(BS EN ISO 11592)
•
Maximum propulsion power rating for the craft is detailed above and on the CE plate
affixed to the vessel.
•
Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power larger than that posted on the
capacity label in the craft.
•
Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high
speed. Craft may lean over on side. Instability in turns may result. Use negative trim to
accelerate to planing speed from displacement speed and at lower planing speeds in
choppy water (applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim).
•
Do not operate at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or in
weather and sea conditions of reduced visibility high winds or large waves. Reduce
speed and wake as a courtesy and as a safety consideration to yourself and others.
Observe and obey speed limit and no wake zones.
•
Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG.
•
Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid
collisions.
Anchoring, Mooring & Towing
(ISO 15084)
Responsibility:
It is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to ensure that mooring lines, towing lines,
anchor chain(s) anchor line(s) and anchor(s) are adequate for the vessel’s intended use, i.e. the lines
or chains do not exceed 80% of the breaking strength of the respective strong point. Owners should
also consider what action will be necessary when securing a towline onboard.
Where non-metallic strong points are installed, their limited lifetime shall be taken into consideration.
They shall be exchanged once they show any signs of deterioration, visible surface cracks or
permanent deformation.
When mooring the vessel the aluminum towing eye in the bow and the holes in the engine bracket at
the stern should be used.
Replace strong points showing visible signs of deterioration.
Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the hull speed of a displacement
craft when being towed.
A towline shall always be made fast in such a way that it can be released when under
load.
It is advised to always carry an anchor of suitable type and size with sufficient warp to anchor in your
operational area and holding ground.
When towing the craft, ensure the craft is restrained onto the trailer using the towing eye at the bow
and tie down straps near the stern. It is not recommended the trailer winch is used to restrain the
craft at any time.
It is imperative to use an “approved” and correctly sized trailer when removing your Smartwave Boat
from the water for inspection, transportation or storage. Use of any other trailer or transportation
without the use of an outboard engine support bracket may void the boat warranty.
