2. HOMOLOGATION, CERTIFICATION, DESIGN CATEGORY AND
IDENTIFICATION
Please write your boat’s HIN above.
Built by:
NORTHSTAR TEKNE URETIMI A.S.
PK 39 Gebze - Kocaeli - 41400 Turkey
for
NorthStar AS
Via Santa Franca 41,29100 Piacenza (PC) - ITALY
Category of design B (offshore) inspected by International Marine
Certification Institute (IMCI)
Your boat has been certified to be in compliance with the relevant parts of
the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC as amended by Directive
2003/44/EC of the European Parliament. The CE mark on your boat
means that your boat meets or exceeds applicable ISO (International
Standards Organization) standards available at the time of manufacture.
Your rigid boat has been tested in regard to stability, freeboard, buoyancy
and flotation according to EN ISO 12217-1 and your inflatable boat
according to EN ISO 6185-3 so that, the requirements for the number of
persons allowed and the additional loading could be determined.
2.1. EXPLANATION OF MANUFACTURER’S PLATE:
The manufacturer’s plate, which is fixed at the console, looks like the
following:
Design Category B
The boat was built for the category of design B (Offshore)
Category B: Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to,
and including, wind force 8 and significant wave heights up to, and
including 4 meters may be experienced.
The significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one-third of
the waves, which approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated
by an experienced observer. Some waves will be double this height.
For craft with outboard engines, mass of the craft in the light craft
(unladen) condition (kg) includes the mass of the heaviest recommended
outboard engine, but in some cases (a small rowing or outboard tender for
example) the craft may be used with or without the outboard. In these
HIN : TR-MAR

5
cases, it would be useful to also know the weight without the outboard
motor (perhaps to see if it is light enough to carry on a car roof).
Max. = Maximum number of persons recommended
Max. + + = Maximum loading weight
Maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard,
all provisions and personal effects, any equipment not included in the light
craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc.)
Do not exceed the maximum number of persons. Regardless of the
number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment
must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the
seats/seating spaces provided.
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.
0609 CE-marking with EC-identification number of the notified
body, International Marine Certification Institute, as a proof that the boat
was built according to the requirements of the Directive for Recreational
Crafts 94/25/EC as amended by Directive 2003/44/EC.

3. SYSTEMS AND CIRCUITS
3.1. FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM
Please check the location of fire extinguisher holder.Make sure that you fix
an approved fire extinguisher on the holder before using your boat.
Your boat also has fixed fire-extinguisher system located in the
engineroom.Please read the instruction manual of fixed fire extinguisher
system.
Before discharging, shut down engines and blowers.
Please check the Skipper’s Manual for general information.
3.2. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A main cut off switch is provided inside the aft storage by the battery box.
This cut-off switch disconnects the battery from the electrical system of
your boat.
Two switch panels with fuses are provided on the console for electrical
equipment. You can control the navigation lights, pole light, livewell pump
(if fitted), shower pump, cabin lighting and the bilge pumps. Since your
boat is equipped with two automatic bilge pumps, separate 3 position
switches on the console are provided for their operation. When your boat
remains in the water, leave bilge pump switches at Auto position for
automatic operation.
Above is how your electrical switch panels look like. Fuses are found in the
fuse holders below the switches. To replace, open the fuse holder with a
screwdriver and close after installing a new fuse. Periodically check your
fuses and carry spares.

NORTHSTAR MANUAL
10
If a fuse consistently blows, please have your electrical circuitry checked
by a professional.
NorthStar 230 CDS is equipped with a removable 360° Pole light that
satisfies the 1 meter rule of the COLREGS which requires a minimum of 1
meter height difference between the navigation lights and the pole light.
You are not required to keep this light installed during daytime when there
is good visibility. At night or when the visibility condition dictates the use of
the pole light, simply remove it from its location under the aft center locker
and install it in the plug provided on the aft starboard side of the boat. To
retain it, tighten the locking collar. When not in use, simply remove it by
loosening its collar and stow it under its storage location.
A switch will operate the port/starboard navigation light and must be used
in the dark or when the visibility condition dictates while underway. Fuse
15A
A lighter type socket is provided to run extra accessories such as a
spotlight or to charge the mobile phone.
Battery acid is corrosive, so you have to protect eyes and skin if you have
to work on it. You must rinse splashes of acid with fresh water and consult
a doctor immediately. You can neutralize splashes of acid on the skin or on
clothes with acid transformer or soapsuds.
If one has drunk acid, please contact your doctor immediately.
Check and top up acid level periodically. Check from time to time if the
battery terminals have a tight sit and if there are corrosion patches.
