Section 7
Performance Boating
!
Failure to maintain control can result in death or serious injury. Always keep one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the control lever. If the boat begins to operate in an unsafe way, adjust speed and course as necessary to regain control.
Your Nautique boat is a high performance boat. DO NOT be tempted to push your boat to its limits until you are completely familiar with its operating characteristics.
Nautique boats are the ones of choice of the better professional and amateur ski shows and tournaments. You may have seen drivers put their Nautique through extreme maneuvers. These drivers are paid professionals on a closed course with hundreds of hours of experience. DO NOT attempt extreme maneuvers without proper training.
We recommend that you never operate the boat without first having an initial orientation and familiarization/demonstration ride with your dealer or an operator experienced with the boat/engine combination. All boats perform differently.
The operator should have at least ten hours of experience with the boat before any full throttle operation. DO NOT operate your boat until you are completely experienced with its handling characteristics.
Propellers
Your Nautique boat is equipped with a propeller best matched to its engine and boat combination. If you feel you are experiencing poor performance, contact your Nautique dealer. Care and selection of your propeller is very important to proper boat operation.
