Registering your boat is important to you. Federal Law requires that all powered, undocumented

vessels be registered in their state of principal use. Contact the appropriate agency in your local

state to obtain specific registration information.

5HSRUWLQJ%RDWLQJ$FFLGHQWV

All boating accidents must be reported to the proper authorities in the state that the accident

occurred. If someone dies or disappears as a result of the recreational boating accident, it must

be reported immediately, with a formal report being made within 48 hours. If there is damage of

more than $500, or if the boat is completely lost, a formal report must be made within 10 days.

Questions regarding accidents may be directed to the Boating Safety Hotline, 800-368-5647.

Whether or not you are an experienced boater, attending a Boating Education Course can be

beneficial. If you are inexperienced, it is the best, safest way to begin your life on the water. If you

are an experienced boater, it’s always good to sharpen your skills.

5HTXLUHG(TXLSPHQW

The U.S. Coast Guard requires certain equipment on each boat. In addition, they also set

minimum equipment and safety standards. For more detailed requirement information, obtain

The helm station is the control center for the boat. The main control systems are the engine

throttle and shift controls, the steering system, and the trim tab controls. These provide the

operator the ability to control speed, direction, boat trim, and attitude. Each manufacturer provides

manuals on the operation and use of their systems.

6WHHULQJ6\VWHP

*HQHUDO

The manual that comes with your steering system provides specific information on your steering

system.

The standard hydraulic steering system has three main components: a helm assembly and dual

hydraulic cylinders connected by a tie-bar. Turning the helm, which pumps fluid into the hydraulic

hoses, activates the hydraulic cylinders and causes the motors to turn. The helm acts as both

pump and reservoir. Please see diagram in the manual’s appendix for a visual representation of

this system.

While running at slow speeds, most boats tend to wander slightly back and forth. Keeping the

wheel in the center without overcompensating for the slight wandering will prevent over steering

and reduce the tendency to wander.



6WHHULQJ6\VWHP0DLQWHQDQFH

Routine system inspection should occur regularly. Cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies

should be inspected for wear, corrosion, cracking, or deterioration. Cleaning and light grease

should be applied to all exposed metal parts and other damaged or deteriorated parts should be

replaced as soon as possible

(QJLQH7KURWWOHDQG6KLIW&RQWUROV

Refer to the engine manual supplied with your engine for specific information on your controls.

The ones depicted are those supplied by Yamaha.

There are three major components of the engine throttle and shift controls: handles, throttle cable,

shift cable. Throttle and shift cables are push-pull and are connected to the fuel system

(carburetor or fuel injection) and the other to the shift rod linkage. By moving the handles forward

and back, the operator engages the cables thus controlling the amount of fuel being used and the

gear selector for forward, neutral and reverse. Careful use of the controls provides smooth,

responsive and safe operation.

This device is designed to shut down the engine in the event that the operator is thrown away

from the helm station. The operator should always wear the engine stop switch lanyard while the

boat is in motion. Pulling the lanyard from the control will stop the engine. If the engine will not

crank properly, the lanyard may not be properly attached to the engine stop switch.

Your new EdgeWater 3CC is designed to be powered by dual outboard motors only. Most 2-

cycle outboards currently use an automatic system to mix the oil with the gasoline before the

engine uses it. If equipped with 2-cycle engines, there will be oil tanks located inside the

mechanical access space and the oil fills will be located on the motorwell side of the aft deck.

Make sure the oil tanks always have a sufficient amount of the recommended 2-cycle oil for your

cruise, plus some reserve. 4-cycle engines require oil be maintained in the crankcase. Always

check the crankcase oil level before each day’s run.

Each manufacturer provides manuals designed to assist you in the proper operation and

maintenance of your new engine(s). Follow their guidance and schedules for proper operation of

your new engine(s). With a modern outboard there is little to do as long as proper maintenance is

performed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the boat is to be kept in

saltwater for an extended period, electrolysis and marine growth can become a problem. When

leaving your boat in salt water overnight or for an extended period, tilt the engine(s) as high out of

the water as possible. This will decrease the possibility of marine growth on the outside of the

engine(s), as well as reduce the potential of marine growth compromising the cooling water inlets

in the lower unit(s), which can cause overheating.

Most outboard engines are cooled by water taken in through ports in the lower part of the drive

section. Make sure these ports are free of debris or other items that might cause the flow to be

restricted. Maintain a routine vigilance to see that the visual inspection streams have a steady

flow of water. If they do not, shut down the engine to see if they are clogged or if there is a more

serious problem. Be especially watchful if you have gone through an area of vegetation or

shallow water as the intake ports can become clogged with weeds, dirt or other debris.

A turning propeller moves the boat through the water, forward or backward. They should always

be clean and free from nicks or dings, which can adversely affect performance. Your dealer can

assist you in the proper selection of a propeller for your boat. This selection is based on the

horsepower of the engine and its relationship to the size and weight of the boat.

Propeller sizes are determined by two numbers, which appear on different propellers at various

locations. They are listed in sequence, for example 13 x 17. The first number is the diameter of

the propeller and the second is the pitch. Pitch is the theoretical distance the propeller moves

through the water with each complete revolution, the larger the number the greater the theoretical

movement. It also follows that the larger the number the greater horsepower is required to turn it.

