FOREWORD
Congratulations on choosing a Yamarin 65 DC! We are delighted to welcome you as a
Yamarin owner.
The intention of this manual is to help you to operate your craft safely, with maximum
enjoyment. The manual 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, the 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 association or yacht club
will be pleased to advise you of local boating schools, or competent instructors.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble shooting guide. In case of
difficulty please contact the dealer. Always use qualified and competent people for the
maintenance, repair and modification of the boat. Modifications that may affect the safety
characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent people.
The manufacturer is not responsible for modifications he has not approved.
Always keep your boat in a good condition and be aware that the boat requires maintenance
and servicing. Any craft – no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not
used properly. Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea conditions.
All persons should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (Life jacket/Personal Flotation Device) when
on deck.
We wish you many enjoyable times on-board your Yamarin 65 DC!

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual.
Always check at least the following items 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
water area you are aiming for? During use, hull windows and other hatches must be
battened down to prevent water incursion
−
−−
− Loading and stability
Do not overload the craft and distribute loads appropriately. To avoid impairment of the
craft’s stability, do not place heavy items high up. Please consider that the stability of the
boat is reduced if people stand up when on-board during use.
−
−−
− Passengers
Ensure that there is Personal Flotation Device or Lifejackets for all people on-board.
Agree crew tasks before setting off.
−
−−
− Fuel and fuel system
Make sure that the boat has enough fuel. Keep in mind that rough conditions at sea impact
on fuel consumption and that it can increase by more than 30% when compared to calm
conditions. As a rule of thumb you should aim for there being at least 20% left in the tank
when arriving at your destination. Regularly check the fuel filter to ensure that there is no
water in the moisture trap located under the fuel filter itself. The fuel filter should be
changed 1-2 times per year depending on engine hours and quality of fuel.
−
−−
− Engine and manoeuvring equipment
Check the function and condition of steering, batteries and remote control and carry out
routine checks according to the engine manual
−
−−
− Boat’s seaworthiness
Check the boat’s seaworthiness: no fuel or water leaks are permitted, safety equipment
must be available on-board etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge!
−
−−
− Fastening of equipment
Check that all equipment and heavy items are positioned so that they are held in place
during travel at sea and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly over board
if they are not fixed properly with press studs.
−
−−
− Nautical charts
If you are not navigating in familiar waters, ensure you have nautical charts on-board that
cover a large enough area. If your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, familiarise
yourself with 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 to tangle in the propeller during manoeuvring.
−
−−
− Obligatory equipment
What is considered obligatory equipment varies from country to country. Find out what is
required for your boat.
You will find additional instructions concerning the engine in a separate manual.

1General
The owner’s manual will help you to become familiarised with the properties and features of
your new boat, as well as 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,
of course, complement this owner’s manual by adding the manuals of devices which are
installed afterwards. There is also space for your own notes at the end of this manual.
The craft has a running serial number, CIN-code (Craft Identification Number). The CIN-
code can be found on the starboard side of the transom just below the rub rail. We recommend
that you write down the CIN-code in the declaration of conformity in this book. When
contacting the dealer, please provide the CIN-code and the type of craft. This helps in
delivering the correct spare parts.

in the recreational craft directive.
3Warranty
The boat and the equipment installed at the boat factory are guaranteed for one year, starting
from the first day of use. Please contact your dealer in relation to any potential warranty
issues. Please remember to provide the CIN-code! If possible, please provide a digital
photograph of the subject of your claim. This usually speeds up the claims process.
4Before use
4.1 Registration
Registration regulations vary from country to country. Find out what is required in relation to
your own boat.
4.2 Insurance
Boat insurance can compensate damage occurring on water or during transport and lifting.
Check insurance liability separately when lifting the boat. 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. Be particularly careful to check insurance liability when you lift and
transport the boat!

