Thank You for
Choosing a Williams Sportjet
This owner's handbook has been compiled to help you operate your Sportjet with safety and
pleasure. It contains details of the boat and equipment fitted, together with information on its
operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before
using it.
The Williams Sportjet uses water jet propulsion. If this is your first boat or you are changing
to a type of boat you are not familiar with, please ensure that, for your own safety you obtain
handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat. Maneuverability
is restricted while decelerating. Your dealer, national sailing federation or yacht club will be
pleased to advise you of sea schools, or competent instructors.
The Sportjet is a high performance boat. We recommend that a minimum standard of
RYA level 2 or ICC (International Certificate of Competency) is attained by the operator
prior to taking control of this boat. This manual assumes the operator has acquired
this standard of qualification and possesses knowledge of basic seamanship.
On handover your Williams Sales & Service Centre will guide you through the operating
functions and safety features of the boat. Remember to complete and submit your
warranty registration form either by post or online at williamsjettenders.com/warranty_
submission. Make a reference of the boat's HIN in the box below. Please keep this
handbook in a secure place and hand it to the new owner if you sell the boat.
Hull Identification Number (HIN):
The HIN is located on the right hand side of the transom face below the platform step. Record
it in the box above.
