220 Sundeck® 1.1


SAFE boating means:

• Knowing the limitations of your boat;

• Following the rules of the road;

• Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objectsin the water;

• Not boating in water or weather conditions thatare beyond the boat’s and the operator’scapability;

• Never go boating when the operator is underthe influence of drugs or alcohol;

• Being aware of your passenger’s safety at alltimes; and

• Reducing speed when there is limited visibility,rough water, nearby people in the water, boats,or structures.

Boating in beautiful weather and calm waterconditions can be a wonderful experience.Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerablygreater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtainthese skills, you must:

• Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron orequivalent boating safety course. Call the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628 forinformation on available courses.

• Get hands-on training on how to operate yourboat properly.

In addition:

• Maintain your boat and its safety and othersystems as recommended in this manual.

• Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanicor dealer, at least annually.

• Ensure that the Coast Guard required safetyequipment is on board and functions. (See page1.2).

DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result insevere personal injury or death if the warning isignored.

! DANGER

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices whichCOULD result in severe personal injury or death ifthe warning is ignored.

! WARNING

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which couldresult in minor injury or product or property damageif the warning is ignored.

! CAUTION

Information which is important to proper operationor maintenance, but is not hazard-related.

NOTICE

1. SAFETY LABELS

Safety precautions are given throughout this manualand labels are mounted at key locations throughoutthe boat. This safety information advises the owner/operator and passengers of imperative safetyprecautions to follow when operating and/orservicing equipment.

• Figures 1.17.1 and 1.18.1 show the location ofthe safety labels on your boat.

• Do not remove or obstruct any safety label.

• Replace any label which becomes illegible.Replacement safety labels can be obtained bycalling your dealer or Sea Ray at 1-800-SRBOATS (international 1-314-216-3333) forinformation on how to contact the manufacturingfacility for your boat.

The meaning associated with each of the four basictypes of label is:

220 Sundeck®1.2


4. CARBON MONOXIDE

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning aredizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea andunconsciousness. A poisoning victim’s skin oftenturns cherry red. Because carbon monoxide gas(CO) is odorless, colorless and tasteless, it isunlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome.

Dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide willbe present if:

• the engine and/or generator exhaust systemsleak;

3. FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

Your boat is equipped with an automatic fireextinguisher system. Located in the enginecompartment. In the event of a fire, the heatsensitive automatic head in the engine compartmentwill release a fire-extinguishing vapor, totallyflooding the area.

There is an indicator light for the automatic fireextinguishing system next to the ignition key at thecontrol station. The light will be ON when the ignitionis on and indicates that the system is ready. If thelight goes out while the ignition is on, the systemhas discharged.

WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELYSHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWEREDVENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ANDEXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DONOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINECOMPARTMENT! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THEFIRE AND THE FIRE COULD RESTART.

Wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before openingthe engine compartment. This permits the fire-extinguishing vapor to “soak” the compartment longenough for hot metals and fuels to cool. Haveportable extinguishers at hand and ready to use incase the fire reignites. Do not breathe fumes orvapors caused by the fire.

2. LEGALLY MANDATED MINIMUM

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

Consult your national boating law enforcementagency.

The following equipment is the minimum requiredby the U.S. Coast Guard for a boat less than 26’[7.9 meters] in length.

Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s): One CoastGuard approved Type I, II or III device is mandatoryfor each person aboard. One throwable Type IVdevice is also required to be on board. A Type Vdevice is acceptable if worn for approved use. SeePage 1.5 for a description of these PFDclassifications. Always wear a PFD when boating.

Fire Extinguisher - Portable: If no fixed fireextinguishing system is installed in the engine andgenerator spaces, the U.S. Coast Guard requiresone (1) Type B-1 fire extinguisher be on board.The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)recommends that you have two (2) Type B-1 ABCfire extinguishers on board. One is to be located atthe helm station and the other in the cabin, nearthe cockpit door.

Whistle, Horn: You must have on board somemeans of making a loud sound signal, for example,whistle or horn.

Visual Distress Signals: If you operate your boatin coastal waters or on the Great Lakes, you musthave visual distress signals for day and night useon board. At least three (3) U.S. Coast Guardapproved pyrotechnic devices marked with dateshowing service life must be carried, be readilyaccessible, in serviceable condition and not expired.Store pyrotechnic signals in a well-markedwaterproof container in a dry location.

Other: Your Sea Ray is equipped with the requirednavigation lights, engine exhaust and ventilationsystems.

220 Sundeck® 1.3


Fumes from engine, generators, and other equipmentand appliances using burning fuel contain carbonmonoxide.

Carbon Monoxide can kill you.

Open all doors, curtains, windows, and hatches to letfresh air circulate, when running engine, generatoror burning any fuel when boat is anchored, mooredor docked.

! DANGER

Even in rainy cold weather ventilation must bemaintained to avoid Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Youwill get wet and/or cold.

! DANGER

Sleeping on boat requires a operating CarbonMonoxide detection system in each sleeping location.

! DANGER

5. LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT

Even strong swimmers can tire quickly in the waterand drown due to exhaustion, hypothermia, or both.The buoyancy provided by a personal flotationdevice (PFD) will allow the person who has fallenoverboard to remain afloat with far less effort andheat loss, extending survival time necessary to findand retrieve them.

Boat operators are required to carry one wearablepersonal flotation device (Type I,II,III or V) for everyperson on board. Boats must also have at least onethrowable device (Type IV).

The law requires that PFD’s must be readilyaccessible, if not worn. “Readily accessible” meansremoved from storage bags and unbuckled. But,children and nonswimmers must wear PFDs at alltimes when aboard. It is common sense to haveeveryone on board wearing PFDs. A throwabledevice must also be right at hand and ready to toss.

• insufficient fresh air is circulating where peopleare present; and

• fumes move from the rear of the boat into thecockpit and cabin area.

Figure 1.4.1 gives examples of boat operatingconditions that can lead to high concentrations ofcarbon monoxide gas.

To minimize the danger of CO accumulation whenthe engine and/or generator are running, or usingburning fuel applications.

• Be sure to have sufficient ventilation when usingcanvas or window-type side curtains whenunderway, anchored, moored or docked.

• If the convertible top is installed, operate withthe forward hatch open and leave cabin dooropen.

• Operate all burning fuel appliances, such ascharcoal, propane, LPG, CNG or alcoholcooking devices in areas where fresh air cancirculate. Do not use such devices where thereis no noticeable air movement, especially in thecabin, when anchored, moored or docked.

