NOTE!
The boat is not designed to jump waves. The warranty does not cover damage caused by
jumping waves with the boat. You can check whether the boat has been airborne by re -
viewing the engine history on the computer at the maintenance shop.
9.7. Approaching and leaving the dock
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a
dock before entering a crowded marina.
A very gentle application of throttle does not generate sufficient steering power. Sharp
but short throttle applications enable efficient steering movements when approaching the
dock.
Ensure that everyone on board who does not have to stand up is seated when you are
approaching the dock. Sudden steering movements may cause the boat to heel and injure
somebody.
Before docking, prepare the mooring lines at stern and bow. Approach the dock bow first
at an acute angle. Just before touching the dock, steer into it and shift into reverse. Ap -
ply throttle quickly and sharply. The boat will stop and turn parallel to the dock. If possible,
make the approach into the wind or current, whichever is the strongest. This makes de -
parting easier, as the wind or current will push the bow out from the dock. The easiest way
to depart is to first push the stern as far away from the dock as possible, and then slowly
reverse away from the dock into open water.
The propeller is designed to have the best grip in forward gear. Therefore, propeller per -
formance is weaker in reverse. The steering response is also not as good in reverse as in
forward gear.
WARNING!
The boat is fast. If you are planing, it takes time to come to a stop. Slow down in time be -
fore anchoring, beaching or docking. Learn to estimate the distance the boat needs to
stop. Remember that steering control is poor if there is no traction.
WARNING!
Do not try to stop the boat with your hands, and do not put your arm or foot between the
boat and the dock, the shore or another vessel! Practise beaching and docking under fa -
vourable conditions! Use moderate but firm engine power!
NOTE!
When securing your boat, take into consideration the possibility of changes in wind direc -
tion, rising or sinking of the water level, bow wakes, etc. You can get more information from
your insurance company, for example.
9.8. Using the canopy
The canopy is designed to withstand a maximum speed of 30 knots at sea, and 50 km/h
in road transport. All press studs must be properly fastened when using the canopy. We
recommend that you remove the sides and back of the canopy to make it fit into the canopy
box more easily. Then, fold the upper parts of the sides entirely on top of the roof, so that
no fabric remains where the corners of the canopy supports are. Finally, roll up the roof
