PURCHASER NAME: ADDRESS: CITY: ZIP: BOAT S/N: ENGINE MFG: S/N: S/N: PURCHASE DATE: have read the INTREPID Limited Warranty and specifically I, item number 5 under “Exclusions from Warranty” and fully understand that if and when there is any warranty, or service needed for the outboard or inboard motors, I must make arrangements with my local factory authorized service center, as INTREPID is not an authorized service center for motors or related parts. The balance of number 5 will be handled by Intrepid Boats through the warranty extended by that specific manufacturer. All Yamaha engines rigged by Intrepid Powerboats use a custom rig tube receiver at the engine that does not allow the tube to fall out as other rig tube receivers do. It is most important that when the engines are trimmed all the way up in the out of water position, that the engines must be turned hard over to port or starboard (preferable port), before trimming them up so that you will not kink the rigging tube. On triple engine installations, care must be taken not to turn the engines hard over prior to tilting as damage to engine cowling may occur. SIGNED: DATE: B-3 CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY Read your warranty certificate carefully and promptly mail in the warranty registration with all the requested information. The warranty is specific as to what is covered by warranty and how to obtain repair. It is important to realize that there is a difference between warranty work, routine maintenance and damage caused by misuse or negligence. If you experience a problem with your Intrepid or any of the factory installed components, contact the Intrepid factory with a complete description of what is occurring for assistance. We will then advise you of the quickest and best way to resolve the problem. The engine(s) are covered separately under warranty by the Engine Manufacturer. Any engine warranty or service work must be performed by an Engine Manufacturer’s authorized service center. Do not operate your Intrepid or any system or component until you have read and understand this manual or the manuals supplied by equipment suppliers. Supplied equipment manuals are included in your Owner’s Pack. The delivering representative or dealer should familiarize you with the operation and handling of your Intrepid so that you will have a complete understanding of your boat. If you have any questions regarding your Intrepid or its operation, contact us and we will answer all questions. B-4 CONTROL HELM The Helm on your Intrepid is the control and monitor center for the engine and electrical, steering, and navigational systems installed on your boat. THE CONTROL HELM (TWIN ENGINE MERCURY OPTIMAX WITH SMARTCRAFT GAUGE PACKAGE SHOWN) SPEED AND MANEUVERING CONTROLS Located on the helm are all the controls necessary to control your engine and maneuvering functions. These controls include: 1. 2. 3. 4. Engine Throttle & Forward/Reverse Controls Ignition/Start Switches Steering System Boat & Engine Trim 1. Engine Throttle / Shift Control (Outboard) Throttle and Shift controls are installed on the starboard side of the steering helm. They are pushpull controls and are connected to the engine throttle and shift mechanisms through push-pull cables. NOTE Refer to the Engine Control manufacturer’s manual for proper operation and maintenance of the Engine Control system. This manual is included in your Owner’s packet. The Shift Control shifts the engine in the same direction the lever is moved, forward to go forward and aft to move backwards. C-1 The Throttle Control controls the engine speed or RPM by pushing the levers forward to increase speed and pulling the lever back to decrease speed in forward gear. TWIN ENGINE THROTTLE / SHIFT CONTROLS NOTE It is recommended that you check for proper throw of the shift mechanism when you first take delivery and periodically to ensure full throw into forward and reverse. If the gears are not fully engaged while running, extensive damage can occur which is not covered under the engine manufacturer's warranty. If you find your controls are not adjusted correctly, contact your dealer immediately to have them adjusted. NOTE Avoid high RPM operation out of gear in the same manner you would with your personal automobile. 2. Ignition Switches The Ignition Switches are provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Refer to the information on the operation of the Ignition Switch that is located in your Owner’s Pack. The Ignition Switches provides you with the ability to: 1. Energize the engine electrical system 2. Energize the engine instrumentation 3. Crank the engine. 4. Choke the engine during starting 5. Turning off the engines, engine electrical systems, and instrumentation. C-2 IGNITION ON ENGINE START ENGINE AND IGNITION OFF YAMAHA PUSH KEY TO CHOKE KILL SWITCH AND LANYARD YAMAHA IGNITION SWITCH NOTE The Lanyard connected to the Engine Kill Switch should be attached to the boat’s helmsman whenever underway. If the helmsman is thrown or rolled away from the helm, the Lanyard will unclip from the Engine Kill Switch and shutdown the engines. If extra Ignition Switch keys are required, contact Intrepid Powerboats. Key numbers can be found in this Owner’s Manual. 