• Do not idle engine without moving boat for morethan 15 minutes at a time.

• Inspect the exhaust system regularly. (SeeSection 8, Required Inspection, Service andMaintenance.

If CO poisoning is suspected, have the victim breathfresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. Avictim often revives, then relapses because organsare damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediatemedical attention.

Off-Shore Life Jacket (Type I) –most buoyant, it is designed toturn an unconscious person faceup; used in all types of waterswhere rescue may be slow,particularly in cold or roughconditions.

Near-Shore Life Vest (Type II) –“keyhole” vest with flotation-filledhead and neck support is alsodesigned to turn a person face up,but the turning action is not aspronounced; used in calm, inlandwaters or where quick rescue islikely.

Flotation Aid (Type III) – vest isdesigned so conscious wearerscan turn face up; often designedfor comfort while engaged insports such as skiing.

Throwable Devices (Type IV) –horseshoe buoys, ring buoys andbuoyant cushions are designed tobe grasped, not worn.

Special-Use Devices (Type V) –sailboat harnesses, white-watervests, float coats, and hybridvests which have minimuminherent buoyancy and aninflatable chamber.

Before purchasing PFDs, ensurethat there is an attached tag indicating they areapproved by the U.S. Coast Guard or by yournational boating law enforcement agency.

Children and nonswimmers must wear PFDs atall times when aboard. All passengers and crewshould wear them. A loose PFD is often useless inan emergency.

Do not exceed the maximum engine power ratingstated on the certification plate. Your boat will bedifficult to handle and will be less stable.

Your Sea Ray® has been equipped with a propellerwhich our tests have shown to be the best suitedfor general use with our engine under normalconditions and load. Do not change the pitch of yourpropeller without getting your dealer’srecommendations first. If you change to a differentpropeller pitch, under no circumstances use apropeller which allows the engine to operate athigher than recommended RPM. (your enginemanual specifies the maximum recommended(RPM).

To maintain rated power, propellers should be freeof nicks, excessive pitting and any distortions thatalter them from their original design. Badly damagedpropellers should be replaced, but those that are

reduced if you go out in poor weather and roughwater.

The information present on the certification platedoes not relieve the operator from responsibility.Use common sense and sound judgement whenplacing equipment and/or passengers in your boat.

• Do not load to capacity in poor weather or roughwater.

• The number of seats does not indicate howmany people a boat can carry in poor weatherand rough water.

• Above idle speed, all passengers must beseated on the seats provided.

Distribute passengers and gear as uniformly aspossible from front to rear and left to right.

The manufacturer’s load rating is the maximumallowed under calm conditions.

Reduce boat loading if weather, water or otherconditions are adverse.

! WARNING

Death or serious injury can result if you fail to observethese safety rules:

• Anyone who controls the boat must havetaken a boating safety course and havetrained in the proper operation of theboat.

• Always operate the boat at speeds thatwill not put people or property in danger.

• Be constantly aware of conditions in alldirections when underway and beforeturning.

• Reduce speed, use a lookout to identifypossible hazards or difficulties, and turnon navigation lights when:

- visibility is impaired;

- in rough water; and

- in congested waterways.

• Watch your wake. It can capsize a smallboat or damage moored boats or otherproperty. You are responsible for damagecaused by your wake.

! WARNING

11. MAINTAIN CONTROL

On the water there are no marked traffic lanes, notraffic signs or lights, and boats have no turn signals.The boat operator must keep her or his attentionfocused not only on what’s ahead but what’s on theleft, right and behind the boat.

The operator must always be alert to approachingboats (from the rear, right and left sides, as well asthose ahead). There can be people in the water,partially submerged debris, and other navigationalhazards such as rocks, sand bars, dangerouscurrents, to name a few.

Your passengers are relying on you to operate andmaneuver the boat safely so that they are not indanger of going overboard. If you turn to quickly,increase or decrease speed abruptly, yourpassengers are at risk of being thrown overboardor thrown about the boat.

When visibility becomes impaired because ofweather, time of day or high bow angle you mustslow down so that you have sufficient time to reactif an emergency occurs. Nearby boats face similarrisks in avoiding a collision with you.

A. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

• Know how your boat handles under differentconditions. Recognize your limitations and theboat’s limitations. Modify speed in keeping withweather, sea and traffic conditions.

10. STABILITY

Your boat was manufactured to specific stability andflotation standards for the capacity shown on thecertification plate. Any increase from therecommended load capacities will put your boat injeopardy of capsizing, swamping and/or sinking.

IN ADDITION:

• Stability may be substantially reduced ifequipment is added above the deck.

• Stability is substantially reduced by loose fluidsor weight within the hull. Keep bilge area as dryas possible, and close all openings, hatches andwindows in rough weather.

chipped, bent or merely out of shape can bereconditioned by your marine dealer.

It is advisable to carry an extra propeller aboard incase you damage the one in use.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOAT INSEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR

GET TO SHORE BEFORETHE WEATHER TURNS BAD

! DANGER

12. WEATHER

There are four design categories of boats basedupon their ability to withstand wind and sea or waterconditions:

A. OceanWind speed: above 40 knots (46 mph)Wave height: above 4 meters (13 feet)Boat may be used for extended oceanvoyages.

B. OffshoreMaximum wind speed: 40 knots (46 mph)Maximum wave height: 4 meters (13 feet)Boat can be used offshore, but not forextended ocean voyages.

C. InshoreMaximum wind speed: 27 knots (31 mph)Maximum wave height: 2 meters (6.5 feet)Boat use is limited to coastal waters, largebays, estuaries, lakes and rivers.

D. Sheltered watersMaximum wind speed: 15 knots (18 mph)Maximum wave height: 0.5 meters (1.5 feet)Boat use is limited to small lakes, rivers andcanals.

Your 220 Sundeck® is Design Category C.

The wind speed and wave height specified as theupper limit for your category of boat does not meanthat you or your passengers can survive if your boatis exposed to these conditions. It is only the mostexperienced operators and crew that may be ableto operate a boat safely under these conditions. You

must always be aware of weather conditions andhead for port or protected waters in sufficient timeto avoid being caught in high winds and rough water.Do not take chances!

Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Badweather and/or rough sea or water conditions cancause an unsafe situation. Consult local weatherinformation, or listen to the NOAA weather reportsfor the latest weather conditions or any impendingdeterioration of the weather before setting out andwhile underway. Following are a few basic weather-related rules:

• Check the weather forecast and the waterconditions before leaving and while underway.

