Introducon
Even if everything has been planned and designed
for the safety of the boat and its users, boang is
highly dependent on the weather condions, the sea
state, the experience and physical shape of the crew
etc. and one can never ensure full safety.
Even if your boat is categorised for them, the
sea and wind condions corresponding to the
design categories A, B and C range from strong
gale to severe condions, open to the hazards of
a freak wave or gust, and are therefore dangerous
condions, where only a skilled, t and trained crew
sailing on a well-maintained boat can sasfactorily
sail.
The sea or the weather is not the natural
environment for mankind and one can only respect
its laws and its strength. Always listen to or read a
weather forecast or prevision prior to any sailing
excursion or voyage, and ensure that the wind
and sea condions will correspond to the design
category of your boat, and that you and your crew
are able to handle the boat in these condions.
This Owner’s manual contains the minimum
informaon that is necessary to run the boat
properly, some safety topics, operaon and
maintenance hints. Read it carefully and familiarise
yourself with the cra before using it. However, this
Owner’s manual is not a course on boang safety
or how to navigate, anchor or dock your boat. Your
dealer, naonal sailing federaon or your yacht
club will be able to advise you on local schools, or
instructors.
This Owner’s manual is neither an operaon, nor a
maintenance or troubleshoong booklet.
Please always use a trained professional for
maintenance, repairs or minor modicaons.
For major modicaons, ensure that he does not
signicantly modify the safety characteriscs of
the cra, and where relevant, ensure he has the
wrien authorisaon of the boat builder or its legal
representave.
Any change in the vercal posion of the masses
onboard (for example, the addion of a shing
tower, a radar, a stowing mast etc.) may signicantly
aect the stability of your boat. Do not make these
eventual changes without the wrien authorisaon
of the boat builder or its legal representave.
In many countries, a boat driving license,
authorisaon or training is required. Please make
sure you have these legal authorisaons before
purchasing and using your boat.
Always maintain the boat properly and irrespecve
of this, always adjust your use of the boat to the
condion it is in. Boats suer wear and tear with
me and usage.
The Internaonal IMO Colreg regulaon denes
rights of way, navigaon lights etc. throughout the
world. Make sure you are familiar with these rules
and you have a booklet explaining them onboard.
If this is your rst cra or you are changing to a
type of cra you are not familiar with, for your own
comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain
handling and operang experience before taking
command of the cra.
Any boat, no maer how strong it may be, can be
severely damaged if handled and treated improperly
by unskilled persons. This is not compable with
safe boang. Always adjust the speed of powerboats
to sea condions to avoid excessive slamming.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL AND ITS ENCLOSURES
IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE
NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
Due to our policy of connual product
improvement, the illustraons used in this manual
may not be the same as on your cra and are
intended as representave reference illustraons.
Some controls, indicators or informaon may be
oponal and not apply to your cra.

Technical data
Line drawing od Your craft
A line drawing of your cra is provided in the
Appendix
Fuses and circuit breakers
Fuses and circuit breakers are used on the electrical
circuits in your boat to protect against overload. The
fuse will blow, or the circuit breaker will trip if the
electrical circuit is overloaded. If this occurs regular-
ly, contact your dealer immediately for advice.
Line drawings of the electrical systems onboard
your cra are provided in the Appendix.

8 of 57
Shift/Throttle Control
The shi/throle control will dier depending on
model and engine systems. All shi/ throle controls
need to be maintained and checked regularly to
ensure proper operaon and safety.
Improper maintenance of controls may result
in their failure which could cause serious injury
or damage. Check the control cables and parts
regularly. NB! All shi/ throle controls have a
safety switch which only allows the engine to be
started in the neutral posion
Single lever - Top/surface mount
A Neutral - engine will only start in this posion due
to safety switch.
B Forward - Press buon under handle to move into
forward gear.
C Reverse - Press buon under handle to move into
reverse gear.
D Throle - Push in forward or pull in reverse to
increase engine speed.
For all controls - Never try to shi gear without the
engine running. There is a separate buon at the
base of the lever on all controls which you press to
warm the engine while sll in neutral.
Engine trim
Switch on the handle of your shi/throle which
trims/lts the engine.
Used to improve performance in combinaon
with the trim tabs (see under Switches and
Indicators). When preparing your boat for road
transport, use the up switch to raise your engine.
Steering
It is essenal to keep your steering system well-
maintained so that it operates sasfactorily and
safely.
Remember that steering systems on boats are not
self-centring - you must keep a ght hold of the
steering wheel at all mes to maintain full control
of your boat.

