you!
9.2
Stopping the motor
After the finished navigation, place the handle of the control console into the neutral
position. By doing so, you stop the rotation of the propeller.
9.3
Vessel equipment care
After the finished navigation, all the equipment must be dried (including the life jackets,
the ropes, the fenders, paddles and anything else you might want to keep in the storage
compartments on the vessel). When the equipment is dry, store it in the compartments on
board the vessel, otherwise the humidity on the stored objects will create mould, the
objects will oxidise and become useless.
9.4
Switching off the electricity consumer
Make sure you switched off all the electricity consumer before you leave the vessel, but
most importantly, both main switches must be in the „OFF“ position. Failure to switch off
the equipment could lead to an error on the electrical installation and provoke a fire on the
vessel.
9.5
Vessel protection
Once you have completed all of the above mentioned guidelines, all that remains to be
done is to lower the roof with the remote control in order to protect the vessel from the
weather and unwanted visitors. Before you actually leave the vessel, check another time
that the vessel is correctly and firmly tied to the pier or firmly anchored. If the vessel is
anchored, check the position of the vessel regularly, so that if the anchor is „plowing“ the
floor, the vessel will not go too far from the anchoring spot.
