Before operation
Read this operation manual carefully. When sailing,
always consider the following factors:
» Consider wind, waves, and visibility. Consider
whether the design category, size, and equipment of
your boats as well as the skills of the captain and crew
is adequate to the water area in which you are going.
» Do not overload the boat, distribute the load
evenly. Do not place heavy objects too high in order
not to impair the stability of the boat.
» Make sure that every person on board is provided
with life vests. Coordinate with each person the nec-
essary tasks they will be doing before the departure.
» Make sure you have enough fuel; There should be
a reserve in case of bad weather and in case of other
surprises. Check fuel ways for gaps and damage.
» Check the operability and condition of control sys-
tems, electrical equipment, and battery, and do a daily
check motor in accordance with its instructions. Make
sure in the seaworthiness of a boat: no fuel leakage or
leaks in the boat, the availability of rescue equipment,
etc. Make sure that the volume of deck water at the
bottom of the boat is minimal. Make sure all electrical
connections are securely connected and wire integrity.
In case of defects or leaks connections, contact your
service representative.
» Take care of venting fuel assemblies for reducing
the risk of fire.
» Make sure all loads are set so that they will remain
in their places when going to sea and when the winds
are strong.
» If you are not going to go to familiar places, make
sure you have the maps of the water area you’re going
to.
» Distribute crew responsibilities: who disconnects a
specific cable, etc. Make sure that upon departure or
arrival, mooring and other cables did not fall under the
screw.
» Additional instructions regarding the motor can be
found in the separate instructions.
For more convenient installation of equipment to the
instrument panel all boats come with a loose steering
wheel nut. Before you start operating the boat you
need to tighten the steering wheel nut.
Stability and buoyancy
Due to the shape of the hull and weight distribu-
tion the stability of the boats “VBOATS” is excellent.