3. STEERING SYSTEM The hydraulic steering system transmits power from the steering wheel to the steering ram mounted on the engines to control the turning of the engines. The system gives instant steering response to the engines to control the direction of the boat while under way. STEERING CYLINDER TEES HYDRAULIC LINES STEERING HELM SPLASHWELL FITTINGS HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM DIAGRAM NOTE Refer to the Steering Control manufacturer’s manual for proper operation and maintenance of the Steering system. This manual is included in your Owner’s packet. The helm unit under the steering wheel contains the hydraulic fluid that supplies the complete steering system. Periodic checks of the fluid level should be performed to insure an adequate Supply is always available to prevent air from entering the system and causing a degradation or loss of steering. C-3 The steering system uses hydraulic fluids as outlined in literature for the steering supplied in the Owner’s packet. NOTE The Steering Helm is the hydraulic pump for the system. The direction that the helm is turned controls check valves in the helm, which in turn determines the direction of flow to the steering cylinders. When refilling the helm with hydraulic fluid care must be taken to ensure no small particles of debris enters the system. Debris can affect the operation of the check valves, which may mean a degradation of or loss of steering capability. 4. BOAT & ENGINE TRIM TRIM TAB SYSTEM The Trim Tab System is operated with the switches on the Control Helm. These switches control the direction and amount the transom mounted trim tabs move. Power to these switches is supplied from the "TRIM TAB" switch and re-settable circuit breaker located on the switch panel. This electric-hydraulically-operated system is used to trim the running attitude of the boat while under way. If used properly, the trim tabs will aid in trimming the boat in fore and aft and side to side position, providing a better view for the helmsman and allowing an overall smoother ride and with increased efficiency. The operator should be aware that each trim tab does not operate as a unit, but are individually controlled to allow trimming to correct a listing position while under way. The double rocker switch located on the helm console actuates the trim tabs. Depressing the top of the switches lowers the tabs, which causes the bow of the boat to go down while underway. Depressing the bottom of the switches to the "UP" position allows the bow to rise. STERN RISES BOW LOWERS TABS DOWN The speed of your boat and conditions of the water will determine the extent of lowering your trim tabs. The trim tabs should always be in the "UP" position when dockside and during slow operation such as docking or slow trolling. Trim tab position in a following sea must be up. If the trim tabs are down excessively, it can affect handling characteristics and decrease steering ability and response. C-4 NOTE When backing down hard such as can occur in fishing, the extreme force on the tabs from the water can damage the trim tabs or cylinders if they are not in the full "UP" position. PORT TRIM TAB & CYLINDER ELECTRICAL HARNESS TRIM TAB PUMP TRIM TAB SWITCH STBD TRIM TAB & CYLINDER TRIM TAB SYSTEM DIAGRAM - TYPICAL The pump/reservoir for the trim tabs is located in aft center bilge area, under the aft center cockpit hatch. Check the fluid level in the reservoir before operating the trim tabs. The hydraulic fluid level can be seen through the translucent reservoir container mounted on the bottom of the pump. Hydromatic transmission fluid is used in this system to actuate the cylinders. If addition of fluid is necessary, remove the screw in the center of the top cover and lift the cover off. The small plug is removed from the corner of the pump / reservoir and fluid is added using a small funnel to bring fluid level to correct height. PUMP RESERVIOR FILL TRIM TAB PUMP C-5 Consult the trim tab owner’s manual supplied in your owner’s packet for complete instructions on the operation and maintenance of the units. ENGINE TRIM & TILT The engines Tilt/Trim system is provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Refer to the information on the operation of the Tilt/Trim system that is located in your Owner’s Pack. The Trim Buttons next to Engine Throttle/Transmission Control operates the system. Trimming the engine DOWN has the affect of lowering the bow. ENGINE TILT POSITION ENGINE UP POSITION ENGINE DOWN POSITION BOW DOWN IN ENGINE DOWN POSITION NOTE In normal conditions only a few seconds of DOWN Trim from the full UP position is necessary. The Trim button also controls the Tilt position. The engine’s electrical system must be on to tilt the engine from the Helm. NOTE When tilting an engine, observe the rigging tubes from the engine to the boat. If tilting the engine causes a tight bend in one of these tubes, it may be necessary to steer