3 WARRANTY
This boat and the equipment installed by the boatbuilder are cove-
red by a warranty as specified in detail below. The engine, trim tabs,
compass, any navigation devices and other retrofitted devices are
subject to any warranty of their respective manufacturers. Sepa-
rate warranty cards for these devices and appropriate supplier infor-
mation are included as an attachment. For other warranty issues,
please contact your XO dealer indicated on the front cover.
4 BEFORE PUTTING THE BOAT
IN SERVICE
4.1 REGISTRATION
In many countries, even small motor boats must be registered.
Ask the local authorities about the registration provisions in your
country of residence. Typically, there is also a minimum age requi-
rement for operating registered craft. A separate boat operators
license may also be required.
4.2 INSURANCE
A boat insurance may compensate for damage occurring on water
and during transport. Check the coverage especially before lifting
the boat off water. The insurance may also have an indirect effect
on safety on water: if there is a shipwreck, you will be able to focus
specifically on saving lives. Insurance companies will provide detai-
led information of the different insurance options available.
4.3 TRAINING
There is a wide range of boating literature available, and boat clubs
and navigation courses are an excellent source of useful and practi-
cal boating information. These provide a solid base for your boating
skills, but proficiency in boat handling, navigation, mooring and
anchoring can be achieved only through extensive practical training.
5 BOAT PROPERTIES AND OPERATION
5.1 GENERAL
The owner’s manual is not intended as a complete maintenance guide
or repair manual; instead, its purpose is to help the user get familiar
with the properties of the boat and operate the boat appropriately.
5.2 BASIC SPECIFICATIONS
The basic specifications of the XO 250 Open are as follows:
Boat type: XO 250 Open
Design category: C (inshore)
Maximum allowed load: 848 kg
Please refer also to section 5.4: Loading
Design category C is defined as follows:
Category C: the boat is designed for voyages in waters where condi-
tions up to, and including, wind force 6 (approx. 14 m/s) and signifi-
cant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m (infrequently up to 4 m)
may be experienced. These conditions may occur in coastal waters,
estuaries, open lakes and rivers in reasonable weather conditions.
NOTE!
The significant wave height is the mean height of the top third
of the swell, which corresponds closely to the wave height esti-
mate of an experienced observer. Some individual waves may be
twice as high.
Main dimensions and capacity:
Boat length, beam, draught, total weight and other dimensions as
well as tank capacities are indicated in appendix 1. Technical spe-
cifications.

Attached close to the steering position, the builder’s plate inclu-
des some of the above information. Supplementary information
has been provided in relevant parts of this manual. Please note that
unlike the manufacturer’s recommended maximum load, the maxi-
mum load specified in the builder’s plate does not include fuel. The
load specified in the plate is 675 kg, which includes the weight of
persons (600 kg) and other stowage (75 kg).
5.3 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF PERSONS

Regardless of the total number of persons onboard, the total
weight of the persons and the stowage must not exceed the max-
imum recommended load (see section 5.4: Loading). Always use
the seats provided in the boat. If the boat is not equipped with
seats for seven passengers, the rest must sit on the deck in posi-
tions indicated in the figure.
