CENTURY BOATS OWNER’S MANUAL – GENERAL INFORMATION MODEL YEAR 2017
16
High speed operation in rough water requires quick reactions and adjustments to maintain control. Know your limits
and stay within them. Slowdown in rough seas. Always keeps one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the
throttle; constant adjustments are necessary for rapidly changing conditions. Small inputs of throttle and steering
are exaggerated at high speed.
Watch the tachometer to keep the engine within the full throttle operating range. See the engine Operator’s manual
for the proper tachometer reading at full throttle.
9. Anchoring
When anchoring, it is helpful to keep a few guidelines in mind.
•
Make sure the line is tied to the anchor.
•
Tie the other end of the line to the forward cleat or bow eye.
•
Head the boat into the wind or current over the spot where you want to lower the anchor.
•
Stop the boat before lowering the anchor.
•
When the anchor hits bottom, slowly back up the boat, keeping tension on the line. Let out an anchor line that
is 4 to 6 times the depth of the water. For example, if you are in 10 feet of water, let out 40 to 60 feet of line.
•
Check your position against the shoreline. If you are drifting, reset the anchor.
•
If you have a windless (power anchor), be sure you test it prior to going out.
•
Do not anchor from the bow and stern at the same time.
To avoid possible serious injury or death, adjust the
engine to an intermediate position as soon as the
boat is on plane to avoid possible ejection due to
boat spin-out. Do not attempt to turn the boat when
the engine is trimmed extremely under or in.
