Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 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 covers some of the issues of improper use of the boarding platform.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 1.11 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 1.12 Lifting rings Your boat has lifting rings at the bow and at the stern. 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 1.13 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. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS PRACTICE CAN LEAD TO OVERLOADING OF YOUR BOAT. EACH CORRECT CRAFT, INC.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 1.14 Fueling Your Nautique features a port and starboard fuel fill cap. You may fill from either side.

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.

Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 3.2 boat care section. • Check to make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the belts and pulleys of the motor. 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. This is in the “straight up” position.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 3.3 If the fuel injected engine does not start: • If the fuel filter has just been changed or if the fuel system has been run dry, 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 AM Page 3.5 GENERAL NOTES The maximum RPM of the engine at full throttle under normal load conditions can be controlled by propeller pitch, diameter and design. It is essential that the propeller does not underload or overload the engine. Propeller Overloading, resulting in low RPM’s at wide open throttle will give poor performance, poor fuel economy and eventually result in engine damage.

Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:05 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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 also where the rudder comes up through the bottom of the boat. These devices contain a lubricated fibrous packing that acts as a seal.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 AM Page 6.6 Salt Water Boating IF YOU USE YOUR BOAT IN SALT WATER, FLUSHING YOUR ENGINE WITH FRESH WATER AFTER EVERY USE 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. The relief valve in this fitting prevents excessive water pressure from being applied to your engine.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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 don’t have a trailer, then a cradle should be used that takes into account the even distribution of weight.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 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. We do not recommend coating 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.
Ski Nautique 206-July29-2003.qxd 8/6/02 10:06 AM Page 6.10 Vinyl Care and Cleaning Correct Craft has selected the finest marine grade vinyl for your Nautique.
