of you and your passengers is in your hands. Plan your trips carefully. Insure ample fuel

supply and reserve. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.

Keep current charts onboard. Read and observe USCG boating safety circulars.

Regulations

The USCG is the authority of all the waterways. State boating regulations are enforced by

local authorities. You are subject to marine traffic laws and "Rules of the Road" for both

federal and state waterways, and must submit to boarding if requested by proper authority.

There are many publications available from the Coast Guard concerning regulations and

more. For additional information call the boating safety hot line at 1(800) 368-5647.

Equipment

USCG regulations require the following equipment while operating your boat:

* Fire extinguisher

* Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each occupant

* One throwable PFD

* Sound signal device

* Navigational lights if operated at night

* Sight signal (flare- night, orange flag- day) when in coastal waters or great lakes.

* Anchor and sufficient line

In addition, here is a list of suggested equipment you should have aboard your Pro Line:

* First aid kit and blankets * Sea anchor with line

* Mooring lines and fenders * Bailing device

* Combination oar / boat hook * Tool kit and lubricant

* Spare prop, nut & washer * Spare fasteners, hose clamps, plugs

* Local charts and compass * Water proof flashlight

* 2 way radio (with proper license) * EPIRB (emergency beacon)

* Floating key chain & spare keys * Navigation device

* Emergency food and water * Water proof matches or lighter.

Passenger Safety

You are responsible for the safety and conduct of your passengers, make sure that:

* You instruct passengers on proper use and location of PFD's; children

and non-swimmers should wear one at all times.

* When underway each passenger is in a safe location, and knows to keep

the boat balanced.

* At least one other person knows how to operate the boat in case of emergency.

* They are aware of dangers of the prop, and the possibility of sudden

maneuvers and jolts.

* You turn the engine off and remove key when swimmers are near the

prop or using the dive platform.

* All keep away from lines under stress should they break and recoil.

Rules of the Road

Know and use the rules of the road, the information here is only a brief overview. For

detailed information contact the USCG.

Audible warning signals:

* One short horn blast: starboard course change.

* Two short horn blasts: port course change.

* Three short horn blasts: astern operation.

* Five horn blasts: doubt about previous signal, or danger.

* One Five second blast every minute: for fog operation

When overtaking, the give-way vessel announces intention with horn blast(s) and waits for

same response, then completes maneuver.

When approaching head on both boats give way after giving appropriate horn blast.

(preferable to starboard).

When crossing a vessel converging from starboard has right of way, port vessel gives way

(both acknowledge with one short horn blast).

Know and observe navigational buoys and markers.

Give way to craft under sail.

Hazardous Conditions

Keep track of weather developments and avoid hazardous conditions if possible. When

forced to operate your Pro Line in storm conditions:

* Wear PFD's

* Stow loose gear and equipment.

* Place heavy items as low as possible.

* Head for the easiest to reach safe location.

* Reduce speed. If the boat leaves the water, you're moving too fast.

* If power fails, rig a sea anchor off the bow (an empty ice chest in a pinch).

* Stay with boat if it capsizes, unless it is burning out of control.

Alcohol

Don't drink and drive. If you have been drinking have someone drive who has not been

drinking. Never operate a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Carbon Monoxide

Be aware of and avoid conditions that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning (see USCG

boating safety circular 77). Sources of carbon monoxide include any gas or diesel engine,

any flame such as a charcoal grill, stove or heater. Carbon monoxide can accumulate to

deadly levels in enclosed spaces. Always ventilate occupied areas of vessel with fresh

clean air.

Fire

Be aware of and avoid conditions that lead to accidental fire. Guard against and watch for

fuel spills and leaks. Inspect wiring for damage or exposure that could lead to short

circuits or arcing. Make sure those who smoke are vigilant against their ignition source

starting a fire. Don't allow smoking while fueling. Keep a USCG approved fire

extinguisher aboard at all times. Inspect the fire extinguisher regularly, learn how (and

instruct others) to properly use it. Only use water to fight a fire as a last resort and then

only after making arrangements to abandon the boat if a fire should get out of control.

If a fire is burning out of control and you must abandon the boat keep the following in

mind: * Abandon the boat into the wind to minimize burn risk from floating fuel.

* Wear a PFD unless you must swim under burning fuel.

* If swimming under burning fuel throw a PFD outside of the burning area and

swim under the burning fuel to it.

Flooding

Be aware of and avoid conditions that can cause your boat to flood with water.

Possible causes of flooding include; damage to hull or thru-hull fitting, waves washing into

the boat, water entering cockpit due to improper loading.

If water enters the boat faster than the bilge pump can expel it, the boat will become

flooded and may swamp, capsize, or sink.

