EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
Sea Hunt boats are equipped with
an emergency stop switch that is sup-
plied by the engine manufacturer. This is
a safety feature that, if used properly,
will shut the engine(s) down if the opera-
tor leaves or falls from the helm position.
This ignition shutdown switch in-
cludes a shut-off switch, switch clip, lan-
yard and lanyard clip. The lanyard clip is
attached to the operator. If a situation
arises where the boat should stop, a pull
on the cord to release the clip from the
shut-off switch will shut down the en-
gines. To reset the emergency stop
switch, simply reinstall the switch clip.
The ultimate decision to use the emer-
gency stop switch rests with the captain/pilot.
RENDERING ASSISTANCE
The owner or operator of a vessel is required by law to render all
practical or necessary assistance to any person or vessel affected by
collision, accident or casualty. However, you should not endanger
your vessel or passengers to render assistance.
ACCIDENT REPORTING
Report all boating accidents to your local authorities. Federal regu-
lations require boat operators that are involved in an accident to submit
a written report within 48 hours. In the event of death or disappearance
notification is required immediately by phone or radio in addition to the
written report. These reports can be submitted to the State Boating Law
Administrator. Forms can be obtained through the USCG, local harbor
patrol offices, sheriff and police stations.
BOATING SAFETY TIPS
Safety is the first priority in any boating trip. Remember- the
safety of your vessel and all aboard are your responsibility. The fol-
lowing precautions will add to you and your passenger’s boating
safety and pleasure.
Study all operation and maintenance manuals for your Sea Hunt
before operation. Contact your dealer with any questions or con-
cerns. Proper operation and maintenance will insure quality per-
formance and the longevity of your boat.

A 50 amp circuit breaker on the battery selector panel protects
the feed to the helm panel. The helm panel contains circuit breakers
and switches for the DC components. Four (4) accessory switches
are available to connect additional DC loads. Look at the electrical
schematic to determine the amperage of the breaker wired to each
circuit. Choose a circuit with a properly sized breaker for your in-
tended load.
WINDLASS
Anchoring can be less laborious if your boat has a windlass acces-
sory. Sea Hunt Boats installs an optional 12 volt windlass and a
stainless steel anchor roller. The windlass is protected by a 50 amp
breaker. It may be operated by the foot switches mounted at the bow
or from a rocker toggle in the switch panel at the helm. See the wind-
lass operation and service manual for further details.
