BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual.
Always check at least the following before leaving:
−
Weather conditions and forecast
Take the wind, waves and visibility into account. Are the design category, size and
equipment of your boat, as well as the skills of the skipper and crew, adequate for the
waters you are headed for? Hull windows and hatches must be battened down during
high wind and rough seas to prevent water incursion.
−
Loading and stability
Do not overload the craft and distribute loads appropriately. Heavy items are to be
placed in the storage compartments under the aft seat. Also note that the boat is less
stable if people stand up when on board.
−
Passengers
Ensure that there are personal flotation devices or lifejackets for all people on board.
Agree on crew tasks before setting off.
−
Fuel and fuel system
Make sure that the boat has enough fuel, including a 20 % reserve for heavy weather or
other unforeseen eventualities.
−
Engine and manoeuvring equipment
Check the function and condition of steering and remote control and carry out routine
checks according to the engine manual.
−
Seaworthiness
Check the boat’s seaworthiness: no fuel or water leaks, safety equipment available on
board, etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge.
−
Fastening of equipment
Check that all onboard items are positioned so that they will stay in place even in rough
seas and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly overboard if they are not
fixed properly with press studs.
−
Nautical charts
Unless you are navigating in completely familiar waters, ensure you have nautical charts
on board that cover a large enough area! Your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, so
learn how to use it before setting off. Ensure that the plotter charts are of the latest
edition.
−
Leaving the berth
Agree with the crew who will release each mooring line, etc. Be careful not to let
mooring lines or the anchoring line become fouled in the propeller during manoeuvring.
−
Obligatory equipment
What is considered obligatory equipment varies between different countries. Find out
what is required for your boat.
You will find additional instructions concerning the engine in the separate engine manual.

1General
The owner’s manual will help you familiarise yourself with the properties and features of
your new boat and with its care and maintenance. Separate manuals for installed equipment
are attached and are referred to in many sections of the owner’s manual. You can
supplement this user manual by adding the manuals of devices which are installed
afterwards. There is also space for your own notes at the end of the manual.
The craft has a running serial number, a WIN-code (Watercraft Identification Number). The
WIN-code can be found on the starboard side of the transom just below the bathing
platform. We recommend that you write down the WIN-code in this manual. When
contacting the dealer, please provide the WIN code and the type of craft. This helps in
delivering the correct spare parts.

4Before use
Registration
Registration regulations vary between different countries. Find out what is required in
relation to your own boat.
Insurance
Boat insurance can compensate damage occurring on water or during transport and lifting.
Check who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted. Insurance also has
an indirect effect on safety at sea: In the event of a serious accident or damage, you must,
above all, concentrate on saving people. Insurance companies will be able to give more
information about different insurance alternatives. Check who has insurance liability each
time when having the boat lifted or transported!

5Characteristics and use of your boat
General
This user manual is not intended to be a complete service or repair manual; it simply guides
the user on how to use the boat in the proper manner.
Basic information
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D)
under the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EC. This boat has been
constructed according to design category C. The meanings of the various
design categories are explained below.
Category A: The boat is built for conditions where wind speed can exceed 8
Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s), and where the significant height of the waves
(please refer to note below) can exceed 4 metres. In such circumstances the
boats are largely self-sufficient. Category A does not include abnormal
conditions such as hurricanes. Such conditions may be encountered on
extended voyages, for example when crossing oceans, or in coastal areas
where there is an open expanse of sea for several hundred nautical miles off
the coast.
Category B:The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a
maximum of 8 Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s), and where the corresponding
significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) is 4 metres at most.
Such conditions may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length,
or on coastal waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several
dozens of nautical miles. These conditions may also be experienced on inland
seas of sufficient size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C:The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a
maximum of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s), and where the corresponding
significant height of the waves (please refer to note below) is 2 metres at most.
Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries,
and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D:The boat is built for conditions where wind speeds can reach a
maximum of 4 Beaufort (approx. 8 m/s), and for corresponding seas (significant
wave height does not exceed 0.3 metres, and the height of the greatest waves
does not exceed 0.5 metres). Such conditions may be encountered on
protected inland waters, and in coastal areas during fine weather conditions.

11 (39)
Note:Significant wave height is a term used in boat design. In practice, significant
wave height means the average height of the highest third of all wave heights
measured in the waters. If the significant wave height is 2.0 m, the mean height
of all waves is roughly 1.2 m.
Maximum recommended load: See technical specifications
See also section 5.4 “Loading”.
Main dimensions and capacities: See technical specifications
Craft length, width, draught, total weight, etc., and tank capacities are shown in
the technical specifications.
Builder’s plate:
Part of the aforementioned information is given on the builder’s plate, which is
affixed next to the remote control. Supplementary information is provided in
the appropriate sections of this manual.

