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 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 can
lead to large heeling angles and loss of control over the boat.
WARNING!
This boat was not designed for use in temperatures under 0° C. In
sub-zero temperatures, the drainage system freezes up and does
not work as it should.
NOTE! The boat is not designed to jump waves.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by jumping waves
with the boat. You can check whether the boat has been
airborne by reviewing the engine history on the
computer at the maintenance shop.
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
