2. OPERATING THE BOAT __PAGE 15
WARNING
2.6 O
PERATING THE BOAT AT SEA
Learn the seafaring rules and the COLREG provisions (International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) and follow them. Navigate with
care and make sure your charts are up to date. Boating regulations are
available in bookstores or from local authorities. Always adapt your speed to
the prevailing conditions, your skills and the environment.
This owner’s manual is not a manual on good seamanship. The operator is always
responsible to ensure that he/she has the right skills to operate a boat. Therefore, this
manual does not substitute a course (or similar extensive experience) in boating and
seamanship. Always take proper training if you lack such, or in any way feel unsecure on
boat handling and seamanship. Operating a boat can often be more demanding than
driving for instance a car.

Always make sure that the boat and safety equipment is in a good and safe
condition.

Always maintain an unobstructed view of the area around the boat to detect
the dangers such as other boats or floating objects in your course, shallow
waters or challenging water and weather conditions

The view forward may be obstructed when the boat is passing the planing
speed, as the bow raises. This may also happen in certain load and trim
conditions. Be extra careful.

Always adjust the speed and trim to the prevailing conditions. Be particularly
careful when driving at high speeds and waves. For instance, a low bow in high
waves or in a tailwind may cause the bow to plunge into waves and fill the boat
with water or may cause sharp and sudden direction changes.

Sharp turns, a too low bow or sideways waves at high speeds may be very
dangerous due to the risk of fast changes of directions causing passengers and
the operator to shift and loose grip, potentially be hurt or lose control of the
boat.
1. Adjust the engine trim and the trim system with care – at high speed they radically change
the behavior of the craft. Do not operate this craft with engine trim at negative angles
(boat bow pushed down) or with the trim system set at a roll (boat leaning sideways) at
high speeds. Craft may lean over on side or dive/plunge into waves. Instability in turns
may result.
2. Waves impair handling. Reduce the speed in rough seas.
3. Do not operate at high speed while in congested high traffic water ways or in weather
and sea condition of reduced visibility, high winds or large waves. Observe and obey
speed limit and no wake zones.
