OWNER’S MANUAL

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 2 (35)
FOREWORD
Dear Owner of the Finnish Yamarin-boat! We thank you for choosing Yamarin and wish you
many pleasant experiences while on the water.
The intention of this manual is 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
its operation, care and maintenance. Please read it carefully, and familiarise yourself with the
craft before using it.
Naturally, owner's manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first
craft, or 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 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, and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions.
The sea and wind conditions corresponding to the design categories A, B, and C range from
severe storm conditions to strong conditions, and are open to the hazards of a freak wave or
gust. Even when your boat is categorised for them, they are dangerous conditions, where only
a competent, fit and trained crew using a well maintained craft can satisfactorily operate.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble shooting guide. In case of
difficulty, refer to the manufacturer or his representative. Always use trained and competent
people for maintenance, fixing or modifications. Modifications that may affect the safety
characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent people.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for modifications he has not approved.
In some countries a driving licence or authorisation are required, or specific regulations are in
force.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur
in 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. Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to
sea conditions.

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 3 (35)
If your craft is fitted with a life raft, read carefully its operating manual. The craft should have
onboard the appropriate safety equipment (lifejackets, harness, etc.) according to the type of
craft, weather conditions, etc., these equipments are mandatory in some countries. The crew
should be familiar with the use of all safety equipment and emergency manoeuvring (man
overboard recovery, towing, etc). Sailing schools and clubs regularly organise drill sessions.
All persons should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (Life jacket/Personal Floatation Device)
when on deck. Note that in some countries it is a legal requirement to wear a buoyancy aid
that complies with their national regulations at all times
We wish you lots of fun and hope you have a good time on board your YAMARIN!

1General
The Owner’s manual will help you to familiarise with the properties and features of your new
boat, as well as with its care and maintenance. Separate manuals of the installed equipments
are attached and are referred to in many sections. You can of course complement this owner’s
manual by adding the manuals of the devices which are installed afterwards. There is also
space for your own notes in the end of this manual.
The craft has a running serial number, CIN-code. The CIN-code is labelled on the hull of the
craft on the aft part at right side / on outer surface of transom beneath the edge rail. You can
write down the relevant CIN-code in the declaration of confirmity. When you have affairs
with the manufacturer or dealer, please tell the CIN-code and the type of craft. This helps in
delivering correct spare parts. If you need gelcoat for repairs, tell the code of the relevant
colour when ordering.

5Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1 General
The meaning of the Owner’s manual is not to be a complete service or repair manual, but to
guide the user to know the charateristics of the boat and to use his/her boat in a proper way.
5.2 Basic data
Manufacturer:Konekesko Oy, Marine P.O.B. 54 FIN-01301 VANTAA, Tel [phone]
Design category: ABCD
Design category is explained as follows:
Category A:This craft is designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind
force 8 (Beaufort scale) and in significant wave heights of 4 m and above (see
note below), and vessels largely self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as
hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be encountered on extended
voyages, for example across oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind
and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
Category B: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 8
and the associated wave heights (Significant wave height up to 4 m, see note
below). 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: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6
and the associated wave heights (Significant wave height up to 2 m, see note
below). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in
estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 4
and the associated wave heights (Occasional maximum waves of 0,5 m height).
Such conditions may be encountered on sheltered inland waters, and in coastal
waters in fine weather.

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 14 (35)
Note: 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.
Maximum recommended load: See specifications

5.3 Maximum number of persons
The maximum recommended number of persons on board is shown in specifications.
See general arrangement
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum recommended 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 (see chapter Loading). Always use the
seats/seating spaces provided.
5.4 Loading
The maximum recommended load of your boat is shown in specifications. This includes the
for example following weights:
a) the total weight of persons on board xx kg (the default mass of an adult is 75 kg and of
a child 37,5 kg)
b) basic equipment 10 kg
c) consumable liquids (fresh water, fuel etc.) in portable tanks xx kg
d) personal equipment ( e.g. hobby equipment) xx kg.
e) other stores xx kg
f) cargo (e.g. hobby equipment) xx kg
Example calculation:
Yamarin YAMARIN 56 Hard Top, maximum recommended load = 385kg + fuel 80kg
There is 3 adults, 2 childs, 20kg portable water tank, 10kg basic equipment, 15kg fishing
equipment on board
3x75kg + 2x37,5kg + 20kg + 10kg + 15kg = 345kg
Load on board 345kg < maximum remmended load 385kg, loading of boat is OK..
WARNING!: 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.
5.5 Engine and propeller
See specifications for the maximum recommended engine power and the maximum
recommended engine mass.
Follow the instructions of the engine manufacturer when choosing the propeller for your craft.