the engine one turn in a direction to relieve the tight bend. INDIVIDUAL ENG TRIM SIMALTANEOUS ENG TRIM ENGINE TRIM/TILT SWITCHES C-6 ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION 1. THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION To avoid the possibility of mechanical damage to your Engine basic instrumentation for each Engine is provided on your Intrepid. Unless specified at the time an Intrepid was ordered from the factory, your boat will be fitted with instrumentation provided by the Engine Manufacturer. The operator of this boat should become accustomed to checking the instrumentation frequently when running and particularly when first starting the Engine. Engine instrumentation gives indications as to what is happening to the engines while they are being operated. It is important that you become familiar with the appropriate reading for each instrument. This information is provided by the Engine Manufacturer and is located in your Owner’s Packet. Power is provided to an engine’s instrumentation by that engine’s electrical system. The engine’s Ignition Switch must be on for the instruments to operate. 2. BASIC ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION TACHOMETER This instrument provides a reading of Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of the engine. There is no set correlation of RPM’s to the speed of the boat. Speeds at various RPM’s should be determined by using a Speedometer or an electronic device. VOLTMETER This instrument monitor’s the amount of charge available in the engine battery. A low voltage reading when the engine is not running indicates that the battery is not at full charge. A voltage indication of 13 to 15 volts when the engine is running indicates that the battery is charging. FUEL GAUGE The electric fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank in terms of percentage of tank capacity. The fuel gauge provides a convenient but approximate indication of remaining fuel. Safe operation of this boat requires filling the fuel tank after each use and becoming familiar with fuel usage under various conditions. NOTE If your Intrepid is equipped with an auxiliary Fuel Tank but has only one Fuel Gauge, your boat has been fitted with a Main Tank / Auxiliary Tank Selector switch located on your console. Selecting MAIN will provide a fuel level reading for the Main Tank and an AUX selection will provide a fuel level reading on the Auxiliary Tank. NOTE The fuel senders mounted into the tanks are located under access plates in the cockpit deck. These senders control the electric gauge on the helm and incorporate a mechanical indication of Fuel Level on top of each sender. TRIM GAUGE The trim gauge provides an indication of the amount an engine is trimmed up or down. Monitoring this gauge will provide you with the ability to set the amount of engine trim for optimum performance. C-7 Hour Meter (Optional) This meter registers the amount of time in hours that the engine’s ignition system has been on. It is activated when the Ignition Switch is turned ON. If the hour meter is to be replaced, note the hours on the old Hour Meter. This figure must be added to the hours shown on the new Hour Meter to determine the amount of total hours an engine has run. 3. ENGINE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIED INSTRUMENTATION Unless specifically requested at the time a boat was ordered Intrepid has installed instrumentation that is provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Information on the use of Engine Manufacturer Instrumentation and the range of normal operating indications is found in the Engine Owners Manual. This manual is located in your Owner’s Pack.

Bonding H-1 SHORE POWER CORD SHORE POWER RECEPTACLE SHORE SOURCE 120VAC 30AMP SOURCE GALVANIC ISOLATOR GREEN 50 AC OUTLET 100 150 0 AC VOLTS AC OUTLET MICROWAVE GROUNDED NUETRAL BUS BAR GROUNDING BOND BUS BAR REFRIG CHARGER SHIPS POWER SPARE AIR COND SPARE GREEN WHITE SHORE POWER REVERSE POLARITY DISTRIBUTION PANEL DISTRIBUTION ACCESSORIES TRANSOM ZINC GREEN IMMERSED HARDWARE TRANSOM ZINC BONDING AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGRAM H-2 1. AC Source The Shore Power Receptacle and Distribution Panel limit the current draw of the entire AC Electrical system to 30AMPS. The Shore Power Receptacle and Shore Power Cord have plug end configurations that ensure proper AC current enters the boat’s electrical system. The configuration also limits plugging into a 30amp source only. UNGROUNDED LINE BLACK GROUNDING BOND GREEN GROUNDED NUETRAL WHITE 120VAC 30AMP PLUG CONFIGURATION NOTE A voltmeter reading between the Grounding Bond and Grounded Neutral positions of the receptacle on shore must show zero volts. A voltmeter reading of 110VAC to 120VAC should be found only between the Ungrounded Line and Grounded Neutral and between the Ungrounded Line and Grounding Bond positions of the receptacle on shore. A shore receptacle that does not give proper voltmeter readings between these positions must be re-wired. 