Documents and Forms<br />
Your <strong>Hunter</strong> dealer completes the Pre-Delivery<br />
Inspection Report<br />
(Fig. 2.1) before you take delivery<br />
of your boat. It is the dealer’s responsibility to both you<br />
and to <strong>Hunter</strong> to give your boat a final inspection. The<br />
purpose of this inspection is to assure proper adjustment<br />
and operation of the entire vessel. Your dealer should<br />
provide you with the Pre-Delivery Inspection Report at<br />
the time of delivery.<br />
<strong>Hunter</strong> will not pay warranty costs for items that should<br />
have been covered in the pre-delivery service inspection<br />
and recorded on the Pre-Delivery Inspection Report.<br />
Owners must coordinate with the dealer to insure<br />
<strong>Hunter</strong> warranty registration is completed and returned<br />
to <strong>Hunter</strong>.<br />
Inserted at the end of this section are several records<br />
you will find helpful.<br />
Use the BOAT RECORD (Fig. 2.2) to record all important<br />
information about your boat and its equipment. After<br />
your dealer has recorded all the information, remove the<br />
record from your Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong> and store in a safe<br />
place. Do not keep this form aboard your boat.<br />
The FLOAT PLAN (Fig 2.4) provides a record of your<br />
destination, departure and return times, boat description,<br />
passenger list, and other information about the trip<br />
you have planned. At the bottom of the form is space for<br />
listing emergency phone numbers in case your return<br />
is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for<br />
indicating information about the person filling the report.<br />
Leave the completed form ashore with a responsible<br />
person. We recommend you make several copies of this<br />
form each boating season to make sure you have a good<br />
supply.<br />
The MAINTENANCE LOG (Fig 2.5) helps to keep maintenance<br />
records in one place. Using this log will allow<br />
you to track maintenance work that has been completed<br />
and to determine when maintenance is required. Your<br />
dealer will also find this information helpful. If you decide<br />
to sell your boat, the maintenance record will make your<br />
boat seeable because it tells prospective buyers that you<br />
have taken good care of your boat.<br />
The ACCIDENT REPORT, No one likes to think about<br />
having a boating accident, but boating accidents do<br />
happen. You must file an accident report after a boating<br />
accident just as you must file an accident report after an<br />
automobile accident. A copy of the U.S. Coast Guard<br />
Accident Report is included at the end of this section.<br />
You can get more copies of the report by calling the U.S.<br />
Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline at 1-800-368-5674.<br />
You must file this report with the U.S. Coast Guard within<br />
48 hours after an accident resulting in one of the<br />
following:<br />
A person disappears from a vessel under circumstances<br />
that indicate death or injury<br />
Personal injury requiring medical treatment beyond first<br />
aid<br />
Damage to the vessel or property damage<br />
Complete loss of the vessel<br />
State statutes determine whether you must file an<br />
accident report in this case. An accident report must be<br />
filed if the damage exceeds a threshold dollar value as<br />
established by the states, the threshold is $100-$200.<br />
Call the Boating Safety Hotline (800-368-5647) to verify<br />
the threshold for a particular state.<br />
Note: State and local agencies may also have accident<br />
reporting requirements. Check with local enforcement<br />
agencies or with your local <strong>Hunter</strong> dealer regarding local<br />
requirements.<br />
All <strong>Hunter</strong> boats are built in compliance with applicable<br />
United States Coast Guard regulations and recommendations<br />
at the time of construction.<br />
<strong>Hunter</strong> boats comply with the standards developed by<br />
the National Marine Manufactures Association (NMMA)<br />
for its Boat Certification Program.<br />
The locator drawings will help you find the location of<br />
devices and equipment.<br />
NOTE: Efforts have been made to make the drawings in<br />
this manual consistent with production. However, in the<br />
effort to improve this vessel, modifications have been<br />
made in the design that may date some of the drawings<br />
in this manual.<br />
On the next few pages you will find sample forms<br />
for some of the issues dealing with your new boat.<br />
Familiarize yourself with these forms, use them, they can<br />
be very handy.<br />