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 17 (35)
5.6 Risk of flooding and stability
5.6.1 Openings in the hull and deck
WARNING! Learn to use the boat's draining systems in order to be able to use them
correctly in an emergency.
YAMARIN 56 Hard Top Draining system
Bilge pump have been installed to Yamarin 56 HT. You can empty bilge by using it.As a
extra eguipment there could be electrical bilge pump installed to your boat. Electrical bilge
pump is located between fuel tank and stern. You can check electrical bilge pump by
detaching the plywood board under the aft seat. The electrical bilge pump is connected to
boats battery. Electical bilge pump operates as long as there is current in the battery.
NOTE! There is always some condensing water in the bilge. Some water may also come
through hull bushings, particularly when the boat ages. Always remember to
check the bilge before you leave the boat at quay or buoy for a longer period and
before getting underway.
WARNING! The boat's handling properties may become extremely dangerous, if there is
water in the bilge.

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 18 (35)
5.6.2 Stability and buoyancy
When using YAMARIN with engine over 25kW (34hp), it shall be equipped with minimum
class 8A68B effect portable fire extinguisher (rating and location) shown in your boat models
figure.
5.7 Risk of fire or explosion
5.7.1 Refuelling
Before you start to fill the fuel tank, turn off the engine and naturally any cigarettes. Do not
operate switches or appliances that can cause spark formation.
When filling the fuel tank, do not use a plastic funnel, which prevents discharging the
potential difference between the fuel pistol and the filling fitting. After filling (see tank
capacity in specification) check that no fuel has leaked to the bilge, and clean any spilled fuel
immediately.
Do not stow any reserve canisters in non-ventilated spaces or unsecured, or any equipment
containing petrol in spaces not intended for that.
Do not stow any loose items in the tank space, that may move and cause damage to fuel pipes
or hoses. Check annually, that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins. When hose or pump is
damageg or weaken, it should be removed immediately.
WARNING! Fuel and its vapours are highly explosive. Extreme caution must be exercised
and these instructions must be followed when refuelling. The smell of fuel
always means that there is vaporised fuel in the boat.
If your boat has a teak finish and you think that fuel might splash onto it when refuelling, we
recommend that you wet the surface with water before refuelling. It prevents gasoline from
entering into wood, and no gasoline stains are left

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 19 (35)
5.7.2 Fire protection
When using YAMARIN with engine over 25kW (34hp), it shall be equipped with
portable fire extinguisher (rating and location) shown in your boat models figure.
YAMARIN 56 Hard Top. Location and rating of portable fire extinguisher
The portable fire extinguishers shall be serviced annually. Over ten years old extinguishers
are not accepted without new pressure testing of the container. If you replace portable fire
extinguishers, the new ones shall have at least identical fire-fighting capacity.
Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible also when the boat is occupied.
Inform members of the crew about the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment, the
location of discharge openings into the engine space, and the location of routes and exits.
Keep the bilges clean and check for fuel and gas vapours or fuel leaks frequently.
5.8 Main switch
Main switch (in the boat's battery compartment) operation:
- switch clockwise -> battery connected
- switch counter-clockwise -> battery disconnected
Switch off the battery when you leave the boat.
NOTE ! Never switch off the main switch when the engine is running! It may damage the
charger.

YAMARIN 56 Hard Top 20 (35)
5.9 Operation
If this is your first boat, or a boat type new to you, take someone with experience from a
corresponding boat with you on the first times.
5.9.1 Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your YAMARIN -boat, but the ever changing weather
conditions., like wind and waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The boat
has a cable steering system. The remote control combines the functions of throttle, forward
and reverse gears, and trim angle adjustment.
5.9.2 Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device with one end attached to the ignition switch panel and the
other end to, for instance, your life vest. When the emergency switch is detached from the
ignition switch panel, it automatically switches off the engine. It is extremely important that
the boat stops, if, for some reason, the pilot loses his or her balance and gets thrown away
from the pilot's position. Never drive the boat without attaching the emergency switch onto
yourself. If you attach it to your arm, do not steer the boat with that hand, because the lanyard
may twine around the steering wheel in tight turns.
The engine does not start if the emergency switch is not attached to the ignition switch panel.
WARNING! A rotating propeller is dangerous to anyone fallen overboard or a swimmer.
Switch off the engine with the emergency switch or otherwise before a
swimmer or a water skier climbs on board.
5.9.3 Gearshift and throttle
The engine is put into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upwards with
your fingers, and by pushing or pulling the gear/throttle lever forward or backward depending
on which direction you are planning to set out. When the engine is in gear, you adjust the boat
speed with this same gear/throttle lever.
When the boat is travelling forward slowly, you can use the reversing gear for braking, for
instance, when approaching the quay. Shifting into reverse must not be done if the boat is
travelling at higher speeds, because it damages the engine.
5.9.4 Adjusting the trim angle
The main rules in adjusting the trim angle are the following:
-when raising the boat to plane, keep the "bow down" position
-when the boat is planing and the sea is not too rough, raise the bow until the
boat begins to porpoise or the propeller looses its bite. Then lower the bow
slightly until driving feels stable. You can optimize the rig angle with the
help of log book.
