Fuel Systems 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Testing The gasoline fuel systems used in Bayliner boats are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U. S. Coast Guard. All fuel systems have been factory tested in accordance with test regula- tions in effect at the time of manufacture. in addition, each fuel tank has passed rigid tests and inspections performed by the tank manufacturer. CAUTION: It is very Important that the fuel system be Inspected thoroughly at the time it fs first fHled and then at each subse- quent filling. We recommend for your safety and the safety of your passengers that the ‘‘Fueling” Instructions In Section Il of this manual must be followed. Fuel Fills and Vents Fuel fills are located either on the aft deck or on the side decks adjacent to the aft cockpit and are marked “Fuel” or “Gas”, Fills are located so that any fuel spilled from the fill will flow overboard. Fuel vents are normally located in the hull or transom below and in the same general area as the fill. If you experience difficulty filling the fuel tank, you should check to see that the fuel fill and vent lines are free from obstructions and kinks. Anti-Siphon Valves As required by the U.S. Coast Guard, the fuel systems on all gas powered boats manufactured by Bayliner are equipped with an anti-siphon valve. This valve is an integral part of the barb fitting on the fuel tank to which the neoprene fuel line attaches. The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump pressure. These valves will prevent gasoline from siphoning from the fuel tank in the event of a fuel line rupture. NOTE: if an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starva- tion, the anti-siphon valve should be checked. In the event the valve is stuck or clogged it should be cleaned or replaced. Under ho circumstances should it be removed. Fuel Filters All fuel tanks installed by Bayliner are equipped with a fine mesh screen filter on the fuel pick up tube in the tank. In addition, when supplied by the motor manufacturer, an additional filter is installed on the engine. Fuel filters should be checked periodically to see that they're clean and free of debris. Valves On those models 2950-3250 equipped with inboard engines, two fuel tanks are used. The fuel lines from these tanks are run to a manifold made up of two OFF/ON valves and a crossover valve. If the boat is equipped with the optional generator there is also a valve on the manifold for the generator fuel line. Under normal con- ditions, the boat should be run with the main valves open and the crossover vaive closed. If for some reason one of the tanks runs 20 dry, the valve to that tank can be shut, the crossover opened and both engines run off the tank with fuel. When running two engines off one tank, you should not run the engines in excess of 3,000 R.P.M. The fuel manifold is ocated inside the aft cockpit hatch. CAUTION: Avold the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tanks. 6) Diesel Fuel The diesel fuel systems utilized in Bayliner boats are similar in many ways to the gasoline system. Diesel engine operation re- quires a return fuel line from the engine to the tank. Thus, the fuel system has two lines between the engine and the tank instead of ‘one. The diesel fuel tanks are not fitted with anti-siphon valves. Fuel valves are included in diesel systems between the tank and engine and on the return line. In some applications a crossover valve is used. Fuel filters are utilized in every diesel installation, It is very important that the filters be checked and cleaned regularly, FUEL CAPACITY TABLE MODEL POWER TANK NUMBER CAPACITY 1900 Eagle/Bowrider O/B Skyline 42606-04 40 2200 Santiago Fisherman O/B Skyline 42777-03 56 1750 Mutiny/Bowrider vO Skyline 42550-01 24 1950 Quartermaster/Bowrider vO Skyline 42606-041 40 1950 Eagle/Bowrider 0 Skyline 42606-01 40 2050 Admiraity/Bowrider v0 Skyline 42606-01 40 2050 Liberty 0 Skyline 42606-01 40 2250 Santiago Cuddy, Olfshore, Fisherman 0 Skyline 42777-03 56 2350 Monterey Cuddy, Express 10 Skyline 43222 69 2350 Monterey Command Bridge 1/0 Skyline 43216 69 2550 Saratoga Offshore 0 Skyline 42971 90 2550 Saratoga Sunbridge vo Skyline 42970-04 87 2550 Saratoga Sedan/Command Bridge v0.

