З. DELIVERY SET
Delivery set includes:
- assembled boat (without outboard motor).
- datasheet – owners manual.
4. HULL ARRANGEMENT
The hull of the boat has sharp lines (transom deadrise 100) that ensure high dynamic characteristics,
water gripping sponsons and splash boards. The hull is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy
5083 H111 (or its analogue).The main principle of structural connection is electric arc welding in
inert-gas environment. The hull strength and reliability is ensured by the hull arrangement that is
enhanced by longitudinal and transverse frames in the area of bilge, deck and sides. Bilge space is
filled with foam polyurethan that guarantees positive buoyancy, resistance to flooding and damage
stability of the boat in accordance with EU ISO 12217-3:2017. The boat is equipped with navigation
lights, bilge water removal system (electrical pump 33 l/min), cleats, a box (tray) for the accumulator
and cords, as well as battery switch. The outboard motor is to be installed on the transom that is
strengthened by a high-duty water resistant plywood. The hull consists of four parts: forepeak,
front cockpit, aft cockpit and submotor niche. In its console construction the boat is provided with
driver’s and passengers’ consoles that have a folding door between them.
ENG

Trunk boxes and an aerated cage are in the front cockpit. A box for spinning rods and side niche
areas for various small things are in the aft cockpit. Fuel tank compartment, battery box and a trunk
box for various things are on the back platform. The lids of trunk boxes and floorboards are made of
water resistant laminated plywood (12 mm thick) with nonskid surface.
4. 1 BASIC HULL PARAMETERS
- bottom plating, transom – 3 mm;
- sides plating – 2 mm;
- longitudinal and transverse frames – 3 mm;
- water gripping sponsons – angle 50 mm x 30 mm x 3 mm;
- stringers – U-bar 30 mm х 50 mm х 30 mm х 3 mm.
Behind the aft bulkhead there is a self-draining submotor recess; steering rope (in the console
construction) and outboard motor control wires and cables (not included into the delivery set) are
connected to the recess through grease-retainers.
A drain hole with a caprolon plug is installed on the back of the boat, in the bottom part of the
transom. Drain hole is meant to drain the water leftovers when bringing the boat ashore.
5. STEERING AND POWER SYSTEMS
An outbard motor (not included into the delivery set) with power allowance not more than 50 HP is
to be installed on the boat. In its console construction the installation of an outboard motor
controller is to be performed on the right side behind the console. In the rudder construction the
boat is operated with the help of an outboard motor rudder, in the console construction – by means
of remote steering control which includes:
- steering gear;
- steering wheel;
- wheel rope with rigid housing (12 ft in length).
ENG

In the back part of the boat there is a fixed fuel tank (50 l). Tank filler neck is located in the back part
of the boat.
If you spilled fuel under the floorboards or trunk boxes while filling the tank or due to careless
handling of fuel storage containers, wash the fuel off with water immediately and pump it out right away
with the help of a bilge pump. Open the hand hole of the recess and ventilate the boat. Melting of the shell
of the bilge pump due to its prolonged exposure in the fuel is not a warannty case.
ATTENTION!
Due to the high burnability of fuel and its vapors follow the fire safety rules when filling the fuel tank.

7. MOTOR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
To ensure the correct installation and good performance of the outboard motor it is strongly
recommended that the motor and its associated parts and accessories are installed by a qualified
specialist. Improper installation of the motor can lead to degradation of control effectiveness,
control failure and fire danger.
If you are installing the outboard motor independently on your own follow the guidelines that are
provided by the «Outboard Motor Installation Manual» that goes along with the motor.
8. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The construction of the boat meets the safety requirements pointed out in Directive 2013/53/EU
and ensures safe operation if the following rules are observed:
- outboard motor power allowance must not exceed the one indicated in Table 1 of the present
Datasheet;
- it is prohibited to run the boat in reservoirs with wave elevation more than 2 m;
- it is prohibited to run the boat if the recommended seating capacity (4 people) is exceeded;
- exceedence of the load limit (weight of passengers and luggage – not more than 450 kg) is
prohibited;
- follow the fire safety rules and environmental safety rules when filling the outboard motor or
fuel tank with fuel or oil;
- do not get up from seats or walk around the boat while on the move;
- it is prohibited to run the boat without personal floating devices provided for each passenger;
- it is categorically prohibited to stay in the front cockpit on the move (faster than 5 km/h);
- it is categorically prohibited to allow a person with no boat driving licence or a drunken person
steer the boat;
- lessen speed when approaching watercrafts and swimmers.

