Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:22 AM Page 1.10 It is very important to read and be familiar with the information contained in these labels and to always adhere to the boat operation practices described on them. The United States Coast Guard issued a SAFETY ALERT on August 28, 2001 that cover some of the issues of improper use of the boarding platform.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:22 AM Page 1.11 “Why is it dangerous? It is like playing with a loaded gun,” Evans said. He then noted, “As I explained in the previous advisory, “Teak/Drag Surfing” entails individuals taking hold of the swim platform of a vessel while it is underway. After a large wake builds up, they let go of the platform and body surf. This puts the individual directly in the path of the vessel’s exhaust where they breathe in dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

These are designed to lift your boat in a steady and secure manner. Be certain to use a winch that has a lifting capacity sufficient for your boat. See boat weight specs in the front of this manual. These weights are dry weight. You must add the weight of the battery, fuel, and gear to the dry weight.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:22 AM Page 1.13 CAUTION: A FULLY LOADED NAUTIQUE WILL HANDLE DIFFERENTLY THAN A LIGHTLY LOADED ONE. DRIVE AND TURN YOUR NAUTIQUE WITH THIS IN MIND. AS WAKEBOARDING HAS DEVELOPED, WE HAVE WITNESSED THE ADVENT OF BALLAST SYSTEMS WHICH ADD WEIGHT AND INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE WAKE. THE SIMPLEST BALLAST SYSTEM ON THE MARKET IS THE WATER BALLAST TYPE, SUCH AS THE ‘LAUNCH PAD”. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE OPERATORS USE SUCH SYSTEMS AND THEN PUT ADDITIONAL PEOPLE IN THEIR BOAT.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 1.14 Fueling There is a fuel fill on the port and starboard side for added convenience. Remove the slotted fuel fill cap to put gas in the boat. There is a special “key” for this cap. Use caution when fueling your boat. Never fuel your boat unattended. Use care to avoid being splashed by fuel, or spilling fuel. Ski Locker Latch Push down on the raised portion of the latch and the handle of the latch will pop up. Lift the ski locker door with this handle.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 1.15 Engine Box Latching/Lifting There are two rubber latches that hold the top of the engine box to the base. Pull on the top of these latches and the upper part or the engine box will be released. Lift up on the engine box handle and the gas shocks will help you lift the engine box. This “clam-shell” design allows you to check the engine without lifting the entire engine box. You can leave the top open to dry the bilge.

System The system consists of: • One Gateway box to interface with MEFI IV ECU and external senders and sensors. • One 5” Tachometer with Fuel Monitor • One 5” Speedometer with Depth Sounder • optional second 5” Speedometer • Various 2” instruments, including but not limited to • Voltmeter • Oil Pressure gauge • Fuel gauge • Engine Temperature gauge • others as specified. Initial Setup The setup function is normally only used for a new installation.
Speedometer / Depth Sounder The Serial Bus Speedometer / Depth Sounder provides both the functions of a speedometer and a depth sounder. The analog speedometer is a stepper motor instrument which looks like a standard analog device but which is actually a digital instrument. On small pointer movements you may occasionally see the pointer moving in the one third degree “steps” that represent the accuracy of the instrument.
The speedometer also measures the water pressure in the pitot tubes when power is first turned on. This measurement is subtracted from later readings to correct for the pressure caused by the weight of water over the pitot pick-up. For maximum accuracy, the boat should not be moving when the key is turned on, especially in a re-start condition. If the boat is moving, the pressure in the pitot will be greater than normal, resulting in the speedometer reading low.
The display will show “S X.X” Up Button Down Button alarm will resume if the condition that caused the alarm is not corrected. The operator can cancel the alarm as many times as necessary, until the condition is corrected. The depth alarm warning will replace any information on the LCD screen. Canceling the alarm will restore the LCD to the original display. If not already in the depth mode, this would be a good time to switch to it (using the “mode M” button) in order to monitor water depth.
Holding the “mode M” button in for 2 seconds will save the new deep setting and change the display back to the normal depth mode. Set to zero to disable alarm. M Mode Button Keel offset Adjust depth sounder to measure depth below keel or drive instead of sensor. The display will show “K Up Button Down Button buttons will cycle through the choices.

Tachometer / Fuel Monitor The Serial Bus Tachometer / Fuel Monitor instrument provides both the functions of a tachometer and a fuel - engine monitoring system. The analog tachometer is a stepper motor instrument which looks like a standard analog device but which is actually a digital instrument. On small pointer movements you may occasionally see the pointer moving in the one third degree “steps” that represent the accuracy of the instrument. The tachometer LCD screen displays several functions.
Hours Remaining The “time remaining” display shows how many hours the boat can operate based on the fuel remaining in the tank and the current fuel usage rate. Instrument Lights The navigation light switch must be on for the instrument lights to function. The “Up” and “Down” buttons on the tachometer control the instrument lighting brightness. Pressing the “Up” button increases light intensity. Engine Temperature Displays the Coolant Temperature of the Engine. There are no adjustments available.

Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 3.1 Chapter 3 ENGINE OVERVIEW It is the owners responsibility to check all of the items below to be certain all preparation steps have been completed before you use your boat. Checking these items periodically will soon become habitual. If leaks or other abnormal conditions are found, stop using the boat and contact your Correct Craft dealer to have the problem(s) corrected.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 3.2 dealer adjust the stuffing box. There is a detailed instruction for this in the boat care section. • Check to make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the belts and pulleys of the engine. Severe injury can result by becoming entangled in the belts of the engine while it is running. Make sure the boat is deep enough in the water to supply the water intake with water to cool the engine. Move the throttle into the neutral position.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 3.3 it will be necessary to cycle the ignition start button from the “stop” position to the “start”position several times until the fuel pumps build adequate pressure. The cycling of the ignition is necessary because the fuel pumps will run only 1-2 seconds when the ignition is turned on, unless the engine starts. The throttle control should stay in neutral during engine ignition.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 3.4 After your initial run: • Check oil level in the engine • Check the transmission oil level • Check for leaks (water, fuel and oil) • Engine frame bolts and mounts are tight • Throttle and shift control operates correctly WARNING: If the engine backfires when you try to start it, the problem may be more serious than flooding. DO NOT CONTINUE TRYING TO START THE ENGINE; CONTACT YOUR CORRECT CRAFT DEALER OR A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 3.5 may clog the water passages in the engine. Heavy weed growth in the water can plug the raw water strainer and oil coolers and cause engine damage. There is a raw water filter located near the rear of the engine that filters the water before it goes into the transmission cooler and then the engine. Check this every time you use the boat to make sure it is not clogged. 3.

Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 5.1 Chapter 5 BOAT HANDLING GUIDELINES /SAFETY REGULATIONS • Always observe the rules of the road and use common sense and courtesy on the water. If you think of it as driving a car, it becomes a bit easier. If a boat is coming towards you, you should pass that boat keeping it on your port (left) side. • In a “crossing situation,” that is, another boat passing in front of you, if the boat is on your starboard (right) side, that boat has right-of-way.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 5.2 • There are no brakes to help you stop your boat. Boat speed, water current and wind can affect your ability to stop safely. The driver must use caution and sound judgment at all times to maintain control of the boat, especially to maintain a reasonable distance from all potential areas of danger. Slow down in all areas of potentially hazardous navigation and in all conditions of reduced visibility.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.1 Chapter 6 B O AT CARE There are some engine maintenance functions that are best performed by your dealer. Maintenance items that can be done by you or your dealer are listed below. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with these even if you have your dealer service your boat. The old adage “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies to your boat.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.2 PROPELLER Here are a few tips for the installation of the propeller. CAUTION: A propeller can be very sharp so be careful when you handle it. It’s a good idea to wear a pair of protective gloves when handling any propeller. 1. Before placing the propeller on the shaft, take a look at the keyway on the shaft and in the propeller. Make sure the key slides freely in the shaft keyway as well as the propeller keyway.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.3 3. When the castle nut is tight, look for the cotter pin hole and insert the stainless steel cotter pin through the shaft. (see illustration). With a light tap, drive the cotter pin down through the slot and hole so that its rounded top rests snugly against the hole. Bend the loose ends of the cotter pin back against the shaft with a pair of pliers and tap them lightly to secure. To remove propeller, remove the cotter pin.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.4 PROPELLER SHAFT STUFFING BOX The stuffing box is designed to prevent water from coming through the through-hull fittings. These are found on the propeller shaft where the shaft goes through the hull and where the rudder comes up through the bottom of the boat. These devices contain a lubricated fibrous packing that acts as a seal.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.5 5. Using wrenches as in step three, re-tighten the locking nut against the gland nut. Make sure that it is VERY TIGHT. If you still experience leakage, consult your dealer. 6. Loosen one of the hose clamps at the rear of the assembly. Rotate the assembly until the safety wire eyelet is on top, and retighten the hose clamps. 7. Replace the safety wire as shown in the illustration. NOTE: BE SURE TO REPLACE THE SAFETY WIRE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.6 NOTE: BE SURE THE ENGINE IS OFF WHEN YOU ARE DRAINING YOUR OIL. (See PCM Owner’s Manual for step-by-step instructions) Salt Water Boating IF YOU USE YOUR BOAT IN SALT WATER, FLUSHING YOUR ENGINE AND COOING SYSTEM IS A MUST. Flushing the system by running the boat in fresh water is a good way to flush the engine, but it must be done immediately. If this is not possible, Correct Craft offers a optional fresh water flush kit.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.7 Winterizing Your Boat Winter storage procedures vary depending on climate, type of storage and length of storage. Check with your dealer/storage facility manager for their advice on what works best in your climate. When storing your boat up on a rack system, it is important that the racks adequately support the hull bottom. If you do not have a trailer, then a cradle should be used that takes into account the even distribution of weight.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.8 This minimizes overflow of fuel from the fuel vent. Not only can this overflow be hazardous, but it will also adversely affect decals and pin striping on the boat. Always allow room in the tank for fuel expansion caused by temperature differences. Add a fuel stabilizer that slows down the rate of fuel decomposition. You can purchase this material at most marinas or auto supply stores.
Sport Nautique 216 2003.qxd 7/29/02 11:23 AM Page 6.9 Teak Care Teak is a unique wood used for marine applications. It is an open cell wood that is highly resistant to the dry-rot associated with many other woods and is also highly resistant to marine organisms. Don’t coat the teak on your boat with any kind of varnish or polyurethane coatings. There are several teak oils available at marine supply stores. When the teak on your boat is new, it has a medium brown color.