When not using the boat, or when tank is dry, be sure the switch Is off. Pressure pump switches are located in the galleys on all models, On those models with showers, the shower stall sump pump switch is located in the head. Because the shower floor is below the waterline, a sump pump must be used to remove shower water. Starter Motor The engine starter moter is different from most 12V electric motors in that itis designed to deliver high horsepower for very short intervals on- ly. Avoid operation for more than 30 seconds at one time. Due to its high horsepower, this motor builds up considerable heat and can be permanently damaged with prolonged use. If it does not operate, check battery for charge and all direct connections for shorts or loose con- nections. The starter motor is located very near the bilge of your Bayliner. If bilge water is allowed to accumulate to a depth of more than six inches, the starter can be damaged. Automatic bilge pumps are recommended for boats left in open moorage. Bilge Blower The bilge blower is a factory installed item designed to clear the bilge area of gasoline fumes. In essence, it is a squirrel cage type electric fan which sucks out engine compartment air and causes fresh air to cir- culate into the compartment through the deck vents. The bilge blower is designed to be used before starting the engine, during starling and while the boat is operating below cruising speed to insure fresh air circulation. Operate blower for 4 minutes before start- ing engine NOTE: The blower will not prevent explosion. If you smell gas, shut off all electrical accessories and engine and investigate immediately. Bilge Pump The electric bilge pump supplied with your Bayliner is of an impeller type. If you see water and the pump motor is running but not pumping, check to see that it is not clogged by debris. If it stil does not pump, check the discharge hose for kinks or a collasped area. NOTE: The federal water pollution control act prohibits the discharge of oil or oll waste into or upon the navigable waters and contiguous zone of the United States If such discharge causes a film or sheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of the water, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of the water. Violators are subject to a penalty of $5,000. 24 G. Running Lights. If the night lights or navigation lights supplied with your Bayliner fail to operate: 1) You may have blown a fuse. (Replace fuse behind or on the dash panel.) 2) The bulb may be burned out. (Carry spare bulbs for replacement.} 3) The bulb base may be corroded. (Clean periodically as required and coat with non-conductive grease or vasoline.) 4) Awire may be loose, due to vibration or mis-stowed gear. (Repair where break occurred.) NOTE: Prolonged operation of cabin interior lights (overnight) can result In a dead battery. Be conservative in the use of battery power. H. Windshield Wiper The wiper motor supplied with your Bayliner, like all good equipment, requires some maintenance. Do not increase the size of the wiper arm. The manufacturer has engineered the motor for that exact load. If the wiper does not operate: 1) Check fuse 2) Check switch 3) Make sure wiper arm is securely attached to motor |. Head Operation 1) Portable heads: POTPOURRI To use: A Mix 1% to 2 gallons of water with four ounces of Liquid Gold con- centrate and pour the mixture through the opening of the basin, while operating the flushing handle on the side. Pump the liquid into the basin, and push on the flush handle. Repeat the operation to assure perfect mixing. Before using, it is always necessary to pump liquid into the basin. Keep the basin dry when running. NOTE: Use only white toilet tissue as colored dles may impair the effectiveness of the chemical. Use regular ply tissue. Do not use disintegrating tlssue as thls may clog the entlre pump system. Cleaning: Use only mild cleansers, detergents or soaps. Avoid using abrasive cleansers. Ciean the toilet bowl periodically as you would your household toilet. 