Boston Whaler founder Rich-

ard T. Fisher demonstrating one

of the features that has made

Boston Whaler the “Unsinkable

Legend” in this 1961 LIFE

Magazine Photo.

Richard T. Fisher was posthu-

mously inducted into the Na-

tional Marine Manufacturer ’s

Association (NMMA) Hall of

Fame on September 26, 1996

for accomplishments 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 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 OWNERS MANUAL PACKET IN A SECURE PLACE, AND BE SURE TO HAND IT

Hull Identifcation Number

The Hull Identification Number is located on the

starboard side of the transom wall.

This is the most important identifying factor and must

be included in all correspondence related to your ves-

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

the finished product is pulled from the mold, the deck

and the hull are chemically bonded to form a solid,

inseparable unit.

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 manufactured in accordance with applicable recommendations and guidelines of the American Boat and Yacht

Council (A.B.Y.C.) and certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (N.M.M.A.).

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.

NOTICE

Section 2 - General Boat Arrangement & Specifications 7

190 Nantucket - Owners Manual

Accommodation deck:

This area of the boat

is inside the cockpit

and includes helm

seating. Movement in

this area should be done with extreme cau-

tion while the boat is underway. A sudden

shift in boat direction can cause a loss of

balance and lead to injury or death.

Working deck:

This area is intended

for occupation ONLY

while mooring, an-

choring, loading/un-

loading or when the boat is at rest. NEVER

operate the engine while loading or un-

loading swimmers/divers from the swim

platform/ladder.

Be aware of your footing while the boat is under-

w a y, slipping or falling could result in serious in-

jury or death, especially if the boat is in motion or

in rough seas. Keep the accommodation deck

clean, so if movement is neccessary it will be free

of obstruction.

DANGER

Gelcoat surfaces are slippery when wet.Use

extreme caution when walking on wet surfaces.

Use care when waxing to ensure that walkways

are not made dangerously slippery.

WARNING

Never occupy the working decks while the boat

is underway. ONLY sit in areas that are desig-

nated for sitting. NEVER sit on the gunwales

while the boat is moving.

The 190 Nantucket is equipped with a

60 Gal.(227L) polyethelene fuel tank.

It is recommended that you follow all

instructions regarding the filling of

fuel tanks.

Please take time to read and understand all the fuel

related information and warnings in the engine

owners packet. There is a special key that is included

in the owners manual packet that fits the hole pat-

tern on the top of the fuel fill cap.

FUEL VENT

The 190 Nantucket has a fuel vent that is integrated

into the fuel fill assembly. The fuel tank vent serves

as a pressure/vacuum release.

Section 3 - Fuel System8

190 Nantucket - Owners Manual

Fuel Filter

The 190 Nantucket equipped with a 115 HP 4-stroke

engine is fitted with an in-line fuel/water separator.

This fuel filter system helps to keep your engine and

carburetor free from water, contaminated fuel and

small particles. The fuel/water separator can be

reached through an access plate in the aft section of

the fuel tank cover/deck. A major cause of power

loss and poor starting can be traced to contaminated

fuel. Replace the fuel/water separator at regular in-

tervals or when loss of power is noticed.

The filter can be removed using a standard oil filter

wrench and should not be over-tightened.

It is also recommended that a spare filter be carried,

as one tankful of contaminated fuel can plug a filter.

Some engines have an integrated fuel filter and

should not be equipped with an additional fuel filter.

Fuel System

CAUTION

Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard, inspect the

system regularly. Examine fuel tanks and exposed 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

electrical equipment and/or starting the engines.

CAUTION

Use of improper gasolines can damage your engine se-

riously. Engine damage resulting from use of improper

gasoline is considered misuse of engine and will void

the warranty. Follow engine manufacturer ’s recommen-

dations regarding the types of fuel and oil to use.

CAUTION

Oil and fuel spills can be dangerous and can subject

offenders to severe penalties

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 tanks should never be filled to capacity, allow 2%

for expansion.

