ing in the ears, tightness across the chest, headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, collapse and convulsions. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IS OFTENTIMES CONFUSED WITH SEASICKNESS. Outboard motors exhaust carbon monoxide, do not stand or swim near the motor when the engine is idling. Outboard powered open boats present a lower risk of exposure to endangerous levels of carbon monoxide from their own motors because natural ventilation dissipates the majority of the engine exhaust.

boat to determine the extent of damage. 1.If your boat has a ship-to-shore radio, contact (VHF Channel 16) the U.S. Coast Guard or other rescue authorities immediately. 2.Prepare to assist the other craft unless your passengers and/or boat are in danger. 3.If the bow of the other boat penetrated your boat's hull, prepare to block the opening once the boats are separated. 4.Shore up the hole with a spare PDF or bunk cushion from your boat. 5.
GUARD on Channel 16 (The Distress and Calling Frequency). In this situation you will normally be shifted to a common working frequency (21, 22, or 23) allowing the DISTRESS frequency to remain open. NOTIFY THE COAST GUARD PROMPTLY AS SOON AS THE EMERGENCY TERMINATES Radio Checks Do not use Channel 16 to call the Coast Guard merely for a radio check. Such use is prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission.
SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS HELM The helm station is the control center for the boat. The main control system is the engine throttle and shift controls and the steering system. These provide the operator the ability to control speed, direction, boat trim, and attitude. Each manufacturer provides manuals on the operation and use of their systems.
When shifting from neutral to forward or reverse, the operator should always perform a brief pause to allow time for the gearbox to engage in the proper gear at a minimum rpm. This pause will reduce gear clash and provide for longer gear life. Free Accelerator Set the control lever to neutral (N) and while pushing the free accelerator button, rotate the control lever. The throttle can be opened without shifting into any gear. This free accelerator is used when starting or warming up the engine. direction.
(Insert chart picture) This image was not provided! Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and use only the recommended oil types. In very cold weather (below 5°C (-15°F), use SAE 5W-30 for good starting and smooth operation. Gear Oil Use high quality SAE 90 hypoid gear oil. Gasoline > If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage may result. Use only unleaded gasoline. > Do not use fuel of a lower than recommended octane or fuel that may be stale or contaminated by dirt/water etc.
to your engine. Check with your engine manufacturer to get their recommendation. Do not attempt to control adjustments unless you are very familiar with their function, operation and adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the system components can adversely affect your boat's performance and safety. Misadjustment can also cause severe control, engine or lower unit damage. number the greater horsepower is required to turn it.
4.If the bow is too high or steering is difficult, your lower unit could be trimmed up to far. Trim IN to correct. 5.A good practice is to get underway with the unit trimmed all the way under or IN. After the boat is on plane, adjust the trim out slightly to obtain the proper bow attitude and engine RPM. 6.Trim also affects propeller selection and fuel efficiency.
The lower unit should never be trimmed up to a point where the propeller cavitates (or slips). A rapid increase in engine RPMs is evidence of cavitations. If this occurs accidentally while running at full throttle, immediately lower the lower unit trim and reduce the throttle unit until the slipping stops. Have your dealer reset the trim limit switch to avoid over trimming in the future. If the prop slips at lower planning speeds, the lower unit may be trimmed too high.
indicate a complete or partial blockage in the system or a water pump problem. If this does not return to normal, your dealer should check it to make sure the cooling system is operating properly. Fuel Guage This gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. It is always prudent to follow the "rule of thirds", onethird of the tank to get the destination, one-third to return, and one-third in reverse.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The corsair Foiler 2200 operates on a 12 volt DC system similar to your automobile. The system consists of a breaker panel, batteries, and battery switches. Battery Switches A separate battery switch isolates each battery. Unless these are "on", you cannot start your outboards. Also there is a battery selector switch. It has 4 position; one, two, both and off. You will need to select either one or two in order to operate your other electrical devices.
FUEL SYSTEMS Your Corsair Foiler 2200 is equipped with internal fuel tank system, consisting of port, starboard fuel fillers, fuel vents, sender units and the tanks themselves. Fuel Fill Plate The filler plates are located on each side of the boat, on top of the coaming and are labeled "Gas". Be sure to utilize the proper grade of fuel as specified in your engines owner's manual. Fuel Filter The fuel filter is installed near the engine.
Bilge When the boat is out of water it may be drained by a thru hull drain located at the bottom of the transom. This drain has a plug that may be removed. This plug should be periodically checked for tightness. Automatic bilge pumps have been installed in aft, bilge area. These should be checked for correct operation before heading off. You should also check that they are clear of debris. A separate switch panel is mounted on the console to operate these.
even after the nozzle is closed, as it pressurizes the hose. Once the pressure setting is reached, the switch opens and the pump stops. Duty Cycle Wash-down pumps are rated for intermittent duty (only), as they operate at higher than average pressures. Operating a pump continuously for more than twenty (20) minutes, within an hour period, is not recommended. Actual duty cycle is determined by amp draw, temperature, and rate of cycling. Rapid cycling should be minimized to ensure long life.
