1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT THIS OWNER’S MANUAL
The purpose of this owner’s manual is to help you to use your boat in a safe and
enjoyable way. The manual includes detailed information about the boat, its equipment
and accessories, as well as instructions for use and correct maintenance of the boat.
Please read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself with your boat before using it.
At Anytec, we believe that you shall be free to choose a suitable outboard engine for
your specific needs. For this reason, the boat manual cannot be very detailed on engine
related topics. Often, a reference to the engine manual or other specialised components
is made. We advise you to read the engine and engine instrumentation manuals carefully,
and do not hesitate to ask for help from experts.
Likewise, the boat may have been customised or modified by another party than Anytec,
either when new or later in its lifetime. This manual alone may not be enough if your
boat deviates from the data, standard equipment and optional equipment specified in this
manual. Please consult the party who modified the boat and any manuals provided by
them.
The owner's manual alone is not a sufficient source of information on seamanship and
boating safety. If this is your first boat or the boat type is not familiar to you, ensure
your safety and comfort by obtaining sufficient experience in handling and using the boat
before you assume the responsibilities of the boat master. Your boat dealer, local
boating clubs and national motor boat and sailing associations will provide you with more
information about local training in boating and will be able to recommend qualified
instructors.
In some countries, operation of the craft may require a permit or authorisation, and
special regulations may apply. Your boat may also have to be registered with the proper
navigation authorities. A Declaration of Conformity is part of the documents that you
receive with the boat and it must be kept aboard with other official documents at all
times, and may be mandatory when registering the boat.
This owner's manual is not a detailed service and troubleshooting guide. In case of
problems please contact your local Anytec dealer. Modifications that affect the safety
features of the boat are to be performed only with the builder's written authorisation.
The builder assumes no responsibility for unauthorised modifications. Always keep your
boat in good condition and make allowance for the deterioration that may occur over
time. Be careful to observe any signs of wear caused by age, heavy use or abuse. Any
boat, no matter how strong it is, may sustain severe damage if used inappropriately.
Always adjust the speed and the heading of your boat to suit the prevailing sea
conditions. Make sure the forecasted wind and sea conditions match the design category
of your boat and that you and your crew can navigate the boat in the conditions that
may arise. Wind and sea conditions for design category C range from storm to strong
wind with a danger of unusual waves and gusts. These are dangerous conditions that
necessitate a skilled and fit crew and a well-maintained boat.

1. INTRODUCTION__PAGE 4
If your craft is equipped with a life raft, study its instructions carefully. The boat must be
equipped with the appropriate safety equipment (life vests, safety harnesses, etc.) as
required for the boat type and the weather conditions. In some countries, this
equipment is compulsory. The crew must be familiar with the correct use and operation
of all safety equipment and be able to handle the boat in emergencies (including rescuing
a person who has fallen overboard, towing, etc.). Yachting schools and clubs arrange
rescue training and practice opportunities on a regular basis.
Everyone aboard the craft should wear a suitable personal flotation device (life vest or
boating vest). Fast assistance is crucial because cold waters quickly reduce the ability to
swim and climb onboard. Please note that in some countries national boating regulations
may require everyone aboard to wear a personal flotation device whenever on board.
Finally, please pay respect to the environment by complying with good practice as well as
local, national and international (Marpol) regulations. Thank you!
Please retain this manual and provide it to the boat's next owner if you sell your
boat.

trusted insurance company in your country before you own the boat.
1.8SECURMARK ANTI-THEFT MARKING AND TRACKING SYSTEM
Your boat has a unique code number sprayed in different places of your boat: to prevent
theft, and locate the boats after a theft. It is visible through special tools used by the
authorities. The code is added at the factory and enables them to access the boat and
owner details from a database.
The SecurMark system requires a subscription and Anytec pre-pays it for the first 12
months after you register your ownership details. We encourage you to activate
SecurMark and continue the subscription after the first 12 months of free service. You
may also mark and register your engine. Ask your dealer for help to register and provide
further information if needed. Anytec bag provides the printed info from SecurMark.

