Product Improvement

Because of our policy of continuous product improvement, the illustrations used in this manual may not look the same as on your boat and are intended only as representative reference views. Some illustrations may also show optional accessories which may or may not be available for your boat. Many optional accessories can only be installed at the time the boat is manufactured and cannot be installed by your dealer. Your dealer will be happy to provide details on installing accessories.