• A sudden change in wind direction or speed oran increase in wave height indicatesdeteriorating weather.

• Have everyone wear a personal flotation device.

• If a storm approaches, immediately seek a safeharbor.

• If a storm hits, have everyone sit in the cabin oron the cockpit deck in the boat. Head the bowinto the wind with enough power to maintainslow headway.

• If you encounter fog, determine your position,set a safe course, slow down and alert otherboats of your presence with a sound signal.

• If a lightning storm approaches, the safest actionis to dock and disembark. If you cannot returnto shore, have passengers go inside the cabinand remain there until the storm passes.

• Instruct passengers on location and use ofsafety equipment and procedures.

• Instruct passengers on the fundamentals ofoperating your boat in case you are unable todo so.

• You are responsible for passenger’s actions. Ifthey place themselves or the boat in danger,immediately correct them.

Observe the safety rules listed below.

220 Sundeck® 1.9


Shut engine off if an object is struck or if you runaground.

Check for hull leaks and drive line damage, beforerestarting engines.

Use hand pump if bilge pumps don’t remove water.

Boat very slowly, if you must proceed with a damageddrive line.

! WARNING

Hitting an object in or under the water or boating indangerous currents can cause serious injury or deathto boat occupants.

You must know where the hazards are and avoid them.

In uncharted waters, boat very slowly and post alookout.

! WARNING

Your boat can kill or injure persons in the water.

Always stay away from areas designated forswimming or diving. Unless you are towing a skier,stay away from water ski areas. Recognize markersused for such areas.

When engine is running, close and lock transom doorand do not permit anyone to use boarding ladder andswim platform.

! WARNING

14. WATER SPORTS

A. SWIMMING

• Do not permit anyone to swim from a movingboat, or a boat with an engine running.

• Many localities prohibit swimming from boatsexcept in designated areas.

• Make sure boat’s engines are turned off beforeallowing people to swim anywhere near yourboat. Shut the engine OFF and remove the keyfrom the ignition switch so that nobody willaccidentally start the engine while swimmers arenearby.

• Turn off engines when taking swimmers orskiers aboard or when they are entering thewater. Never permit use of the transom or swimplatform while engines are running.

• Slow down and look for swimmers or skierswhen cruising in an area where there might bepersons in the water.

13. CHART YOUR COURSE

To avoid boating in unsafe areas where there areunderwater obstructions, shallow water,unnavigable conditions such as dangerouscurrents, and others, you must chart a course.This means having and using the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts forcoastal waters, observing and understanding allnavigational aids, using the knowledge andguidance of experienced boaters, and being awareof the tide times where appropriate.

If you are in an unfamiliar area without knowledgeof the hazards, proceed very slowly and havesomeone watch for hazards.

Let others know where you are going. A floatplan describes your intended cruising course anditinerary, boat description, and your expected timeand date of return. Give the float plan to a friend orrelative, so they can give the information to anational boat agency, like the U.S. Coast Guard, inthe event you fail to return.

• Lightning seeks a ground when it strikes. Thebest protection is a properly grounded lightningrod placed high enough over the deck to providea protective umbrella over the hull. Dependingupon the likelyhood of your being in a lightningstorm, consult your dealer for installation of alightning rod. Stay clear of the lightning rod, allattached wiring and all metal parts of the boat.

• Stay out of the water during a lightning storm. Ifcaught swimming during a storm, get back intothe boat and remain there until the stormpasses.

B. SKIING

It is advised that you become familiar with waterskiing safety and hand signals as you will mostlikely, on occasion, find yourself in the vicinity of orengaging in water skiing activity.

• Anyone who water skis must know how to swim.

• Never drive the boat directly behind a waterskier. At 22 knots (25 m.p.h.), it takes only 5seconds to overtake a fallen skier who was 60meters (200 feet) in front.

• Keep a downed skier in sight and on theoperator’s side of the boat when approachingthe skier. Never back up to anyone in the water.

• Learn the signals to communicate with a skier.The skier is to control the boat through handsignals (Fig. 1.10.1).

Turn – Arm raised, circle with index fingerextended.

Skier in Water – Extend one ski vertically outof water.

Back to Dock – Pat top of head.

Cut Motor – Draw finger across throat.

Slow Down – Thumb pointed down or palmdown, move hand up and down.

Faster – Thumb pointed up or palm up, movehand up and down.

OK – Raise arm and form a circle with thumband index finger.

Stop – Raise arm with palm vertical andfacing forward.

Turn Right – Extend arm out from body tothe right.

Turn Left – Extend arm out from body tothe left.

OK After a Fall – Clasp hands togetheroverhead.

• If the skier suddenly releases the tow rope, itcan backlash into cockpit. Spotters who arewatching the skier must be aware of this factand be prepared to deflect the rope by hand toavoid injury.

220 Sundeck® 1.11


All boaters have a legal obligation to help otherboaters who are in distress, as long as renderingassistance does not endanger you, your passengersor your boat.

ASSISTING OTHER BOATERS

C. FIRE

Fire is a serious boating hazard. Boats will burnquickly. Do not remain on board and fight a fire formore than a few minutes. If the fire cannot beextinguished within a few minutes, abandon theboat.

Have fire extinguishers handy. A small fire can beextinguished quickly with the right size and type offire extinguisher.

• Extinguish smoking materials, shut off blowers,stoves, engines and generators.

15. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Prevention is the safest approach. We hope thatyou are never involved in an emergency situation.

If you are involved in an emergency situation, it isimperative that you know how to react, in order toprotect the lives in your care.

A. MEDICAL EMERGENCY

You may be far from professional medical help whenyou are boating. At least two people on board yourboat should be CPR certified, and should havetaken a first aid course. Equip your boat with a firstaid kit.

B. WATER RESCUE

A person who has fallen overboard will die fromhypothermia in water temperatures below 70oF ifnot rescued quickly. Water rescue consists of threesteps: returning to the victim, making contact withthe victim, and getting the victim back on board.

RETURNING TO THE VICTIM

• Immediately make everyone aware of theincident and keep the victim in sight.

• Slow the boat and keep pointing toward theperson overboard. At night, direct the bestavailable light source at the person.

• Throw a life preserver, even if the person iswearing a PFD. It will serve as another marker.

MAKING CONTACT

• Stop or slow the boat and circle toward thevictim.

• Try to approach heading into the wind or intothe waves.

• Keep the victim constantly in sight.

