!DANGER
Exhaust fumes from engines contain deadly carbon monoxide gas (CO). Boats with canvas or with poor ventilation are most likely to collect fumes.
CO sickness symptoms include headache, nausea and dizziness. Do not mistake these symptoms for sea sickness.
Ventilate boat. See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide, for more details.
Bimini Top or sunshade must not be used when the vessel speed exceeds 45 MPH. Damage to boat or bimini may occur.
Removing or installing canvas on the water can be difficult since rough water or wakes can cause you or your passengers to lose their balance while attempting canvas removal or installation.
6.Swim Platform w/ Ladder
Your H2X may have a swim platform installed with a ladder.
With this option, entering the boat from the water is more convenient, but there are safety rules that must be followed.
1.Never sit on the swim platform when boat is moving.
2.Before using or extending the ladder, make sure engine is off and prop is stopped.
3.It may be difficult to extend the ladder while in the water so it important to leave the ladder down if swimmers are in the water.
4.Always make sure ladder is secure before starting engine.
For safety and ease of installation and removal of canvas, use at least two people.
The following canvas options are available for the H2X:
!DANGER
MAKE SURE ENGINE IS OFF AND PROPELLER IS STOPPED BEFORE USING BOARDING LADDER
7.Depth Finder (Optional)
•Cockpit Cover
•Mooring Cover
•Trailering Cover
A.Canvas Care and Maintenance
See Section 9, page 9.2, for instructions on the care and maintenance of your canvas.
The depth finder that may be installed in your boat is a high- performance digital sonar (See Figure 7.3.1). It works only off the bottom signal and operation is completely automatic. There are no sensitivity or noise controls. All this is made possible by the computer built inside.

B.Trailering With Canvas
To trailer your boat with the cockpit cover installed, you must install a mooring cover over the cockpit cover with tie down straps tightened.
5.Horn
Since the depth finder is an automatic sonar, all you have to do is turn the power on. It will give you a water depth reading within seconds. Once it finds the bottom, the depth finder locks on to it and automatically adjusts the sensitivity and noise suppression circuits. It will track the bottom at speeds over 70 MPH.
ELECTRIC HORN
The horn is operated by a switch on the dash and is protected by a fuse under the dash. There is no maintenance required on the horn itself, although it is advisable to avoid spraying water directly into the horn.
Do not rely on the depth fider to determine a safe depth for swimming. The depth finder reads from the middle of the boat, not the back or front.
