Proper use – other recommendations and guidelines
5.10.1
Man overboard
It is always a serious situation when someone falls overboard. Rescue procedures should be
practised in advance during good weather, because it is too late for practice when someone
has actually fallen into the water.
It is always easiest to help a person climb back on board at the stern of the boat. A rope loop
attached to the boat helps lifting. The boat’s swim ladder extends 30 cm into the water. If a
child has fallen overboard, an adult carrying an extra 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 with a person that has fallen
overboard.
DANGER!
A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a
swimmer or a person who has fallen overboard. Always use the
emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or
water skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
5.10.2
Securing loose equipment
Stow all heavy equipment, such as anchors, and secure them firmly before setting off.
5.10.3
Bow cabin sliding door
NOTE!
We recommend keeping the cabin's sliding door closed while
driving. If you nevertheless wish to keep the door open while
driving slowly, it must be locked in the open position with its bolt
to prevent it from sliding shut and trapping someone.
5.10.4
Respect for the environment
Conservation of the environment is a matter of honour for every boater. Therefore, you
should avoid:
-
fuel and oil leaks;
-
emptying rubbish 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; and
