The instrument panel has all the testing functions of the engine and it does not
require any special precaution (refer to engine leaflet).
Check the clutch and accelerator cables (lubricate the end fittings and forks).
VISIBILITY FROM THE STEERING STATION
The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and the course regulations
make mandatory a permanent and proper surveillance and the respect of priority.
Make sure there is no other boat on your way.
The visibility from the steering station may be obstructed in the following conditions:
- Speed.
- Position of the upper and side awnings.
- Boat heeling over, the sails reduce visibility under wind.
- Load and load distribution.
- Sea conditions, rain, spray, fog or darkness.
- Lights on inside the boat.
- Persons and removable equipment in the helmsman's field of visibility.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- When the engine is running, avoid making noise and chops near the other users.
- Respect speed limits.
- If this boat is equipped with a fixed blade propeller, when sailing at speeds over 8 knots it
is essential to leave the reverse gear control in neutral.
- To start the engine again, reduce the speed of the boat when sailing (in order to be able
to disengage the clutch before starting it again).
PRECAUTION
- Do not change the propeller without specialist's advice.
- Regularly check the anode (at the end of the drive shaft) for corrosion, at least 2 times a
year.