• When almost alongside, stop the engine in gearto prevent propeller “windmilling.”

GETTING BACK ABOARD

• Try to reach the victim with a pole, or by throwinga life preserver. Do not swim to rescue thevictim, except as a last resort.

• Assist the person in boarding the boat. Theperson should normally be brought in over thestern.

• If the person is injured or cannot get into theboat, a rescuer should put on a PFD with asafety line attached to the boat and enter thewater to assist the victim.

• Handle the victim with care. Spinal injuries mayhave occurred.

IN GENERAL

When engaged in water sports, be safe andcourteous to others sharing the water:

• Be considerate to fishermen.

• Do not water ski in congested areas.

• Keep the boat and skier away from navigationmarkers.

• Stay well clear of other boats and skiers.

220 Sundeck®1.12


F. GROUNDING

In the event of running aground:

• Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop theintake of water before attempting to get the boatfree.

• Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion andsteering systems.

• Determine if the tide, wind and current will drivethe boat harder aground or will help to free it.

• Determine the water depth all around the boat,and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.).If it can be done without exposing persons torisk of injury, the boat should be moved awayfrom hard obstructions and toward open waterwith soft ground.

• Do not attempt to have your boat towed by otherthan a trained and competent service, such asthe Coast Guard or a salvage company.Recreational craft are not designed to tow otherrecreational craft.

G. PROPULSION, CONTROL OR STEERING

FAILURE:

If the drive train fails, or controls or steering do notrespond properly at all:

• Shut off engine.

• Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.

D. FLOODING, SWAMPING AND CAPSIZING

In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing:

• Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers,before leaving the boat.

• Have everyone put on Personal FlotationDevices (PFD’s).

• Account for all who were on board.

• If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hangon, or climb on the boat and signal for help.

• Only as a last resort should you attempt to swimto shore - it is further away than it looks andyou can tire and drown.

E. COLLISIONS AND LEAKING

In the event of collision and leaking:

• Slow down or stop to reduce water intake,unless maintaining speed will keep the holeabove water.

• Switch on bilge pumps.

• If equipped, operate the manual bilge pump ifthe powered bilge pumps can’t handle the waterflow.

• Account for everyone on board and check forinjurys.

• Have everyone put on PFDs.

• Stay with the boat.

• Signal for help.

• If a leak patch is attempted, it should be donefrom the outside.

• In the event of a collision, you are required tofile an accident report. Contact a stateenforcement agency or the nearest CoastGuard office. If you are boating outside of U.S.waters, consult the nation you are visiting foraccident reporting requirements.

• Throw burning materials overboard, if possible.

• If the fire is accessible, empty the contents offire extinguishers at the base of the fire.

• If the fire is in the engine compartment and youhave an automatic extinguisher for the engine,wait 15 minutes before opening thecompartment. Have a portable extinguisherready in case the fire flares up.

• Signal for help.

• Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put onPFDs. Prepare to abandon ship.

B. POWER TRIM UNIT AND GAUGE

The Power Trim allows the operator to raise andlower the stern drive unit while underway to providethe ideal boat angle (in relation to water surface)for a given load and water condition (Figure 2.8.1).

Trimming UP rotates the stern drive and propelleraway from the transom. Trimming DOWN rotatesthe stern drive and propeller closer to the transom.

When the stern drive is trimmed DOWN, the bowof the boat is being forced down. If the trim is in thefull DOWN position when accelerating from idle toplane, the boat will plane faster with less bow rise.Once on plane, the stern drive unit can be trimmedUP slightly. This will raise the bow of the boat slightlyand increase speed. You will need to try smalldifferences in the stern drive position to determinethe trim position you prefer under various conditions.

9. DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR

CONTROLS

A. GEAR SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROL

The shift/throttle control unit for the engine activatesby the shifting mechanism and the throttle. Thecontrol must be in neutral position to start yourengine. Moving the lever forward first engages theforward gear. Further forward movement increasesengine speed and propeller RPM, moving the boatfaster. To shift to reverse, bring the control leverback to the neutral position, then move it furtherback to engage the reverse gear. Further rearwardmovement of the lever increases engine speed andpropeller RPM, moving the boat faster in reverse.

Shift/throttle controls are equipped with a “throttleonly” mechanism which allows the shift mechanismto be disengaged from the throttle. This allows thethrottle to be advanced without shifting thetransmission when starting. It may be necessary touse the “throttle only” button in order to pump fuelinto the engine for ease in starting.

The “Throttle Only” mechanism may differ from onestyle gear/throttle unit to another. Refer to your GearShift & Throttle Manual for proper operation of thisfeature.

The throttle control adjusts the RPM of the engineand thus, the rotational speed of the propeller.Regulating the RPM of the engine controls thespeed of the boat.

Forward motion creates forward moving watercalled a “following” wake. If the boat is movingforward and the shift/throttle is moved quickly fromforward to reverse, the boat will stop rapidly andthen move backward. The following wake continuesto move forward and can rise above the transomand flood the boat.

Do not shift into reverse to quickly. Wait for thefollowing wake to dissapate.

220 Sundeck®2.8


EFFECTS OF POWER TRIM(FIG. 2.8.1)

Use transom-mounted power trim switch to tilt fortrailering only. Tilting drive unit into trailering zonewhile underway can damage the drive unit or engine.

! CAUTION

TRANSOM TRAILER TRIM SWITCH (OPTIONAL)(FIG. 2.8.2)

E. IGNITION SHUTDOWN SWITCH

(STANDARD ON SIDE MOUNT CONTROLS)

The purpose of the ignition shutdown switch (Figure2.9.1) is to shut down the engine, if the operatorunintentionally leaves the helm. Situations in whichthis could occur are rough water, bad weather andother adverse boating conditions. In thesesituations, the safety of the boat and its passengersis enhanced by using the ignition shutdown switch,

C. TRAILER SWITCH

The trailer switch (power trim switch) is not to beconfused with the power trim function. The trailerswitch is to be used only when the engine is OFF.

The trailer switch allows the drive unit to be raisedfor trailering, beaching and launching. To operate,press and hold the trailer switch until the drive unitreaches the end of upward travel. The mechanism

that raises the lower unit will stop operating at theend of the upward travel. To bring the drive unitdown into boating position, push the power trimswitch down.

D. TRANSOM TRAILER TRIM SWITCH

(OPTIONAL)

A transom-mounted power trim switch is availablefor the convenience of raising the drive unit to theTRAILERING position while at the rear of the boat.

