INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Generation Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) by Walker Bay! The Generation redefines
the benchmark in RIB luxury craft. With elegant European styling and a sporty wide-body frame, this boat is sure to
exceed your expectations in comfort and performance. A precisely constructed deep-V fiberglass hull provides a smooth
ride, facilitates early planing and prevents potential issues of cavitation, while the spacious interior of the wide-body hull
affords ample space for cargo and crew. Every Generation RIB is backed by a 5-year limited hull warranty and a 10-year
limited warranty on the ORCA CSM tubes.
Welcome to the next Generation of luxury RIBs!
ABOUT THE OWNER’S MANUAL
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft;
the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on their operation. Please read it carefully and familiarize
yourself with the craft before using it.
This Owner’s Safety Manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first craft or inflatable, or if
you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you
obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of the craft. Your dealer or national boating/sailing
federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design category of your craft (see DESIGN
CATEGORIES) and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions. Even when your boat is
categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design categories A, B, and C range from severe
storm conditions for category A, to strong conditions for the top of category C, open to the hazards of a freak wave or
gust. These are therefore dangerous conditions, where only a competent, fit and trained crew using a well maintained
craft can satisfactorily operate.
This Owner’s Safety Manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting guide. In case of difficulty, contact Walker
Bay or its national representatives.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, fixing or modifications. Modifications that may affect the
safety of the craft must be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. Walker Bay or its representative
cannot be held responsible for modifications that Walker Bay® has not approved. Modifications or attachment of items to
the hull or tube may affect your warranty (see LIMITED WARRANTY).
In some countries a driving license, boating license, certification, or authorization are required, or specific regulations are
in force for operating a marine craft. Check with your local boating safety office.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowances for the deterioration that will occur over time and as a result
of heavy use or misuse of the craft. Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used
properly. This is not compatible with safe boating (see OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS). Always adjust the speed and
direction of the craft to sea conditions.
The craft should have onboard the appropriate safety equipment (see SAFETY EQUIPMENT) according to the type of craft,
weather conditions etc. This equipment is mandatory in some countries. The crew should be familiar with the use of all
safety equipment and emergency maneuvering (see SAFETY EQUIPMENT & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES). Contact your
local boating/sailing organization for information, lessons or drill sessions.
All persons should wear a suitable Coast Guard approved buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal floatation device). Note that
in some countries, it is a legal requirement to wear a buoyancy aid that complies with their national regulations at all
times.
PLEASE KEEP THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND YOUR MSO IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER
WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.

YOUR BOAT - FEATURES AND DECK PLANS
MATERIALS
Walker Bay®uses materials and fabric from the worlds’s most respected manufacturers. We take extra care in our
construction to create a line of boats you can depend on.
ORCA CSM
®- Walker Bay uses the finest Hypalon® material available. Four layers of calendared sheets offer
guaranteed air-tightness and optimal adhesion of rubbers. This combination of materials provides improved resistance
against weathering, chemicals and abrasions. The tubes are bonded using a three-layer gluing process with all seams
internally and externally butted for maximum reliability.
PREMIUM FIBERGLASS - Walker Bay®uses top quality FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) to build a hull that is both
stiff and strong in tension and compression, which is important to the performance of the boat. A fine glossy gelcoat
not only creates a glossy, high-lustre, ultra-smooth finish, but provides maximum durability as well.
(400 & 450 Version Only)

CAUTION
Wrecks, reefs, rocky shores, sandbars, and shallows are hazardous and should be avoided or approached
with extreme caution.

