- maintaining adequate lookout;
- visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun);
-
knowledge of the route (time required for navigation);
- rules of priority (other traffic); and
- width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore).
-
Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance
must be sufficient to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat's directional stability is poorer than at higher
speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats.
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 driving position by:
-
placing the load properly, the general rule is 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 can lead to large heeling
angles and loss of control over the boat.
NOTE! The boat is not designed to jump waves.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by flight. You can
check whether the engine has been airborne from the engine
history on the repair shop's computer.
5.9.7 Approaching and leaving the pier
Practise boat manoeuvring skills where there is ample space to learn how to approach a pier
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 pier.
Ensure that everyone on board who does not have to stand up is seated when you are
approaching the pier. Sudden steering movements may cause the boat to heel and injure
somebody.
Before docking, prepare the mooring lines at stern and bow. Approach the pier bow first at a
narrow angle. Just before touching the pier, steer against it and shift into reverse. Apply