4.3 Training
No one is a born sailor. There is plenty of boating literature available. Navigation courses are
arranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you can gain basic skills.
However, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation,
docking and anchoring after long practical experience.
5Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1 General
The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual, but to guide the
user to know the characteristics of the boat and to use his/her boat in a proper way.
5.2 Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D)
according to the recreational craft directive 94/25/EC. Yamarin 65 DC is
constructed according to category C. Below you will find information on what
each category means:
Category A:The boat is built for conditions where the wind can exceed 8
Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves (please
refer to note below) can exceed 4m. 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 across 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 the wind reaches a maximum
of 8 Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves
(please refer to note below) does not exceed 4m. 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 the wind reaches a maximum
of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves
does not exceed 2 m (please refer to note below). 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 the wind reaches a
maximum of 4 Beaufort (approx. 8 m/s) and where the significant height of the
waves (please refer to note below) does not exceed 0.3 m and the height of the
greatest waves is no more than 0.5 m. Such conditions may be encountered on
protected waters on lakes and in coastal areas during fine weather conditions.

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser
12 (40)
Note:Significant wave height is a term used when planning to build a boat. 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. In the event that 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
Please also refer to section 5.4 “Loading”.
Main dimensions and capacities: See technical specifications
Craft length, width, total weight etc. as well as tank capacities are shown in
technical specifications.
Builder’s plate: Part of the previously mentioned information is given on the builder's plate,
which is affixed next to the driver’s seat. A full explanation of this information
is given in the relevant sections of this manual.

Seats of Yamarin 65 DC:
NOTE! If you load the boat from stern to bow, you will have better fuel
economy.
5.4 Loading
The maximum permitted load for the Yamarin 65 DC is 700 kg. This load includes the
following weights:
a) the total weight of passengers 525 kg (the default weight of an adult is assumed to be
75 kg and that of a child 37,5 kg)
b) basic equipment 15 kg and life raft 30 kg
c) consumable liquids (fuel) in fixed tanks 110 kg
d) personal equipment 20 kg.
NOTE! The maximum permitted load includes only weights mentioned
above.
WARNING! When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum
recommended load. Always load the craft carefully and distribute
loads appropriately (roughly an even keel). Heavy equipment
should usually to be placed in the storage compartment under the
aft seat. Always avoid placing heavy weights high up.

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser
16 (40)
5.5 Engine and propeller
The maximum recommended engine power for the Yamarin 65 DC is 225 hp (166 kW). The
construction of the boat is not designed to bear more power than 225 hp. The manoeuvrability
of the boat can be very dangerous if the boat has bigger than 225 hp engine. The warranty is
not valid if boat is used with more power than 225 hp. Follow the dealer’s instructions when
choosing the propeller for your craft.
5.6 Prevention of water incursion and stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck thru fittings and closing valves
The Yamarin 65 DC has a rainwater draining system, which means that rainwater is drained
from the undecked part of the boat 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 closing valve (number 2 in the next picture) is located under the back seat. This
drain valve is meant to be shut at maximum load to prevent potential water incursion. In
other loading conditions the drain valve should remain open.
The boat has a hand pump under the back seat. The hand pump has a capacity of 0.5 l/pull.
1) Deck fitting for fuel tank 2) Rain water drainage valve
3) Fuel tank vent 4) Thru fitting for hand pump
5) Drain plug 6) Shut-off flap

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser
17 (40)
The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one baler or bucket on
the boat and that it has been secured.
WARNING! The bilge pump system is not intended to cope with a leakage
caused by running aground or other equivalent damage.
PRECAUTION! Regularly check to ensure that there is no debris at the end of the
suction hose for hand pump. The bilge pump suction hose is
located in the rear end of bilge. You have a service access through
rear compartments inspection hatch.
WARNING! Always keep the drainpipe shut when its inboard end is constantly
below the waterline due to the load. 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 drainpipe.
For instance, 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 amount of condensed water in the bilge. As
the boat ages, there is a risk that a small amount of water may
come through the hull bushings. Always remember to check the
bilge, via the inspection hatch under the aft seat, before you leave
the boat at quay or buoy and always before setting off. Have an
authorised repair shop check for possible leaks.
WARNING! The boat's handling properties may become extremely dangerous,
if there is water in the bilge.
WARNING! In rough weather, the hatches and drawers should be kept shut to
minimise the risk of them filling with water.
5.6.2 Stability and buoyancy
Please note, that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the
distribution of the weight onboard may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance
of your craft. However, please remember that large breaking waves always present a serious
danger to stability.
The boat does not float if filled with water. In accordance with the Recreational Craft
Directive boats with a length of 6 metres or more do not need to float if filled with water.

