BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Familiarise 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
waters you are headed for? Hull windows and hatches must be battened down during
heavy wind and rough seas to prevent water incursion.
− − − −
Loading and stability
Do not overload the craft, and distribute loads appropriately. Heavy items are to be placed
in the storage compartments underneath the aft bench. Please consider that the stability
of the boat is reduced if people stand up when on board.
− − − −
Passengers
Ensure that there are personal flotation devices or lifejackets for all people on board.
Agree on crew tasks before setting off.
− − − −
Fuel and fuel system
Make sure that the boat has enough fuel, including reserve fuel for e.g. heavy weather.
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 have at least 20% fuel left in the tank at the end of your trip. Regularly check the
fuel filter to ensure that there is no water in the moisture trap located 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 manoeuvring equipment
Check the function and condition of steering and remote control, and carry out routine
checks according to the engine manual.
− − − −
Seaworthiness
Check the boat’s seaworthiness: there are no fuel or water leaks, safety equipment must
be available on board etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge.
− − − −
Fastening of equipment
Check that all onboard items are positioned so that they are held in place also during rough
seas and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly over board if they are
not fixed properly with press studs.
− − − −
Nautical charts
If you are not navigating in completely familiar waters, ensure you have nautical charts on
board that cover a large enough area! If your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, learn
to use 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 tangle in the propeller during manoeuvring.