00 25 D E To empty: The Potpourri is designed to be carried like a suitcase by the han- die on the back of the head. In many cases the head must be held in suitcase fashion to remove It from the head compartment. You are cautioned not to overfill the head. if the head is overfilled it can't be tipped up for removal from the head compartment. To empty the portable mode! into another toilet, remove the pourspout cap at the rear right-hand corner and connect the hose adapter with an adequate length of three-inch (7.62 cm) flexible sewer hose clamped on to submerge the hose below the waterline in an existing toilet bowl. Gradually tilt the unit to drain out. After emptying, flush a half pall of clear water into the holding tank and swirl contents to rinse out. Repeat if necessary. To use toilet again recharge with % bottle of Liquid Gold as done originally. NOTE: There are many brands of toilet chemicals, any of which will work very well In any of the portable toilets supplied by Bayliner, SEA FARER The Sea Farer is divided into two basic components. The top section consists of the seat, seat cover, flushing bellows, bowl and freshwater storage chamber, The lower section consists of an odor-tight, gas-tight seal; and the holding tank for waste storage. Preparation: A Set the unit on the ground. Tilt unit forward, then remove the large threaded cap from the lower rear of the unit and pour in % bottle of Aqua Kem Concentrate to control odor and prevent gaseous buildup within the holding tank. Replace and tighten cap. Unsnap the cap on the top back of the unit and fill the tank to the specified level with fresh water. DO NOT POUR ODOR CONTROL CHEMICALS INTO THIS SECTION. Replace the cap. To use: A If you wish to add water to the bow! before using, depress the flushing bellows. To flush after use, depress the flushing bellows ‘one or more times and raise the valve handle. Water and waste in the bowl will pass Into holding tank. For the most efficient use and conservation of water, it ls recommended that you raise the valve handle and depress the bellows simultaneously to flush. Should the holding tank become overfilled, tilt the toilet back slight- ly and open the valve. 26 To Empty: A The holding tank of the Sea Farer is ready to empty when the holding tank contents approach the level of the blade of the mechanical seal. Carry the unit to any permanent tollet facility. B Tilt forward. Remove the large threaded cap on the lower right and pour the contents into a toilet. Trouble Shooting: Symptom: Valve operates harder than normal or the blade sticks. Cure: Apply a light film of silicone spray to blade. 2) Marine head with holding tank (optional): The marine head with holding tank is designed so waste may be flushed into the holding tank or, for those traveling offshore and beyond federally regulated waterways, flushed overboard. This is accomplished by routing the head discharge hose through a “Y” connector to the holding tank and also over- board. There are valves in each of these lines. To fiush waste overboard the gate valve to the tank must be closed and the thru-hull seacock should be open. To flush into the holding tank, close the thru-hull seacock and open the gate valve to the holding tank. To empty the holding tank the boat must be taken to a pump out station. To operate the marine head, open the sea cock on the sea water intake. Before using, pump some water in to wet the bowl. After using, pump until thoroughly cleansed. Pump a few more times to clean lines. If excess waste should cause water to rise in bowl, stop pumping until water recedes. If at any time you are unable to pump water into the bowl, the probable reason is debris sucked into the pump diaphragm. To remedy, shut inlet sea cock, and dismantle pump. Pump is generally held together with six screws. The design is simple and problem will be obvious when pump body is split open. To winterize toilet, shut off intake valve. Pump until dry. Revove drain plug in base. Pump again to remove all water. Do not use antifreeze. The inlet sea cock should be closed when the boat is left moored and unattended. The following chart will help you locate the holding tank and valves in your Bayliner. 27 H.

