17.4 UPPER LIMIT OF ANTIFOUL
The boat's hull has a shallow indent moulded along its length: the upper marking corresponds to the upper limit of antifoul
on the hull.
17.5 LAUNCHING AND LIFTING
The first time you use your boat a high level of skill and attention will be required. The proper functioning of all equipment
will depend on the initial set-up being carried out correctly. For this reason the first launch must be carried out under your
dealer's supervision.
Before launching
- Replace the speedometer in its housing.
- Check the cleanliness of the seawater filters.
- Check the anodes (see Chapter: E
LECTRICAL SYSTEM
).
- Check the propeller/hydrolube bush (see Chapter: S
TEERING SYSTEM
).
- Prepare enough fenders and lines.
- Check the engine's seawater intake valve and the fuel feed valve (see Chapter: E
NGINE
).
17.6 STEPPING AND UNSTEPPING THE MAST
The stepping/unstepping operations require the skills of a professional rigger: please consult your dealer.
Do not stand onboard or beneath the boat
during the handling operations.
- When placing the slings make sure that the
positioning marks are still visible.
- Immerse the sling fully under the engine
mounting.
