The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one baler or bucket on the
boat and that it has been secured.
WARNING!
The bilge pump system is not intended to cope with a leak caused by running aground or
other equivalent damage (hull damage).
WARNING!
Always keep the drainpipe shut when its inboard end is constantly below the waterline
due to loading. The shut-off flap on the transom only prevents water from entering the
boat when reversing!
NOTE!
Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the drainpipe. Debris such as autumn
leaves may obstruct the water flow, which can cause the boat to fill with water and sink.
The bilge pump system does not work in conditions below 0°C.
PRECAUTION!
Refer to the image above to locate the pumps. Regularly check to ensure that there is no
debris at the end of the suction hoses for each of the pumps. You can access the electri-
cal pump by doing the following: Screw off the bottom plate (plywood plate) under the aft
seat. The bilge pump is located in a case and you can just lift it up as it is not fitted with
screws. Clean out the bottom layer in the bilge pump by letting it down into its case. The
end of the hand pump’s suction hose is situated between the fuel tank and the transom,
and can be reached by screwing off the bottom plate under the aft seat.
NOTE!
There is always some condensed water in the bilge. A small amount of water may also
come through the hull through fittings, 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.
Have any leaks repaired at an authorised repair shop.
WARNING!
The boat’s handling properties may become extremely dangerous if there is water in the
bilge.
WARNING!
The boat’s hull windows must be kept closed when the boat is moving. Also close the
windows when you leave the boat at pier or buoy. In rough weather, hatches, drawers and
doors should be kept shut to minimise the risk of them filling with water.
5.7.2. Stability and buoyancy
Please note that stability will be 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.
5.8. Avoiding the risk of fire or danger of explosion
5.8.1. Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A 68 B, which is the minimum
power requirement for extinguishers. For the extinguisher to remain reliable, it should be inspected