Flo-Thru Head (Optional) To determine location of treatment center for the Flo-Thru head see chart for location of optional holding tank. The sea water inlet valve location will also correspond as will the location of the discharge seacock. There is no by pass on this system. See the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of this equipment. J. Alcohol Stoves Read carefully and follow the operating instructions. Use only stove alcohol labeled specifically for marine stove use. Do not operate stove while under way. 29 To fill: Unscrew filler cap. Fill tank with denatured ethyl alcohol using a funnel. Replace cap. The filler cap is equipped with a safety valve and must not be replaced by any other type of cap. To start: Pump approximately 20 times to pressurize fuel tank. Pump Is located at front of stove. To operate: Burners must be preheated to produce vaporized alcohol. Slowly open (counterclockwise) one burner at a time to allow alcohol to flow into priming cup below the burner body. Fill priming cup % full (about % ounce). Shut off burner (clockwise) and ignite priming alcohol. When this alcohol is fully consumed, turn control knob toward open position and light burner. WARNING: ALCOHOL FUEL IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. All alcohol spilled while filling tank or as a result of priming cup being filled to overflowing must be cleaned up prior to lighting alcohol stove. Follow starting instructions above carefully. Flare-up may occur during preheating, particularly if burner valve is opened before preheating is completed. If flare-up oc- curs, shut off burner and restart per instructtons. DO NOT PUT COOKING UTENSILS ON STOVE UNTIL BURNERS ARE FUNC- TIONING PROPERLY. To shut off burner: Turn control knob to extreme right. Release pressure in tank by loosen- ing filler cap. . Loading fimits: hardtops, cabin tops, command bridges Hardtops and cabin tops are of fiberglass reinforced with balsa. They are designed to be lightweight for proper boat balance and carry the following load limits: Sedan model not to exceed 500 pounds; Express cruiser hardtops not to exceed 80 pounds; Command bridge model not to exceed 500 pounds (2350 and 2550), 600 pounds (2750), 700 pounds (2950 and larger). These are maximum limits for boats car- trying a normal complement of fuel and gear. Boats with a lighter load should carry less weight than stated maximum in critical areas noted above. . Transom platforms carry the following load limits: Weight not to exceed 250 pounds. Auxiliary engine not to exceed 7% horsepower. 30 Section IV Underway Operating Instructions A. Instruments 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Tachometer—All tachometers are of the electric type, indicating engine revolutions per minute (rpm) in 100's. On twin engine in- stallations or dua! station models, the tachometers may have a slightly different reading. This is normal. Temperature Gauge--The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature by monitoring a signal from a sending unit in- stalled in the engine water jacket. The sender changes resistance value as its temperature changes. This changing resistance value is then measured by the instrument. When gauge reads in the danger area, shut the engine off and diagnose the problem. A com- mon cause of overheating is picking up a foreign object on the water intake. Usually, raising and towering your outdrive will free it of the foreign object. On those twin engine powered boats equipped with a hot water system whereby the cooling system of one engine is plumbed through the hot water tank to heat fresh water, the temperature gauges) for that engine will read a different operating temperature than the other engine. Oil Pressure Gauge—The oil pressure gauge indicates pressure by monitoring a signal from a sending unit. When gauge reads in the danger area, shut the engine off and diagnose the problem. Fuel Gauge—The fuel gauge indicates fuel level. Since boats are many times exposed to rough water conditions and varying trim, fuel gauges may provide inaccurate readings at times, It is always wise to keep track of your running time as a double check against an inaccurate gauge. Hour Meter (Optional}—The hour meter measures engine running time, It is an aid to maintenance and warranty requirements. The meter has a range of 10,000 hours with automatic recycle. B. Boat Performance Boat speeds are affected by a great many factors. Some such as temperature and altitude, you can’t do anything about. You can affect other factors. They are: 31 1) 2) 3) Loading: take with you only the necessary equipment. As you add weight to your boat, it slows down. Keep weight low in the boat and balanced. Propeller: keep it in good repair and correct pitch for your par- ticular situation. The factory standard equipment propeller may not be the best one for your particular boat and load conditions. The engine should be able to come up to its rated rpm on a normally loaded boat. If the engine rpm runs too slow, try a prop of less pitch. If the engine overspeeds, efficiency is also lost; try a prop of greater pitch. A slightly bent or nicked