2. Distribution The Distribution section of the AC Electrical System controls, monitors and ensures proper current flow through the AC Electrical System. The AC distribution section has four components: 1. Distribution Panel 2. Grounded Neutral Bus Bar 3. Grounding Bond Bus Bar 4. Galvanic Isolator DISTRIBUTION PANEL The AC Distribution Panel provides control and protection of the AC Electrical System on the boat. The AC Distribution Panel is divided into two sections: Distribution Accessories The Distribution section of the panel is primarily the Shore Power Circuit Breaker. This circuit breaker protects the Shore Cord and the wiring between the Shore Cord Receptacle on the boat and the Distribution Panel. The circuit breaker limits the amount of current passing thru this wiring to 30 amps. The 30 amp Shore Power Circuit Breaker must be ON if AC power is to be supplied to the accessories. Turning this circuit breaker OFF will allow no AC Power beyond the distribution panel. H-3 NOTE The Distribution Panel includes a 30 amp Ships Power Circuit Breaker as a provision for an optional Generator installation. Between the 30 amp Shore Power and 30 amp Ships Power Circuit Breaker is mechanical interlock. This interlock ensures that only one power source is supplying the Distribution Panel at a time. To energize the panel from two sources would create serious safety hazards. To turn ON the Shore Power Circuit Breaker the interlock must be moved UP so that the circuit breaker handle can be moved to the ON position. This interlock position will also ensure that the Ships Power Circuit Breaker can not be turned ON. 50 AC OUTLET 100 150 0 AC VOLTS AC OUTLET MICROWAVE REFRIG CHARGER SHIPS POWER SPARE AIR COND SPARE SHORE POWER REVERSE POLARITY AC DISTRIBUTION PANEL NOTE To protect your Shore Cord, Shore Cord Receptacle and AC equipment from undue damage from arcing and current surges it is recommended that the following procedures be used for connecting or disconnecting Shore Power to or from the AC Electrical System.

K-2 OPERATING YOUR INTREPID Before operating your Intrepid be sure you have read and understand this manual and the manuals for specific equipment included in your Owner’ Pack 1. STARTING THE ENGINES Intrepid recommends a procedure for starting the engines of your Intrepid: 1. Lift the deck hatches and inspect for excessive bilge water levels and for fuel vapors. 2. If optional bilge blowers have been installed operate for at least 4 minutes to purge the bilge areas of fuel vapors. 3. Check the oil level in the Engine Oil Reservoirs to insure a sufficient level for the length of your trip. 4. Turn the steering hard over to Port and then to Starboard. Insure that the engines move with the helm. Check the fluid level in the Steering Helm. 5. Open the Fuel Disconnect Valves at the Fuel Filters. 6. Set the Throttle/Shifter for each engine in Neutral so that the engine is not started in gear. 7. Turn the Battery Disconnect Switch for each engine to the ON position. 8. Prime the fuel lines to each engine by squeezing the Primer Bulb located at the engine’s Fuel Filter. 9. Start each engine individually with the engine Ignition Switch. The starter should never be operated for more than 15 seconds with out having allowed the starter and wiring to cool down for 2 to 3 minutes. 10. If the engine does not start after a reasonable amount of time consult the Engine Manufacturer’s Manual supplied in your Owner’s Pack. 11. Once the engine has been started check all instrument readings to insure the engine is operating within the parameters specified by the Engine Manufacturer. 12. Check that raw water is being exhausted from the engine. 13. Allow the engines to warm up before placing into gear. 2. RUNNING YOUR INTREPID You will find that the bow of the boat will begin to rise after you begin to become underway. Eventually the boat will begin to level off and assume a planing attitude as speed increases. Operating your boat with high bow angles will create large wakes and cause inefficient operation of the engines. Take note of the Engine RPM’s when you are at the highest bow angle. A cruising speed should be selected that is above or below this engine RPM. While your Intrepid was built to withstand the punishment of running fast in rough water, speed should be reduced in rough conditions to reduce the strain on the engines and components. Running aground can be a dangerous and costly occurrence. To avoid running aground you should know the draft of your boat under various loaded conditions. Full fuel and extra gear and people will make the boat float lower in the water. A boat will float lower in freshwater than in saltwater with the same load condition. To determine draft under various load conditions you must measure the vertical distance from the bottom of the engine skeg to a transom corner when the boat is out of the water and the engines trimmed full down. To determine the draft at a load condition measure the vertical distance from the transom corner to the water. Subtract the two figures. The difference is your draft. L-1 Another useful dimension to know is the height of your boat from the water under a light load condition. Using this height can prevent damage to your t-top or antennas. This height can be determined in the same manner as determining the draft of a boat. 3. PERFORMANCE Boat speed is dependent on many factors. Listed below are factors that you can address to improve the efficiency and performance of your boat. ENGINE EFFICIENCY It is necessary to follow the maintenance plan required by the Engine Manufacturer. A poorly maintained engine will not be an efficient one. Engine efficiency is a major component of boat performance. The Engine Manufacturer’s maintenance requirements are included in your Owner’s Pack. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS Atmospheric conditions also influence engine efficiency. An engine will not run as efficiently when: The air is warmer The air is drier The altitude is higher Often it is necessary to change to another propeller size when the boat operates at a higher attitude than the boat was originally fitted for to ensure that the engine operates at the recommended RPM range. PERSONAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES The total weight of the people and gear onboard has a direct effect on the performance of the boat. More weight on a boat means less performance. At times it is necessary to change to another propeller size when a significant accessory, a T-Top for example, is added to the boat to ensure the engine operates at the recommended RPM range. MARINE GROWTH Maintaining a hull bottom free of marine growth (algae and barnacles) will have a positive affect on the performance of your boat and fuel efficiency. BILGE WATER Keeping your bilge areas dry will also maintain boat performance and fuel efficiency. It requires little water to add significant weight to your boat. PROPELLORS A nicked or bent propeller will cause a loss of performance of your boat as well as create vibrations excessive enough to damage your engines or boat. If your propeller or underwater gear has been damaged operate the boat only at the lowest speed possible yet maintain the ability to steer the boat. L-2 MAINTAINING YOUR INTREPID Using a Preventative Maintenance Program on your boat will add years to the life and appearance of the boat and the hardware on it. Listed below is a maintenance program that will be sufficient for a boat that is used under average conditions. This plan should be used with the maintenance program for your engines outlined by the engine manuals included in your Owner’s Pack. Keeping the cabin and bilge areas and lockers dry and well ventilated during periods when the boat is not used will minimize the amount of preventative maintenance required. Keeping the exterior fiberglass clean and waxed will ensure good cosmetics for a long period of time. DAILY/WEEKLY MAINTENANCE 1. Keep the bilges dry and clean. Bilge debris can cause a bilge pump float switch not to operate properly. Ensure all the bilge areas drain to the compartments containing the bilge pumps by keeping the limber holes clear. 2. Open the cabin, bilge hatches and deck lockers to provide ventilation. 3. Check engine oil reservoirs for proper oil levels. 4. Check the fuel system fittings and plumbing for tightness and leaks. Check the fresh water system for leaks. 5. If required, check the battery fluid levels. Top off the batteries with distilled water as required. 6. With the engines running, check that water is being discharged through the engine’s tell-tail. 7. Check the fluid reservoir under the steering helm for proper level. Top off as required. 8. Refuel the boat to capacity after each use. Fill the fresh water system tanks to capacity after use. 9. Wash down the boat after each use with fresh water and soap. 10. Clean the Plexiglas on the boat with a “Windex” type product and a soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or acetone to clean Plexiglas. 11. Stainless Steel and aluminum fittings and hardware should be cleaned after each use with fresh water and soap. Stainless Steel will bleed and discolor after a period of time. To minimize this bleeding Stainless Steel fittings and hardware should have a periodic application of a passivator like ”Never-Dull”. 12. Apply a liberal coat of a protective oil spray (CRC or WD-40) to any metal parts, particularly moving metal parts. Apply the spray to wire connections in the bilge area and under the console. 100 HOURS OR 60 DAYS (whichever comes first) Exterior of the boat 1. Open the bilge hatches and locker doors to provide an extended period of ventilation. 2. Inspect all hardware for tightness and corrosion. Tighten loose fasteners and apply a protective coating as required. 3. Wash down any area that has mildew with a mild bleach and water solution. Wash off the solution with fresh water and soap. Do not use any solvents like acetone. 