Section 7
Correct Craft, Inc.
Performance Boating
Your Correct Craft 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.
Nautiques are the boat 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 Correct Craft boat is equipped with a propeller best matched
to its engine and boat combination. If you feel you are
experiencing poor performance, contact your Correct Craft dealer.
Care and selection of your propeller is very important to proper
boat operation.
Keep one hand on the steering wheel and
the other on the control lever at all times. If the boat
begins to operate in an unsafe way, pull back on the
control lever. Failure to maintain control could result in
severe injury or death.