Maximum recommend number of passengers
The boat's maximum recommended number of passengers is 8 persons.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of
passengers. Regardless of the number of passengers, the total
weight of people and equipment must never exceed the
maximum recommended load (please refer to Section 5.4,
“Loading”). Always remain seated on the boat. All persons on
board must remain seated while the boat is moving.
Loading
The boat’s maximum permitted load is 750 kg. This load includes the following weights:
a) The total weight of passengers 600 kg (the default weight of an adult is assumed to
be 75 kg and that of a child 37.5 kg)
b) Liquids 110 kg (fuel 80 kg and fresh water 30 kg)
c) Personal equipment (e.g. recreational and overnighting equipment) 40 kg
NOTE! The maximum permitted load only includes the weights
mentioned above.

14 (39)
WARNING! Never exceed the maximum recommended load when loading
the craft. Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads
appropriately so that the boat is on an even keel. Heavy
equipment should usually be placed in the storage compartment
under the aft seat. If the boat is carrying the maximum number of
passengers, heavy items should be placed in the bow so that the
boat will not be tail-heavy. Always avoid placing heavy items high
up.
Engine and propeller
The maximum engine power for the boat is 150 hp (111 kW). Do not use the boat with an
engine that has an output higher than the kW limit given on the CE plate (150 hp) . Using a
more powerful engine than specified on the CE plate will void the boat’s warranty. Follow
the dealer’s instructions when choosing the propeller for your boat.
Prevention of water incursion and stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck through fittings and closing valves
The boat has a rainwater drainage system, which means that rainwater in the open space of
the boat is drained when the boat is on the water. The system also functions when the boat
is out of water, provided that the bow is higher than the stern and closing valve is open. The
rainwater drainage valve is located underneath the middle hatch of the aft sofa. This drain
valve is meant to be shut only when at heavy load to prevent potential water incursion. In
other loading conditions the drainage valve should remain open to let rainwater drain
from the boat.
The boat has an electric bilge pump in the bilge (location shown in the picture below). The
function of the bilge pump is automatic meaning that it will automatically empty the bilge if
there will appear water. The capacity of the electric bilge pump is about 40 l/min. On the
right hand of the steering wheel you find the manual switch to turn on the electric bilge for
testing/checking the function. In the switch there is a light that will turn on if there is water
in the bilge. If the light turns on you should immediately check the bilge by open the
inspection hatch in the plywood bottom plate underneath the middle hatch in the aft sofa. If
the bilge is empty you can continue boating but if the light turns on again and pump starts to
empty the bilge you have to immediately drive to the shore and nearest harbour or landing-
stage and thereafter lift up the boat from water to find out the reason to the leakage.
The electric bilge pump can be checked by removing the plywood plate underneath the
middle hatch of the aft sofa. The pump can be lifted up by
gripping the hose as it is only submerged in a kind of pocket.

Rainwater drainage system and bilge pump system
3. Electric bilge pump 6. Rainwater drainage through fitting
4. Bilge pump hose 7. Drain plug for bilge
5. Rainwater drainage pipe valve 8. Shut-off flap, aft end of drainage pipe
The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one baler or bucket in
the boat.
WARNING! The bilge pump system is not intended to cope with a leak caused
by running aground or other equivalent damage (hull damage).
SAFETY MEASURE! Regularly check to ensure that there is no debris around suction
grid of the bilge pump.
WARNING! Always keep the drainage pipe valve shut when the pipe’s inboard
end is constantly under water due to heavy loading. The shut-off
flap on the transom only prevents water from entering the boat
when reversing!
NOTE! Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the
drainage pipe. Debris such as autumn leaves may obstruct the
water flow, which can cause the boat to fill with water and sink.
The bilge pump system does not work in conditions below 0°C.
NOTE! There is always some condensed water in the bilge. The hull
bushings may also allow water to seep through, particularly as the
boat ages. Always remember to check the bilge before you leave
the boat at quay or buoy, and always before setting off. Have any
leaks repaired at an authorised repair shop.

