Richard T. Fisher was

posthumously inducted

Manufacturer’s Associa-

Fame on September 26,

1996 for accomplish-

ments made in marine

engineering and con-

struction.

History

In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher introduced the first Boston Whaler boat in Braintree,

Massachussetts. It featured two significant innovations: first, its twin sponson hull design produced superior

stability and a remarkably dry ride; second, its unique foam core construction made the boat not only du-

rable, but unsinkable as well.

Fisher took every opportunity to illustrate the unique characteristics of the Boston Whaler. His most famous

demonstration was captured in 1961, by Life Magazine. The series of photographs showed the boat under-

way, the boat being sawed in half and ultimately Fisher motoring away in the remaining half of the boat.And

through the years many other demonstrations have proved the toughness and durability of the Boston Whaler

hull. And though you may never cut your boat in half, this only goes to show one thing, people whose

livelihood and lives depend on boats consistently choose Boston Whaler because of their seaworthiness,

dependablility and the inherent safety of a hull that won’t sink even if severely damaged.

Boston Whalers are built to last. For over 40 years Boston Whaler® has strived to make each model better,

providing you with a safe and fun boating experience. That is the reason we offer a 10 year limited transfer-

able warranty. It is also an excellent reason why you can trust the safety of your family and friends to a

Boston Whaler.

PLEASE KEEP THIS OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET IN A SECURE PLACE, AND BE SURE TO HAND IT OVER

TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE BOAT.

This Owner’s Manual has been written to provide specific information about your boat and it should be read carefully. Keep this

booklet with the Owner’s Manual in the Owner’s Manual Packet.

The Owner’s Manual Packet has been compiled to help you operate your boat with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the

boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, it’s systems and information on it’s operation and maintenance. Please familiarize yourself

with the boat and it’s operation before using it.

If this is your first boat, or you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please

ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of your boat. Your BostonWhaler® dealer

or local Yacht Club will be pleased to advise you of marine safety classes and safe boating classes in your area.

Hull Identifcation Number

The “Hull Identification Number” is located on the

starboard side of the transom wall.

Thisis themost important identifyingfactor andmust

beincluded in allcorrespondencerelated toyourves-

sel. Failure to do so will only create delays.Also of

vital importance are the engine serial numbers and

part numbers when writing about or ordering parts

for your engine.

Our Hull

Boston Whaler® hulls are constructed with our pat-

ented Unibond™ construction. This involves shoot-

ing high density foam into a closed mold system.

The foam expands to fill voids in the hull, and when

thefinishedproduct is pulledfromthe mold, thedeck

and the hull are chemically bonded to form a solid,

inseparable unit.

When your 180 Dauntless needs to be serviced or

regular maintenance is needed, it should be taken to

an authorized Boston Whaler® dealer.

Through-Hull Fittings

The deck drain provides self-bailing capabilities while

the boat is static in the water and no passengers on

board. This feature prevents the accumulation of wa-

ter in the cockpit. the drain must be in place when un-

derway.

NOTICE

Depending on the type of boat you have, you may

have underwater fittings that need drain plugs.

Garboard drain plugs and fishbox drain plugs need

to be in place before the boat goes into the water.

Any fitting that will be underwater needs to be

plugged or the seacock needs to be closed

NOTICE

An inspection of the through hull fittings is recom-

mended. Through hull fittings should be checked

for proper seal annually and repaired as required.

When the boat is in the water the underwater fit-

tings can be checked for dripping. It is recom-

mended that the underwater fittings be removed,

cleaned and resealed every other year.

NOTICE

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 fit-

tings that are improperly installed can cause pre-

mature hull failure and may void the Boston

Whaler® limited warranty.
