The material within this manual, and your Owner’s Manual Packet:

•Gives you basic safety information

•Describes the features of your boat

•Understand and follow the “Rules of the Road”

•Learn how to navigate

•Registration: In addition to the registration requirements for your boat in the state where it is used most frequently, many states require additional registration when an out-of-state boat is used within their boundaries. Contact state boating authorities or any marine dealer for registration requirements.