9 of 57
Hydraulic steering
With a hydraulic steering system, there is a pump
ed to the steering wheel with two hoses that lead
from the pump to a hydraulic cylinder. This cylinder
is again connected to the steering arm, and transfers
rotary moon to the steering arm.
A reservoir is provided to hold extra uid in order
to prevent air in the steering system this reservoir
should be kept at the proper level, with the correct
uid.
Improper maintenance of your steering system may
lead to serious injury or damage.
Fuel and water tanks
The lling posions of fuel and water tanks are
indicated on the line drawing of your boat. The
outboard engine on your Parker takes unleaded
petrol.
Schemac illustraons of the fuel system are
provided in the Appendix.
Valves
Rainwater draining Your boat is equipped with a stop
cock below or on the waterline.
This allows the boat to drain rainwater. It may be
necessary to close the stop cock when your boat is
loaded to avoid ooding. If your boat is fully loaded,
you must close the stop cock to avoid water on the
deck.
Keep the stop cock clean from all debris, which may
cause blockage. Inspect the stop cock at least once
a year. It is also important to inspect the through
hull ng for the stop cock at least once a year and
repair any faults or damage.
OPEN
CLOSED
Always make sure the stop switch is properly
aached to both the controls and the person driving
the boat before seng out.
Once a month, check that the stop switch funcons
properly by pulling it o while the engine is running.
If the engine does not stop, contact your dealer
immediately to get a replacement stop switch.

10 of 57
Instruments / Switches and indi-
cators
Ignition
Insert the key in the ignion and turn clockwise to
engage the starng motor. As soon as the engine
starts running, return the key to the on posion
Engine stop switch
The engine stop switch is only to be used
in emergencies. It must NOT be used for
normal shuto of engine. The engine stop switch
should be aached to the person
driving the boat, by the clip. Then, if that
person either loses balance or falls overboard, the
stop switch will be pulled o and will stop the engine.
Battery stop switch
Used to connect the baery to the
electrical system. W
hen disconnected, the baery is
protected from tampering, re and
rundown. Make sure the baery is
disconnected (switch to o posi-
on) when the boat is not in use.
Navigation lights
switch
ON/OFF switch for
navigaon lights and anchor lights.
Never drive your boat at night without your naviga-
on lights. They are necessary for other boats to
determine your direcon and right-of-way.
Warning alarm
If a warning alarm sounds, check all your gauges
and stop the engine immediately. You may have a
problem with overheang of the engine and/or not
enough oil.
Safety equipment and Safety
Required safety equipment
• Life jackets for all passengers
• Navigaon lights
• Fire exnguisher
• Manual bailing device
Recommended safety equipment
• Anchor line and anchor
• Mooring lines and fenders
• First-aid kit
• Spare set of keys
• Auxiliary starng baery
• Spare fuses and bulbs
Life jackets
Make sure that all life jackets t properly and are
readily available

11 of 57
Non-swimmers such as children and handicapped
people should wear their life jacket at all mes. A
throwable otaon device, such as a ring, should
also be easily reached onboard.
Fire extinguisher
Keep your re exnguisher where it is easy to
reach. Make sure you know how to use the re
exnguisher as soon as you take it onboard by
reading the user manual.
Never face the wind direcon when using the re
exnguisher and point the exnguisher at the
source of the re.
When an exnguisher has been used, for no maer
what length of me, it must be delivered to an
authorised dealer to be relled.
Lanterns
Boats without lanterns must not be driven in the
dark or when visibility is poor.
Alcohol/drugs and boating
Do not consume alcohol or drugs when boang.
They severely eect your concentraon and balance.
Alcohol in your bloodstream will also lessen your
tolerance of temperature changes - cold winds, cold
water should you fall overboard.
Bailing device
Where a bilge pump is not fitted, it is the owner’s
responsibility to have at least one bailer/bucket on
board, secured against accidental loss.
Use of bathing ladder/platform
Always turn o the engine before using the bathing
ladder/plaorm to avoid contact with moving parts
such as the propeller.
Maximum recommended load
Note the permissible load in the table on page 7 of
this manual. The permissible load must never be
exceeded in order to ensure safe operaon of your
boat. The permissible load covers all provisions,
tank contents, miscellaneous equipment and
persons onboard. Please also make sure that all
load is sensibly distributed and safely secured,
especially during rough weather.
Operator vision from the helm
Operator vision from the helm can be obstructed
by high trim angles of the cra and other factors
caused by one or more of the following variable
condions:
• propulsion engine trim angles
• trim plane angles on the hull
• loading and load distribuon
• speed, rapid acceleraon
• transion from displacement to planing
• sea condions, rain and spray
• darkness and fog
• interior lights and posion of curtains
• persons or movable gear in eld of vision
Internaonal regulaons require that a proper
lookout be maintained at all mes to avoid collision