If you raise the stern drive up to far while you areon plane, you could cause a loss of speed andpower due to condition called propeller “ventilation.”If this happens, there will be a sudden increase inengine RPM and loss of speed. Do not let thiscondition exist. Immediately reduce your engineRPM and trim the outdrive DOWN slightly untilengine slows down and you regain forward speed.

The trim gauge indicates the position of the sterndrive relative to the transom.

However, unintentional engine shutdown may resultin unintentional harm. For example, a passengermay lose balance and fall, or control could be lostduring docking. No specific guidelines can be givenfor switch use. The ultimate decision of when touse an ignition shutdown switch, rests with theoperator or owner.

When the switch is used, the operator must securelyclip the lanyard to their belt or clothing so that if theoperator falls overboard or into the boat, the switchis activated and the engine shuts down.

To reset the ignition shutdown switch after it hasbeen activated, simply reinstall the switch clip abovethe shutoff switch and flip the switch to the UPposition.

11. NAVIGATION AND ANCHOR LIGHTS

Navigation lights MUST be on while underway fromsunset to sunrise or in conditions of reducedvisibility. “Underway” means the boat is not dockedor at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine off isconsidered “underway” and navigation lights mustbe used.

If you are anchored in open water, (where otherboats can approach yours), you must display youranchor light (Figure 2.11.1): a white light that canbe seen from all possible directions, (360 degrees).

Read the “Federal Requirements and Safety Tipsfor Recreational Boats” provided in your kit.

B. TACHOMETER

The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute(RPM) of the engine. (It does not indicate the speedof the boat.) Your Engine Operator’s Manualindicates the maximum full throttle RPM at whichyour engine should operate. This must not beexceeded or serious engine damage will occur. Thetachometer should also be used to determine themost comfortable and economical cruising RPM.

C. OIL PRESSURE, WATER TEMPERATURE

AND FUEL GAUGES

These gauges function on your boat the same waythey do on your car or truck. You must continuallycheck these gauges visually(See figure 2.5.1) tomake certain there are no engine system problemseven if your boat engine has an alarm system.

D. MAGNETIC COMPASS (OPTIONAL)

If equipped, your compass (See Figure 2.5.1),properly corrected, will indicate magnetic North (nottrue North). A compass must be adjusted by aqualified person. The reason for this is that nearbyinstruments or objects containing magnets orcurrent-carrying electrical wires will influence thecompass reading. This is especially true if you addelectronic devices to the helm station.

After your compass has been professionallyadjusted. You will be given a deviation card or chartindicating the correction to be applied when layingout a compass course or making navigationalcalculations. Keep this correction card or chartat the helm.

NOTE: The compass adjustment is only good forthe equipment arrangement that existed at the timeof the adjustment. If you place different equipmentor remove equipment from the vicinity of thecompass, you cannot rely on the compass reading.The compass must be readjusted by a qualifiedperson after equipment is added or removed fromthe vicinity of the compass.

NOTE: The compass roses shown on navigationalcharts have both true North and magnetic Northdirections superimposed. Make certain you plotcourse compass directions from the magnetic Northcompass rose.

When not in use, the compass should be protectedfrom excessive and prolonged sunlight. If yourcompass becomes sluggish or erratic, it should beserviced by an authorized repair station.

To keep the plexiglass dome free from scratches,remove salt deposits and dust with a damp cloth.An occasional treatment with paste wax will helppreserve the dome surface.

7. STARTING THE ENGINES

The engine operation and maintenance manualfurnished with your boat describes pre-start andstarting procedures. We urge you to thoroughly readand understand your engine manual.

Listed below are basic pre-start and startingreminders. These are not a substitute for the enginemanufacturer’s specific recommendations.

Open the engine compartment and check for thesmell of gasoline.

• IF YOU SMELL GASOLINE, get everyone offthe boat, do not operate any electrical switchesor light any matches, lighters, etc. Get trainedhelp to find and fix the problem, before startingthe engine or operating any switches on theboat.

• If you DO NOT smell gasoline.

1. Check all fluid levels and any other necessarychecks as specified in Section 8 and in theengine manual.

2. Check that water level in bilge is minimal. Verifythat the bilge pump is operating by turning thebilge pump switch to MANUAL and listening forthe pump running and check to see that bilgewater is being pumped overboard.

6. PASSENGER INSTRUCTION AND

LOCATION

• Everyone on board must be told about the boat’sbehavior from starting to getting up on plane.

• Before the operator does any high-speedmaneuvers or rapidly accelerates or deceleratesthe boat, passengers must be warned to sit andhold on and must heed the warning.

• The operator may have to make rapid changesin speed and/or direction to avoid a problem,with little or no time for alerting passengers. Itis critical that all passengers be seated in thedesignated seating areas and holding on toprevent falling overboard or getting knockedabout in the boat at all times when the boat isunderway.

5. PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES

(PFD’S)

• Operator must instruct all passengers onlocation and use of PFD’s (See Section 1-Safety, for type and usage).

• Children less than sixteen (16) years of age andall non-swimmers, adults as well as children,must wear properly-sized PFDs at all timeswhen aboard.

• ALL passengers should wear PFDs. By the timesomeone falls overboard, it can be to late forthem to put on a PFD and fasten it properly.This is especially true in colder waters, below70oF, where survival time, before hypothermiasets in, is measured in minutes.

• If there are passengers not wearing PFDs, thePFDs must be readily accessible. “Readilyaccessible” means out of the storage bag andunbuckled.

• All throwable flotation devices (cushions, rings,etc.) must be right at hand.

accessible, but everything is to be stored inplaces so as to prevent it from flying about ifthe boat encounters rough water or weather.

5. Run bilge blowers for atleast 4 minutes beforeattempting to start engine.

Unlike your automobileengine which is naturallyventilated even when it isnot moving, your boatengine compartment (thebilge) does not have sufficient natural ventilationwhen the boat is not moving or moving slowly.That is why the engine compartment must haveforced ventilation, using the bilge blower, toremove potentially explosive gasoline vapors,before the engine is started and when the boatis moving slowly.

Because it may be difficult to remember to turnon the bilge blower every time you slow downthe boat, it is recommended that the bilge blowerrun all the time the engine is running.

1. BILGE

A. FUEL & OIL SPILLAGE

Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily wastein navigable waters. Discharge is defined as anyaction which causes a film, sheen or discolorationon the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsionbeneath the water surface. A common violation isbilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak upfuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore.If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact aknowledgeable marine service to remove it. Neverpump contaminated bilge overboard.

