Section 3 Emergency Procedures Reprinted from “Fishing and Skiing Boats Owner’s Manual” with permission from the NMMA. ABANDONING SHIP The time to think about emergencies is before they happen. Plan ahead. Know what to do before you encounter any of these situations. Wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) when boating. BURN HAZARD • Swim against the current or wind if you abandon ship. Leaking fuel will float with the current and may ignite.
LEAKS • Immediately switch on bilge pumps. • Assign crew to operate manual pumps, if needed. • If boat is taking on water, have someone take the helm while you manage damage control. • Slow or stop to minimize inflow. However, if you can keep a hole above water by maintaining speed, do so. • If possible, patch the outside with whatever material is available.
CARBON MONOXIDE Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, extremely toxic gas. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea and unconsciousness. A poisoning victim’s skin often turns cherry red. Have the victim breathe fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention. Consult your national boating law enforcement agency. VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS U.S.

Battery Cable Installation & Precautions Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation and charging. Sparks or flames near the battery vent openings can cause the mixture to ignite and explode. Your battery is an important part of your boat. It provides all of the power to start your boat and also allows all of your electrical components to work, even if the motor is not running (bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.).
Section XI Cleaning, Care & Storage Fiberglass Care Rub Rail Care Washing and waxing the boat hull and deck regularly will extend the life and beauty of your Moomba. It is a good routine to rinse your boat with fresh water after each day’s use. It is recommended that the hull and deck be cleaned and waxed after every 50 hours of use. This will decrease water friction and lessen the potential for staining or spotting on the gel coat surface.
Upholstery Cleaning Foreign Deposits Tree sap, bird droppings, airborne chemicals, petroleum products and other foreign matter may damage the gel coat surface if not removed promptly (See Washing Instructions). Boat Hull Protection If your Moomba is to remain in the water for an extended period, the hull below the water line should be painted with a marine bottom paint. Boats left in the water for extended periods of time without bottom paint may experience blistering or discolorization.
Section XII Winterization & Dry Storage Winterization Summerization When the boating and ski season comes to a close, it is important to have your boat professionally winterized. Before using the boat after it has been in dry storage requires some special treatment. Moomba recommends having your boat professionally summerized, preferably by the same facility that prepped it for storage. They will be familiar with what items were done in the fall and what items need to be addressed in the spring.
Hoisting CORRECT HOISTING If the boat ever needs to be hoisted, special attention should be given to the following recommendations: • Hoist the boat using a horizontal lifting bar only. • Never attempt to lift the boat by means of a cable sling from bow to stern lifting eyes. • Hoist operator should slowly and smoothly lift the boat without jerking to avoid damage to the lifting eyes. • Use a clevis inserted through the lifting eye since a hook may damage the lifting eye edges.
Section XIII Technical Information Battery Specifications Identification Number A good Quality Marine Dual Purpose Battery is recommended. The hull identification number is located on the upper right hand side of the transom below the rub rail. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation or charging. Sparks or flames can cause this mixture to ignite and explode if it comes near the vent openings.