WARNING
2. OPERATING THE BOAT
Before operating the boat for the first time, make sure that you read and understand the
operation and safety topics given in owner’s manual.
2.1 SAFETY ROUTINES BEFORE LEAVING SHORE
Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual. Always check the following items before
leaving the shore:
2.1.1 Weather and forecast
Consider the wind, waves and visibility. Are the design category, size and equipment of
your boat, as well as the skills of the skipper and crew, sufficient for going to the water?
In strong winds and rough seas all portholes, doors, hatches and vents must be closed to
prevent water from getting into/onto the boat.
2.1.2 Loading
Do not overload the boat, distribute the loads appropriately. For stability: do not place
heavy loads high up (refer chapter 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5). You can always check the load/CE-
plate for the maximum allowed loading.
2.1.3 Passengers
Ensure that there are life jackets for everybody on board and instruct passengers to be
seated while the boat is in motion. Refer chapter 3.6 for the location of passengers.
Make sure all members of the crew understand their specific tasks, before leaving shore.
It is recommended that at least 2 passengers can operate the boat.
2.1.4 Fuel
Check that there is enough fuel, plus a reserve tank for harsh weather etc. Look for any
fuel leaks. The fuel lid requires a tool to be opened. The tool is found in the glove
department (secured in a nylon clip).
2.1.5 Engine
Check the functioning and condition of steering, electrical equipment and batteries, also
carry out the routine checks specified in the engine instructions handbook.
2.1.6 Fastening of objects and closing of doors and hatches
Make sure everything on board is secured properly (preferably stored in the hatches) in
the event of high winds, fast maneuverers and rough seas. Check that the deck drains are
not blocked. Close and secure the hatches and doors to avoid water ingress, be extra
careful to ensure that the access door to the electrical compartment (under stern deck)
is closed and locks are tightened.

2. OPERATING THE BOAT__PAGE 8
2.1.7 Nautical charts
While navigating on unfamiliar waters, ensure that you have nautical charts covering a
sufficiently large area. Even if you are having a chart plotter, you should carry regular
charts onboard. There is always a risk for technical malfunction of electronic devices;
therefore, regular charts are also important.
2.1.8 Safety check of the boat
Check that water-exposed hatches are closed and watertight.
Check that the access door to the electrical compartment (under stern deck) is
closed and locks are tightened.
Make sure that at least one person onboard knows the location of the
firefighting equipment.
Check that bilge water is at minimum, and the electrical pump is working
(manual operation using helm push button).
Check the navigation lights, if you expect darkness
Check for any leakage of water into the boat/fuel from tanks/fuel lines.
2.1.9 Inform about your route
Always inform someone on the shore about your planned route, to enable fast support
in case of problems.
2.1.10 Safety equipment
The sea can be unpredictable. Be prepared by carrying the following equipment, as a
minimum, at all times:
Life jackets for each person onboard
Appropriate weatherproof clothing
Compass
Charts (printed)
Anchor and line
Towing and mooring ropes
First-aid kit and thermal blanket
Bucket
Emergency flares/signals
VHF radio and/or water protected GSM phone (subject to coverage)
Binoculars
Knife (to cut tangled ropes)
Drinking water

2. OPERATING THE BOAT__PAGE 9
WARNING
2.2 EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUTDOWN SWITCH
An engine shutdown safety switch is built into the engine control; it incorporates a shut-
off switch and a lanyard. Before operating the boat, connect one end of the lanyard to
the shut-off switch while the other end to the operator.
If the engine needs an urgent shut down: pull the lanyard cord to release it from the
shut-off switch, which in turn shuts down the engine. This switch is designed to shut the
engine off when the boat operator leaves the control station, either accidentally by falling
into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
The lanyard should be long enough to prevent unintentional activation. Do not let the
lanyard become entangled and replace it if worn.
Wear the lanyard at all times while operating the boat. Use it to stop the engine only in an
emergency. DO NOT use it to shut off the engine during normal operation.
2.3 MAN-OVERBOARD PREVENTION AND RECOVERY
The passenger and working areas of the boat are described in chapter 3.6.
Other areas must not be occupied when underway due to the risk of falling, potentially
into the water.
If a person has fallen into the water in calm seas, the person can use the rescue ladder
located on the stern platform, see figure below. Always turn off the engine using the
emergency (dead-man) switch before using the ladder. The ladder can be pulled down by
a person already in the water. In harsh weather, or if the person is physically not able to
climb, it may be hard to use the ladder alone and help from a person onboard may be
needed. Therefore, it is recommended for 2 persons onboard, especially in harsh
weather conditions.
Chapter 4.8 further describes MOB rescue/swim ladder.

