4. BOAT ASSEMBLING
Step 1:
Open the boat
Step 2:
Assemble and install
steering console
Step 3:
Install outboard motor
Step 4:
Inflate the boat
•Inspect the condition of the package for and report to
your dealer if you find any damages;
•Remove all the packaging plastic and cardboard
arefully. Do not use knife;
•Check the completeness of the boat and make sure
that no any parts are missing. You must report the
missing part to your dealer immediately.
Unpack the steering console. Connect and secure the
steering cable to the steering system. Install steering
wheel. If your boat is expected to feature electric start –
install the battery tray on the deck under steering
console. Assemble and mount control box on the right
side of the console. Make sure the handle in upper
position does not touch the railing. Install the steering
console on the deck with bolts with washers and tighten
them.
Install the outboard motor following the motor user’s
manual.
•Open the pump, connect the pump hose to the pump
onto inflation opening;
•Connect bayonet adapter of the pump hose to the
valve;
•First, inflate the aft compartments to a pressure slightly
below the nominal pressure, then the middle ones, and
finally the bow compartment to the nominal pressure.
In this case the flexible baffles in the tube will move
towards the rear compartments and equalize the
pressure in all compartments. You may use the
manometer to measure the pressure level to ensure
the best performance of the boat and make sure that
the pressure is about nominal level. Nominal tube
pressure is mentioned on Capacity Plate
IMPORTANT!!! WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE BOAT
ASSEMBLING AND THE OUTBOARD MOTOR RIGGING
TO BE MANAGED BY CERTIFIED BOAT DEALER ONLY
7
OVERINFLATING AND OVERHEATING OF YOUR BOAT MAY
CAUSE THE BOAT DAMAGE. AVOID OVERPUMPING THE
BOAT, LEAVING THE BOAT NOT COVERED, USING HIGH-
PRESSURE INFLATORS. USE MANOMETER TO CHECK THE
PRESSURE IN THE TUBE REGULARLY

5. VALVES OPERATION
a) INFLATION-DEFLATION VALVE OPERATION:
b) OVERPRESSURE VALVE OPERATION:
Inflation-deflation valve has PUSH-PUSH
operating system:
•Pressing the central pin the valve;
•Switches between OPEN and
CLOSED.
To inflate the tube put the pin to CLOSED
position (pin moves UP). To deflate the
tube put the pin to OPEN position (pin
moves DOWN). After inflation every valve
must be closed with the valve plug tight to
ensure airtightness of the tube.
Overpressure valve protects the boat
against unexpected pressure increase
over the maximum working limit.
In case of any tube pressure increase or
overinflating the gasket of the valve will
open automatically, release all excessive
air and bring the tube pressure to nominal.
Make sure that the valve cup is always
clean. Check the valve operation during
boat maintenance.
8
DRAIN HOSES OPERATION:
6. BOLD DRAIN SISTEM
The boat’s cockpit is self-draining. The
drainage system has two drain hoses
(1).To drain the water from the cockpit,
disconnect the cord (2) of the hose (1)
from the clamcleats (3) and straighten the
drain hose behind the transom. After
deck draining, reverse the steps. To
pump water from deck below use the
bilge pump (option 5), when the boat is in
the water.
To transport or store the boat when the
boat is on dry land, drain the water below
the deck. To do this, open the hull-drain
plag (4) and the water will flow out by
gravity.
To drain water effectively, regularly
inspect the drainage system and ensure
that it is always clean, free of debris and
damage.

7. ELECTRIC SYSTEM
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the boat wiring or wiring diagram without notice.

•Never overfill your tank or spill fuel - spilling fuel into the engine or
passenger compartment can increase the risk of explosion or fire,
and spilling fuel into the water will harm the marine environment.
•Never smoke while refueling, fuel system service or inspection.
•The boat battery switch and all electric equipment on board must be
switched off during refueling, fuel system service or inspection.
•Ask your passengers to exit the boat until you're finished fueling, for
their safety.
•Never use ethanol fuel - it can cause your equipment to malfunction.
•After fueling, open any ports, hatches and doors to ventilate fumes
that may have entered your boat during the fueling process.
•Perform the 'sniff test' to check your bilges - make sure you don't
smell gasoline. Stop using the boat if you smell gas immediately.

14. MOTOR TYPE, INSTALLATION AND OPERATING
The maximum and recommended powers are listed in the table of technical specifications.
For smaller outboards use the tiller control. For 25HP and up we strongly suggest to use the
steering console with remotesystem.
NEVER USE MOTOR WITH POWER HIGHER THAN
INDICATED, AND MOTOR WEIGHT HEAVIER THAN
INDICATED ON THE MANUFACTURER'S ID PLATE. IT
COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, AND YOU
WOULD BE BREAKING THE LAW
13.1. MOTOR SHAFT LENGTH
The motor shaft length must be same as required for your boat (see boat
specifications). Using motors with other shaft length may cause the boat damage and
will void warranty.
13.2. PROPELLER
To choose the optimal propeller your boat and its motor must be tested at sea. A lower pitch
is better for the boat either heavily loaded or used tor water skiing. A higher pitch will
increase the speed potential, when loaded light.
13.3. MOTOR INSTALLATION
Install the motor along the centerline of the boat in the middle on the mounting plate (1).
Fully tighten the clamps (2) and tighten them again after 15 minutes of running. Secure the
motor to the transom with safety cable. All motors are equipped with a security stop switch
lanyard (3). Always use it!
THE BOLTING OF THE MOTOR TO THE TRANSOM IS
SUGGESTED FROM 10HP AND HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED FROM 25 HP AND ABOVE
15