With a load which is “normal”, or usual for your boating activities, the engine should be able to

reach its maximum operating RPM range at wide open throttle (WOT). With a light load on

smooth water, the engine should reach its manufacturer’s rated maximum operating RPM at wide-

open throttle (WOT) and maximum trim. If it does not, you may have a propeller that has too

much pitch. If it goes beyond the maximum recommended RPM range, you may have too little

pitch. Neither condition is good for the engine. You will get shorter engine life and poorer

performance than your boat and motor were designed to provide.

The power tilt and trim system on your outboard(s) provides the ability to optimize the running

angle of your EdgeWater 3CC to allow for load and sea conditions. Moving the outboard lower

unit toward the transom is generally referred to as trimming “in”, while moving the outboard lower

unit away from the transom is referred to trimming “out”. It is generally best to have the engine(s)

trimmed in for acceleration from displacement to planning mode. This brings the bow down and

requires less fuel and effort on the engine’s part to plane off the hull.

The first 20

o

of movement aft of the transom is referred to as trim and is the area generally used to

operate the boat while on plane. The area beyond the first 20

o

is referred to as tilt and is usually

reserved for operating in shallow water or pulling up on a beach.

While running under normal conditions, the bow should be in a 3

o

to 5

o

up angle to maximize the

hull’s ride and performance. When sea conditions are rougher than normal, bringing the bow

slightly down may improve the ride and will also allow the boat to remain on plane at a lower

speed.

The tachometer displays the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) the engine is turning. There

is a designed operation RPM range for the engine. Become familiar with the operating range of

your engine and its operating characteristics. The tachometers designed to aid the boater to

assure the engine performs within that designed range. The tachometer can be used to better

understand the performance of your engine and your EdgeWater 3CC. By monitoring your

tachometer as you operate your Ed

geWater, you will find RPM ranges that work better in certain

sea and load conditions. Be alert the tachometer operation may provide an early indication of

difficulty, before it becomes irreversible.

6SHHGRPHWHU

The speedometer indicates the boat speed in miles per hour. Some types work using a spinning

wheel to determine the boat speed. Their accuracy can vary from the actual over the bottom

speed due to many factors. Other boat speedometers calculate the speed by amount of pressure

the moving water forces into a “pitot” tube. These gauges should only be used as indicators of

approximate speed and not used as absolute speed indicators. NOTE: All Yamaha

speedometers utilize a pitot tube. In the event that erroneous speed-readings appear, it is likely

caused by debris clogging the pitot tube. Consult with your dealer on methods to clean the tube

and restore normal operation.

This is designed to monitor the operating temperature of your engine’s cooling system. A sudden

rise from the normal should be investigated to determine if there is an obstruction in the cooling

system.

:DWHU3UHVVXUH*DXJH

This gauge measures pressure in the engine cooling system. If the pressure changes from the

norm it could indicate a complete or partial blockage in the system or a water pump problem. If

this does not return to normal, your dealer should check it to make sure the cooling system is

operating properly. NOTE: Factory rigged boats are not equipped with water pressure gauges.

)XHO*DXJH

This gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. It is always prudent to follow the “rule of

thirds”, one-third of the tank to get the destination, one-third to return, and one-third in reserve.

NOTE: It is important to “calibrate” your fuel gauge during your first initial boat trip. Record the

fuel reading prior to fill up and how may gallons to top off the tank at each fill-up. Make sure the

boat is floating in the same position. By subtracting the amount to top off from total fuel capacity

Your boat is equipped with fresh and raw water systems. The freshwater components include a

freshwater tank, distribution lines, two sink/shower faucets, and a pump. The standard raw water

system consists of a two high-speed pick-ups located on the transom, three pumps, two washdown

outlets, and one or more livewells.

Two low maintenance centrifugal pumps located in the mechanical access space fill the

livewell(s). The livewell & accessory livewell switches on the helm switch panel operate the

pumps. In order to properly operate, the valves located behind the access plate at the port aft

corner of the cockpit must be adjusted to provide an even flow in and out of the livewell. Too

much flow and it will be more than the drain can handle, too little and the water will not get proper

circulation. The valve should be turned counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.

The livewell located at the port aft corner of the boat has a strainer attached to the overboard

drain in order to regulate the height of the water; the center aft livewell has a standpipe strainer

assembly located in the center. The port aft livewell drains through a hose connected to a thru hull

fitting on the port side of the boat, the center aft drains to a starboard side fitting. To completely

drain the port aft livewell remove the bottom plug, and for the center aft livewell remove the

The washdown system is comprised of a pump mounted in the mechanical access space, and

two washdown outlets. The raw water switch on the helm switch panel controls the pump. A

washdown hose bib is located under the forward end of the starboard gunnel board and a

washdown hose and nozzle assembly is located inside the forward anchor locker. These outlets

can be used to wash debris from the boat. The raw water switch should be turned on immediately

prior to use and turned off when not in use. When activated, the pump’s pressure switch will

automatically control the pump. It is normal for the pump to cycle on and off in response to flow