Fill fuel tank less than rated capacity. Allow for fuelexpansion.

B. DRAIN PLUG

The bottom of the engine compartment is called the“bilge”. It is the lowest and inner part of the hull.Water and other liquids will collect here.

After removing your boat from the water, unthreadthe drain plug to drain the bilge.

DRAIN PLUG(FIG. 4.1.1)

C. BILGE PUMP

A bilge pump and float switch are located in thebottom of the bilge. The bilge pump is activatedmanually from the switch panel located on the helmand automatically from the float switch located inthe bilge.

SINKING HAZARD – Ensure the bilge pumps areoperating properly.

! WARNING

Run bilge pumps in the manual position only aslong as necessary to remove water. Running bilgepumps dry can damage the pump motor.

! CAUTION

! DANGER

Install and tighten drain plug before launching boat.

Boat will sink if drain plug is not in place and tight.

Before starting the engine, press the bilge pumpswitch so that the switch light comes ON. Make surethe pump is working by opening the enginecompartment, listening to hear the pump runningand check to see that liquid is being pumped outfrom the hull discharge (See Fig. 2.6.1). If the bilgehas more liquid than normal, see MaintenanceSection for locating and correcting the problem.

Except for checking the operation of the bilge pumpusing the ON position, leave the switch in the OFF(AUTO) position. In the OFF (AUTO) position, whenthe bilge liquid is deep enough to activate the floatswitch, the bilge pump turns on and pumps out thebilge liquid until the float switch drops and shuts offthe pump.

If the liquid level in the bilge is higher thannormal and the bilge pump empties the bilgewhen you use the ON switch, the fuse for theautomatic bilge pump circuit has blown or thefloat switch is not operating properly. Have itchecked immediately. If the ON switch does notoperate the pump, DO NOT use the boat untilthe problem is corrected.

The manual bilge pump circuit is protected by a fuseon the accessory fuse block located behind thecontrol station (See Fig. 6.4.1). The automatic bilgepump circuit is protected by a fuse located belowthe aft port seat cushion (See Fig. 6.4.2)

1. BILGE PUMP MAINTENANCE

Frequently inspect the area under the float switchesto ensure they are free from debris and gummy bilgeoil. To clean, soak in heavy duty bilge cleaner for10 minutes, agitating several times. Check forunrestricted operation of the float. Repeat thecleaning procedure if necessary.

Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep themfree of dirt or material which may impede theflow of water through the pump. To clean thepump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sidesof the pump and lift the pump motor.

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD – Run blower at leastfour (4) minutes before starting engine or generator.Check bilge and engine compartment for fumes.

! WARNING

Do not allow obstructions to interfere with bilgeblower or ventilation intake operation. Engineperformance may be adversely affected.

! WARNING

220 Sundeck® 4.3


To prevent buildup of gasoline fumes to theexplosive level in the engine compartment, thebilge blower must be run for at least four (4)minutes before starting the engine and keptrunning at all times when the engine is running toinsure that there will be adequate ventilation whenyou are moving slowly.

The bilge blower is protected by a fuse on theaccessory fuse block located under the controlstation (See Fig. 6.4.1).

E. ENGINES AND STERN DRIVE

1. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Engine failure away from shore can bedangerous. You must follow the recommendedmaintenance schedule to best ensure trouble-freeoperation of your engine and stern drive.

2. VIBRATION & CAUSES

Some vibration is to be expected in your boatbecause of the action of the engines and thepropeller. But excessive vibration indicatesconditions which must be promptly corrected toavoid damage. The following are some conditionswhich may cause vibrations.

• Weeds, ropes, fishing lines, nets or your owntrailing lines can become wrapped around thepropeller and/or shaft, causing vibration and lossof speed. Always stop the boat, make sure it isclear to the rear, and then reverse the propellerafter going through a weedy area to unwrap andclear away any weeds which may haveaccumulated. If this doesn’t clear theentanglement, and you can’t anchor or moor theboat in shallow water to get to the stern drive inthe water, the boat will have to be taken out ofthe water.

• A badly damaged or distorted propeller or shaftis an obvious cause of vibration. Run at slowspeed to shore. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY.

• If the engine mounts fail and the engine cancontact the hull while it is running, vibration will

be felt. Run at slow speed to shore. REPLACEIMMEDIATELY.

3. IMPACT TO STERN DRIVE

The stern drive can be damaged by impact, eitherwhile trailering or boating. To minimize thepossibility of impact damage while trailering, keepthe stern drive raised to the trailering position.

The hydraulic system used to raise and lower thestern drive can cushion impact and lessen damagefrom head-on impacts to the stern drive fromunderwater objects BUT ONLY when the boat ismoving forward. There is no protection if the sterndrive is struck during reverse operation or from anangle when moving forward.

If you strike a submerged object, STOP THEENGINE as soon as possible and examine the sterndrive unit for damage. Even if no damage is visible,there could be internal problems or difficultymaneuvering. If you must use the boat after impact,run at the lowest speed possible.

If engine is started during propeller maintenance,serious personal injury can occur.

Shut off engine, remove key, shift into neutral, andput tape over ignition switch key slot.

1. FUEL SYSTEM

Section 3 - Using Your Boat contains importantfueling information. Take time to read all the fuelrelated information in the owner’s manual.

The 220 Sundeck® standard gasoline fuel systemconsists of a 50 gallon (189 Liters) fuel tank, fueltank vent, an electric fuel valve, engine fuel supplyline and fuel fill.

The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure/vacuumrelease and safety overflow. The fuel vent is locatedinside the fuel cap on the port side of the hull.Periodically check the vent to assure it is not clogged.

The gasoline engine fuel pick-up at the fuel tankhas an electric fuel valve to prevent fuel fromsiphoning out in the event of fuel line failure.

A. ELECTRIC FUEL VALVE

An electric fuel valve is installed on your boat. Thefuel valve is located in-line on the fuel hose betweenthe fuel tank and the engine or generator. The valveis wired to the ignition switch. When the ignition isturned ON, the valve opens; when the ignition is

turned OFF, the valve closes. The manual overrideknob on the side of the valve should be left in theOFF position at all times.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, the valvecan be opened and closed manually by turning themanual override knob.

Never start an engine until you are certain that fuelfumes are not present in the engine compartmentor elsewhere in the boat.

! CAUTION

2. FUELING PRECAUTIONS

Certain precautions must be carefully andcompletely observed every time a boat is fueled.See figure 5.1.1 for fuel fill cap location.