4. Inspect the canvas and covers on your boat for tears, fraying and cleanliness. Have any tears or fraying repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Clean the canvas and covers with fresh water and soap. A small amount of bleach can be added to the soap and water solution, Rinse the canvas and covers with fresh water after cleaning. M-1 5. Inspect the clear vinyl enclosure panels for tears and cleanliness. Have any tears repaired as soon as possible. Clean the vinyl with a “Windex” type product and a soft cloth. Clear vinyl will yellow after a period of time. 6. Inspect the zincs on the hull and your engines. Replace any zinc that has corroded to half of its original size. 7. If you have any exterior teak on your boat you may wish to oil it. There are several good teak care systems available. Follow the directions for the teak care system you select, teak oils can discolor fiberglass. 8. Check the lower gear case fluid level of your engines per the instructions found in the manuals provided by the Engine Manufacturer. Interior of the boat 1. Open the cabin door, overhead hatch, port lights, drawers, hatches and locker doors to provide an extended period of ventilation. 2. Wash down any area that has mildew with a mild bleach and water solution. Wash off the solution with fresh water and soap. Do not use any solvents like acetone. Check a small non-visible area of any fabric with the bleach solution to ensure the colorfastness of the fabric. 3. Make any adjustment to the hinges and catches of doors, hatches and drawers. Realign as required. 4. Inspect all fire extinguishers for a full and proper charge. Replace any fire extinguisher immediately that does not have a full charge. 5. Inspect all life jackets for cleanliness tears and completeness. Replace any faulty life jacket immediately. Bilge Areas 1. Check all fuel system fittings and plumbing for tightness and leaks. 2. Check all seacocks and ball valves to ensure they operate freely and in the full range of motion. 3. Check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as required. 4. Check all electrical wiring insulation for chafing. Replace any wire that is chafed. 5. Clean out the limber holes between the bilge areas to ensure no standing water remains in a bilge area. 6. Inspect all plumbing system fittings and plumbing for tightness and leaks. Tighten any loose fittings found. Control Helm 1. Check the operation of all switches, instruments and controls. 2. Check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as required. Fiberglass and Gelcoat All the visible areas of the fiberglass that makes up most of your boat is covered with a glossy and colored coating of Gelcoat. Gelcoat is a polyester resin with added pigments for color. The following procedure will help keep your Gelcoat looking like new. The color in gelcoat will tend to fade after a period of time in the sun. The original gloss of your gelcoat can be maintained by keeping your gelcoat clean, waxed and buffed Cleaning Gelcoat 1. Wash the Gelcoated areas with fresh water and soap. A suitable soap would be dishwashing detergent. 2. Use a soft cloth on smooth areas and a stiff bristle brush on non-skidded areas. 3. Rinse the areas with fresh water after washing or scrubbing. M-2 4. If an abrasive soap (like “Soft Scrub”) or a fine rubbing compound is used on a stained Gelcoated area that area must be re-waxed. Waxing and Buffing Gelcoat 1. Complete steps 1 thru 4 above. 2. Wax the smooth gelcoated areas with a high quality automotive or boat wax that has been formulated for fiberglass and gelcoat. 3. Buff the waxed areas. A power buffer will make the job easier but care must be taken that the buffer does not remove the gelcoat (especially in corners) by allowing the buffer to remain in a position for too long of a period of time. M-3 LEAVING YOUR INTREPID There may be times when you must leave your Intrepid. If the following procedures are observed and practiced your boat will be as you left it when you return. SHORT TERM When leaving the boat for a few hours: 1. Turn OFF all electrical accessories and the engine ignition circuits. 2. Ensure the Bilge Pumps are functioning in the Automatic Mode. This can be accomplished by lifting the free end of the Bilge Pump float switches. 3. Lock all doors, hatches and portlights. 4. Make sure all the mooring lines are well secured with adequate slack to provide for the rise and fall of the tide. 5. Set out the mooring bumpers to protect the hull and deck sides. LONG TERM When leaving your Intrepid for a few days: 6. Complete steps 1 thru 5 above. 7. Turn all Battery Disconnect Switches OFF 8. Close all seacocks. 9. Close all Fuel Disconnect Valves. STORING When placing your boat in dry storage: 1. Remove the garboard drain thru-hull at the very bottom of the transom to drain the bilge areas. Open all seacocks to drain any water in the plumbing. 2. If the boat is being stored in a climate and for a length of time that requires winterization drain all water tanks, plumbing and pumps of water. Add a recreational drinking water anti-freeze to any plumbing that can not be completely drained. 3. Open all interior drawers and locker doors. 4. If being stored in a covered area open portlights slightly to provide air circulation. 5. Dry out any ice chests and leave the hatch or lid open slightly. 6.