12 of 57
and observe right of way.
CO Exposure
All boat engines produce CO as exhaust. This is
an extremely noxious and dangerous gas. It is
almost impossible to detect as it is odourless and
colourless.
Early signs of exposure to CO are redness,
dizziness and nausea. Extended exposure to CO
could result in brain damage or death.
In order to prevent exposure to CO, it is essenal
you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure there are no obstrucons to the
engine exhaust - these could be moorings,
other cra etc.
• While operang at slow speeds, possibly with
the bow high, make sure the exhaust is not
blowing into the boat, but away from the boat.
• When using canvas tops or hoods on your cra,
make sure that you have plenty of venlaon
for exhaust fumes.
Windows and hatches
Keep all windows/hatches etc. closed at high
speeds and in rough weather, to avoid risk of injury/
damage.
General operaon of cra
Please observe the following with regard to the
powering and manoeuvring limitaons of your
cra:
• Do not operate this cra with an engine of
rated power larger than that displayed on the
capacity label in your cra.
• Do not operate this cra at negave pro-
pulsion unit trim sengs (bow down) at high
speeds as the cra may lean over on the side
resulng in instability. Use negave trim to
accelerate to planing speed from displacement
speed and at lower planing speeds in rough
waters.
• Do not operate your cra at maximum speed
while in congested waterways or in rough
weather and sea condions or condions of
reduced visibility.
• Observe right of way at sea as dened by
internaonal regulaons.
• Always maintain sucient stopping distance
or distance to manoeuvre if required to avoid
collision.
Engine well and tilting the engine
Before lng the engine up from the water, you
have to raise and slide the hatch covering the
engine well.
You raise the hatch over the engine well
manually by liing up the hatch and
slide a bench away from engine well.
Press and hold down the trim buon the control
box or engine unl the engine is in the required
posion.

13 of 57
Lower the engine back into the water before
restarng the engine.
Engine trim for best performance
When you are driving your Parker, it is important to
be aware of how you trim your engine to make sure
your boat performs at its best at all speeds.
Engine trim is a decisive factor for efficient and com-
fortable boating. You adjust your engine trim using
the switch on the gear/throttle lever. See figures 1
and 2 below.
Figure 1: The gear/throle lever for the engine is on
the right-hand side of the dashboard.
When you start the engine, keep the engine trim at
0% until you have the boat at speed of 30 knots. As
you reach speeds in excess of 30 knots, you can start
to trim your engine up to 10%.
Do not use trim below speed of 20 knots, as trim limit
may not work, which can cause damage to engines
and boat.
Environmental considerations
As the owner of a leisure cra, you are responsible
for protecng the natural environment, both at sea
and ashore. Please leave both sea and land as you
would hope to nd them.
Fuel and oil spillage
Never dispose of fuel or oil while out at sea. These
are toxic substances which harm the environment.
Disposal of fuel or oil into the water is an oence
and you may be ned.

