Section 1 • Safety

8.Load Capacity

A.United States

Use common sense and sound judgement when placing equipment and/or passengers in your boat. The number of people on board must be reduced if you go out in poor weather and rough water.

The number of seats does not indicate how many people a boat can carry in poor weather and rough water

Above idle speed, all passengers must be seated on the seats provided.

The United States Coast Guard does not provide specific numbers for passenger capacity or cargo weight for recreational vessels larger than 20 feet (6.09 meters). For safety sake, use the following information provided for the international loading standards for maximum number of passengers plus cargo weight.

B.International

The certification plate (Fig. 1.6.1) located near the helm indicates maximum weight and number of persons your boat can handle under calm sea conditions. Do not exceed the load capacities stated. The number of people on board must be reduced if you go out in poor weather and rough water. Above idle speed, all passengers must be seated on the seats provided.

9.Power Capacity

!WARNING

When engine is running, keep passengers away from areas not designed for riding, such as seat backs, bow, gunwales, transom platform, front and rear decks and on sun pads.

Passengers can fall overboard if not seated properly on the seats provided.

!DANGER

Never carry more weight or passengers than indicated on the certification plate, regardless of weather or water conditions.

The boat can capsize, swamp or sink.

Your boat's engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service. Installing a different engine or other accessories may cause unwanted handling characteristics. Should you choose to install a different engine, or to add accessories that will affect the boat's running trim, have an experienced marine technician perform a safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again. Certain modifications to your boat will result in cancellation of your warranty protection. Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.

10.Propellers

Your Baja© has been equipped with propellers which our tests have shown to be the best suited for general use with our engine under normal conditions and load. Do not change the pitch of your propellers without getting your dealer's recommendations first. If you change to a different propeller pitch, under no circumstances use propellers which allow the engine to operate at higher than recommended RPM. (Your engine manual specifies the maximum recommended RPM).