A. GENERAL:

• Fuel during daylight.

• Check fill plate label to ensure fuel is placedonly in fuel tank. The fuel fill plate is located onthe aft port hull.

• Avoid spills.

• Know your fuel capacity and consumption.Record the amount of fuel used since your lastfill up, and compute the engine’s hourly fuelusage. As a fuel gauge backup check, deductthe average hourly fuel usage from fuel tankcapacity.

• Observe the “Rule of Thirds”: one-third fuel fortrip out, one-third for return and one-third forreserve.

• Allow an additional 15 percent fuel reserve whenoperating in rough seas.

B. BEFORE & DURING FUELING – CHECKLIST:

• Fire extinguisher – close at hand.

• Mooring – boat tied securely to fueling pier.

• Crew – at least one knowledgeable personpresent.

• Passengers – unnecessary people off the boat.

• Engines – stopped.

• Electrical equipment, including blowers – poweroff.

• Smoking material – extinguished.

• Inboard tanks – grounded.

• Filler pipe – marked GAS.

• Fuel nozzle – in contact with filler pipe to preventstatic sparks.

• Fill level – fill less than rated capacity of tank;allow for fuel expansion.

• Trim – fuel weight distributed equally.

C. AFTER FUELING – CHECKLIST:

• Sniff test – if fuel fumes remain in engine box,operate blowers until fumes are gone.

• Fuel tank – secure filler cap.

• Spills – wipe; dispose of rags ashore.

220 Sundeck® 6.1


1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

A. DIRECT CURRENT (DC)

The 12 volt direct current (DC) electrical system(similar to that in your car or truck) derives it’s powerfrom the battery. (Your boat may have two batteriesif you choose that option.) An engine-drivenalternator keeps the battery in a charged condition.The battery voltage is indicated by the voltmeter onthe helm panel. The negative terminal of the batteryis attached to the grounding studs of the engine.

Ask your dealer for a careful analysis of DC powerneeds on your boat. It may be necessary to addbatteries or auxiliary charging methods to supplyadequate power for any additional accessories youwish to add.

BATTERIES

The battery installed in your boat has been selectedfor it’s ability to furnish starting power based onengine starting requirements, as well as it’s abilityto power the DC accessories attached to theelectrical system. Your Engine Owner’s Manualindicates the recommended battery for the engineinstalled in your boat.

To remove the battery cables:

1. Turn off all items drawing power from thebattery.

2. Turn the battery switch to the OFF position(Battery switch is optional equipment on somemodels).

3. Remove the negative cable first, then the positivecable. To replace the cables, first replace thepositive cable, then the negative.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

• Check the fluid levels in the cells approximatelyevery 4 weeks, and weekly in summer and hotzones.

• The fluid level must be between the lower andupper markings.

• Replenish only with distilled water. Do not usemetal funnel.

• Coat battery terminal clamps with siliconegrease. Keep batteries clean and dry.

Battery life is shortened if it is drained to zero chargebefore recharging. It is recommended that a batterynot be discharged more than 50 percent. If thebattery does become run down, recharge it as soonas posssible.

Running the engine to recharge the battery may notbe effective. The alternator only creates chargingpower at higher engine speeds, so simply idling ortrolling will not generate enough power to rechargethe battery.

If you need to charge a battery, use only a batterycharger designed to charge automotive/marinebatteries. Use charger only when batteries aredisconnected from the boat’s electrical circuit. Followthe charger instructions.

If your boat will not be used for several weeks ormore, remove the batteries from the boat andconnect them to a charger.

DO NOT USE JUMPER CABLES IN THEENGINE COMPARTMENT.

They can cause an explosion from sparks.

! DANGER

A battery will explode if a flame or sparkignites the free hydrogen given off duringcharging.

Never use an open flame or strike sparksin the battery area.

! DANGER

To prevent arcing or damage to the alternator,always disconnect battery cables before doing anywork on the engine’s electrical system.

! DANGER

Use ONLY Marine-rated parts to replace such itemsas starters, distributors, alternators, generators, etc.

Do not use automotive parts for these componentsor any jumper cables because they are not ignition-protected and could cause a fire or explosion.

2. IGNITION PROTECTION

All electrical components in the engine compartmentmust be ignition-protected to avoid the possibilityof creating sparks in a gasoline environment.

Protective terminal covers, such as rubber bootson electrical connections, must be in place whenengine is operating or when working in the enginecompartment.

Jumper cables are not ignition-protected. DO NOTUSE jumper cables in the engine compartment. Theengine compartment may accumulate dangerousexplosive gasoline fumes/vapors and hydrogen gasfrom batteries being charged. A spark producedwhen connecting a jumper cable can cause anexplosion.

B. BATTERY SWITCH (OPTIONAL)

The optional battery switch controls the delivery ofDC power from the batteries to the engine and allequipment, lights and accessories using DC power.The battery switch is located below the aft portcockpit seat.

NOTE: The bilge pump and stereo memory are notshut off by the battery switch. This is to permit thebilge pump to operate at any time excess fluidaccumulates in the bilge, which can occur whenthe boat is docked and unattended. The entireremaining DC system is turned off with the batteryswitch.

6. ELECTROLYTIC CORROSION AND

ZINC ANODES

Electrolytic corrosion of metals on power boats canresult in rapid and serious deterioration of metalparts. You must set a regular schedule and look forthe possibility of electrolytic corrosion (thedeterioration of metals due to dissimilarcharacteristics when placed in salt water). It is yourresponsibility to check for and replace partsdamaged due to electrolytic corrosion.

To minimize electrolytic corrosion of the metals onyour boat, zinc anode plates are provided to protectunderwater hardware. Zinc, being much less “noble”than the copper-based alloys and aluminum usedin underwater fittings, will deteriorate first andprotect the other metals.

Stern drives are fitted with zinc anodes on theirlower units (refer to your Engine Owner’s Manualfor their locations).

7. ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS

The following electrical schematics weregenerated by electrical CAD designers at theengineering division for technical reference andservice technicians. Sea Ray® does notrecommend that you attempt to work on the boat’selectrical system yourself. Instead we recommendthat you take your boat to your authorized SeaRay® dealer for service. Sea Ray® reserves theright to change or update the electrical systemon any model at any time without notice to theconsumer and is NOT obligated to make anyupdates to units built prior to changes.

Zinc anodes require replacement about every sixmonths if the boat is operated in salt water. In freshwater, the zinc anodes can be replaced about oncea year.