PRE- LAUNCH AND U N D E R WAY TRAILER Trailer Nuts & Bolts Even though we do all we can do to ensure that all nuts and bolts are tight when your trailer leaves the factory, it is the owner's responsibility to make sure all of the fasteners are tight before using the trailer on a regular basis. Load Carrying Capacity Make sure the total weight of your trailer, boat, engine and gear does not exceed the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
Open solenoid valve. The normally open solenoid valve is installed "in line" near the master cylinder. With the normally open solenoid valve, if the trailer is stopped in a downhill attitude, some positive pressure will remain in the brake line. When the back-up light is energized, the solenoid valve merely traps the pressurized brake fluid, which may or may prohibit backing up the trailer.
When going forward, remember that your trailer turns inside the tow vehicle, therefore the tow vehicle must start the turn slightly later than without the trailer. This allows the trailer to turn inside the tow vehicle radius without the trailer in the roadway.. When backing, remember, the bottom of the steering wheel will move in the direction the trailer will ultimately go.
> Place a line on the bow and stern cleats to be at the dock ready. > Have fenders out and on the proper side. Launching Guidelines Here are some tips to remember when putting your boat in the water. 1. Have an individual at the launch ramp give you directions. Back slowly down the ramp. Always remember to launch your boat at a right angle to the shoreline. 2.
feet. An eye splice at the end of each line should be large enough to fit comfortably over bow or stern cleats. If you are mooring your boat in an area where tides are a consideration, be sure to leave slack in the lines to make up for the rise and fall of the water. If you are mooring your boat for a short time, bow and stern lines may be the only lines you will need. If you are mooring your boat for a longer time or if the currents are swift, you should use spring lines.
The presence of the capacity plate does not relieve the boat operator from the responsibility of using common sense or sound judgment. Turbulent waters and adverse weather conditions will reduce the maximum load capacity rating of the boat. After Starting the Engine 1. Upon initial start-up, make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the engine break-in. 2. Check to be sure there is a telltale water stream exiting the engine. 3. Check the gauges to determine if everything is normal. 4.
down to the cruising speed of your choice, based on the sea conditions and your planned activity. 1. After coming on plane, raise the trim to a point where the engine is level with or slightly above the plane of the water. This is usually with the bow at about 3° to 5° above level. This will provide the smoothest, most economical operation. 2. Keep a constant vigil for other boats and watercraft and be prepared to give way, or slow down, if necessary.
anchor is still stuck, feed out a few feet of line and attach it to the bow cleat. Maneuver the boat around the anchor, keeping the line firm. Locate an angle that will pull the anchor free. Foil Characteristics The corsair Foiler 2200 has an alloy foil mounted between the two hulls. This gives extra lift to the boat. In doing so, the boat can travel faster, further, smoother and more efficient. To get the most use from the foil, you need to be traveling at a minimum of 25 mph.
WI N T E R I Z A T I O N AND STORAGE This section of your owner's manual will assist you in preparing your boat for prolonged storage. When cold weather has arrived, or a change in your boats usage requires extended storage, we suggest you follow the guidelines contained within this section. Corsair recommends a thorough annual inspection. Consult your engine manual for specific instructions covering winterization of the engine. PRIOR TO STORAGE Hull 1. Scrape off any barnacles or crusted marine growth. 2.
cover end of the battery cables. 5. A monthly recharge or continuous trickle charge should be applied to the battery during storage. Live Tank It is important to remove the water remaining in the hoses and pumps. Use a compressed air hose in all fittings and drain holes to remove all remaining water. Failure to remove all water from the live well system in freezing weather could result in component damage and/or leaks. This damage is not covered by the Warranty. Interior Cleaning 1.
CARE AND APPEARANCE This section includes recommendations for cleaning the aluminum, hardware, fabrics, vinyl, and carpeting on your boat. Although household cleaners may be used, they should be used in small quantities. Cleaners containing chlorine, solvents, or petroleum may damage your boat's components and are a pollutant if they get into the water. In addition, cleaners containing phosphates encourage algae blooms. Mixing cleaners can cause harmful chemical reaction.
clean as the exterior finish to prolong life and beauty. 1. Always try to clean up spills quickly to prevent staining. 2. Clean dirt and smudges with mild soap and warm water. If necessary, scrub with a soft bristle brush to remove dirt from textured vinyl. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel. 3. Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool and industrial cleaners can cause damage and discoloration and are not recommended.
