Outboard power.

DANGER:

 Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or 

boat damage. Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum horse-
power limit of a boat can:

result in severe handling and/or stability problems

1. 

place too much weight at the transom altering the designed flo

area.

The maximum motor power to be used for your boat see in specifica-
tion of this manual.

Mounting the engine:

Make sure you are standing safely and are stable.

• 

Unlock the motor for tilting and mount motor on the transom.

• 

The motor must be in the middle of the transom for proper operation.

• 

Screw the brackets securely on the stern.

• 

Lock the motor-securing line attachment.

• 

Position of the outboard engine

The outboard motor must be so installed that in the normal running position, 

it stands vertically in the water. This means that the “cavitations plate” on the 
low side or the outboard engine is horizontal in the water if the boat is lying in 
its normal position. The anti-cavitations plate on the engine should be about 
20 - 40 mm under the bottom of the transom.

Starting the engine

Pull the boat into the water

• 

Secure the motor in the downwards position

• 

Stand securely and start the engine.

• 

Avoid very high speeds when running the boat backwards, water can 

• 

come in the boat over the transom. Before putting the boat into the water 
check that the water plug in the transom is in place and closed.

3.10 TransporTaTion

3.10.1 Lifting the boat out of the water

Make sure there are no sharp edges under the boat on the place where you 

want to lift the boat out of the water Use the handgrips for lifting instead of 
the ropes and seats.

3.11 deflaTion

General information:

NOTE:

 Boat should be clean and dry before rolling up for storage.

Remove any sand and debris that may cling the fabric.

• 

When deflating the boat, do not deflate one chamber at once.

• 

Deflate all chambers evenly, this prevents damage to the bulkheads in 

• 

the boat.

To deflate the boat:

Put the boat on the floor

Put your finger in the valve and turn ¼.

• 

Release some air from all chambers.

• 

Make sure the inside of the valve stays open (to enable the air to get out 

• 

during folding).

Push evenly on the whole boat to let as much air out as possible. If you 

• 

deflate and store your BUSH, you can leave the inflatable floorboard 

as 

it is installed, just leave out the air and fold the boat.
