23CRUISE_OPEN 23ELECTRIC_OPEN – General manual
which could result in the non-stability of the vessel and/or its sinking.
Additional guidelines:
•
the stability of the vessel is reduced if the load is put over the edge of the vessel,
•
the stability of the vessel is reduced with the breaking of water into the hull or by
adding load to the hull. Make sure that water will not break into the vessel’s hull.
5.6
Motor power
The vessel 23OPEN can be equipped with electric, petrol, diesel or hybrid engines.
•
Electric engines up to 10kW (14hp), with 12kWh battery pack (or optional 24 kWh
battery pack)
•
Petrol, diesel or hybrid engines up to 30kW (40hp)
The types of motor offered by the manufacturer have been carefully chosen to maximize
the navigational capacities of the vessel. Therefore, do not install more powerful or bigger
motors than the ones we offer. By installing a larger motor than the offered one, you
would put in danger the safety of the navigation and the navigational characteristics of the
vessel.
Moreover, the choice of the propeller installed to the vessel 23OPEN is also the result of
various tests and calculations, in order to suite the navigational characteristics of the
vessel and guarantee its optimal functioning for its purpose and characteristics. Consult
the vessel manufacturer before changing the propeller. If you intend to change the
propeller, take into account the maximum recommended revolution, as described in the
user guide for the motor. The revolutions must never be higher than the recommended
ones!
In order to achieve the given motor power, the propeller must:
•
be without damages on its blades,
•
have no obstructions when rotating (rope or fishnet caught in the blades, or any
other deformation to the propeller’s axis, etc.).
If you notice any of the indicated damages to the propeller, it needs to be immediately
checked by an authorized service centre. It is also recommended to keep a spare propeller
on board, in order to change it immediately in case of damages.
5.7
Batteries
When the vessel is equipped with electric engine, batteries are mounted under central
cover (under the table on the deck).
To access to battery pack:
•
unscrew six screws which are fixing the cover (marked with black circles on figure
below)
•
remove the plate with table (marked with red line on figure below)
