WARNING!

212 •Owner’s Manual Supplement Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Engine & Accessories Guidelines

•Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service.

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

•Should you choose to install a different engine or to add accessories that will affect the boat’s running trim, have

an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.

Certain modifications to your boat will result in cancellation of your warranty protection.

•Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

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.

Engine & Accessories Literature

•The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals.

•Read these manuals before using the engine and accessories.

•Unless noted otherwise, all engine and accessory literature referred to in this Supplement is included in your

owner’s packet.

When storing your boat please refer to your engine’s operation and maintenance manuals.

NOTICE

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.

CAUTION

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard! 212 •Owner’s Manual Supplement

Qualified Maintenance

•Failure to maintain your boat’s systems (listed in the warning above) as designed could violate the laws in your

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.

To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, allow only qualified personnel to perform

maintenance on, or in any way modify the:

•Steering System

•Propulsion System

•Engine Control System

•Fuel System

•Environmental Control System

•Electrical System

•Navigational System

WARNING!

•To help seal thehull bottom and reduce the possibilityof gelcoat blistering 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.
