visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun);
-
familiarity with the route (time required for navigation);
-
rules of priority (other traffic); and
-
width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore).

Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance
must be sufficient to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat’s directional stability is poorer than at higher
speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats.
You must learn the rules of traffic on sea lanes and follow the international regulations on
how to avoid collisions at sea, COLREG. Navigate with care and use new or updated nautical
charts.
The running position of the boat greatly affects its handling characteristics and
fuel consumption as well as visibility from the driver’s position. You can affect the running
position by:
-
placing the load properly – the general rule being that you should place as little
weight in the bow as possible; and
-
adjusting the trim angle.
The combination of the right running position with the right speed also makes driving in
rough seas safer and more comfortable.
WARNING!
A high speed and sudden manoeuvring can lead to large heeling
angles and loss of control over the boat.
WARNING!
This boat was not designed for use in temperatures under 0° C.
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 reviewing the engine history on the
computer at a maintenance shop.

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.
