WARNING! Never exceed the maximum recommended load when loading
the craft
. Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads
appropriately so that the boat is on an even keel. Heavy
equipment should usually be placed in the storage compartment
under the aft seat. If the boat is carrying the maximum number of
passengers, heavy items should be placed in the bow so that the
boat will not be tail-heavy. Always avoid placing heavy items high
up.
Engine and propeller
The maximum engine power for the boat is 150 hp (111 kW). Do not use the boat with an
engine that has an output higher than the kW limit given on the CE plate (150 hp) . Using a
more powerful engine than specified on the CE plate will void the boat’s warranty. Follow
the dealer’s instructions when choosing
the propeller for your boat.
Prevention of water incursion and stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck through fittings and closing valves
The boat has a rainwater drainage system, which means that rainwater in the open space of
the boat is drained when the boat is on the water. The system also functions when the boat
is out of water, provided that the bow is higher than the stern and closing valve is open. The
rainwater drainage valve is located underneath the middle hatch of the aft sofa. This drain
valve is meant to be shut only when at heavy load to prevent potential water incursion.
In
other loading conditions the drainage valve should remain open to let rainwater drain
from the boat
.
The boat has an electric bilge pump in the bilge (location shown in the picture below). The
function of the bilge pump is automatic meaning that it will automatically empty the bilge if
there will appear water. The capacity of the electric bilge pump is about
40 l/min. On the
right hand of the steering wheel you find the manual switch to turn on the electric bilge for
testing/checking the function. In the switch there is a light that will turn on if there is water
in the bilge. If the light turns on you should immediately check the bilge by open the
inspection hatch in the plywood bottom plate underneath the middle hatch in the aft sofa. If
the bilge is empty you can continue boating but if the light turns on again and pump starts to
empty the bilge you have to immediately drive to the shore and nearest harbour or landing-
stage and thereafter lift up the boat from water to find out the reason to the leakage.
The electric bilge pump can be checked by removing the plywood plate underneath the
middle hatch of the aft sofa. The pump can be lifted up by
gripping the hose as it is only submerged in a kind of pocket.
