NOTE!
There is always some amount of condensed water in the bilge. As the boat ages, there is a
risk that a small amount of water may come through the hull bushings. Always remember
to check the bilge, via the inspection hatch under the aft seat before you leave the boat
at quay or buoy and always before setting off. Have an authorized repair shop check for
possible leaks.
WARNING!
The boat’s handling properties may become extremely dangerous if there is water in the
bilge.
WARNING!
In rough weather, the hatches and drawers should be kept shut to minimize the risk of
them filling with water.
5.7.2. Stability and buoyancy
Please note, that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the distribution of
the weight onboard may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of your craft. How-
ever, please remember that large breaking waves always present a danger to stability.
5.8. Avoiding the risk of fire or danger of explosion
5.8.1. Re-fueling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During re-fueling, do not
use switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
If the nozzle shuts off while you are re-fueling, you should rotate the nozzle by 90 degrees to pre-
vent the jet from landing directly on the chain mounting screw.
Always keep a spare can of fuel onboard. A suitable place for stowing the spare can, especially con-
sidering fire safety, is either of the anchor boxes in the stern. There is no risk of gasified fuel coming
into contact with battery compartments or the electrical system from either of these boxes.
Do not stow any loose items under aft seat that, if moved, could prevent fuel from going to the
engine. This is particularly important for items that may move against hoses running to or from the
fuel filter. Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins.
Please note that, depending on the trim of the boat or the boat’s heeling angle, it might not be pos-
sible to use the full capacity of the tank.
5.8.2. Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A 68 B. The portable fire extin-
guisher must be serviced annually by an authorized inspector. In the event, that the fire extinguish-
er is replaced the capacity of the new one should be the equivalent of the old one.
