240 Sundeck ® iii INTRODUCTION 1. THIS MANUAL The material here and in the rest of the Owner’s Manual Packet: • Gives you basic safety information; • Describes the features of your boat; • Describes the equipment on your boat; • Describes the fundamentals of boat use; and • Contains service and maintenance information. You must learn to operate this boat as well as read, understand and use this manual. What this manual does not give you is a course in boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor or dock you boat. Operating a power boat safely requires more skills, knowledge and awareness than is necessary for a car or truck. 2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES For your safety, the safety of your passengers, other boaters and people in the water, you must: • Take a boating safety course; • Get instruction in the safe and proper handling of your boat; • Understand and follow the “rules of the road”; • Learn how to navigate. 3. SOURCE OF INFORMATION In North America, contact one of the following for boating courses: • U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary • U.S. Power Squadron • Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons • Red cross • State Boating Offices • Yacht Club Contact your dealer or the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1- 800-336-2628 Outside of North America, contact your boat dealer and/or your governmental boating agency for assistance. A book that provides a comprehensive background in boating is Chapman - Piloting, Seamanship and small Boat handling, by Elbert S. Maloney, published by Hearst Marine. 4. DEALER RESPONSIBILITIES In addition to a pre-delivery check and service of the boat, your dealer is to give you: • A description and demonstration of the safety systems, features, instruments and controls on your boat; • An orientation in the general operation of your boat; • An “In Service Form” completed by you and the dealer after your inspection of the boat; • A review of all warranty information and how to obtain warranty service; • The complete Owner’s Manual Packet. If you do not receive all of these materials, or have any questions, contact your dealer or call 1-800-SRBOATS. 5. WARRANTIES Your boat comes with several warranties. Each component and/or system on your boat has its own warranty that will be found with the specific information and manual for that component. These are included with your Owner’s Manual Packet. Locate and read the individual warranties; then put them together for easy future reference. The Sea Ray ® warranty is on the warranty information card in your packet and is repeated on the next page.

240 Sundeck ® iv 6. HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (HIN) The “Hull Identification Number” located on the star- board side of the transom, is the most important iden- tifying factor and must be included in all correspon- dence and orders. Failure to include it creates de- lays. Also of vital importance are the engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing about or or- dering parts for your engine. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for locations of engine serial numbers and record them for future reference. 7. MANUFACTURER’S CERTIFICATION A CE mark means that your Sea Ray ® Boat has been certified to meet the applicable International Organi- zation for Standardization directives. NMMA certification means that your Sea Ray ® Boat has been judged by the National Marine Manufactur- ers Association to be in compliance with applicable federal regulations and American Boat and Yacht Council standards. The following information is furnished in compliance with ISO directives and RSG guidelines in effect as of the date of publication of this manual. Sea Ray® will provide additional information as standards are amended. The following information, required for ex- port of the vessel, must be filled out by the dealer. 8.
