Use only marine grade replacement parts. Most automotive and residential parts are not suitable
for use in the harsh marine environment. Using them could lead to premature product failure,
property damage, or personal injury.
4.4.1 Capacity Information
On all boats under 26 feet in length, the manufacturer is required
to provide capacity information. If you own a model under 26 feet
in length you will find a rectangular metal plate near the helm.
This plate will provide information on horsepower ratings and
total capacities which include person capacities, motor(s) and
gear. As an owner you should be aware of the weight on board.
Exceeding capacity can endanger your passengers and vessel, as
well as void any warranty remaining on the boat should a failure
occur. Remember this is a guideline for normal operation, and
does not release you from responsibility should an accident occur.
You must use rational judgement when adverse conditions are
expected, and reduce your loads to create a margin of safety.
This label means your Glacier Bay is certified by the NMMA. With this tag, you are
assured your fuel system, electrical system, lighting, ventilation, and steering are not
only in compliance with the US Coast Guard regulations, but also meet the more
stringent standards of the NMMA. The NMMA is a national trade organization
serving all elements of the recreational boating industry including manufacturers of
boating equipment. With this tag, you can have confidence in the safety of your boat.
Pursuant to NMMA certification, all Glacier Bays over 26’ in length are “Yacht Certified” and carry the
placard shown below. Person and gear capacities are not predetermined, they are left to the operator’s
discretion. Therefore, the amount of load allowed onboard
should result from considering all safety precautions.
Horsepower ratings, however, are set by Glacier Bays and
should not be exceeded. The second page in Section 9.2 of this
manual will provide information on the maximum horsepower
ratings for your boat. Exceeding the factory recommendation
will result in loss of warranty coverage on your vessel.
