Performance Boating
Your Nautique boat is a high performance boat. DO NOT be
tempted to push your boat to its limits until you are completely
familiar with its operating characteristics.
Nautique boats are the ones of choice of the better professional
and amateur ski shows and tournaments. You may have seen drivers
put their Nautique through extreme maneuvers. These drivers are
paid professionals on a closed course with hundreds of hours of
experience. DO NOT attempt extreme maneuvers without proper
training.
We recommend that you never operate the boat without first
having an initial orientation and familiarization/demonstration
ride with your dealer or an operator experienced with the
boat/engine combination. All boats perform differently.
The operator should have at least ten hours of experience with the
boat before any full throttle operation. DO NOT operate your boat
until you are completely experienced with its handling
characteristics.
Propellers
Your Nautique boat is equipped with a propeller best matched to its
engine and boat combination. If you feel you are experiencing
poor performance, contact your Nautique dealer. Care and
selection of your propeller is very important to proper boat
operation.
Failure to maintain control can result in
death or serious injury. Always keep one hand on the
steering wheel and the other on the control lever. If the
boat begins to operate in an unsafe way, adjust speed
and course as necessary to regain control.
