3.11 Engine installation
Outboard motor power:
danger
Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury,
death or boat damage.
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum
horsepower limit of a boat can:
1) result in severe handling and/or stability problems
2) place too much weight at the transom altering the
designed flotation characteristics of the boat
3) cause the boat to break apart particularly around
the transom area.
The maximum motor power to be used see 2.9 of this
manual.
USE A LANYARD SWITCH. This switch will stop
the engine if, for any reason, the operator leaves the
control, see paragraph 5.
Mounting the engine:
•
Make sure you are standing safely and stable.
•
Unlock the motor for tilting and mount the
motor on the transom.
•
The motor must be in the middle of the transom
for proper operation.
•
Screw the brackets securely on the stern.
Position of the outboard engine:
The outboard motor must be so installed that in the
normal running position, it stands vertically in the
water.
This means that the “cavitation plate” on the low side
or the outboard engine is horizontal in the water if
the boat is lying in its normal position. All Talamex
boats are designed for using a short shaft motor The
motor position is essential for the right sailing
features. Make sure the motor is trimmed properly,
eventually use the spacers (not delivered with all
models) to determine the right height of the motor.
A motor installed improperly, may cause spray water
or cavitation (racing of the motor)
Starting the engine:
•
Pull the boat into the water.
•
Secure the motor in the downwards position
•
Stand securely and start the engine.
•
Avoid very high speeds when running the boat
backwards, water can come in the boat over the
transom.
3.12 Installing the console (Silverline / S-Line)
We recommend to always use the expertise of a
Talamex dealer for installation of a console.
•
Place the console on the desired spot in the boat
on the anti-skid foam.
•
Mark the areas where the holes should be drilled
through the aluminium bottom.
•
Use grease while drilling the hole (it is possible
to drill through the anti-skid foam).
•
Use aluminium flatserts to create a screw-thread
into the aluminium bottom.
•
Use sealant to avoid corrosion of the drilled
holes.
•
Install the console by bolting the console onto
the flatserts.
3.13 Deflation
General information:
NOTE : Boat should be clean and dry before rolling
up for storage. Remove any sand and debris that may
cling to the fabric.
When deflating the boat, do not deflate one chamber
at once. Deflate all chambers evenly; this prevents
damage to the bulkheads in the boat.
Deflating the boat:
•
Lay the boat down on the floor.
•
Push the valve once to open it.
•
Release some air from all chambers.
•
Make sure the valve stays open (to enable the air
to get out during folding).
•
Push evenly on the whole boat to let as much air
out as possible.
