1.5 Equipment Manufacturer <strong>Manual</strong>s<br />
<strong>Hunter</strong> purchased various equipment and components<br />
from other manufacturers and installed them on your<br />
boat while it was being built. Examples include the<br />
engines, pumps, and the generator. Most OEMs (Original<br />
Equipment Manufacturers) have provided operation and<br />
maintenance manuals for your boat’s equipment. Keep<br />
OEM manuals with your <strong>Hunter</strong> <strong>Operator's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> in a<br />
safe and accessible place. Be sure to pass them along<br />
to the new owner if you sell your boat.<br />
info can be found in the Warranty section, chapter 3 of<br />
the <strong>Operator's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>.<br />
1.7 Hull Identification Number (HIN)<br />
The "Hull Identification Number" located on the starboard<br />
aft side, is the most important identifying factor, and must<br />
be included in all correspondence and orders. Failure<br />
to include it creates delays. Also of vital importance are<br />
the engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing<br />
about or ordering parts for your engine. Refer to the<br />
engine manufacturers manuals for locations of engine<br />
serial numbers, and record them for future reference.<br />
US-HUNPCXXXDXXX<br />
Hull Number format:<br />
“US” - country origin, “HUN” - Manufacturer, “C” - length<br />
code, “XXX” - hull number, “D” - month code, “X” - year<br />
code, “XX” - model year<br />
1.8 Manufacturers Certifications<br />
As a boat manufacturer <strong>Hunter</strong> builds their products to<br />
guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act<br />
of 1971. The act is promulgated by the U.S. Coast Guard<br />
who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manufacturers<br />
that sell products in the United States. <strong>Hunter</strong><br />
ensures that all of it's products comply with these laws.<br />
NOTE: The OEM manuals take precedence over the<br />
<strong>Hunter</strong> <strong>Operator's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>. If information in the <strong>Hunter</strong><br />
<strong>Operator's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> differs from that in the OEM manuals,<br />
follow the information in the OEM manuals.<br />
1.6 Warranties<br />
Nearly all OEM equipment has its own limited warranties.<br />
Warranty registration cards are in your Operator’s<br />
packet.<br />
Locate and read the individual warranties; put them<br />
together for easy, future reference.<br />
For international owner's; your warranty can be found in<br />
your CE compliant Owner's <strong>Manual</strong>.<br />
For U.S. and non-EU compliant countries, your warranty<br />

ABYC standards in the construction of <strong>Hunter</strong> boats.<br />

such must conform to the various rules and regulations<br />
required by other countries. Most notably are the ISO