propeller will affect the performance of your boat. Weeds, barnacles and other growth: keep your boat bottom free of these. When your boat starts “growing grass” it will slow down greatly, even to the point where it will not plane. Anti-fouling paint that does not contain mecury or copper additives is recommend- ed. Base materials, such as copper, will accelerate electrolysis and damage your lower unit's aluminum housing. Marine growth varies from one area to another so it is best to con- sult your dealer for the best bottom paint for your particular area. Boat Running Attitude 1) If your boat runs with its bow too high at cruising speeds, the following suggestions will help you lower the bow: a. Move weight forward in the boat. b. Install trim tabs (optional equipment). See Section D below. c. Adjust thrust angle of engine. 1. Volvo I/O or outboard motors: move tilt pin in transom plate to the closest hole to the boat. 2. MerCruiser: run trim in “down” or “in” position. d. If your boat runs with its bow too low at cruising speeds (usual- ly indicated by water coming off the hull way forward and the boat being difficult to steer—veering off), you can raise the bow by: a. Moving weight aft. b. Not using tabs. c. Adjusting engine thrust angle. 1) Volvo HO or outboard motors: move tit pin out away from the transom, one hote at a time. 2) MerCruiser: run power trim in “extended” or “out” position with small adjustments. 32 D. Trim Tabs (Optional) Trim tabs are intended for corrections to boat trim on the port and star- board axis with very minor changes in pitch or fore-and-aft attitude. For major corrections, redistribute loads. 1) If tab position is unknown, when idling away from the dock, put your tab on the full bow-up position. 2) After power is applied and boat is at cruising rpm, push appropriate tab button to level the boat on lateral axis. Several short touches of the tab button are recommended. Allow the boat to react to the new position of the trim tab after each touch. When installed under manufacturer's recommendation, the port button on the trim tab switch operates the starboard trim tab and vice versa. 3) Both tabs can be lowered slightly to lower bow. Forcing the bow down with tabs will cause steering difficulty and a loss of efficiency. 4) When running in a following sea, run tabs in full bow-up position. WARNING: EXCESSIVE USE OF TRIM TABS WILL CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. DO NOT USE TRIM TABS IN A FOLLOW- ING SEA AS THEY MAY CAUSE BROACHING OR OTHER UN- SAFE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS, DO NOT ALLOW THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH TRIM TABS TO OPERATE THE BOAT. £. Operating Dual Station Boats Always start the boat at the station from which you will be operating. This eliminates the possibility of having someone inadvertantly turn off the ignition; also, if the engine stalls you are able to start it immediately. Remind anyone near the unattended control station to “keep hands off”. When leaving one station to begin operating at the other, bring the boat to a complete stop and take your keys with you. Never leave the helm while the boat is underway and assume that someone else has the boat under control. If you are operating your boat from the bridge and you encounter heavy sea conditions, you should bring your boat down to an idle, point it into the sea and have any bridge passengers move down to the cabin. If sea conditions become very heavy, you should also leave the bridge and operate your boat from the lower station. Children left unattended below should be made to wear life jackets. 33 F. Steering Wheel Pressure Ail stern drives can be adjusted so there is no pull on the wheel at one given speed or trim angle. We suggest your normal cruising speed. This is done by turning a trim tab on the gear case in the direction the wheel is pulling. Small adjustments should be made until the steering has neutral torque at the speed you desire. When running faster or slower than this speed, a minimal amount of torque will be present. G. Static Float Attitude The static attitude of your boat can be affected by many variables. Optional equipment and loading of gear are the biggest contributors to a boats listing. After launching, any new boat can be adjusted. If your boat lists to one side, store heavy items on the light side and light items on the heavy side. Batteries have a big effect on static float attitude of a boat. Move bat- teries to light side if required. Deep-V boats ride well in rough water; however, they are more critical in balance than flatter bottom boats. Loading and placement of gear and passengers have a great effect on attitude and balance of a deep-V boat. H. Tips for Boat Owners 1) When commissioning a new boat, do not plan an extensive trip or parly until you have a shakedown cruise to make sure all equip- ment on your boat is functioning properly and you are familiar with its operation. 2) Use big bumpers as they will best protect your boat from floats, piers and other boats. 