- It is important to take additional precautions in very strong winds or in a confused sea or breaking waves.
- Do not install an engine in this boat with a higher rated power than that indicated on the manufacturer's plate.
- Do not drive the boat at high speed with a negative trim of the propulsion equipment (bow down). This can make the boat heel and cause it to be unstable when turning.
Use a negative trim to make the transition from displacement speed to planing speed, and at lower speeds in choppy seas (applicable to boats equipped with a system for
directing the propeller thrust).
- Do not drive at top speed in areas of heavy boat traffic or in situations of reduced visibility, strong winds or heavy seas. Reduce the boat's speed and wake out of courtesy
and for your own safety and the safety of others. Observe speed limits and "NO WASH" signs.
- Observe the rules of right of way as they are defined by the rules and required by international regulations to prevent collisions at sea (RIPAM / Col Reg).
- Ensure that you always have sufficient room to stop or manoeuver if necessary in order to avoid a collision.
- Avoid abrupt manoeuvers at full speed.
- Do not sit on the forward section of the cockpit when the boat is moving at high speed.
- Reduce speed in big waves for your comfort and safety.
