COMMISSIONING YOUR BOAT
6.1 BEFORE LAUNCHING YOUR BOAT
The procedures described in this chapter should be completed before launching
your boat for the first time, and are best accomplished by your Tiara Yachts dealer
or other qualified marine service facility. Your engine and Volvo ® IPS drives, if
installed, should be prepared according to the engine user manual.
Your Tiara Yachts dealer must provide S2 Yachts with your boat registration and
signed customer acceptance form within 30 days of registration in order to acti -
vate your warranty.
6.1.1 Bottom Paint
If your boat is equipped with a factory-applied first coat of bottom paint, a second
coat should be applied over the first, just before launching. Paint has been pro -
vided by Tiara for this purpose. Follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations
for preparation and application. Applying the second coat right before launching
maximizes the paint’s anti-fouling properties.
If your boat has not been ordered with factory-applied bottom paint, and will be
kept in the water for three weeks or more at a time, the bottom should be painted.
We recommend having your Tiara Yachts dealer or other qualified marine service
facility apply the paint. Choose a primer-type paint system that does not require
any sanding or abrading of the gel coat surface. Follow the paint manufacturer’s
recommendations for preparation and application. Your Tiara comes with a war -
ranty against gel coat blistering that may be voided by breaking (e.g., sanding)
the gel coat surface.
6.1.2 Bilge Areas
Close all seacocks before launching the boat. This Tiara is not equipped with a
garboard drain plug.
