DANGER

See Section 9, page 9.2, for instructions on the care

and maintenance of your canvas.

 

 

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.

!DANGER

In rainy and/or cold weather, fresh air must circulate through boat to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide, for more details.

!DANGER

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.

3.Horn

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. Check periodically to ensure that horn is still operational.

4.Depth Finder (Optional)

If the cockpit is totally enclosed with canvas covers and curtains while engine is running or boat is moving, carbon monoxide will build up and cause death or permanent injury.

Do not use the rear (aft) curtain or camper top while engine is running or boat is moving.

Bimini Top or sunshade must not be used when the vessel speed exceeds 45 MPH. Damage to boat or bimini may occur.

The depth finder that may be installed in your boat is a high- performance digital sonar (See Figure 7.2.1). 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.

DEPTH

0.00

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.

For safety and ease of installation and removal of canvas, use at least two people.

The following canvas options are available for the

230 Sportfish:

•Cockpit Cover

•Mooring Cover

•Trailering Cover

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.

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.
