You must learn the rules of traffic on sea lanes and follow the international regulations on
how to avoid collisions 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 and 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 in rough seas can lead to
loss of control over the boat and large heeling angles.
NOTE! The boat is not designed to jump waves.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by flight. It is
possible to check whether the engine has been airborne from the
engine history on the repair shop's computer.
5.9.7 Approaching and leaving the dock
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a
dock before entering 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.
Before docking, prepare the mooring lines at stern and bow. Approach the dock bow first at
an acute 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, whichever 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.