16 (39)
WARNING! The boat’s handling properties may become extremely dangerous
if there is water in the bilge.
5.6.2 Stability and buoyancy
Please note that stability will be reduced by any weight added high up on the boat. Any
change in the distribution of weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and
performance of your boat. Please remember that large breaking waves always present a
serious danger to stability.
Preventing fires and explosion hazards
5.7.1 Refuelling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling,
do not use switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
When refuelling at a service station, do not use a plastic funnel, since it will prevent the
tension between the refuelling nozzle and filling vent from being discharged.
Hint: If you are afraid of getting fuel on the synthetic teak deck during refuelling, wet the
deck with water. You can also hold a rag in front of the fuel filler to prevent fuel from
splashing on the deck.
Always keep a spare can of fuel on board. The anchor boxes at the stern are especially
suitable for storing the spare canister as there is no risk of vaporised fuel coming into
contact with battery compartments or the electrical system from either of these boxes.
Do not stow any loose items under the aft sofa that could prevent fuel flow to the engine if
they shift. Check the fuel hoses annually for wear, especially at through fittings.
Please note that, depending on the trim of the boat or the boat's heeling angle, it might not
be possible to use the full capacity of the fuel tank.
If the boat is on trailer behind a car when refuelling, please note that the fuel tank
ventilation does not work efficiently if the bow of the boat is downwards.
WARNING! Vaporised fuel is highly explosive. Observe these instructions and the utmost
caution during refuelling. The smell of fuel always means that there is
vaporised fuel on your boat.

17 (39)
5.7.2 Other fuel-operated systems (diesel heater optional accessory)
The diesel-operated heater (optional accessory) has its own user manual and the operation
is not described in this manual. The fuel tank for the heater is located underneath the aft
sofa. Turn off the heater when refuelling the diesel tank. When handling diesel, do not use
switches or appliances that can cause a spark. Always clean any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTE! If the boat is equipped with a heater (optional accessory), do not
block the exhaust grates when the heater is switched on. This will
cause the heater to overheat and engage the overheat protector.
5.7.3 Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A 68 B, which is the
minimum power requirement for extinguishers. For the extinguisher to remain reliable, it
should be inspected annually by an authorised inspector. In the event that the fire
extinguisher is replaced, the capacity of the new one must be at least equivalent to the old.
The fire extinguisher is located underneath the aft sofa hatch on port side.
Ensure that firefighting equipment is readily accessible even when the boat is loaded. Inform
members of the crew about the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment. The fire
extinguisher is located in the storage compartment of the aft sofa on port side (left-hand
side) in the open deck space. There is a red extinguisher sign outside sofa showing the
location of the extinguisher.
Remember:
-Never hinder access to safety equipment, for instance the switches to the electric
system.
-Never hinder access to fire extinguishers located in a box.
-Never leave the boat unsupervised while the cooker or heater is on.
-Never make alterations to any of the boat’s systems (especially the electricity or the
fuel systems) or allow an unqualified person to make alterations to any of the boat’s
systems.
-Never refill a fuel tank when the boat's engine is running, or the cooker or heater is
on.
-Never smoke while handling fuel or gas.

18 (39)
Main power switches and circuit breakers
Operation of the main power switches:
- Clockwise position Circuit switched on when green colour
- Counter-clockwise position Battery disconnected when red colour
If your boat is equipped with 2-battery-system switch the power off from both main
switches when leaving the boat, and always switch both switches on when using it.
Electric circuit fuses are located to the left of main power switch(es). Fuse sizes are
presented in the electrical diagram. Do not change the circuit breaker amperages or install
any components that exceed the nominal amperage of the circuit in the electric system.
Remember to always use both main switches when switching the power off or on.
Remember also to switch off the main power switch before making any electrical
installations.
All fuses are automatic circuit breakers. In the event of a fault current, the circuit breaker
will trip.
You can reset the circuit breaker by pushing it back in. If the circuit breaker immediately trips
again, there is a short-circuit somewhere in the electrical system or in a component. You
must leave repairing the boat’s electrical system to a professional electrician.
NOTE! Remember also to switch off the main power switch before making any
electrical installations.
NOTE! Never switch off the main switch while the engine is running! It can cause
.
.
.
.

19 (39)
serious damage to the engine’s electric system.
NOTE! Do not perform electric installations (such as changing lamps) when the power
is on. Leave any larger installations to professionals.
NOTE! When connecting or disconnecting the battery, do not touch both terminals
simultaneously with metal objects.
Operation
If this is your first boat or a boat type new to you, take someone with experience of a similar
boat with you the first few times you operate it.
5.9.1 Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your boat, but changing weather conditions, such as
wind and waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The remote control
combines the functions of throttle, forward and reverse gears, and the adjusting of the
engine trim angle. The boat is equipped with hydraulic steering.
5.9.2 Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device that you have to attached to the remote control or to the
ignition key panel (depending on what outboard motor brand). The other end you should
attach around your knee. The emergency switch automatically switches off the engine when
detached from the remote control. It is very important that the boat will come to a halt if
the driver, for whatever reason, loses his/her balance and is flung from the helm.
NOTE! Never take control of the boat without having attached the
emergency switch to yourself. If you attach the emergency switch
to your arm, do not steer the boat with that arm, because the
chain may be tangled in the steering wheel during tight turns.
NOTE! The engine will not start if the emergency switch is not attached to
the switch on the remote control.
DANGER! A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a
swimmer or a person who has fallen overboard. Always use the
emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or
water skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