3) Carry adequate line properly sized to your boat. A minimum of two 30’ lengths of 3/8” nylon line should be aboard on models 1750 through 2050; three 30’ lengths of 3/8” nylon on 2150 through 2350; and four 50’ lengths of 1/2” line on 2550 through 2850. 4) Be courteous to other boats. Slow down in congested areas and watch that your wake does not damage other boats. |. Boating Safety Courses Your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary/Power Squadron generally puts on a Safe Boating Class several times a year. They are very com- prehensive and generally of minimal cost to you. Call your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power Squadron Flotilla for the time and piace of the next class. 34 Section V General Maintenance and Repairs A. Fiberglass Staining and Discoloration These problems can generally be removed by many of the fine fiberglass cleansers available. However, they take elbow grease. For best results follow the manufacturer's recommendations. If the marine products are not available in your area, try the new liquid household cleaners such as 409, Ajax liquid, Fantastik or others. Caution: Household cleaners with abrasives will dull the finish on your boat, If this occurs, wax and buff the area to restore luster. B. Hardware Cleaning Use nearly any of the modern chrome cleaners on the market today to spruce up hardware, After a good cleaning, a coat of paste wax will add greatly to its luster. All metal fittings, including dash panel, instruments, railings and hardware, should be sprayed with a rust Inhibitor similar to WD-40 every three months when exposed to salt water and annually in fresh water. If not maintained on a regular basis, stainless steel railing and fittings, in particular, will discolor because of surface carbon steel granules picked up in processing and, in some areas, because of con- taminants carried in the air. C. Vinyl Upholstery Use any good automotive vinyl cleaner; cleaner concentrates such as Fantastik work well also. Caution: Avoid solvents and bleaches, as they may permanently damage the vinyl. D. Vinyl Flooring Use one of the liquid cleaners mentioned previously and a scrub brush. Rinse throughly to avoid slickness when wet. E. Structafoam Swim Platform and Steps These clean well with a spot remover made for rugs and carpets. F. Teak To keep teak looking fresh, it should be well oiled with teak oil at least twice a year (more often if exposure is severe). If the teak is in particu- larly bad condition, the teak oil should be rubbed in, using 220 grit wet- and-dry sandpaper. 35 G. Repairing Fiberglass, Gelcoat Chips, Gouges and Scratches Almost unavoidable during the life of your boat is damage to the Geicoat or colored surface. This is not as serious as you might think. Repair is not costly and can be done by the novice. 1) Scratches: If the scratch does not penetrate the Gelcoat surface, use automotive rubbing compounds. Dampen a soft rag or use a power buffer. Apply rubbing compound with plenty of elbow grease. The scratch may not disappear completely; however, its noticeability will decrease. 2) Gouges and Chips: To repair, simply obtain “Patch Paste” from your Bayliner dealer and follow this recommended procedure: a. Clean area to be repaired of wax and oil. Acetone is a good solvent. b. Using a small portion of patch paste on a piece of cardboard, mix thoroughly with catalyst (two or three drops of catalyst toa tablespoon of paste). Apply to pit, chip or gouge with a single-edged razor blade to match the surface and contour of the area being repaired, (It's better to have an excess than not enough on the patch. d. Allow to harden thoroughly. In most climates, one or two hours should be sufficient. e. Shape the patch to desired thickness, using fine wet sand- paper on a sanding block, {. Finish using automotive rubbing compound in the same manner as for scratches. 2 H. Special Care for Boats that are Permanently Moored Important; Bayliner Marine Corporation advises that any boat moored in fresh or salt water be painted with a good grade of antifouling bottom paint below the water line. Bayliner recommends International Paint Company's “Tri-Lux” bottom paint. Not only will the bottom paint inhibit marine growth, but it will also seal the pores in the gelcoat finish. Failure to add a protective coat of bottom paint to the bottom of a boat that is moored can result in gelcoat blistering or other cosmetic problems with the gelcoat below the water line. The bottoms on Bayliner models 2950 — 3250 are painted with International Tri-Lux at the factory. On those models 1500 — 2750 bottom paint is a dealer installed option. It is best and most inexpensive to have antifouling paint added prior to first launching. Underwater Corrosion Stray current corrosion or electrolysis can best be compared to elec- troplating of chromium or brass, with the salt water acing as the elec- trolyte and the battery acting as the source of direct current. 36 Electrolysis can be prevented in several ways. The following are the most common causes and the simplest cures for the problem: 1) Keep a clean, dry bilge. Wiring may leak a certain amount of elec- tricity. 2) Apoorly grounded zinc anode; check ground wire or clean contact surfaces. 