NOTE!
Use navigation lights in darkness.
Always adjust your speed to prevailing conditions and the environment. Take into account the follow -
ing:
-
waves (also consult the passengers on what is a comfortable speed);
- your own bow wake (greatest at planing speed, smallest at speeds under 5 knots);
-
maintaining adequate lookout;
- visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun);
- familiarity with the route (time required for navigation);
- rules of priority (other traffic); and
- width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore).
-
Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance must be sufficient
to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat’s directional stability is poorer than at higher
speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats.
You must learn the rules of traffic on sea lanes and follow the international regulations on how to avoid col -
lisions at sea, COLREG. Navigate with care and use new or updated nautical charts.
The running position of the boat greatly affects its handling characteristics and
fuel consumption as well as visibility from the driver’s position. You can affect the running position by:
-
placing the load properly – the general rule being that you should place as little weight in the bow
as possible; and
- adjusting the trim angle.
The combination of the right running position with the right speed also makes driving in rough seas safer
and more comfortable.
WARNING! A high speed and sudden manoeuvring can lead to large heeling angles and loss
of control over the boat.
WARNING!
This boat was not designed for use in temperatures under 0° C. In sub-zero tem -
peratures, the drainage system freezes up and does not work as it should.
NOTE! The boat is not designed to jump waves. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by jumping waves with the boat. You can check whether the boat has
been airborne by reviewing the engine history on the computer at a mainte -
nance shop.
9.7. Approaching and leaving the dock
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a dock before enter -
ing a crowded marina.
A very gentle application of throttle does not generate sufficient steering power. Sharp but short throttle
applications enable efficient steering movements when approaching the dock.
Ensure that everyone on board who does not have to stand up is seated when you are approaching the
dock. Sudden steering movements may cause the boat to heel and injure somebody.