Controls

Ignition

The ignition switch has three positions; off, on, start. To start the engine; attach safety

lanyard (see illustration), turn the key clockwise against the spring pressure to the start

position, as soon as the engine starts release clockwise pressure allowing spring tension to

return switch to the on position. If the engine fails to start in 5 seconds of cranking allow

the starter to cool 10 seconds and repeat.

For detailed instructions see engine manual.

Choke

The choke is only used to aid in starting a cold engine. Operation varies with manufacture,

consult your engine manual.

Safety Shut Down

The Safety shut down switch shuts off the engine in case the operator is thrown from the

boat or helm. To ensure proper function always attach the lanyard securely to the operator.

Shift/ Throttle

Your Pro Line can be ordered with several different shift/ throttle systems. Refer to the

owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation.

The shift lever has three positions; forward, neutral, reverse. The shift function occurs in

the first portion of the lever travel. After the transmission is shifted into gear, further

movement of the lever advances the throttle. To move forward, push the lever ahead, pull

back for reverse. Centralize the lever to the detent for neutral. The shift lever is equipped

with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor from starting in gear. Practice shifting a

few times without the engine running to develop a feel for the range and friction of the

system. The initial short movement of the lever to engage the transmission should be made

firmly to avoid causing gear clash. CAUTION: Use care in shifting to avoid advancing

the throttle more than intended. Practice in an safe area away from obstacles until

familiar with the feel.

The throttle can be operated independently for starting. Refer to the engine/ drive manuals

in your owners packet for specific information. If attempting to start an engine this way,

keep a hand on the throttle to pull it back as the engine clears to prevent over speed.

Actual Binnacle will vary depending on Engine Package

Steering

Your Pro Line is equipped with a self contained hydraulic steering system. When the

steering wheel is turned the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder, causing the

boat to turn. Always check the operation of the steering before starting the engine.

Periodically check the fluid level and fill if necessary. Beware of adding too much fluid

especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent expansion could cause

leaking or damage to your system (refer to manual in packet). Every 24 hours of operation

check all nuts, caps, and hose fittings for tightness. Check that the hoses are not chafing, or

kinking on sharp corners. Also check that hose ends are not damaged or distorted by the

clamps.

The fluid should be changed yearly under normal conditions, twice yearly for heavy use.

If your steering does not operate properly first check for; drive entanglements, fluid level,

hoses / fittings for leaks, and / or air in the system.

Instruments

Your Pro Line's instrumentation will vary from model to model and engine to engine,

therefore the following descriptions are general; refer to your engine manual for specifics.

Fuel Gauge

Differences in temperature, humidity, speed and trim can affect the actual accuracy of this

gauge in service. It is important to verify the fuel flow in gal./hr. for your boat and make

note of your gauge position with respect to time for different RPM settings. No gauge can

give 100% accuracy. If you notice unusually high or low fuel consumption, investigate

further to see if the engine is using more fuel than normal or the gauge has failed.

Water Temperature

The water temperature gauge indicates the internal water temperature of your engine. Your

engine is equipped with a thermostat to quickly bring the engine up to its optimum

operating temperature range of 150 to 170 degrees f. All outboard engines are also

equipped with a audio alarm system indicating a over heat condition, if the gauge or alarm

indicates a over heat condition, immediately shut the engine off, lift the drive and inspect

water intakes for obstructions such as aquatic vegetation or mud. After finding the source

of the overheating, restart engine and confirm water flow, if water does not flow within

five seconds shut the engine off.

Volt

The volt meter indicates battery voltage; normal reading is between 12 to 15.5 volts. A low

reading indicates too heavy of a load or a dysfunction in the charging system. Too high of a

voltage indicates a fault of the charging circuitry and continued operation will damage the

battery.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of your engine. Do not operate

the engine beyond the limits stated in your engine manual. Abnormally low tach. readings

(for a given throttle setting) indicates loss of power, or an prop entangled with weeds or

trash; check the prop first. A reading higher than normal indicates a ventilating or

cavitating prop, or prop/ drive damage.

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of your boat in Miles per hour (MPH).

The gauge operates by sensing water impact pressure from the pitot tube mounted on the

transom. (or integrated into the lower drive unit of the motor). If the gauge fails to give a

reading, suspect a blocked pickup.

Trim

The trim gauge indicates the in (down) and out (up) position of the drive unit in relation to

the hull. (see Trimming your boat p.18 )

Options

Optional instrumentation for your Pro Line includes: fish locator / depth finder, VHF radio,

GPS navigation aids, etc. Refer to the manuals supplied.
