Boating Experience

If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and

safety, obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat.

Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For

more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:

•U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org

•U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org

Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local boat club can advise you of local

sea schools or competent instructors.

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 can result in cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check with

your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

Engine & Accessories Literature

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

•Read and understand 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.

Structural Limitations

The transom platform and bow platform are designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance. The load limit for

these platforms is 30 pounds per square foot, evenly distributed.

CONTROL HAZARD!

A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all times. DO NOT operate your boat

while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

WARNING!

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

NOTICE

2859 Classic Cruiser •Owner’s Manual Supplement Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Safety Standards

•Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it

was built.

•Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of

other people, vessels and property.

In addition to this Owner’s Manual Supplement, please read the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual and all accessory

instructions for important safety standards and hazard information.

•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 Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual, this Owner’s Manual Supplement, the

engine owner’s manual and all accessory instruction sheets and manuals.

FALLING and ROTATING PROPELLER HAZARD!

NEVER allow anyone to ride on parts of the boat not designed for

such use.

•Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck, bow riding, gunwale riding or occupy-

ing the transom platform while underway is especially hazardous and will cause personal

injury or death.

WARNING!

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard! 2859 Classic Cruiser •Owner’s Manual Supplement

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.

Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)

Your boat is equipped with sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration.

Check the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deteriorated more than 70%.

There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zincs deteriorate, including:

•Water temperature

•Salinity

•Water pollution

Stray electrical current from the boat or dock may cause complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is rapid

zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your boat with a Corrosion Test Meter. If the zincs are

not bonded correctly, they will not provide protection.

•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.

NOTICE

Do not paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do not paint over the zincs.
