Nautique SPORT NAUTIQUE 216 - Manual (Page 23)

• The total weight of persons, gear and other items which the
boat is capable of carrying under normal conditions. This
weight must include any water added to ballast other than
the Correct Craft Launch Control System.
• The maximum number of persons allowed on the boat. This
information on the capacity plate applies under normal
conditions and special care must be used in any other than
normal conditions. Check the capacity plate on your boat
and abide by these limits.
NOTICE
Correct Craft, Inc. Installs a permanent wake enhancement ballast
tank system in some models. The full weight of this system has already
been considered in the boat weight and therefore does not influence
maximum capacity, unlike portable ballast tanks or weights, which
must be included as part of the gear weight.
Section 1
Correct Craft, Inc.
A fully loaded Nautique will handle differently
than a lightly loaded one. Drive and turn your Nautique
with this in mind. As wakeboarding has developed, we
have witnessed the advent of ballast systems which add
weight and increase the size of the wake. The simplest
ballast system on the market is the water ballast type,
such as the “phat sack.” It is not uncommon to see
operators use such systems and then put additional
people in their boat. Please be advised that this practice
can lead to overloading your boat. Each Correct Craft,
Inc. boat has a required capacity label that meets the
maximum weight of people, gear, and ballast that can be
placed in the boat. Always be aware of the load in your
boat and do not load the boat in excess of the listed
capacity. The quest for the "phattest" wake has caused
some to excessively overload their boats. This may
adversely affect the operation of the boat, possibly
resulting in injury to persons inside and/or outside of
the boat. Avoid personal injury. DO NOT overload your
Nautique.
