Safeguard the information about your boat by recording the Hull Identification Number (HIN) and model of your boat on the inside front cover of this manual. The HIN is located on the upper starboard corner of the transom. The HIN must be clearly visible at all times and must not be removed, altered or tampered with in any way. The Identification Number is very important! Keep a copy of this number stored in a safe place off the boat. In case of theft, damage, warranty claims, etc., report this number to the local authorities, your insurance agent and your dealer.
