Info

• Steering systems• Backfire flame arrestersNMMA certification means that the boat complieswith applicable Federal regulations set forth by theU.S. Coast Guard. These regulations are based onAmerican Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standardsand recommended practices.Hull Identification LocationService, Parts, And Repair For Your BoatFor service, parts, or repair, take your boat to anauthorized Chaparral dealer. To find dealers in yourarea, call: 1-229-686-7481 (Domestic) or visitchaparralboats.com.To find repair and parts facilities for the equipmentinstalled on your boat, please refer to the manual forthat component.If a problem is not handled to your satisfaction:• Discuss any warranty-related problems directlywith the service manager of the dealership oryour salesperson. Give the dealer an opportunityto help the service department resolve thematter for you.• If a problem arises that has not been resolved toyour satisfaction by your dealer, contactChaparral Boats at 1-229-686-7481 and theappropriate customer service department informationwill be provided to you.CONSTRUCTION AND STANDARDSAll Chaparral boats meet or exceed the constructionstandards set by the U.S. Coast Guard, the NationalMarine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and theAmerican Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) concerning:• Navigation lights• Factory-installed fuel systems• Engine and fuel tank compartment ventilation• FlotationAll Chaparral models can be certified to carry the CEmark. The CE mark certifies that the boat meets relevantparts of the European Directive forRecreational Craft 94/25/EC of the EuropeanParliament, including the International Organizationfor Standards (ISO) and Recreational MarineAgreement Group (RMAG) guidelines in effect atthe time of manufacture.We recommend that you see your dealer if you wishto modify factory-installed equipment or add newequipment. Your dealer is qualified to make suchmodifications or additions without placing the safetyor design integrity of your boat at risk and withoutinvalidating the warranty.Chaparral builds exceptionally high-quality boats.We offer numerous extras you won’t see at a boatshow. We’ve created a list for your review.GelcoatThe advanced technology polyester we use offerssuperior weathering resistance to surface yellowingand chalking. It will also help protect and maintainthe original glossy luster of your boat’s finish.Chaparral uses a premium quality gelcoat whichoffers improved flexibility over other gelcoats, minimizingthe potential for cracking.ResinIt’s an age-old problem. Water penetrates the gelcoatand eats at the outermost layer of fiberglass causingblisters on the bottom. Your yacht has a premiumquality blister barrier between the gelcoat and firstlayer of fiberglass. It’s an extra layer of security youwon’t find in most boats.1-2
PlywoodTo protect their wooden components from rot anddeterioration, most boat builders dip their plywoodparts in a vat of protective sealant. Unfortunately, thisonly offers very minimal protection for the outsideplies. The plywood Chaparral uses throughout ourboats is pressure treated with a wood preservativeand fungi-inhibiting chemical before it is kiln dried.Loom Wrap WiringAttention to rigging detail is a Chaparral hallmark.Instead of routing the engine wiring harness haphazardlyin the bilge in black tape, we rely on automotive-styleflexguard loom that not only keepsthings neat but also protects against abrasion.Through Bolted Stainless Steel CleatsIt’s one of the most often used components on yourboat, but most people think a cleat is a cleat, right?Wrong. Chaparral’s cleats are stainless steel, sothey won’t corrode or twist. Also, ours are big enoughto accept a full-sized looped line.Heavy-Duty Rub RailA rub rail is supposed to protect your boat. Mostdon’t because they’re the wrong material. Chaparraluses a heavy-duty PVC rub rail with stainless steelinsert that absorbs far more impact without denting.Acoustical FoamThe name says it all. Acoustical foam is the bestway we’ve found to absorb engine noise.Acrylic TopsOurs are acrylic because it’s a superior material thatwon’t crack, peel, or mildew. Furthermore, ouracrylic tops won’t shrink or expand, which meansthey look and fit better in all weather conditions.Stain Resistant FabricsAccidents happen — spilled drinks, wet bathingsuits, and soggy towels are a fact of life on a boat.All of our cabin fabrics are stain resistant. Buyerscan choose from a wide variety of colors. When itcomes to interior fabrics, we have the one that’sright for you.Superior Plastics vs. WoodChaparral prides itself on building seats that are notonly comfortable, but durable. We use plastic seatsbecause they hold their shape and don’t retainwater, reducing the potential for foam deterioration.Flotation RequirementsAll Chaparral boats meet or exceed U.S. CoastGuard requirements for flotation. All Chaparralinboard/outboard and inboard powered boats alsomeet or exceed U.S. Coast Guard requirements forthe following:• Engine and fuel tank compartment ventilation(requirements for flame arresting devices)• Factory-installed fuel systems• Navigation lights• Steering systemLAWS AND REGULATIONSThis section of the manual includes general informationabout government regulations.
