Modes and their draft
A.
Harbor mode = 0.5 m / 1.6 ft
B.
Shallow mode = 0.5 m / 1.6 ft
C.
Planing mode = 0.9 m / 3 ft
D.
Foiling mode (when not foiling) = 1.5 m / 5 ft
Foiling mode (when foiling) = 0.8 m / 2.6 ft
Error messages and notifications in the user interface
When error messages and notifications are displayed in the user interface, always follow
the instructions on how to proceed. Examples of error messages are alerts of deviations in
temperature and capacity, such as:
• High propulsion unit temperature
• High battery compartment temperature
• Low insulation resistance
• Overheated inverters
Loss of propulsion, motor and converter high temperature, and very low insulation resistance are
displayed as trip alarms. Low state of charge is indicated as follows :
• 20% – “battery low”
• 10% – “battery critical low”
• 0% – “battery empty”
Software updates
Software updates, such as bug fixes or improvements, are pushed to the boat when it is
connected. The user interface indicates that an update is available. If the software update fails,
you will be prompted every three hours to install the update. An update usually takes about 1–3
minutes, depending on the boat’s connection speed.
The Candela app
At the purchase of your C-8, you will get access to the Candela app. Visit candela.com to
download it. The app can be used to control and monitor functions in the user interface, such as:
• Lights
• Boat location
• State of charge
• Trip history
• Geofence Security (anti-theft, optional)
Retraction modes
The aft and front foil systems are retractable and designed to operate in four different driving
modes (retraction modes). The front foil system is only extended during Foiling mode and is fully
retracted in the foil garage during the other driving modes.
The retraction modes are selected in the Retraction settings, in the user interface.

Harbor mode. The entire foil system is retracted above the waterline. Apply when moored and
ashore.
Shallow mode. The aft foil system is lowered into the water, just above the keel line. Apply at
low speeds only, for example, when leaving harbor. The throttle and steering ability are limited in
Shallow mode.
Planing mode, “boat mode”. The aft foil system is further lowered into the water. Apply in rough
seas and for speeds up to 14kn. A higher speed, combined with water friction will reduce the
driving range.
Foiling mode. The aft foil system and front foil system are fully extended. Foiling mode can be
applied for all speeds. Foiling above surface requires a speed above 17kn. Foiling is the most
efficient way of driving, enabling the longest driving range.
NOTICE! Always apply Harbor mode when not using the boat. Algae growth on the foil
system can seriously affect boat efficiency and range.