14 of 57
If spillage occurs accidentally, e.g. while lling fuel
or oil, please remember that these substances are
highly explosive and toxic. Do not expose them to
open ame, or store cloths used to wipe up the
spillage in the boat.
Discharge and disposal of waste
Please do not dispose of any form of waste into
the water. Most marinas have large waste bins at
the waterside for boat owners’ use, so take all your
waste products back to shore with you.
If you have a toilet installed in your boat, please only
use an approved pump-out facility at your marina.
Excessive noise
Show consideraon for fellow boaters or those
ashore. Noise carries considerable distances on
water, parcularly at night, so keep music, shoung
and engine noise as low as possible.
Wake and wash
You must always obey all speed restricons. Most
marinas will have speed restricons in the waters
nearby to prevent wash from other boats damaging
the boats in moorings.
Not all areas are marked with speed restricons, so
please reduce your speed to come o plane when
passing by areas where boats are moored, or people
are swimming.
Exhaust emissions
Hydrocarbon in exhaust emissions pollutes the air
and water. To keep exhaust emissions to a minimum,
keep your engine well-tuned and regularly clean the
hull of your cra. Your dealer will provide you with
further informaon.
Paints/cleaning agents
Marine growth on the hull of your boat can be
avoided by the use of an-fouling paint but be
aware of environmental restricons on what types
of paint you can use - your dealer or local boang
authority will be able to provide advice.
We recommend the use of environmentally- friendly
cleaners, which not only minimise the impact on
the environment, but are also eecve and safer for
you. Use all cleaners sparingly, and do not dispose of
them or their containers into the water.
Aft doors
A doors must be closed when the boat is in use.
Maintenance
General care
• Cleaning your boat
Boats generally deteriorate over lengths of me
with exposure to saltwater, sunlight, polluon.
Regular cleaning of your boat will minimise this
wear and tear.
Special boat cleaning products are available from
your boat dealer, but you must never use abrasive
products as these will damage the gelcoat surface.
Take care when cleaning the deck of your boat as
detergents can make the surface very slippery.
• Marine growth

15 of 57
If absolutely necessary, special products may be
used to remove marine growth from the hull, but
these products should not be discharged into the
water. Do not use wire brushes or scouring pads
on the hull of your boat as these will scratch the
surface.
• An-fouling paint
Proper an-fouling paint systems are a necessity to
protect your boat from hull blisters and osmosis.
Contact your dealer for further informaon.
• Saltwater corrosion
If you use your boat in saltwater, you should rinse
it with freshwater as oen as possible to avoid
corrosion.
• Steering
To ensure proper and safe operaon of the steering
system, the steering arm should be greased at least
twice a year, before and aer winter storage.
• Cushions
The cushions in your boat are made from high-
quality materials and designed to withstand spills
and lesser quanes of water and sea spray. You
should clean your cushions regularly with a sponge
and soapy water. NEVER use strong, synthec
detergents, soluons or chemical cleaning agents.
You can also purchase special products for cleaning
upholstery.
You must also remember to maintain the zip and
other ngs on the cushions. Grease these once a
year with silicon or Vaseline to avoid rusng.
Take care when removing the cushions - do not pull
the actual cushion, only the snap fastener.
When the boat is not in use, store your cushions in
one of the compartments on the boat, or in a dry
place
• Stainless steel fittings
Stainless steel can also suer from wear and tear.
Use a mild detergent and water to keep it clean.
Never use abrasive cloths or brushes as these will
scratch the surface. Use a polish to remove rust
spots as soon as they appear, and wax regularly to
prevent corrosion.
• Plexiglas windscreens
Again, use only mild detergents and warm water and
a so cloth to clean, as plexiglas scratches easily.
Materials and components
Your boat has been designed and manufactured,
tested and cered according to strict regulaons
and safety standards. We strongly advise against any
installaon by the owner of addional materials or
components as these may aect the safe operaon
of your boat, and its warranty coverage.
Should you require any addional equipment,
contact your dealer who is qualied to make such
modicaons.
Winter storage
Refer to your engine manual for advice on winter
storage of your engine. Your baery should be
removed, charged and stored in a dry place. Make
sure your boat is completely dry and remove all
water from pipes and other components to prevent
freeze damage.
Your boat dealer may provide a professional winter
storage service.
Painting
We recommend regular applicaon of an-fouling
paint to prevent marine growth. Consult your boat
dealer on which boom paint to use, depending on
where you plan to use your boat.
Paints are both toxic and ammable. Make sure
the area where you are painng your boat is well
venlated and that you use the proper safety
equipment - gloves, glasses, mask etc.)

16 of 57
Inspection
Before removing your boat from winter storage, it
is essenal to inspect all components on your boat
closely. Make sure all ngs are ght, there are no
leakages, damage or fraying of parts. You should
also inspect essenal components on your boat
throughout the boang season.
Lifting your boat
Make sure the ropes are posioned carefully so that
the boat is horizontal when lied.
Provide protecon between ropes/cables and the
boat to prevent damage while liing.
Never stand under the boat while it is being lied!
Mooring
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that
mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains and
anchors are of suitable size for the boat’s intended
use.
The owner must make himself acquainted with the
securing of the tow line onboard on the designated
strong point(s).
