NOTE!
There is always some amount of condensed water in the bilge. A small
amount of water may also come through the hull bushings, especially
as the boat ages. Always remember to check the bilge before you leave
the boat at quay or buoy, and always before setting off.
WARNING!
The boat's handling properties may become extremely dangerous if
there is water in the bilge.
5.6.2
Stability and buoyancy
Please note that stability is reduced by any weight added high up on the boat. Any change in the
distribution of weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of your
craft. Please remember that large breaking waves always present a serious danger to stability.
This YAMARIN boat is equipped with flotation materials, which allow the boat to float even
when filled with water.
The boat will float at maximum load, even when filled with water.

Avoiding the risk of fire or explosion
5.7.1
Refuelling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling, do
not use switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
Remove the detachable tank from the boat for the duration of refuelling.
Do not stow any loose items, which might touch or damage the fuel system if they move, in the
tank compartment Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins. Brittle or otherwise
damaged hoses and their pumps must be immediately replaced with a new, identical product.
Warning!
Gasified fuel is highly explosive. Observe these instructions and the utmost caution
during refuelling. The smell of fuel always means that there is gasified fuel on your
boat.
