2. OPERATING THE BOAT
__PAGE 8
WARNING
regular charts onboard. There is always a risk for technical malfunction of electronic
devices; therefore, regular charts are important as well.
2.1.8 Safety check of the boat

Check that hatches are closed and watertight.

Ventilate the stern sofa storage where the battery is installed. This is to remove
any battery gases.

Make sure that at least one person onboard knows the location of the
firefighting equipment.

Ensure that you have anchor with rope, emergency lights, communication
equipment, fendering ropes and a knife (to cut tangled ropes) onboard.

Check that bilge water is at minimum, and the electrical pump is working (test
using manual operation).

If darkness is expected, check navigation lights.

Check for any leakage of water into the boat, or fuel from tanks or fuel lines.
2.1.9 Inform about your route
Always inform someone on shore about your planned route, to enable fast support in
case of problems.
2.2 E
MERGENCY ENGINE SHUTDOWN SWITCH
Your boat is equipped with an engine shutdown safety switch built into the engine
control. The engine shutdown switch incorporates a shut-off switch and a lanyard.
Before operating the boat, one end of the lanyard must be connected to the shut-off
switch while the other end is connected to the operator (around the wrist or attached
to a hook in the life jacket).
If an emergency arises where the engine must be shut down, pull the lanyard cord to
release it from the shut-off switch, which in turn shuts down the engine. This switch is
designed to shut the engine off when the operator of the boat leaves the control station,
either accidently by falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent unintentional activation. Do not let the
lanyard become entangled and replace it if worn.
Wear the lanyard always when operating the boat. Use it to stop only in an emergency. DO
NOT use it to shut off the engine during normal operation. The boat may lurch heavily if
underway at high speeds, and passengers may hurt themselves or even fall overboard.
