Safety Standards
Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards 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 supplement, read the owner’s manual and all accessory
instruction sheets included in your owner’s packet for important safety standards
and hazard information.
