At Maritimo Offshore, we are very conscious
of the competitive nature of today’s boating
market, so to be selected by you as the boat
manufacturer of choice makes us feel proud
of the product we create.
That feeling of pride will be apparent to you
as you become acquainted with your boat.
The effort that the team at Maritimo have
expended, both in design and workmanship,
is now before you to make use of as you wish.
Your Maritimo is a vessel constructed of the
finest materials and workmanship and will
give you years of enjoyment. The engines
and installed equipment will require regular
servicing if they are to deliver their best, these
servicing schedules being covered in the
literature provided by those manufacturers.
We advise you to study them, and if any
doubts arise please consult our dealer.
The safety of you and all who travel on this
boat has been uppermost in our minds
all through the design and construction
stage and we are proud of the strength and
robustness of the vessel; however, the sea is
to be respected, and we urge you to consider
the safety of yourself, your crew and the boat
at all times.
Finally, enjoy! We trust that you will have many
pleasant times.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2This manual has been compiled to
help you to operate your craft with
safety and pleasure. It contains
details of the boat, the equipment
supplied or fitted, its systems, and
information on its operation and
maintenance. Please read it carefully
and familiarise yourself with the craft
before using it.
If this is your first boat, or you are
changing to a type you are not familiar
with, please ensure for your own
comfort and safety that you obtain
handling and operating experience
before assuming command. Your
dealer or national boating association
or yacht club will be pleased to advise
you of local schools or competent
instructors.
Please keep this manual in a safe
place and hand it over to the new
owner when you sell the craft.
At all times it is the responsibility of
the master of the vessel to make sure
that the boat is operated in a safe and
dependable manner. The Maritimo C47
is designed for Category B sea
conditions in which wind strength
may exceed Force 8 on the Beaufort
scale with wave heights of up to four
metres. Such conditions may be
encountered on extended voyages
across oceans, or inshore when
unsheltered from the wind and waves
for several hundred miles.
A builder’s plate, as shown, is affixed
to the vessel near the helm station.
This shows the maximum number of
persons (24) or the maximum weight
(mass) of persons (1800 kg) that may
be carried. The maximum weight
(mass) of persons and their portage
is 2400 kg.
Builder’s plate
The unladen mass of the craft,
empty of stores, water and fuel, is
13 840 kg. The standard specified
horsepower of the engines is
870 HP (640 kW). The maximum
recommended load for the craft is
5036 kg and this must be evenly
distributed to maintain the trim of the
boat and secured in such a manner
that it will not shift in a heavy seaway.
To minimise the risk of flooding, it
is important that all the seacocks
to all through-hull openings
should be kept closed unless in
use. The master must be familiar
with their location and know how
to operate them in the event of an
emergency. The starboard side
door and the cockpit door should
be kept closed and all hatches
closed and locked when the boat
is operated at planing speeds and
in rough weather. If water enters
the vessel, the automatic bilge
pumping system will come into
operation; this system can also
be manually activated.
This manual does not attempt to
cover every single item installed
on the boat; rather it is a guide to
the operator on the safe operation
and maintenance of the craft. More
specific and in-depth information
can be found in the relevant
manufacturers’ handbooks that are
supplied with their equipment. They
are located in two BLUE PORTFOLIO
CASES and we urge you to read
these. Please leave them on board
when selling the boat.
