A lot of skill and care is required to commission your BENETEAU boat. The proper working of all your boat equipments in the
future results from the quality of the commissioning operations.
In order to remain completely under guarantee in the case of any failure of parts or materials the first launching and the first trials of
different equipment must be carried out by your BE NETEAU dealer.
If later you have to launch your boat yourself, you should take the following precautions:
