NOTE! There is always some amount of condensed water in the bilge. As
the boat ages, there is a risk that a small amount of water may
come through the hull bushings. Always remember to check the
bilge, via the inspection hatch under the aft seat, before you leave
the boat at quay or buoy and always before setting off.
5.6.2 Stability and buoyancy
Please note, that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the
distribution of the weight onboard may significantly affect the stability, trim and
performance of your craft. However, please remember that large breaking waves always
present a serious danger to stability.
The boat does not float if filled with water. In accordance with the Recreational Craft
Directive boats with a length of 6 metres or more do not need to float if filled with water.
5.7 Avoiding the risk of fire or danger of explosion
5.7.1 Refuelling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling,
do not use switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
When filling the fuel tank, do not use a plastic funnel, as this prevents discharge of the static
electricity between the fuel nozzle and the filling fitting.
Useful tips: As your boat has a teak deck and you are concerned about fuel spillage when
refuelling, we recommend that you wet the teak surface with water before refuelling. Once
the wood is saturated with water it won't absorb any petrol.
Always keep a spare can of fuel onboard. A suitable place for stowing the spare can,
especially considering fire safety, is either of the anchor boxes in the stern. There is no risk of
gasified fuel coming into contact with battery compartments or the electrical system from
either of these boxes.
Do not stow any loose items under aft seat that, if moved, could prevent fuel from going to
the engine. This is particularly important for items that may move against hoses running to
or from the fuel filter. Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins.
Please note that, depending on the trim of the boat or the boat's heeling angle, it might not
be possible to use the full capacity of the tanks.
WARNING!
Petrol vapours are explosive. Extreme caution must be exercised
and these instructions must be followed when refuelling. The
smell of petrol always means that there are petrol vapours in the
boat.