3) The zinc anode may be deteriorated beyond effectiveness; replace, usually at 50% loss. 4) If extremely fast deterioration is occurring, it may be wise to install electronic protection such as Mer-cathode. Cabin Windows and Windshields Salt and brackish water are capable of etching and damaging glass. Keeping windows clean is the best preventive measure you may take. Window Leakage Cabin window leakage is uncommon; but if it does occur, it is simply remedied, 1} Mark the leak using crayon or other nonpermanent marking. 2) Dry thoroughly. You might have to wait for a dry day. Sealer will not bond if moisture is present. 3) Coat area with silicone-type rubber sealant. 4} Allow sealant to dry well, then check by sprinkling with a hose. (Cabin window or windshield leakage is not covered under the Bayliner Warranty.) Under way, whether trailering or in the water, be sure to use the antirattle snubbers to secure windows in place, open or closed. Convertible Tops and Back Covers Convertible tops can be cleaned using a regular viny! cleaner. Vinyl cleaners may be obtaned in grocery stores or auto parts houses. To prevent rainwater seepage at the canvas seams, a coating of Scotch Guard can be applied to the seams on the inside of the vinyl. Mildew can occur if your boat does not have adequate ventilation. Heat alone won't prevent mildew. If mildew does occur, it can be removed using a solution of hot water and Clorox (one cup of Clorox to one gallon of hot water). Brush into affected area, let set for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse with fresh water. If at all possible, the vinyl top parts of your boat should be stored indoors ina fairly warm, dry place. This will greatly extend the life of the material. 37 M. Instruments~-Care and Service Your marine instruments have been designed and constructed of the best possible materials and with proper care will give you years of trouble-free operation. When using your instruments in a saltwater environment, salt crystals. may form on the bezel and the plastic dial. These salt crystals should be removed with a soft damp cloth; never use abrasives or rough, dirty cloths to wipe plastic parts. Mild household detergents or plastic cleaners can be used to keep the crystal bright and clean. 38 Section VI Winterizing If your boating season has ended or cold weather is setting in, follow these suggestions: 1) Drain the engine block and manifolds. Frozen water expands and can crack your engine. Consult your engine owner's manual for location of drains. There can be drains on the block and manifolds. 2) Drain the outdrive of water and change outdrive lubricant. Your dealer can perform this service for you at minimal cost. 3) Store boat, if outside or in an unheated area, with the bow higher than the stern to allow any condensation of water to run out. Remove the transom drain plug. 4) Consult operating instructions provided with your head (toilet) for winterizing. Drain self-contained heads. 5) Drain water tanks to avoid freezing and insure fresh taste in the spring. Be sure to drain accumulated water in the pump to avoid damage due to freezing. This is best accomplished by running the pump until empty. On those boats equipped with hot water tanks, remove the drain plug on the tank after all the water has been pumped out of the regular water tank{s). On those models whose engine cooling water circulates through the hot water tank, the hoses carrying this water must be disconnected at the engine and blown out. (This is not necessary on engines equipped with fresh water cooling and filled with antifreeze.) 6) Gasoline tanks should be kept completely full. With full tanks, there is little air space to allow condensation, a major cause of sludge and gum that eventually create problems. 7) Remove the marine battery from your boat. Fill the cells to proper level and store in a warm dry place. Do not store on a cement floor. A fully charged battery will survive storage better. 8) Lubricate control and steering push-pull cables 9) Clean the boat thoroughly. Coat deck hardware and other metalic parts with a rust inhibitor. 10} Your boat should be stored inside during winter if possible. If out- side storage can't be avoided, a special cover should be used. Use of the standard vinyl top as a winter storage cover will cause rapid deterioration of these parts. Heat should be kept in the boat to avoid dampness and adequate flow-through ventilation should be assured. Lack of ventilation will cause mildew. 39 11) Bunk cushions and dinette cushions may be left aboard; however, they should be stored on edge with plenty of ventilation, 12) If storing on a trailer: a. Now is a good time to repack wheel bearings. Your local automotive service shop can help you. b. c. dg. e. Block the trailer wheels off the ground to avoid tire deterioration, Loosen stern tiedowns to avoid stress on hull. Store in a bow-high position for drainage. Touch up trailer paint. We hope the above preventive measures will help make a spring get-ready less work. However, don’t forget to consult your dealer as well as the engine owner’s manual for engine winterizing requirements.

