Before docking, prepare the mooring lines at stern and bow. Approach the dock bow first at a slight angle.
Just before touching the dock, steer into it and shift into reverse. Apply throttle quickly and sharply. The
boat will stop and turn parallel to the dock. If possible, make the approach into the wind or current, which -
ever is the strongest. This makes departing easier, as the wind or current will push the bow out from the
dock. The easiest way to depart is to first push the stern as far away from the dock as possible, and then
slowly reverse away from the dock into open water.
The propeller is designed to have the best grip in forward gear. Therefore, propeller performance is weaker
in reverse. The steering response is also not as good in reverse as in forward gear.
WARNING! The boat is fast. If you are planing, it takes time to come to a stop. Slow down
in time before anchoring, beaching or docking. Learn to estimate the distance
the boat needs to stop. Remember that steering control is poor if there is no
traction.
WARNING! Do not try to stop the boat with your hands, and do not put your arm or foot
between the boat and the dock, the shore or another vessel! Practise beaching
and docking under favourable conditions! Use moderate but firm engine power!
NOTE! When securing your boat, take into consideration the possibility of changes in
wind direction, rising or sinking of the water level, bow wakes, etc. You can get
more information from your insurance company, for example.
9.8. Using the canopy
The canopy is designed to withstand a maximum speed of 30 knots at sea, and 50 km/h in road transport.
All press studs must be properly fastened when using the canopy. We recommend that you remove the
sides and back of the canopy to make it fit into the canopy box more easily. Then, fold the upper parts of
the sides entirely on top of the roof, so that no fabric remains where the corners of the canopy supports
are. Finally, roll up the roof part along with the sides folded on top of it, and lower the canopy into the can -
opy box.
NOTE! The windscreen and canopy do not necessarily form a watertight seal. Water
may enter the boat between the canopy and windscreen when the canopy is up.
9.9.
Doors between the windscreen and the control consoles
Doors must always be kept shut and locked while driving.
WARNING! Large waves or gusts of wind may slam the door shut also when the boat is sta -
tionary. It is thus recommended to always keep the door closed when passage
through the bow deck is not being used.
10. Proper use – other recommendations and guidelines
10.1. Man overboard
It is always a serious situation when someone falls overboard. Rescue procedures should be practised in
advance during good weather, because it is too late for practice when someone has actually fallen into the
water.
