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 durable, 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 underway, 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 transferable 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 BOOK AND OTHER MATERIALS 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 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 Boston Whaler® dealer or local Yacht Club will be pleased to advise you of marine safety classes and safe

boating classes in your area.

Limited Warranty

Boston Whaler warrants to the first retail owner of its 2007 model year boats, if purchased from an

authorized Boston Whaler Dealer and operated under normal, non-commercial use (“Boston Whaler Boat”),

that it will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any defects in material or workmanship in the Boston Whaler

Boat that are reported within applicable warranty periods, subject to the remedies, exclusions, and limitations

set out below.

1. Limited Structural Hull Warranty - 0-5 Years: Boston Whaler will provide 100% reimbursement for any repair or

replacement as a result of Structural Hull Defect in material or workmanship which is reported within five (5) years (60

months) from the date of the first retail purchase of the Boston Whaler Boat. The “Hull” shall mean the single fiberglass

molded shell and integral structural components. A Structural Hull Defect shall mean a substantial defect in the boat’s

Hull/Deck which causes the boat to be unfit or unsafe for general use as a pleasure craft under normal operating

conditions.

2. Limited Structural Hull Warranty - 5-10 Years: For any defect reported during the 60-120 month period from the date

of the first retail purchase of the Boston Whaler Boat, Boston Whaler will reimburse repairs or replacement as a result of

a Structural Hull Defect in material or workmanship on a pro-rata basis. Reimbursement will be based on the percentage

of the number of months left of limited warranty coverage after the first 60 months have elapsed. A declining value of

1.67% will be assessed to each month after the first 60 month period. For example, a defect is reported 6 years and 3

months or 75 months after the date of purchase. 75 months minus the first 60 months equals 15 months of pro ratacoverage.

The 15 months of pro rata coverage is multiplied by 1.67% and equals 25%. This means 25% of the warranty has expired.

Therefore, any authorized repair and/or replacement will qualify for 75% reimbursement of the total cost.

3. Limited Warranty on Accessories Manufactured and Installed By Boston Whaler: Boston Whaler will repair or

replace any accessories manufactured and installed by Boston Whaler that are defective in factory materials and/or

workmanship which are reported within one year from date of sale to the original purchaser.

Sole Remedy: In no event shall any repair or replacement under this Limited Warranty exceed the fair market value of the

owner’s boat as of the date of the owner’s claim. THE REMEDY OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

OR MATERIALS THAT ARE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE IN FACTORY MATERIALS OR

WORKMANSHIP COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE

OWNER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BOSTON WHALER FOR ANY CLAIMS

WHATSOEVER OF ECONOMIC LOSS RESULTING FROM PRODUCT FAILURE. The terms and

conditions contained in this limited warranty may not be modified, altered or waived by any action, inaction, or

representations, whether oral or in writing, except upon the express, written authority of a management level employee of

Boston Whaler.

Statute of Limitations: Any action for rescission or revocation against Boston Whaler shall be barred unless it is

commenced within two (2) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action.

Other Limitations: EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES

EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROVIDED BY BOSTON WHALER ON THIS BOAT. ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS

AND MERCHANTABILITY, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. BOSTON WHALER FURTHER DIS-

CLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ECONOMIC LOSS ARISING FROM CLAIMS OF PRODUCT

FAILURE, NEGLIGENCE, DEFECTIVE DESIGN, MANUFACTURING DEFECT, FAILURE TO WARN

AND/OR INSTRUCT, LACK OF SEAWORTHINESS, AND ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY

NOT EXPRESSLY COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IS

LIMITED FOR THE DURATION OF THE RESPECTIVE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES

STATED HEREIN. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW NEITHER BOSTON WHALER, NOR

THE SELLING DEALER SHALL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF THE BOAT, LOSS

OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SOME

STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS,

SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW

THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO

Owner’s Obligations: To initiate a warranty claim, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to contact an authorized

Boston Whaler dealer immediately after discovery of any defect, describe the nature of the problem, and provide a hull

serial number, date of purchase, and name of selling dealer. The authorized dealer will notify Boston Whaler, who is solely

responsible for determining and authorizing in writing the remedial action(s) to be performed at either an

authorized Boston Whaler dealership chosen by Boston Whaler or at the Boston Whaler factory. The purchaser should

notify Boston Whaler of any boat being repaired by an authorized Boston Whaler dealer which has been at the

dealership for fifteen (15) days, or of any claimed defect which was not corrected after one repair attempt.

Registration: Boston Whaler provides each new boat owner with a product registration card which should be filled out

and sent to Boston Whaler within 30 days of purchase. Please complete and return the product registration card within

30 days of purchase of your boat in order to facilitate processing of warranty claims and for manufacturer notifications.

Transferability: The Limited Warranty on Accessories Manufactured and Installed By Boston Whaler, set out in

“THE MISSION OF BOSTON WHALER IS TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH THE

SAFEST, HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST DURABLE BOATS IN THE WORLD”.

We are dedicated to creating a superior product providing you with comfort, performance, safety and dependability. All

of our boats comply with the safety standards set by the United States Coast Guard and are designed, engineered and

Hull Identifcation Number

The “Hull Identification Number” is located on the star-

board side of the transom.

This is the most important identifying factor and must be

included in all correspondence related to your vessel.

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

importance are the engine serial numbers and part num-

bers when writing about or ordering parts for your en-

gine.