11
MAINTENANCE
FRP (FIBERGLASS) HULL AND GELCOAT - Use a mild boat cleaning agent or cleaner mixed with fresh water.
Make sure the cleaning agent you use does not contain ammonia or chlorine. Ammonia or abrasive type cleaners will
dull and discolor the surface of the gelcoat.
Use a berglass wax that is capable of lling gelcoat pores, and screening out harmful ultraviolet rays that may cause
the gelcoat to fade. Wax at least twice every season.
On heavily used areas such as the deck, berglass surfaces may be severely scratched by dirt, sand or footwear. To
prevent surface damages, keep it as clean as possible.
At the start and the end of your boating season check the condition of fasteners, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets and other
ttings. Tighten or replace if necessary. For information contact Walker Bay®customer service.
TUBES - After use, rinse boat with mild liquid soap and fresh water, rinse away sand and debris.
Apply 303 Aerospace Protectant at least once per season to protect tube from UV (ultra violet) rays. Walker Bay®rec-
ommends 303 because it is free of silicone oils, waxes, glycerin, or petroleum distillates unlike many other protectants.
303 leaves a like-new, non-oily, anti-static nish that does not attract dust. 303 can be purchased through the manu-
facturer’s website: www.303products.com
VALVES - Tighten air valves several times per season. Loose valves may result in air leaks or loss of pressure in the
tube. Tighten valves with the tool provided in the repair kit.
Valve replacement should be done by a trained professional. Contact your dealer to replace valves.
TEAK WOOD - Use a teak cleaner that can penetrate the pores of the wood and cleanse them of dirt and stains.
Avoid caustic cleaners since they could damage the wood. Immediately after cleaning, apply an oil sealer with soft
cloth. Allow a couple of hours for the oil to soak into the wood and apply a second coat. Wipe off excess oil.
METAL - To prevent corrosion, Walker Bay uses only stainless steel and anodized or powder coated aluminum metal
parts.
Stainless steel nuts and bolts may show signs of corrosion. This is due to metallic residue from contact with non-stain-
less metal items like screwdrivers or wrenches.
Rinse metal parts with fresh water when cleaning the rest of the boat.
To replace metal parts or add components containing metal, use stainless steel and anodized or powder coated alumi-
num to prevent corrosion.
CAUTION
Do not use oily or abrasive substances.
Do not use products that contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products.
Do not use Armor All® automotive cleaning agent and preservative on tube.
Use only diluted citrus-based cleaners. They are excellent for marine cleaning purposes, and safe to use. Full
strength citrus-based cleaners can discolor PVC.
Use household cleaners sparingly and do not discharge them into waterways.
Avoid contact of the tubes’ fabric with hazardous or harmful materials such as: battery acid, oil, gasoline, vinyl
preserving agents, or alcohol based cleaning solutions, waxes, or solvents.
Avoid contact of sharp or abrasive objects with the tube. They can puncture the tube.
Do not mix cleaners and work in a well ventilated area.

12
NAVIGATION
WARNING
Do not operate the boat under the inuence of drugs or alcohol or any other impairment or disability.
CAUTION
Carry, read and understand navigation charts.
Observe right-of-way as dened by “Rules of the Road” and required by COLREGS.
Obey signs for restricted areas designated for swimming, bathing or other forms of recreation.
Learn to control your boat and know the limitations of your capabilities and the capabilities of your
boat. If necessary take a boating course to learn these limitations.
Inform someone of your Float Plan including time and place of departure, proposed route and expected
time of return.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT - BE A CLEAN BOATER
The practice of clean boating and good environmental stewardship make sense economically, for our family’s health
and safety, for the environment, and for the future of recreational boating. Clean Boating includes all aspects of boat
maintenance, operation, and housekeeping. Care must be taken during cleaning, fueling, motoring, pumpout, and trash
disposal to minimize potential effects on the aquatic environment.
Cleaning Your Boat:
When washing a boat’s deck and hull surface, people often use products that contain toxic ingredients. See MAINTE-
NANCE for guidelines on how cleaning agents should be chosen.
Fueling and Bildge Maintenance:
Take precautions not to overll your fuel tank. If you overow onto the boat or dock, wipe up the spill with a rag; do
not hose it into the water. If you do spill fuel or oil into the water, do not disperse it with detergent or soap! That only
sends the problem down to the seaoor where it becomes more toxic and more difcult to clean up. If the spill is large
or if it discolors the surface of the water, you must report it to the local authorities. Failure to do so is illegal and can
cost you civil penalties and/or criminal sanctions.
Exhaust Emission:
Increased exhaust emissions (hydrocarbons) cause water and air pollution. To achieve the highest efciency, have the
engine properly tuned and the hull cleaned regularly. See the engine manufacturer’s manual for engine tuning direc-
tions.
Clean Motoring:
If you become grounded, do not attempt to motor your way out. This could cause serious damage not only to your mo-
tor and propellers, but also to the seaoor and local marine organisms. If you sight a marine mammal such as a mana-
tee, dolphin or whale, slow down and keep a safe distance of at least 100 yards. It is illegal to feed, harass, molest or
injure a marine mammal.
Clean Trash Discharge:
Stow all loose items, plastic bags, drink cans, and other articles properly so they do not blow overboard. Never discard
your garbage overboard. Whatever you take aboard, bring back.

