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