Handling under power
Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high speed. Craft may lean over on
side. Instability in turns may result. Use negative trim to accelerate to planing speed from displacement speed and at
lower planing speeds in choppy water (applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim).
Do not operate at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or in weather and sea conditions
of reduced visibility high winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake as a courtesy and as a safety
consideration to yourself and others. Observe and obey speed limit and no wake zones.
Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG.
Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid collisions.

In emergency stay in boat
In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage, etc.) do not ever leave the boat provided it is still afloat. Even if you believe that the
shore is just nearby stay in the boat, since you will be looked for in this particular place and, most probably, will be found. Should the boat become
partially flooded throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank, engine) overboard to ensure additional floatability.
Manoeuvrability above
4knotes (7.4 km/h)
is limited. Sudden turn may cause loss of control. Reduse speed
before making sharp in either direction.
Maximum propulsion power rating fo the boats:
F300-14.7 kW (20 HP)
F330-18.4 kW (25 HP)
F360-25.7 kW (35 HP)
Do not operate your boat with an engine of rated power larger than that posted on the builder's plate
in the boat.
