1. This Manual
The material here and in the rest of the Owner’s Information Packet:
• Gives you basic safety information;
• Describes the fundamentals of boat use;
• Describes the features of your boat;
• Describes the equipment on your boat;
• Contains service and maintenance information.
Youmust learn tosafelyoperate thisboataswellasread,understandandusetheinformationcontainedinthispackage.
What these manuals do not give you is a course in boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor, or dock your 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;
• Register:
You must register this boat in the state where it will be used most frequently, many states require additional registration when an out-of-state boat is used within their boundaries.
Contact state boating authorities or any marine dealer for registration requirements.
3. sources 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 predelivery 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 Check List” 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 Owner Information Package.
If you do not receive all of these materials, or have any questions, contact your dealer.
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. The Sea Ray® Express Limited Warranty is on the warranty information sheet and in this manual. Please locate and read the individual warranties.
6. hull iDenTificaTion nuMber (hin)The “Hull Identification Number”, (Fig. ix.1) will be located either on the starboard side of the transom, or on the aft, starboard side of the gunwale, and is your boat’s most important identifying factor. This number must be included in all correspondence and orders. Failure to include it creates delays. Also of vital importance is the engine serial number and part number when writing about or ordering parts for your engine. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for location of engine serial number and record it for future reference.

8. service, parTs anD repair for Your boaT
When your boat needs service, parts or repair, take it to an authorized Sea Ray® dealer. To find a dealer in your area contact Sea Ray® via the internet at www.searay.com (international customers please visit international.searay.com).
To find repair and parts facilities for the equipment installed on your boat, refer to the section or manual for that component.
If a problem is not handled to your satisfaction:
1. Discuss any warranty-related problems directly with the service manager of the dealership or your sales person. Give the dealer an opportunity to help the service department resolve the matter for you.
2. If a problem arises that has not been resolved to your satisfaction by your dealer, contact Sea Ray® via the internet at www.searay.com and the appropriate customer service information will be provided to you.
9. WarranTY inforMaTion
You will find information regarding the Sea Ray® warranty following the introduction. A warranty information card is also included in the owner information packet. If for some reason this information missing, contact your Sea Ray® dealer.
7. ManufacTurer’s cerTificaTion
As a boat manufacturer, Sea Ray® builds their products to guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Act is promulgated by the United States Coast Guard who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manufacturers that sell products in the United States. Sea Ray® ensures that all of its products comply with these laws.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) provides Sea Ray® with a third party certification. The NMMA is an organization that represents the marine industry and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, marinas, repair yards and component suppliers in areas of legislation, environmental concerns, marine business growth and state and federal government agency interaction. The third party certification that Sea Ray® participates in, uses the well known Standards and Recommended Practices of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).
Sea Ray® Boats participates extensively in the American Boat and Yacht Council which is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards and recommended practices for boat and equipment design, construction, service and repair. We utilize all applicable ABYC standards in the construction of your Sea Ray® boat.
Finally, Sea Ray® sells their products world wide and as such must conform to the various rules and regulations required by other countries. Most notably, are the ISO standards in Europe which require the application of the Common European (CE) mark. This mark, much like the NMMA certification here in the US, gives you the boat owner specific information concerning your craft.
