4 MANOEUVRABILITY
- This boat was found to be capable of carrying its crew, even when flooded.
- It is important to take additional precautions in very strong winds or in a confused sea or
breaking waves.
- Maximum rated power of boat propulsion: 2 x 243 Kw.
- Do not install an engine in this boat with a higher rated power than that indicated on the
manufacturer's plate.
- 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 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.
- 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 the rules of priority as defined in the Navigation Rules and imposed by the
international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (Collision Regulations - COLREG).
- Ensure that you always have sufficient room to stop or manoeuver if necessary in order to
avoid a collision.
- Avoid abrupt manoeuvers at full speed.
- Do not sit on the forward section of the cockpit when the boat is moving at high speed.
- Reduce speed in big waves for your comfort and safety.