Our dealers normally stock many of our accessories or can supply you with them in a short time. 40 Section VII Propeller Recommendations Variances in operating altitudes (highland lakes vs. sea level) and loads can affect performance. Changing to a propeller of a different size and pitch can often compensate for the effects of increased load or altitude, and insure peak performance. The following propeller chart lists a recommended propeller for some model and engine combinations. These recommendations are based on operation at sea level with two persons and a light load in all boat models 1750 through 2050. Recommendations for models 2150 through 2750 are based on sea level operation with four persons and a light load. Generally, for every 2500 feet above sea level, it is advisable to decrease propeller pitch two inches from the receommendations listed. Every attempt has been made to equip your Bayliner with a propeller that will optimize performance. Your boating needs, however, may make a dif- ferent propeller desirable. Your Bayliner dealer can help you in the selec- tion of a propeller best suited to your uses. On those high performance Bayliner models capable of speeds in excess of 50 mph, cavitation burn may be experienced on the propeller. High perfor- mance propellers constructed of bronze or stainless steel are available from propeller manufacturers, but using these could void the warranty on your drive unit. Props on these boats should be checked frequently for cavitation burn if the boat is continuously operated at high speeds. Replace propellers as necessary when severe burn occurs.

Gasoline vapors are explosive and being heavier than air will settle in the fower parts of a boat. While fueling, all doors, hatches, and ports should be closed; galley fires and pilot lights extinguished, smoking strictly prohibited; and the filling nozzle kept in contact with the fill pipe to prevent static spark. Avoid spilling. Do not use gasoline stoves, heaters or light on board. Whenever possible, portable tanks should be fueled out of the boat. 2. After fueling, thoroughly ventilate all compartments and check the machinery and fuel tank areas for fumes before attempting to start the motor. Remember that the electrical ignition and starting system could sup- ply the ignition to any accumulation of explosive vapors. Take time to be safe. Keep fuel lines tight and bilges always clean. 3. Do not overload or improperly load your boat. maintain adequate freeboard at all times; consider the sea conditions, the duration of the trip, the predicted weather, and the experience of the operator. Do not permit persons to ride on parts of the boat not designed for such use. Bow riding and seat back or gunwale riding can be especially hazardous. 4. Keep an alert lookout. Serious accidents have resulted from failure in this respect. 5. Be especially careful when operating in any area where swimmers might be. They are often difficult to see. 6. Watch your wake. It might capsize a smail craft; it can damage boats or property along the shore. You are responsible. Pass through anchorages only at minimum speed. 7. Keep firefighting and lifesaving equipment in good condition and readily available at ail times. 8. Obey the Rules of the Road. Neglect of this is the greatest single cause of collision. 9. Always have children wear lifesaving devices. Always check those intended for young children for fit and performance in the water on each in- dividual child. Never hesitate to have “all hands” wear lifesavit i whenever circumstances cause the slightest doubt about safe! PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES: REQUIREMENTS — One Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) of suitable size for each person aboard recreational boats, including sailboats, rowboats, kayaks and canoes. New PFO’s bearing Coast Guard approval are now identified by “Types |, It, Ill or IV”. 45
