BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Familiarize yourself with this owner’s manual.
Always check at least the following items before leaving:
Weather conditions and forecast
Take the wind, waves, and visibility into account. Are the design category, size, and equipment of
your boat, as well as the skills of the skipper and crew adequate for the water area you are aiming
for? During use, hull windows and other hatches must be battened down to prevent water incursion
Loading and stability
Do not overload the craft and distribute loads appropriately. To avoid impairment of the craft’s sta-
bility, do not place heavy items high up. Please consider that the stability of the boat is reduced if
people stand up when on-board during use.
Passengers
Ensure that there is Personal Flotation Device or Lifejackets for all people on-board. Agree crew
tasks before setting off.
Fuel and fuel system
Make sure that the boat has enough fuel. Keep in mind that rough conditions at sea impact on fuel
consumption and that it can increase by more than 30% when compared to calm conditions. As
a rule of thumb, you should aim for there being at least 20% left in the tank when arriving at your
destination. Regularly check the fuel filter to ensure that there is no water in the moisture trap lo-
cated under the fuel filter itself. The fuel filter should be changed 1-2 times per year depending on
engine hours and quality of fuel.
Engine and maneuvering equipment
Check the function and condition of steering, batteries and remote control and carry out routine
checks according to the engine manual
Boat’s seaworthiness
Check the boat’s seaworthiness: no fuel or water leaks are permitted, safety equipment must be
available on-board etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge!
Fastening of equipment
Check that all equipment and heavy items are positioned so that they are held in place during
travel at sea and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly overboard if they are not
fixed properly with press studs.
Nautical charts
If you are not navigating in familiar waters, ensure you have nautical charts on-board that cover a
large enough area. If your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, familiarize yourself with it before
setting off. Ensure that the plotter charts are of the latest edition
Leaving the berth
Agree with the crew who will release each mooring line, etc. Be careful not to let mooring lines or
the anchoring line to tangle in the propeller during maneuvering.
Obligatory equipment
What is considered obligatory equipment varies from country to country. Find out what is required
for your boat.
