specialists, special tools, original spare parts and accessories and will be happy to assist.
This Manual provides an overview for the safe operation of your Grand boat. Please take time to
read it carefully so as to become familiar with your new boat. Make sure that you fully understand
the controls and instructions before operating the boat. Improper operation can be extremely
dangerous!
Please, note that most boating-related accidents happen when safety instructions are ignored. We
want you to enjoy your experience on your boat so please be sure to take our guidance seriously
and comply with safety instructions at all times.
The basic safety rules are stated throughout the Manual, additional precautions are indicated by

Some information may not apply to your boat since standard and optional equipment may vary
from model to model.
Data sheets and specifications given in this manual relate to the boat's characteristics at the time

GENERAL INFORMATION
Name of craft Manufacture: GRAND MARINE. Model: G650.
According to the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 20th November 2013, which is in force, your boat has design category: C, i.e., the
craft is designed to operate in the following conditions:
Wind (Beaufort scale) up to and including Force 6.
Significant wave height (H1/3, meters) up to and including 2 meters.
Explanatory note:
A watercraft given design category C is considered to be designed for a wind speed up to and
including Force 6 and significant wave height up to and including 2 m.
BE RESPONSIBLE, TAKE NOTICE OF THESE PARAMETERS WHEN YOU PLAN YOUR
NAVIGATION PROGRAM AND DO NOT BOAT IF THE WIND/WAVE CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
TO EXCEED THESE PARAMETERS.

SAFETY
14
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERSONS
The Maximum number of people (adults + children) authorized to be on board according to
design standards ISO 14946 and ISO 12217 is given in the technical data sheet in the
“TECHNICAL INFORMATION” section.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF PEOPLE. REGARDLESS OF
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON BOARD, THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF PEOPLE AND EQUIPMENT
MUST NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOAD. ALWAYS USE THE
SEATS/SEATING SPACES PROVIDED.
MAXIMUM LOADING CAPACITY
You can find the maximum load capacity in the “TECHNICAL INFORMATION” section in this
Manual. It is also shown on the builder’s plate affixed to the hull. Please note that the maximum
load capacity includes the weight of all people onboard, outboard engine, provisions, personal
effects, and additional equipment, minus liquids in fixed tanks. Note that excess and unevenly
distributed load within the boat can create unstable steering conditions and even loss of control.

SAFETY
15 Golden Line G650 Owner’s Manual
WHEN LOADING THE CRAFT, NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOAD.
ALWAYS LOAD THE CRAFT CAREFULLY AND DISTRIBUTE LOADS APPROPRIATELY TO
MAINTAIN DESIGN TRIM (APPROXIMATELY LEVEL). AVOID PLACING HEAVY WEIGHTS HIGH
UP.
DISTRIBUTION OF LOAD
Evenly distribute the load within the boat.
1. POORLY DISTRIBUTED LOADS CAN DESTABILIZE THE BOAT AND MAY RESULT IN A LOSS
OF CONTROL.
2. THE CRAFT’S HANDLING WILL CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDING ON THE LOAD
CARRIED.
3. BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL WHEN ACCELERATING OR CHANGING DIRECTION.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND TRIM WHEN NAVIGATION
CONDITIONS OR THE CRAFT’S DIRECTION THROUGH WAVES CHANGE.

SAFETY
17 Golden Line G650 Owner’s Manual
IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT
In case of an accident, do not panic and reassure passengers.
Be aware that your boat, even if damaged, may provide the best shelter and facilitate your
rescue. Never leave the boat whilst it remains afloat. Remember that an inflatable boat,
even when full of water, is virtually unsinkable.
If, after an accident, a tube compartment deflates, bring it inside the boat, restore the load
balance to the opposite side of the deflated compartment and return to port at reduced
speed.
In case of a collision or an impact with a floating object, stop to examine the hull, the
buoyancy tubes, the motor and its attachments and return to shore at a low speed.
Signal for help.
Following an accident and before using the craft again, make sure that it is examined by
your dealer or a qualified technician and any defects are repaired.
NEGLECTING REGULAR INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS
INJURY OR DAMAGE AND WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR BOAT.

SAFETY
18
STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
The stability and buoyancy of the craft have been thoroughly assessed by the builder in
compliance with the requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU. The craft
builder guarantees that the boat meets all safety criteria during normal operating conditions.
However, the person responsible for operating the craft must always keep in mind that the safety
of the craft and crew should be their priority at all times and that conditions on the water can
change suddenly with little prior notice. Before using your boat, it is strongly recommended that
appropriate training is given to all crew members in the safe operation of the craft.
ENGINE INFORMATION
Information about recommended engine capacities, maximum engine capacities, maximum
engine weights for each model are given in the technical data sheet of “TECHNICAL
INFORMATION” section.
NEVER USE A MOTOR WITH A POWER OUTPUT GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM
RECOMMENDED, OR HEAVIER THEN INDICATED ON THE BUILDER'S PLATE. THIS COULD
RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