If the anodes deteriorate more rapidly than this,there is probably a stray current problem within theboat or at the slip or mooring.

If the anodes do not deteriorate, they are notprotecting the other metallic parts of your boat. Thiscan be caused by loose anodes or by low gradezinc or by not having a solid electrical contactbetween the anode and the metal it contacts, or bypaint on the anode.

If the anodes are deteriorating rapidly, or not at all,contact your dealer.

MAINTENANCE

Routine inspection, service and maintenance of yourboat’s systems are vital to assure your safety, aswell as for prolonging the life of your boat. You shoulddevelop regular routines for inspecting your boat.The chart below summarizes inspection, service andmaintenance activities. This section also containsdescriptions of some convenient methods forevaluating the condition of some of your boat’ssystems.

The interval between necessary service ormaintenance is highly variable, depending on theenvironment your boat is in, and on the severity ofoperating conditions. For example, corrosion of partson boats operated in salt water proceeds muchfaster than the corrosion of parts on a boat operatedin fresh water. The intervals listed below arerecommended maximums, and you must reduce thetime between inspections if your observationsindicate the need.

MAINTENANCE

2. INSPECTION, SERVICE AND

MAINTENANCE PROTOCOL

A. BILGE AREA

Many of your boat’s systems have critical featureslocated in the bilge area. A thorough and organizedinspection of the bilge area will address many ofthese critical features. For example, engine oil leaksand fuel system leaks will show themselves ascontamination on the surface of the liquid thatremains in the bilge. When you see suchcontamination, you should look for its source.

Once or twice a year, pump the bilge areas dry andremove all loose dirt. Be sure that all the limberholes are open. Limber holes are the openings inthe stringers that allow water to flow from theoutboard areas of the bilge to the bilge sump.

Check the bilge pump float switch by moving itmanually. (Figure 4.1.2) The bilge pump should startwhen the float switch is raised and should stopwhen lowered. If it does not, first replace the fuse,if the pump will still not run replace the float switchbefore using your boat. The float switch should alsomove freely without sticking, if it does not, have itserviced or replaced before boating.

If permanently moored in salt water or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth onits bottom. This will detract from the boat’sbeauty and greatly affect its performance. Thereare two methods of preventing this:

• Periodically haul the boat out of the waterand scrub the bottom with a bristle brushand a solution of soap and water.

• Paint the hull below the waterline with agood grade of antifouling paint. DO NOTpaint the engine drive surfaces.

NOTE: There are EPA regulations regardingbottom paint application. Consult your Sea Ray®

dealer for proper application methods.

5. CARE FOR BOTTOM PAINT

From time to time a slight algae or slime formson all vessels. The bottom painted portion ofthe hull can be wiped off with a coarse turkishtowel or a piece of old rug while the boat is inthe water. Do not use a stiff or abrasive materialto clean the bottom paint.

The bottom paint should be inspected annually. Ifit needs repainting consult your Sea Ray® dealer.

6. TOPSIDE AREAS

A. STAINLESS STEEL AND ALLOY FITTINGS

Stainless steel and alloy fittings should be cleanedwith soap and water or household glass cleaner.Remove rust spots as soon as possible with a brass,silver or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting willdevelop under rust that remains for any period oftime. Never use an abrasive like sandpaper or steelwool on stainless. These may actually cause rust.To help protect the stainless, we recommend theuse of a good car wax.

B. SALT CRYSTALS

When instruments are exposed to a saltwaterenvironment, salt crystals may form on the bezeland the plastic covers. These salt crystals shouldbe removed with a soft, damp cloth; never useabrasives or rough, dirty cloths to wipe plastic parts.Mild household detergents or plastic cleaners canbe used to keep the instruments bright and clean.

7. ACRYLIC PLASTIC SHEETING

(PLASTIC GLASS)

Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaningsolutions on acrylic.

To clean acrylic, first flood it with water to wash offas much dirt as possible. Next, use your bare hand,with plenty of water, to feel and dislodge any cakeddirt or mud. A soft, grit-free cloth may then be usedwith a nonabrasive soap or detergent. A soft sponge,kept clean for this purpose, is excellent. Blot drywith a clean damp chamois.

Grease and oil may be removed from acrylic withkerosene, hexane, white (not aviation or ethyl)gasoline or aliphatic naphtha (no aromatic content).

Do not use solvents such as acetone, siliconespray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fireextinguisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid or lacquerthinner on acrylic, since they attack the surface.

Remove fine scratches with fine automotive acrylicrubbing and polishing compounds.

8. CANVAS AND CLEAR VINYL

Do not fold or store any of the canvas pieces whilewet. All canvas should be rolled or folded when dry andstored in a clean, dry place. For clear vinyl pieces, therecommended methods for storage are rolling or laying

down flat. The clear vinyl should never be folded orcreased as cracking will result. To protect the clear vinylfrom rubbing against itself while rolled or stored flat,place a piece of very soft, nonabrasive cloth betweenthe pieces. If the surface of the clear vinyl becomesscratched, the canvas manufacturer has provided acanvas care sheet located in your Owner’s ManualPacket. When storing the rear (aft) curtain, fold thecanvas over the clear vinyl window (do not fold clearvinyl), then roll or store flat.

The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substancessuch as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to accumulate onand become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can becleaned without being removed from the installation.Simply brush off any loose dirt, particles, etc.; hose downand clean with a mild solution of a natural soap inlukewarm water (no more than 100oF, 38oC); rinsethoroughly to remove soap. DO NOT USEDETERGENTS. Allow to completely dry.

Wash and clean vinyl windows with a warm soapsolution. Use a soft cloth or sponge and do not scratchthe surface.

If you have stubborn cleaning cases, call your dealer forproper procedures. Do not try your own cleaningprocedures as they may permanently damage thecanvas.

After each use, especially in salt water areas, rinse thecanvas completely with fresh cold water. Then let thecanvas dry completely before stowing.

All metal components of the canvas should be rinsedwith fresh cold water and exposed components wipeddry to maintain appearance and working order.

9. EXTERIOR UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

Exterior fabrics should be cleaned with a sponge or verysoft scrub brush and a mild soap and warm watersolution. After scrubbing, rinse with plenty of cold, cleanwater and allow the fabric to air dry in a well ventilatedplace, preferrably away from direct sunlight.

Mildew can occur if your boat does not have adequateventilation. Heat alone will not prevent mildew; you mustalso provide for fresh air circulation.
