Passenger Locations
Deck Occupancy
Fig. 2.6.1
Working deck
This area is intended for occupation
ONLY while mooring, anchoring,
loading/unloading or when the boat
is at rest. NEVER operate the engine
while loading or unloading swimmers
or divers.
Accommodation deck
This area of the boat is inside the cockpit
and includes helm seating. Movement
in this area should be done with extreme
caution while the boat is underway. A
sudden shift in boat direction can cause
a loss of balance and lead to injury or
death.
! DANGER
Be aware of your footing while the boat is
underway, slipping or falling could result
in serious injury or death, especially if the
boat is in motion or in rough seas. Keep the
accommodation deck clean, so if movement is
necessary it will be free of obstruction.
! WARNING
• Gelcoat surfaces are slippery when wet.
Use extreme caution when walking on wet
surfaces.
• Never occupy the working decks while the
boat is underway.
• Use care when waxing to ensure that
walkways are not made dangerously
slippery.

NOTICE
• Depending on the type of boat you have, you may have underwater fittings. Any fitting that will be underwater
needs to be plugged or the seacock needs to be closed.
• Through hull fittings should be checked for proper seal annually. When the boat is in the water the underwater
fittings can be checked for dripping. It is recommended that the underwater fittings be removed, cleaned and resealed
every other year.
• If the through hull fittings need to be replaced, it is recommended that an authorized Boston Whaler ® dealer perform
this type of repair. Through hull fittings that are improperly installed can cause premature hull failure and may void the
Boston Whaler® limited warranty.
• A standard 1” “Snap-Tite” plug can be used to replace the drain plug(s) in your boat. It is recommended that you carry
spare plugs to be used in the event that the drain plug(s) issued with your boat become lost or damaged.

obscurred. Motor trim, hull trim plane and speed
are factors that affect a boat’s trim angle.
