NGINE REQUIREMENTS
Your boat is designed to be propelled by a single outboard engine. The maximum
propulsion power rating for the boat is 73.6 kW. Do not operate this boat with an
engine power rating higher than the maximum power rating rated by the Ockelbo. The
said label is located at the console, under the Capacity plate. Unless the engine is
installed by Ockelbo, it is the responsibility of the party installing the engine to comply
with all specifications, rules and regulations related to outboard engines.
Do not hesitate to ask for an introduction to engine operation and maintenance, and
always read the engine, engine control and engine instrumentation manuals thoroughly.
Ockelbo strongly recommend that you fully comply with the owner’s manual provided by
the engine manufacturer.
Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power greater than that posted on the
capacity label. Do not operate at maximum speed while in congested waterways, or in
weather or sea conditions of reduced visibility, high winds or large waves. Reduce speed and
wake as a courtesy to others. Observe & obey speed limits and no wake zones. Stud this
manual carefully before starting the engine and operate the boat.