1. FOR NOT BOLTED MOTORS TO THE TRANSOM:
ALWAYS CHECK IF THE CLAMPS ARE PROPERLY
TIGHTENED BEFORE DEPARTURE AND ON THE WAY.
2. FOR OUTBOARDS WITH REMOTE STEERING UNIT:
CHECK IF ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND NUTS ARE IN
GOOD ORDER AND TIGHTENED
13.4. MOTOR ADJUSTMENTS
The motor requires an adjustment of its position in trim and height for better performance in
different navigation conditions and load distribution in the boat.
b) Motor trim:
The motor must be positioned so that the axis of the propeller is parallel with the water
surface. For better performance it can be adjusted either manually or with power trim, if the
motor is equipped with it.
Motor tilted inwards too near the
transom: the boat will bow down.
Optimum position: axis of the propeller is
parallel with the water surface.
Motor tilted outwards too far from the
transom: the boats will porpoise.
1. MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS OF THE MOTOR ONLY
WHEN THE MOTOR IS SHUT OFF.
2. FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT MOTOR ITSELF
REFER TO THE MOTOR’S MANUAL
а) Motor height
For different makes of motors, even inside
the same type of shaft, the length of the
shaft can vary. It is necessary to add a
shim to ensure correct height.
Correct motor height:it may vary from 0
to 30mm clearance between keel line and
anti-cavitation plate of the motor. Check the
motor manual for exact instructions.
Motor adjusted too high : propeller
aeration may occur with loss of forward
thrust (capitation).
16

15. BOAT OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Evenly distribute the load. (For example, fixing the fuel tank on the
front can help to offset the weight of the outboard).
a) Distribution of the load
1. A BAD DISTRIBUTION OF THE LOAD CAN
DESTABILIZETHE BOAT AND MAY RESULT IN A
LOSS OF CONTROL.
2. THE BOAT REACTS MORE ROUGH WHEN LIGHTLY
LOADED.
3. BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL WHEN YOU
ACCELERATE OR CHANGE DIRECTION.
4. ADJUST LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND TRIM WHEN
NAVIGATION CONDITIONS OR WAVES DIRECTION
CHANGE.
b) Check-list before departure:

1. GET INFORMED on local regulations and hazards
related to water activities and boat operation.
2. CHECK weather forecast, local currents, tides and
wind conditions.
3. ADVISE someone on land of time you plan to be back.
4. EXPLAIN basic boat operation to all passengers.
5. BE SURE that one of your passengers can operate the
boat in case of emergency.
6. LEARN how to determine the distance you can cover
with a full fuel tank. Always be sure you have enough
fuel to reach a shelter.
CHECK THE GOOD WORKING OF THE BOAT AND
EQUIPMENT:
1. CHECK inflation pressure.
2. INSPECT the valve caps. Remove the bailer plug.
3. CHECK the tightening of the motor clamps. For not
bolted, secure the engine with a safety lanyard.
4. TOP OFF fuel and oil level.
5. CHECK the secure and correct installation of fuel tank.
6. BE SURE motor is not in gear before starting.

c. Rules to observe during navigation:

15.AVOID THE RISKS OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
HAZARDS : Ensure your fuel system is in a good
with no leaks or smell, and maintain it properly.
16.AVOID SMOKING ON BOARD.
17.IF FUEL HAS SPILLED ON THE FLOOR: wash off with
water. Stop operating the boat if you discoverany fuel
leak or fuel smell until you find and fix theproblem.
d) Mooring and towing:
•MOORING: use the buoyancy tubes' lateral D-rings. When moored, the self-bailers
should remain open to drain the rainwater.
•TOWING: fully inflatable boats should always be towed using a bridle. Use the 2 lateral
D-rings (fixed on the buoyancy tubes) made for this purpose. For rigid inflatable boats
(RIB), use a single line attached to the mooring ring.
1. Towing must be done at low speed (not more then 10
km/h) and in goodweather conditionswith nowaves.
2. Towing boat must be supervised at all time oftowing.
To lift boat and place it on davits, use the factory installed lifting eyes only, or have them
installed by your Dealer if the boat is not equipped. Use only certified and rated lifting slings,
appropriate for your boat and motor weight.
e) Lifting the boat:
1. NOBODY ON BOARD WHENLIFTING.
2. WHEN LIFTED, THE BOAT MUST BE EMPTY (NO
EQUIPMENT) AND TIPPED TOWARD THE REAR WITH
OPEN BAILERS.
f) Trailer and davits system use:
•The trailers size and carrying capacity should correspond to your boat size and
weight. Do not use too big or too small trailer for your boat.
•Always prefer trailer / davits system with bolsters / banks with large contact spot to
rollers. Do not use the trailers / davits system with rollersonly.
•The boat must be properly inflated. Leave the self-baileropen.
•Haul the boat onto the trailer using the boweye.
•Lift the engine shaft down and fix it to the support provided on a trailer. Do not trailer or
store the boat on davits without proper engine support on the trailer.
•Tie down the boat with straps, using bow, lateral and rear eyes for that.
•Close and secure all hatches and doors on the boat. Cushions must be secured or
taken away to prevent the loss.
•Do not trailer the boat with the cover, which is not designed fortransportation.
