SAFETY

Golden Line G340N Owner’s Manual

WHEN LOADING THE CRAFT, NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOAD. ALWAYS
LOAD THE CRAFT CAREFULLY AND DISTRIBUTE LOADS APPROPRIATELY TO MAINTAIN
DESIGN TRIM (APPROXIMATELY LEVEL). AVOID PLACING HEAVY WEIGHTS HIGH UP.

DISTRIBUTION OF LOAD

Evenly distribute the load within the boat.

POORLY DISTRIBUTED LOADS CAN DESTABILIZE THE BOAT AND MAY RESULT IN A LOSS
OF CONTROL.

THE CRAFT’S HANDLING WILL CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDING ON THE LOAD
CARRIED.

BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL WHEN ACCELERATING OR CHANGING DIRECTION.

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND TRIM WHEN NAVIGATION
CONDITIONS OR THE CRAFT’S DIRECTION THROUGH WAVES CHANGE.
