A.Canvas Care and Maintenance

6.Depth Finder (Optional)

See Section 9, page 9.2, for instructions on the care and maintenance of your canvas.

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.

The depth finder that may be installed in your boat is a high- performance digital sonar. 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.

4.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.

5.Swim Platform w/ Ladder (Optional)

Your 245 Performance 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.

!DANGER

MAKE SURE ENGINE IS OFF AND PROPELLER IS STOPPED BEFORE USING BOARDING LADDER

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.

REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR INSTRUCTIONSAND WARRANTY INFORMATION ON DEPTH FINDER.
