•Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics.

Propeller

•Keep the propeller in good repair and at the correct pitch for your particular situation.

•A slightly bent or nicked propeller will adversely affect the performance of your boat.

jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death.

•Follow the instructions provided in the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, this Supplement, the engine owner’s manual

and all accessory literature.

Special Care For Moored Boats

•Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.

•This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.

•Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap

and water.

ENGINE DAMAGE HAZARD!

The factory standard propeller may not be the best for your particular boat and load

conditions. Refer to the engine manual for engine RPM ratings. The engine should reach,

but not exceed its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied.

Immediately contact your local Bayliner dealer if:

•The engine cannot reach its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied, or;

•The engine exceeds its full rated RPM when full-throttle is applied.

•Fuel System

•Environmental Control System

•Electrical System

•Navigational System

WARNING!

•To help seal thehull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoatblistering on moored boats,

apply an epoxy barrier coating.

•The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.

•Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental

standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the

laws in effect in your area.
