DEAD MAN’S SWITCH
If your boat is equipped with a dead man’s switch, attach its lanyard
to yourself immediately after detaching the mooring lines. For more
detailed instructions, refer to the engine manual. It is very important
that the boat stops if you for some reason fall overboard or stumble on
board, particularly if you are alone. However, remember to detach the
lanyard from your wrist before docking or beaching operations to pre-
vent the engine from stopping unintentionally.
DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED
Although the Axopar 28 boats have passed the CE requirements for
swerve tests at full speed, we do not recommend making sharp turns
at high speed. When exceeding a certain speed limit any hull construc-
tion might lose its grip. This might lead to passengers hurtling out of the
boat, especially in single engine configuration.
• The maximum rated engine power is Open / OC 205kw / 275hv,
T-Top 223kw / 300hv
•
Do not use the boat if it has an engine with a higher power rating
than indicated on the capacity plate.
•
Do not drive the boat at high speed if the engine’s rig angle is nega-
tive (bow down).
• Do not drive at full speed on congested waterways or if the visibility
is limited because of weather conditions or waves.
•
Reduce your speed and wake as a matter of courtesy, and also for
the safety of yourself and others.
• Observe and obey speed limits and prohibitions associated with a
swell.
• Follow the rules of navigation and the requirements of COLREG
(Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Colli-
sions at Sea).
• Always make sure that you have the space needed for avoiding colli-
sions and coming to a halt and for evasive manoeuvres.
• Always use a dead man’s switch if available.
• Reduce speed in high seas for increased comfort and safety.
• Learn your boat’s speed potential. Utilise this knowledge for eco-
nomical and safe cruising.
•
Avoid using high speed along with large rudder movements when
going astern, because that places large strains on the rudder and
steering mechanism.
• Avoid sudden steering manoeuvres at high speeds.
• Avoid staying in the bow area when driving at high speeds.
DANGER!
A rotating propeller can be lethal for a swimmer or person who has
fallen overboard. Use the dead man’s switch and shut down the engine
when somebody climbs on board out of the water.
You should avoid sudden changes in direction of travel at high speed.
Let the boat come to a stop, and the engine rev down before shifting
between forward and reverse. Otherwise excessive strain is put on the
engine, which could cause the engine to stop. In the worst case, sea
water may enter the engine.
A right-handed propeller rotates clockwise and a left-handed propeller
anti-clockwise, seen from the stern. The rotation of the propeller is crit-
ical for steering the boat. The right handed propeller pushes the stern
of the boat to starboard when the engine is engaged ahead and to port
when it is going astern. The direction of rotation of the propeller has
a major impact on the turning radius. A right handed propeller gives a
smaller turning radius to port than to starboard. This is called the pro-
peller’s paddlewheel effect.
Your propellers have considerable propulsion power that provides pow-
erful acceleration. Take this into consideration to avoid dangerous situ-
