5.12. Proper use – other recommendations and guidelines
5.12.1. Man-overboard
It is always a serious situation when someone falls overboard. Rescue procedures should be prac-
ticed in advance when the weather is good, because when someone has fallen overboard, there is
no time for practicing.
The boat is equipped with the fixed swim ladder that can be lowered down from the water. The
swim ladder unfolds to the full length by pulling the extension ladder away from the boat.
It is always easiest to help a person climb on-board from the water at the stern of the boat. A rope
loop attached to the boat helps lifting. If a child has fallen overboard, an adult with a life-saving
device or a fender must always jump in after the child, however, someone must always remain on-
board the boat.
It is very important to maintain visual and verbal contact if a person falls overboard.
DANGER!
A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a swimmer or a person that has
fallen overboard. Use an emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or wa-
ter skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
Recommended place for possible life raft is under the back seat.
5.12.2. Securing loose equipment
Secure all loose equipment before setting off.
5.12.3. Respect for the environment
Our seas, lakes and archipelago are unique, and their conservation is a matter of honor for each
boater. Therefore, you should avoid:
- fuel and oil leakages
- emptying garbage and waste into the water or on the shore
- letting detergents or solvents get into the water
- loud noise both on the water and at the marina
- producing unnecessarily high wash in narrow passages and shallow waters
Service the engine well and run it at the most economical speed, which will also keep exhaust
emissions low.
Please also consider other local environmental legislation and regulations. Please make sure to fa-
miliarize yourself with the international regulations on the prevention of pollution at sea (MARPOL)
and respect these to the greatest possible extent.
5.12.4. Anchoring and mooring
Always moor your boat carefully, even in sheltered places, because conditions can change rapidly.
Mooring lines should be equipped with absorbers to dampen any jolts. To prevent abrasion, use
fenders that are large enough. The location of the bollards is illustrated on the image in the section
on towing.