EMPTY TANK:

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

problems 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 prevent this from happening.

HOSES AND FITTINGS:

Hoses and fittings should be inspected at least every

100 hours. Check the hoses for cracks, abrasions and

deterioration and the strong smell of fuel prior to

starting the engine(s). If the hoses or fittings are dam-

aged 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 notice a loss in power, consult a professional

tank cleaning contractor regarding this procedure and

proper disposal of residue and water.

Fuel System Maintenance

Section 4 - Electrical System10

190 Nantucket - Owners Manual

There is a danger that static electricity can ignite gaso-

line vapors that have not been ventilated outside an

enclosed area. Use extreme caution when fueling

your boat from a source outside the regular venues,

(e.g. marinas, fuel service stations.)

Your boat has safety features that can be circum-

vented by not adhering to standard fueling practices.

Your boats bonding system protects it from creating

and discharging static electricity.

Your boat must be in contact with the water or a land

based grounding system. Here are some helpful sug-

gestions to keep you safe from static electricity while

refueling your boat.

 NEVER fuel your boat in unsafe conditions such

as: suspended on a sling or in a situation that in-

creases the liklihood of static discharge.

 NEVER use homemade containers to fill your fuel

tanks.

 Fuel carried on-board outside of a fixed fuel sys-

tem should be stored in an approved container or

in a portable tank such as provided for outboard

engines and be stowed safely outside of the engine

or living compartment(s).

 Shut down the engine(s), motors and fans prior to

taking on fuel. Any ignition sources should be ex-

tinguished before filling the fuel tank(s).

 Close all ports, windows, doors and hatches.

 Fueling should never be done at night except in

well-lighted areas.

 Always keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the

fuel fill plate or the edge of the fuel tank opening

throughout the filling process.

 Allow areas where gasoline vapors could collect

to be ventilated before starting the engine(s).

 Wipe any spillage completely and dispose of rags

or waste on shore.

 Secure the fill cap tightly.

Static Electricity and the Fuel System

 Fuel tanks should never be filled to capacity. al-

low 2% for expansion.

 Portable tanks should only be filled while on the

ground; never on-board the boat.

190 Nantucket - Owners Manual

Section 4 - Electrical System 11

The most life shortening experience for the battery

is to be drained to zero charge before recharging.

When a battery discharges, the active material on both

positive and negative plates converts to lead sulfate,

causing the plates to become more alike in an elec-

trical charge. The electricity conducting battery acid

becomes weaker and the voltage drops. As the bat-

tery remains discharged, the process continues until

recharging the battery becomes impossible. If the

battery does become run down be sure to recharge it

as soon as possible. Over charging the battery can be

just as detrimental to its life as running it down too

far. Battery maintenance should include:

 Inspect the battery and charging system be

fore each use for loose connections or wiring.

 If not using a sealed battery, check and maintain

the water level. USE distilled water ONLY.

 Coat the terminals with dielectric grease.

 Keep the battery safe and dry.

 Remove the battery from the boat during cold

weather or long term storage.

Battery Maintenance

Electrical System

CAUTION

Never reset a breaker without first determining and

correcting the cause of the trip. Should a circuit re-

peatedly trip, have a qualified electrician determine

and correct the cause.

 Never use an open flame in the battery storage area.

 A void striking sparks near the battery

 A battery will explode if a flame or spark ignites the

free hydrogen given off during charging.

 The battery should always be disconnected before

doing any work or maintenance on the electrical

system.

CAUTION

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is dangerous and

can cause serious injury.AVOID contact with skin,

eyes and clothing. If contact occurs, immediately flush

the af fected area with large quantities of water and

call for medical assistance

DANGER

Always store the battery in the the battery box. Use

the straps and clamp to keep the box secure while

underway.

