Hunter 45DS • Operator's Manual B Thank Y ou! From the General Manager Dear Hunter Owner , Congratulations and welcome to the Hunter family! As a Hunter owner, you will enjoy the quality and the attention to detail for which Hunter Boats are renowned. Hunter and your dealer are committed to your service and total satisfaction. This Operator’s Manual will acquaint you with the proper operation and maintenance of your new Hunter boat, as well as boating safety , which is our primary concern, whether in ports or at sea. The new boat warranty registration form you signed at the time of delivery will be sent to us by your dealer. This registers the one year warranty and establishes your contact information in our system. It will also activate Hunter's Customer Satisfaction program (CSS), our effort to insure the highest level of satisfaction and enjoyment with your new Hunter. Within a few weeks of delivery you will receive a letter asking you to complete an online questionnaire primarily about your experience with the dealer. Several months later you will receive a second letter asking you to evaluate the boat. We value your opinion and hope that you will take the time to complete both surveys. As you already know, we work with the highest quality equipment manufacturers to supply the components for your boat. To receive full warranty coverage on all the individual components, such as engine, electronics and appliances, be sure to complete and return to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) warranty cards to activate the individual warranties for these important components. You will find them in the owner's packet that also contains the OEM manuals for this equipment. Please remember all the information contained in the OEM manuals supersedes the information contained in this manual. Finally , if you are new to boating, be certain to learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of your passengers. Refer to Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling Manual for important and useful information concerning this aspect of boating. Attend a safe boating course offered by the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary , United States Power Squadron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting safe boating courses. Thank you for choosing Hunter. I am confident your new boat will provide you and your family with years of enjoyable boating. Mike Williams General Manager

However, please note that the information in this manual only summarizes more detailed information in the equipment manuals. The summaries are intended to be a convenient reference for daily use. OEM manuals take precedence over the infor- mati on in the manufact ur es document s. This information does not give you a course in boating safety , or how to navigate, anchor, or dock your boat. Operating a boat, sail or power, requires more skills, knowledge and awareness than is necessary to operate a car or truck. 1.2 Your Responsibilities Please keep this manual in a dry and secure but readily accessible place and leave it on the boat at all times! Make sure to hand over this manual to the new owner if you decide to sell the boat. If this is your first boat of this type or you are chang- ing to a new boat you are not familiar with, please insure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command. For your safety , and the safety of your passengers you must: Take a course in Boating Safety; Get instruction, or aide in the safe and proper handling of your boat; Familiarize yourself and your passengers of the locations, and use of all safety , and essential operating equipment. • • • • • • • • Understand and follow the rules of the road; Learn how to navigate a boat in the proper sea, and weather conditions; Register your boat, contact state boating authorities, or the marine dealer for the registration requirements. Boating Safety courses provide owners and operators with the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in a variety of skills: Navigation Seamanship and boat handling Rules of the Road Knowledge of federal, state, and local regulations Weather prediction Safety at sea Survival in bad weather Respect for others on the water First aid Radio communication Distress signals Rendering assistance to others Use of lifesaving equipment Pollution control Knowledge of the boat and its systems Seaworthiness Leaving or approaching a dock mooring Anchoring and weighing anchor Beaching the boat and shallow water operations Towing and being towed Handling mooring lines and tying up Procedures for emergencies including fire, flooding, collision, and medical emergencies, etc. Even when your boat is categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design cat- egories A, B, or C (see the design category example at the end of this section.) can range from strong gale to severe conditions where only a competent, fit and trained crew handling a well maintained boat can safely operate. We would like to hear your comments or suggestions concerning our manuals. Did you find the information helpful? Was the information delivered in a clear precise manner? Was the information thorough enough to help you with your new boat? Please call us at (904) 827- 2055 to speak to our Manual Department, if you have questions, or comments, concerning the manual. Please note, this department does not have design or warranty information you will need to contact those departments for such information. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