2. OPERATING THE BOAT__PAGE 10
WARNING
A rotating propeller can be harmful for a swimmer or person who has fallen overboard, or a
person using the ladder to board the boat or to enter the water. Shut down the engine and
activate the emergency switch (dead man’s switch) if there is any person in the water behind
the engine, and always before using the ladder.
2.4 FIRE PREVENTION
Fire is a serious boating hazard; because boats burn quickly. Do not remain onboard and
fight a fire for longer. If the fire is out of control and cannot be put out with the fire
suppression equipment onboard, abandon the ship immediately.
It is the ultimate responsibility of the boat owner to inspect and maintain the boat’s fire
prevention and fire-fighting equipment. This chapter covers fire prevention and fighting
measures related to the fuel-driven systems onboard the boat. For details of each
system/component, please refer to their specific chapters (e.g. chapter on stove, heater
and fuel tank).
2.4.1 Fire extinguishers
There are 2 fire extinguishers and they are located as follows:
inside the starboard helm, behind the door.
inside starboard stern sofa, under the lid.
Safety labels are attached to show the location. Make sure you know how to remove it
and use the extinguishers. The boat, when in service, shall always be equipped with the
following portable fire extinguisher class:
Fire rating: 2 pcs, rated at 13A 89B C with a minimum of 2 kg capacity.
The boat owner/operator should:
1. Check the fire-fighting equipment at regular intervals as indicated on the
equipment.
2. Replace portable fire extinguisher equipment, if expired or discharged, with
devices of identical fire-fighting capacity.
3. Ensure that the fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible when the boat is
occupied.
4. Inform the crew members and passengers about the location and operation of
the fire-fighting equipment, the fire port, escape routes and exits.
5. Unlock any deck hatches to enable firefighting inside storage areas and keep
the fire port free.
6. Keep the bilges clean and check for fuel and gas vapours or fuel leaks
frequently.

Never obstruct passageways to exits/hatches, safety controls (fuel valves, LPG valves,
electrical switches, etc.), portable fire extinguishers and fire ports; never allow unqualified
personnel to modify any of the boat’s systems. Have the fire-fighting equipment checked at
the intervals indicated on the equipment.
2.4.2 Fire port
The PS stern sofa is equipped with a fire port. The port makes it possible to detect and
fight a fire below deck (bilge/tank area). The fire port location is shown in the figure
given below. It has a transparent cover, and an opening suitable for the fire extinguisher
nozzle. In case of fire inside the bilge/ below deck area, introduce the nozzle to the fire
port opening and activate the extinguisher(s). Replace the fire port if worn or damaged.

2.4.3 Refueling
Before you start to fill the engine fuel tank, turn off the engine and naturally
any cigarettes or any other open flames like stoves, candles or lamps with
flames. It’s not allowed to use switches or appliances that can cause spark
formation during fueling.
The fuel lid requires a tool to be opened. The tool is found in the glove department
(secured in a nylon clip).
When filling the fuel tank, do not use a plastic funnel between the fuel gun or fuel
container and the boat, as it prevents discharging the electric charge difference between
the fuel pistol and the filling fitting and could cause a spark.
Always clean up any spillage immediately after fueling.
Loose reserve fuel containers onboard, should be stored in one of the ventilated and
drained storages outside the cabin. Always check fuel containers before each trip to
detect leakages or smell of fumes.
Fuel and its vapors are highly explosive. Extreme caution must be exercised, and these
instructions must be followed when refueling. The smell of fuel always means that there is
vaporized fuel in the boat. Never store fuel close to electric circuits or batteries. Do not use
plastic funnels when fueling.
2.4.4 Webasto heater, optional equipment (diesel fuel)
The heater is installed under the starboard helm, and is connected directly to a separate
diesel fuel tank located in the PS bow storage just in front of the helm. It draws cool air
under the helm, and releases hot air at the base of the windows and below the helm (see
figure). It can be overheated or damaged if air vents are blocked.
To inspect the heater and its connections, open the storage door below the starboard
helm and look to the top of the storage room.
