6. Operation
CAUTION
According to national regulations in some countries, it is a legal requirement to
wear a life vest at all times.
• Check that the boat and its equipment are in seaworthy condition.
• Always listen to long-term weather forecasts when planning longer trips.
• Always make sure there is enough fuel and freshwater in the tanks.
• Always keep the engine compartment closed when starting the engine.
• Check that all items on board are properly stowed and adequately
secured to manage rough sea and wind conditions.
• Make sure that the swim ladder is raised out of the water before moving
off.
• Make sure that the steering is correctly positioned before starting.
• All persons on board should wear an appropriate life vest when on deck.
6.4.2. Leaving the jetty
Before casting off, consider how to best leave the jetty.
• Check what the wind direction is.
• Using a bow thruster, move the bow out and then engage the propeller.
• If the boat has two engines, move away from the jetty by engaging the engine nearer the jetty
astern at idling speed and engaging the other engine ahead at idling speed on.
• The boat will swing out from the jetty astern. As the bow will move against the jetty, fend off
properly.
With only one engine this can be a little more challenging, especially if the wind is pressing the boat
firmly against the jetty, you have to use a spring to get the stern out.
• Firmly fend off the bow from the jetty.
• Take a line from the bow around a bollard or cleat, so that it can be easily let go.
• Engage idling speed ahead and turn the rudder so that the stern glides out from the jetty.
• When the boat has reached a position, where it can safely be reversed, release and retrieve the
line, quickly center the rudder and engage astern.
CAUTION
Gather in all lines and fenders while you are still in sheltered water. A rope around
the propeller can disable a boat.
6.4.3. Driving the boat
Going out in a motor boat involves responsibility not just to those on board, but also to others we meet on
the water. Showing consideration for others makes boating comfortable. Everyone has the same right to
be at sea, whatever kind of boat they go afloat in.
The physical laws that apply to a boat are rather different from, for example, those affecting a car, as are
the possibilities of influencing its maneuverability.
