YAMARIN 53 Bow Rider

NOTE!
Make sure that water can flow unobstructed in the drainpipe. For instance,
autumn leaves may obstruct the water flow, which causes the undecked space
to flood, and later the bilge compartment, too.
NOTE!
There is always some condensing water in the bilge. Some water may also come
through hull bushings, particularly when the boat ages. Always remember to
check the bilge before you leave the boat at quay or buoy for a longer period and
before getting underway.
WARNING!
The boat's handling properties may become extremely dangerous, if there is
water in the bilge.

Stability and buoyancy
Please note, that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the
disposition of the masses aboard may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance
of your craft.
YAMARIN is equipped with flotation material, which shoudn’t be reduced, by means of them
the craft floats even when swamped.
In maximum loading condition boat floats even when swamped

Refuelling
Before you start to fill the fuel tank, turn off the engine and naturally any cigarettes. Do not
operate switches or appliances that can cause spark formation.
When filling the fuel tank, do not use a plastic funnel, which prevents discharging the
potential difference between the fuel pistol and the filling fitting. After filling (see tank
capacity in
specification
) check that no fuel has leaked to the bilge, and clean any spilled fuel
immediately.
Do not stow any reserve canisters in non-ventilated spaces or unsecured, or any equipment
containing petrol in spaces not intended for that.
Do not stow any loose items in the tank space, that may move and cause damage to fuel pipes
or hoses. Check annually, that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins. When hose or pump is
damageg or weaken, it should be removed immediately.
WARNING!
Fuel and its vapours are highly explosive. Extreme caution must be exercised
and these instructions must be followed when refuelling. The smell of fuel
always means that there is vaporised fuel in the boat.
If your boat has a teak finish and you think that fuel might splash onto it when refuelling, we
recommend that you wet the surface with water before refuelling. It prevents gasoline from
entering into wood, and no gasoline stains are left