13
Rinse boat with mild soap and fresh water after use. Rinse away sand or debris.
Dry boat before storing to prevent accumulation of mould.
Store boat in a cool and dry place.
STORAGE
CAUTION
Risk of re. Do not store fuel, fuel tanks, fuel lines or any fuel related components in direct sunlight. Read
Owner’s Manual provided with your outboard motor for storage information.
Avoid storing boat in water when not in use to prevent contact with hazardous chemicals due to pollution,
abrasion from foreign objects and accumulation of marine growth.
Use a boat cover or storage bag. Avoid unnecessary exposure of the tubes to direct sunlight. If a bag or
cover is not provided with your boat, accessory covers are available. For information contact Walker Bay®
customer service.
Do not store boat where it may come in contact with sharp or abrasive objects.
Do not store boat where rodents may have access, they can chew through the tube’s fabric creating a leak.
Do not place heavy objects on boat in storage.
Tie boat down if you keep it in a potentially windy area.
MOTORING
WARNING
Risk of injury. Propeller can cut, injure and kill.
Avoid moving parts of engine and propeller.
Read Motor Owner’s Manual provided with motor, fuel tank, lines and system.
Use an emergency switch or lanyard attached to your wrist. This will stop motor when lanyard is pulled.
Check motor shuts off when lanyard is pulled. The stop/kill switch should activate.
Do not motor near swimmers or divers.
Do not allow swimmers to approach stern or propeller while motor is running.
CAUTION
Risk of capsizing, loss of control or falling overboard. Sit forward when motoring boat alone.
Do not make sharp turns at high speeds. Sharp turns can cause loss of control. See SPECIFICATIONS AND
MAXIMUM CAPACITIES for maximum recommended speeds.
Shift engine gear lever to neutral before starting. Unexpected movement can make occupants fall overboard.
Before starting motor, check motor bracket screws are securely fastened. Loose motor bracket screws can result
in loss of control or loss of motor.
Pay attention to winds, water conditions, currents and tides. They can affect fuel consumption.
Allow sufcient distance to stop or maneuver if required to avoid collisions.

14
MOTOR TRIM
MOTOR SELECTION
Trim motor properly. Correct trim is essential to optimum motoring performance. A general rule is the axis of the
propeller should be parallel to surface of water.
Motor trimmed too positively: boat may porpoise or ride “bow high”.
Motor trimmed too negatively: boat may ride nose down and have difculty planing.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
Reduce speed in waves. Avoid excessive speeds and sharp turns in rough weather.
Avoid rapid acceleration. Rapid acceleration can make operator or passengers fall overboard.
Do not reverse quickly. Reversing quickly can cause swamping.
CAUTION
Do not under power. A motor too small for boat size or load may not have adequate power to navigate currents
or headwinds.
Do not use a motor not approved for use with the boat.
WARNING
Do not overpower. Do not use a motor with a higher horse power, or kilowatts than the capacity label
states. Overpowering can result in severe handling or stability problems.
Do not use fuel tank, fuel lines or fuel system components not approved for use with the boat.
CAUTION
Motoring into wind: adjust trim down and keep weight forward to prevent possible capsize.
Motoring in same direction as waves or swell, adjust trim up and keep weight back to prevent bow from
submerging.
CAUTION
Carry appropriate safety equipment* such as but not limited to:
- Coast Guard approved lifejackets or personal otation devices for each passenger**
- charts - EPIRB device
- tool kit/ spare parts kit - protective clothing in case of weather change
- ares - whistle
- re extinguisher - First Aid kit
- anchor - navigation lights
(to be continued on next page)

15
CAUTION
(continuing from previous page)
- ashlight - mobile phone
- tow line(s) - tube repair kit
- pump - bailer
- oars/paddles
*Note: Specic safety equipment is mandatory in some countries. Failure to carry safety equipment onboard
could result in nes or other penalties. Crew should be familiar with use of all safety equipment and
emergency maneuvering (re-boarding, towing, etc.). Contact your local boating or sailing organization for
information, lessons or drill sessions.
**Note: All persons should wear a Coast Guard approved buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal oatation
device). In some countries, it is a legal requirement to wear a buoyancy aid at all times that complies with
national regulations.

First time ination - When inating your boat for the rst time, inate all air chambers evenly as directed in
INFLATION SEQUENCE. Once the boat is completely inated release 50% of the air pressure in all chambers
and re-inate all chambers to working pressure. This will allow fabric to settle from packaging.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
Using foot pump provided, inate each chamber to approximately 50%. This will protect the bafes which separate
the chambers from unnecessary distortion and potential harm.
Finish inating each chamber. The tubes should be “drum tight”. Working pressure of tubes is 0.25bar or 3.5psi.
CAUTION
Do not use a compressed air source (ie. automotive tire air compressor) to inate boat/tubes. Over-ination by
a compressed air source can rupture seams and/or bulkheads.
When using an electric pump to inate your boat, nish ination procedure with manual foot pump provided.
Air chambers must be inated evenly and to correct working pressure (0.25bar/3.5psi).
Over a period of days tubes may lose pressure. Check pressure before use and re-inate chambers to working
pressure if necessary. Failure to do so could result in chang or damage to tube or other parts of boat.
CAUTION
Do not exceed working pressure of tubes. Exceeding working pressure can damage fabric, bafes, or
seams and cause loss of pressure.

