- It is important to take additional precautions in the event of strong winds,
rough seas or breaking waves.
- Do not install an engine in this boat with a higher power rating than indicated on the
manufacturer's plate of the boat.
- 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 right of way as defined by the rules of marine traffic and required by international
regulations to prevent collisions at sea (RIPAM / Col Reg).
- Ensure that you always have sufficient room to stop or manoeuvre if necessary in order to
avoid a collision.
- Avoid abrupt manoeuvres at full speed.
- Do not sit on the forward section of the cockpit when the boat is moving at high speed.
- Reduce speed in large waves for your comfort and safety.