Maneuvering at speed
Warning: do not try to maneuver at high speed before you explore the performance
capability and all the options of the motorboat.
Control the steering, never let the steering wheel go. Always warn the people on board before
performing any maneuver at speed. In case of normal weather you can perform an S-shaped
maneuver, not lowering the speed in which you go on the straight. Other more sharp maneuvers
are performed by means of regulating the motor capacity. Reduce the capacity with no glisade loss,
then drive into the curve. Increase the capacity, come out of the curve in order to reach previous speed.
In order for the boat owner to ensure safety during trips it is necessary to equip the boat with:
- life jackets (for each person on board).
To ensure safety during boating in sea areas it is necessary to equip the boat with:
- waterproof communication means (radio equipment) that provide safety data information including
weather forecast;
- magnet compass;
- 2 life rings with lights, a drag-sheet and a line not less than 20 m in length;
- 3 red parachute flares;
- 4 white false fires;
- 4 red false fires;
- heat-shielding products (for each person on board).
Before starting off please make sure that:
- the motorboat, motor and accumulators are in good condition;
- navigation lights and water pump function normally;
- there is enough fuel in the fuel tank;
- life jackets and other rescue equipment is on board;
- the plugs of the hull (drain plugs) and waterproof compartments, as well as the valve caps of inflatable
ENG
12

compartments are closed tightly;
- the anchor and mooring ropes are fixed on the boat;
Warning: before starting your trip make sure that all the passengers are familiar with the
rules of conduct on a small vessel, they have comfortably taken their seats and put the life
jackets on. Surely check if the fire-fighting and emergency eqpuiment is on board.
The use of the boat is prohibited if the following defects and disturbances are seen:
- blowholes or breaches in the frames or hull plate (independently of their location);
- lack of or depressurization of pressurized compartments and air boxes that are provided for by
the design of a small vessel;
- full rudder angle (35 degrees for each side) is not provided, wheel turning is obstructed;
- rudder blade or parts of rudder gear are damaged;
- fuel leak from the tanks or power system hoses;
- the vibration of motor or outboard motor exceeds acceptable values pointed out in the service
documentation;
- remote engine control system is damaged.
9. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
The boats can be transported by any means of transport with observance of shipping rules that are
valid for a particular type of transport. In any case secure mounting must be ensured for the boat to
provide for its undamaged condition. During the operation process it is necessary to keep track of
the condition of the hull and the equipment of the boat, patch the damage in due time. After a trip
clean the boat out from dirt, remove water from the hull, wash with water if necessary. If the boat is
to be placed into long-term storage, drag it out of water, perform fault detection and do all the
necessary repairments. It is recommended to store the boat (position – keel downwards) in enclosed
space or under roof that will protect it from atmospheric precipitation. It can also be stored in open
ENG
13

spaces if the boat is fully hidden under a cover. During storage periods deenergize the boats electric
system by means of battery switch. When storing the boat on the shore level it up from the ground
by placing keel blocks, tyres or planks under it.
10. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
During the operation process all the fuel oil residues, dirty water, trash, edible wastes as well as
pollutant substances must be kept on board.
In order to prevent water pollution during the operation process it is necessary: while the engine is
on and the motor is running, every once in a while check the condition of fuel system connections
and if any fuel leaks are found, take remedial actions immediately. If it is impossible to correct the
trouble while the motor is running, it must be stopped in order to find out the reason of the defect
and prevent fuel intrusion overboard.
11. MAINTENANCE SERVICE
After every use of the motorboat perform visual analysis of the surface in order to find out whether
there is any damage, to check all the main fuel system and power system parts, as well as fix the
problems and do the repairs if necessary. The boat must undergo maintenance service (diagnostics,
MOT test and remedial maintenance if any damage is found) in authorized maintenance centers.
12. DISPOSAL
A decommissioned motorboat must be disposed. The owner of the small vessel is responsible for its
disposal. Small vessels must be disposed in specially equipped places. The disposal process of small
vessels in normal conditions as well as in an emergency must be safe for people.
