Baja® Marine Corporation welcomes you into our worldwide and ever-expanding family of boating enthusiasts. The Owner’s Manual Packet, to be kept on board your Baja, gives you important information on the features of your Baja. Take the time to carefully review the information in your Owner’s Manual Packet and really get to know your boat. Everyone that operates the boat should read this manual. The Owner’s Manual Packet contains the following: • Owner’s Manual: The Owner’s Manual gives you important operating and safety information, as well as reminders about your responsibilities as a boat owner/operator. • Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Information: This section of your Owner’s Manual Packet contains information from the manufacturers of equipment installed on your boat. Examples include the engine, engine control and steering system. Throughout the Owner’s Manual you will be referred to information provided by manufacturers of specific systems. Because your purchase represents a substantial investment, we know you will want to take the necessary measures to protect its value. We have outlined a program for proper operation, periodic maintenance and safety inspections. We urge you to follow these recommendations. If you have questions which are not fully covered by the Owner’s Manual Packet, please consult your authorized dealer for assistance. Thank You For Selecting A Baja®! ii 202 Islander® this page intentionally left blank Introduction 1. This Manual The material within this manual and your 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 • 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 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 your boat: In addition to the registration requirements for your boat in the state where it is 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 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 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: 1-865-971-6270. 5. 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 Baja® warranty is on the warranty information card in your packet and is repeated in this section. 6. Hull Identification Number (HIN) The “Hull Identification Number” located on the starboard side of the transom, is the most important identifying factor and must be included in all correspondence and orders. Failure to include it creates delays. Also of vital importance are the engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing about or ordering 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 As a boat manufacturer, Baja builds its products to guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971.