If this is the rst time inating tubes and/or oor, check
that valves are tight. Use tool provided in repair kit and
gently tighten valves.
INFLATING - To retain air when inating, release valves
to “out” position by pushing center button (a) and turning
approximately 90 degrees counter clockwise.
Secure valve with “cap” (b) when nished inating.
DEFLATING - To release air from tubes remove “cap” (b)
and position valve in “in” position by pushing center button
(a) in and turning approximately 90 degrees clockwise.
Valve should remain in the “in” position.
OPERATION OF VALVES
CHANGES IN PRESSURE - ALTITUDE
ab
CAUTION
Changes in air temperature will affect air pressure in tubes. Monitor air pressure in tubes and adjust to
maintain working pressure.
Changes in elevation or altitude will affect air pressure. In case of changes of elevation or altitude, adjust
air pressure in tubes and/or oor to maintain working pressure. To prevent over-ination, decrease air
pressure before transporting boat to higher elevation.
CAUTION
Do not force valves. They may break.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
WARNING
Be careful in handling the battery, because the elctrolyte of it is acid. If your skin or other body parts are
exposed to the electrolyte, clean with fresh water and seek medical assistance.
Be careful when connecting or disconnecting the battery. Do not charge the battery on the boat.
Keep the battery terminals cleaned, tightened and isolated, to prevent arc discharges, short circuits,
explosion, or re.
Keep good ventilation in the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery is securely fastened.
The boat is equipped with a 12V electrical system, powered by the battery. An electrical switch panel on the
center console distributes the power to the given components. The direct current system supplies all circuits on
the boat, including navigation lights, pumps, ignition, etc.
The battery must be secured on the boat and terminals covered. Terminals must be kept clean and checked
regularly.

NAVIGATION LIGHTS
The Generation is equipped with navigation lights.
The side lights are installed at the center of the bow step. A green light is illuminated towards the port (left) side,
and a red light is illuminated towards the starboard (right) side.
A mast with a white light may be mounted to the transom (see FEATURE & DECK PLANS) to provide 360olighting.
All navigation lights are to be controlled by the switch panel on the center console.
CAUTION
Do not use the boat between sunset and sunrise, or in low-light conditions, without turning on navigation
lights. The lights are important means for boaters to provide current locations and to indicate directions of
movement at night.
STEERING SYSTEM
The Generation is equipped with a mechanical steering system.
To assure safety and trouble-free use, the steering system requires periodic maintenance. Contact a dealer for
maintenance services.
CAUTION
Improperly maintained controls could cause accidents. Make sure regular maintainance is carried out.
The steering system on Generation is not self-centering. To assure complete control of the boat, always
grip the steering wheel rmly.
FUEL SYSTEM
The Generation has an internal fuel system. The fuel tank is located below the deck near the console.
WARNING
Danger of re, explosion and open ame.
Be extremly careful when operating the fuel system, e.g. refueling, installing, uninstralling or cleaning.
Fuel fumes may ignite from a static spark and cause serious injury and damage. Do not smoke, allow open
ame, or spark within 15 meters of fuelling location.
REFUELING:
- Before refueling, stop the engine.
- The fuel tank cap is located on the starboard (right) side, right behind the driver’s seat.
- Do not overll fuel tank. Allow at least 6% allowance in space for the fuel to expand.
- Refuel in permitted refueling areas, such as fuel docks in the harbour or gas stations. These locations include
precautions that lower the probability of static explosion.
- Read all warnings on the fuel distributor and around. Act accordingly.
- Do not board the boat while refueling. Boarding and disembarking may creat a static charge that may ignite
the fumes over the intake pipe.
- When lling for the rst time, and during successive refueling, check the entire fuel system of the boat for
leaks or damage. If any leaking or damaged parts is found, repair immediately, and ventilate the area to
remove explosive fumes.
- Dry spilled fuel thoroughly. Dispose of rags on-shore, according to regulations.
- Before starting the engine or any equipment, check for fuel fumes.
