  • Page 8: Section 1: Safety

    The precautions listed in this Owner’s Manual and on the boat are not all-inclusive. If a procedure, method, tool, or part is not specifically recommended by NauticStar, using it may place you and others in an unsafe situation; in addition, you may render your warranty void.

  • Page 9: Safety Afloat

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL NATIONAL SAFE BOATING COUNCIL 9500 Technology Drive Suite 104 Manassas, VA 20110 (730) 361-4294 www.safeboatingcouncil.org U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY 2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave, SE Washington, DC 20593-7501 (202)267-1001 www.uscg.mil http://www.uscgboating.org SAFETY AFLOAT The cause of many boating accidents is often the operator’s failure to follow basic safety rules or written precautions. Many accidents can be avoided if an operator is completely familiar with the boat, its operation, and can recognize potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.

  • Page 10: Hazardous Operations

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS There are a number of situations which can result in peril for boats and persons on board. Among these is boating too close to dam spillways, where turbulence and strong currents can result in loss of control of the vessel. These areas as well as other hazardous areas are usually marked.

  • Page 11: Carbon Monoxide (Co)

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of long-term carbon monoxide exposure can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations.

  • Page 12: Where C0 May Accumulate

    NauticStar recommends using the driver seat bolster or standing to maintain a safe lookout and proper visibility when necessary. Everyone on board should always pay attention to other vessels, people and objects located near the boat, activities taking place in or near the water, and should always be supportive of the boat operator.

  • Page 13: Personal Flotation Devices (Pfds) And Accessibility

    • PFDs should never be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them. • The U.S. Coast Guard, as well as NauticStar, always recommends the wearing of PFDs when the vessel is underway, even though it is not a requirement.

  • Page 14: Capsizing

    Ascertain whether there is damage to the hull. If water can be stopped from entering the boat, cautiously return to dock. Have the boat checked out by your authorized NauticStar dealer to be certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water does not intrude initially, difficulties may occur later.

  • Page 15: Section 2: Equipment

    We suggest the following equipment as a minimum (your NauticStar dealer can also assist you with additional recommendations): •...

  • Page 16: Visual Distress Signals

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL • Two short blasts: PASS ON MY STARBOARD SIDE. • Three short blasts: MY ENGINES ARE IN REVERSE. • Five or more blasts: DANGER! NOTE: The requirement to carry a bell on board no longer applies to vessels operating on International Waters.

  • Page 17: Navigational Lights

    WARNING LABELS Warning labels are placed on your NauticStar boat at the time of manufacture to alert operators to potential hazards that may not be obvious. These labels also indicate how to avoid hazards. Warning labels should never be removed and must remain legible.

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL FLOAT PLAN A “float plan” is a written record indicating the planned destination and approximate length of time for the outing. Sample forms are available at the Coast Guard’s website. One should be completed and left with a relative or friend prior to each trip.

  • Page 43: Inflatable Life Rafts

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL INFLATABLE LIFE RAFTS An inflatable life raft can provide a survival platform for an extended period. Be sure the life raft is large enough for everyone on board when the boat operates offshore. It should have the appropriate emergency equipment pack and should be professionally serviced periodically, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Page 44: Section 5: Rules Of The Open Water

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL SECTION 5: RULES OF THE OPEN WATER Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that apply when driving a boat on the water. These rules are used internationally, and they are enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies.
  • Page 45 XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Meeting If you are meeting another vessel head-on, and you are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right of-way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. (This rule does not apply if both of you can clear each other by continuing your set course and speed.)

  • Page 46: Sailing Vessel Right-Of-Way

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Overtaking If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way as you clear it, altering course and speed, as necessary. Conversely, if you are being passed by another vessel, you are the stand-on vessel, and you should maintain your speed and direction so that the vessel can be steered around you.

  • Page 47: Reading Buoys And Other Markers

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL • When preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct your view of other water vessels, you should sound a prolonged blast on the horn or with a whistle for four (4) to six (6) seconds. Even if no reply is heard, you should still proceed around the bend with caution.
  • Page 48 XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Control Buoy: Marks a restricted area such as “slow no-wake,” “5 MPH, no skiing or no fishing.” Mooring Buoy: Means an anchor buoy. This is the only buoy to which a boat may tie or secure to.

  • Page 58: Lifting The Boat

    LIFTING THE BOAT When the boat is hoisted from the water, proper use of the stern eyes or a sling system is required for all NauticStar XTS models. Though stern eyes are designed to lift a boat from the water, care must be taken to ensure you do not damage your boat.

  • Page 59: Section 7: System Description And Operation

    The function of the bilge pump is to remove water that collects in the bilge, which is the bottom of the inside of the hull. Your NauticStar XTS will have either 1 or 2 bilge pumps depending on the options selected. Bilge pumps are accessed through the access plate located in the splash well.

  • Page 60: Propulsion

    The Auto bilge pump will always be powered and automatically switch on when the water level in the bilge is high enough to raise the float. The auto bilge pump comes standard on all NauticStar boats, and it will always be present even if a secondary manual bilge pump is added.

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL VENTILATION NauticStar boats are naturally ventilated. Refer to Section 1: Safety for information and tips on how to prevent the accumulation of harmful vapors and fumes. FUEL SYSTEMS Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within fifty (50) feet of the fueling area when fueling.

Access to tank can be gained by removing the access cover found underneath the leaning post. Filters The fuel water separator for XTS models is mounted to the transom wall in the bilge area for all Yamaha and some Mercury engines.

  • Page 64: Waste Systems

    WASTE SYSTEMS None of the NauticStar XTS models come equipped with a waste holding system. The 227 and the 249 have an optional head; however, these will only be able to be used with a portable style toilet. It is the operator’s responsibility to safely and legally discharge any waste.

    Please take a few minutes to read this section of the Owner’s Manual completely before using your trailer for the first time. If you still have questions after reviewing this information, be sure to contact an authorized NauticStar dealer. It is important that any and all trailer operators possess as much knowledge as possible.

  • Page 70: Load-Carrying Capacity

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Parking When parking, try to avoid parking on steep grades. If possible, have someone outside to guide you as you park. Once stopped, but before shifting into park, have someone place blocks on the downhill side of the trailer wheels. Apply the parking brake, shift into park, and then remove your foot from the brake pedal.

  • Page 71: On Road Operation Tips

    Use Common Sense NauticStar cannot anticipate every type of situation in which drivers may find themselves. The following recommendations apply to general situations, but it is up to the individual driver to properly and safely act or react as a given situation requires.
  • Page 72 XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL Avoid Sudden Steering Maneuvers These may create sway or undue side force on the trailer. To control swaying caused by air pressure changes and wind buffeting when larger vehicles pass from either direction, release the accelerator pedal to slow down. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel.

    XTS SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL important to allow the brakes to avoid overheating. Don’t hesitate to pull over when possible during or after severe braking situations and allow the system to cool down. Running a stretch of highway where braking is not necessary is the quickest way to cool down the brake system because it allows a significant volume of air to flow through the vented rotors and over the brake pads.

    It is these layers that give the boat its strength and maintain the hull shape. Even though NauticStar has carefully crafted boats from resilient materials, it is still the responsibility of the boat owner to perform regular and routine cleaning maintenance to ensure that the boat exterior, interior and components retain both their appearance and strength.