Navigation Lighting

Navigation lighting is provided as part of the 190

Nantucket electrical system. Navigation lights must

be displayed while underway, from sunset to sun-

rise. The term underway means not at anchor or

docked. While at anchor in open water it is required

that your 360° pole light be illuminated. It is the boat

owners responsibility to display the proper sequence

of navigation lighting. Do not change the sequence

of navigation lighting of your boat. It is also the

responsibility of the boat owner to ensure that the

navigation lights are in good working order. The navi-

gation lights will let other boaters see the direction

your craft is traveling and its approximate length.

NOTICE

The improper sequence of navigation lighting may be

as dangerous as not having lights at all.

Accessory Pull Cord

Your 190 Nantucket is equipped with a 1/8 nylon

accessory pull cord. This is included for your conve-

nience should you ever add any components that may

require you to run the accessory wiring under the

deck. The pull cord starts in the aft starboard side of

the console interior and runs under the deck to the

aft starboard quarter seat. Pull the storage bin out

from under the starboard aft quarter seat to access

the end of the accessory pull cord. There is a tag on

one end of the cord that reads DO NOT PULL...

Ignition Shutdown Switch

W ear your lanyard at all times while operating the boat.

It is for emergency stopping only. Do not use it to shut

off the engine during normal operation. The lanyard

should be long enough to prevent inadvertent activation.

CAUTION

The 190 Nantucket is equipped with an ignition shut-

down safety switch. It is located starboard of the steer-

ing wheel, below the ignition switch. The ignition

shut down safety switch incorporates a shut-off

switch, switch clip, lanyard and lanyard clip, which

is clipped to the operator. If an emergency arises

where the engine must be shut down, a pull on the

cord to release the clip from the shut-off will shut

down the engine. This switch is designed to shut the

engine off when the operator of the boat leaves the

control station, either accidentally by falling into the

boat, or by being ejected overboard. This would most

likely occur as a result of poor operating practices.

Section 5 - Bilge System 17

190 Nantucket - Owners Manual

NOTICE

The bilge pump is wired directly to the battery. The bilge

pump switch can be set in several positions for bilge

pump operation. Be sure the bilge pump float switch is

clear of debris to prevent continuous operation and sub-

sequent discharge of the battery.

The 190 Nantucket is equipped with

an 1100 GPH electric bilge pump. It

is located in the aft cockpit sump just

forward of the motorwell. The switch

for bilge pump operation is located on

the instrument panel.

OPERATION:

The bilge pump switch has two operating positions:

 Position 1-AUTO-The float switch cycles the

bilge pump ON when the water level in the

sump reaches a pre-determined level. If the boat

is under load and left unattended while the sump

drain plug is not in place, the battery can be dis-

charged, (due to continuous cycling).

 Position 2-ON-This position is for manual bilge

pump operation. The pump will run contiuously

until the switch is returned to the AUTO posi-

tion.

MAINTENANCE:

The bilge pump and float switch units are completely

sealed and little maintenance is required. It is impor-

tant to keep the bilge pump in good working order,

check around the float switch for debris and gummy

bilge oil that could impede the bilge pump from work-

ing properly. Check the bilge pump and hoses for

wear; clean and repair if neccessary.

Note: The bilge pump is wired directly to the bat-

tery. If the boat is to be dry docked for an extended

amount of time be sure to disconnect the battery

cables.

Livewell (optional)

The 190 Nantucket can be equipped with a 15 Gal.

(57L) livewell that is integrated into the leaning post.

The livewells primary function is to keep baitfish

alive by circulating fresh seawater into the tank. A

raw water pump and plumbing service the system.

Access to the raw water pump is through the deck

hatch located on the cockpit floor behind the livewell

base.

OPERATION:

The livewell can be filled by pressing the accessory

switch designated for livewell activation on the in-

strument panel. There is a tube in the livewell that

will prevent the system from overflowing. Excess

water will be drained out through a transom drain

fitting overboard.

MAINTENANCE:

Maintenance of the livewell system will require you

to check the pump opening and strainer for debris

and impediments, this can be done visually on dry

land. The pump opening is located on the aft part of

the hull on the starboard side.