Our Hull

Boston Whaler® hulls are constructed with our patented

Unibond™ construction. This involves shooting high

density foam into a closed mold system. The foam ex-

pands to fill voids in the hull, and when the finished prod-

uct is pulled from the mold, the deck and the hull are

chemically bonded to form a solid, inseparable unit.

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 water in the

cockpit. the drain must be in place when underway.

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

!

Through hull fittings should be checked for proper

seal annually. When the boat is in the water the un-

derwater fittings can be checked for dripping. It is

recommended that the underwater fittings be re-

moved, 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.

Fuel System

GENERAL

FUEL,

CAUTION

Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard, inspect the

system regularly. Examine fuel tanks, filters, and ex-

posed lines for leaks and corrosion.

DANGER

Check for leaks in tubing, connections and hoses. Cor-

rect the cause of the leaks and ventilate the area to

insure that no fumes remain, prior to energizing any elec-

trical equipment and/or starting the engines.

CAUTION

Use of improper gasolines can seriously damage your

engine. Damage resulting from use of improper gasoline

is considered misuse of engine and will void the

warranty.Follow engine manufacturer’s recommendations

regarding the types of fuel and oil to use.

CAUTION

Oil and fuel spills can be dangerous and can subject

offenders to severe penalties

DANGER

Avoid all forms of ignition when the odor of fuel is no-

ticed. Well ventilate any area of the boat where the fuel

odor is present before starting engine(s) or operating

electrical equipment and smoking.

NOTICE

Keep records of your boats fuel capacity and consump-

tion. Drastic changes in fuel consumption and decreases

in mileage may indicate a problem.

The 305 Conquest is equipped with a gaso-

line fuel system. Please take time to read

and understand all the fuel related informa-

tion and warnings in the engine owner’s

packet. The various diagrams show the lo-

cation of the fuel fill, routing of fuel supply hoses and the

location of the fuel tank vents.

Fuel Tanks

The 305 Conquest comes standard with 3 aluminum

fuel tanks. The port and starboard saddle tanks are

110 Gal. (416.3L)each, the auxilliary tank is 75

Gal.(284L). The saddle tanks are located port and

starboard amidship aft of the mid-cabin, and the

auxilliary tank is located under the mid cabin floor.

The optional 15 Gal.(56.8L) Diesel fuel tank is lo-

cated on the aft port side of the machinery compart-

ment.

Fuel Fill

The 305 Conquest has fuel fills for each tank. The port

saddle and center tank fills are located on the port side

amidship on the gunwales and the starboard tank is lo-

cated on the starboard gunwale amidship each is marked

“GAS”, and is opened by use of a special key that is

included with the owner’s packet. Follow the engine

manufacturer’s recommendation for the types of fuel to

use.

Diesel Fuel Fill (optional)

The optional generator is made to run on diesel fuel

ONLY. The optional diesel fuel fill is located on the aft

port side area foward of the motorwell. There is a fuel

gauge located on the right side of the AC/DC MDP for

monitoring the generator fuel tank. There is a fuel filter/

water separator included with the generator option. In-

structions regarding the operation and maintenance of

the generator and fuel filter/water separator are included

in the owner’s packet. Follow all instructions/schedules

carefully.

Avoid storing diesel fuel for more than one

month. Take special precautions to keep all dirt,

water, and other contaminants out of the fuel to

prevent the growth of microbes. Microbes form

slime that clogs the fuel filter and lines.

!

NOTICE

Use ONLY diesel fuel for generator operation. Use of

fuels other than diesel will damage the generator.

!

NOTICE

!

Remove portable tanks from boat and fill from shore.

When fueling is complete, secure tanks to deck with

straps provided.

DANGER

!

Static electricity can ignite gasoline vapors causing

serious injury/death and/or destruction of property.

NOTICE

!

Fuel gauge only reads accurately when boat is

level (not underway).

NOTICE

!

The fuel tank vent integrated into the fuel fill deck plate

serves as a pressure/vacuum release, safety overflow

and flame arrestor.

EMPTY TANK:

A fuel tank with levels less than 1/4 full can cause prob-

lems by stalling an engine due to fuel starvation or by

allowing sediment and dirt to enter the fuel supply lines.

Keeping the tank filled will reduce the chance of this

occurance; since the residue will most likely settle to the

bottom of the tank. Monitor the fuel level often to pre-

vent this from happening.

HOSES AND FITTINGS:

Hoses and fittings should be inspected at least every 100

hours. Check the hoses for cracks, abrasions and dete-

rioration and the strong smell of fuel prior to starting the

engine(s). If the hoses or fittings are damaged or worn,

replace them with only marine grade replacement parts.

Your authorized Boston Whaler® dealer will have all

the parts information you will need.

TANK CLEANING:

Excessive water and sediment may force you to con-

sider having the tank professionally cleaned. If you are

frequently changing fuel filter/water separators and no-

tice a loss in power, consult a professional tank cleaning

contractor regarding this procedure and proper disposal

of residue and water.

DEISEL FUEL FILTER MAINTENANCE:

The optional diesel fuel filter/water separator protects

the components of the optional generator from harmful

residue and water infiltration. The fuel

filter/water separator has a removable filter element that

requires regular maintenance. There is a manufacturers

owners manual that is included in the

owners packet. This manual will give you information

regarding maintenance of the fuel filter/water separator.
