operation, potentially causing a dangerous situation.
LINE OF SIGHT
Care should also be taken to avoid interfering with the boat operator’s line of sight when the boat is underway. This applies
particularly to individuals riding in the bow. It is possible to obscure the driver’s view quite unintentionally. Even momentary
interference can result in the driver’s inability to respond to a situation that requires avoidance of another vessel or
submerged or partially submerged objects. NauticStar recommends using the driver seat bolster or standing to maintain a
safe lookout and proper visibility when necessary. Everyone on board should always pay attention to other vessels, people
and objects located near the boat, activities taking place in or near the water, and should always be supportive of the boat
operator.
The law requires the boat operator to always maintain clear visibility and, in all directions, when the boat is in motion.
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (PFDS) AND ACCESSIBILITY
Federal law requires at least one wearable Type I, II, III or Type V Personal Flotation Device (“PFD”) for each person on-board
or being towed on water skis, wakeboards, surfboards, or other recreational equipment. A Type V PFD provides performance
of either a Type I, II or III PFD (as marked on its label) and must be used according to the label requirements. In addition, one
throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board. As the owner, obtaining the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. You must
also determine whether people on-board, including those who are underage, are required to wear PFDs when underway. Your
NauticStar dealer can, and will be happy to, assist you with your purchase of appropriate PFDs. People on-board who cannot
swim or who are not strong swimmers, as well as children, should always wear PFDs.
• Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible in the boat.
• It should be possible to put on the PFDs within a reasonable amount of time in case of emergency.