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser

5.7 Avoiding the risk of fire or danger of explosion
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.
If the nozzle shuts off while you are refuelling, you should rotate the nozzle by 90 degrees to
prevent the jet from landing directly on the chain mounting screw.
Always keep a spare can of fuel onboard. A suitable place for stowing the spare can,
especially considering fire safety, is either of the anchor boxes in the stern. There is no risk of
gasified fuel coming into contact with battery compartments or the electrical system from
either of these boxes.
Do not stow any loose items under aft seat that, if moved, could prevent fuel from going to
the engine. This is particularly important for items that may move against hoses running to or
from the fuel filter. Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn at lead-ins.
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 tank.
5.7.2 Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A68B. The portable fire
extinguisher must be serviced annually by an authorised inspector. In the event that the fire
extinguisher is replaced the capacity of the new one should be the equivalent of the old one.
Location of fire extinguisher in Yamarin 65 DC (1)

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser
19 (40)
Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible even when the boat is loaded. Inform
members of the crew about the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment.
Remember:
-Never block passages to exits and hatches
-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 make changes to any of the boat’s systems (especially the electricity or the fuel
systems) or allow an unqualified person to make changes to any of the boat’s systems
-Never smoke when handling petrol or gas.
5.8 Main switch and fuses
Electric circuits fuses are located beneath the main power switch and to the fuse panel which
is part of the instrumental panel. Do not change the fuse amperages or install any components
that exceed the nominal amperage of the circuit in the electric system.
When you leave the boat, switch off battery using the main switch.
Switch the battery on before using the boat.
NOTE! Never switch off the main switch when the engine is running!
This could cause serious damage to the engine’s electrical system.
NOTE! When installing equipment afterwards use Extra circuit.
Never use the aluminium hull of the boat as grounding network.
NOTE! When connecting or disconnecting the battery do not touch cable
mounts and hull of the boat simultaneously with tool.
5.9 Operation
If this is your first boat or a boat type new to you, take someone with experience from a
similar boat with you the first few times.
NOTE! The maximum propulsion power for Yamarin 65 DC is 166 kW
(225 hp). Do not use the boat with bigger engine power than
marked on the builder’s plate.
5.9.1 Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your Yamarin 65 DC, but constantly changing weather
conditions, like wind and waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The

Yamarin 65 Day Cruiser
20 (40)
remote control combines the functions of throttle, forward and reverse gears, and the adjusting
of the engine trim angle. The boat has a hydraulic steering system.
5.9.2 Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device with one end attached to the switch under the remote
control and the other end to, for instance, your life vest. The emergency switch automatically
switches off the engine when detached from the remote control. It is very important that the
boat comes to a halt in the event that 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 it to your arm, do not
steer the boat with that hand, because the lanyard may twist
around the steering wheel.
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 that has fallen overboard. Use an emergency
switch to turn off the engine always when a swimmer or water
skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
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 the 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 of trim angle
The following are the main rules when adjusting the trim angle:
-When bringing the boat to plane, keep the "bow down" position
-When the boat is planing, and in the event that the sea is still, the bow is lifted until
you can feel that both the engine and the boat move very easily. In calm water, the
engine should normally be trimmed up at least 3 scale marks on the trim indicator on
the rev counter If engine is trimmed up too much, the speed of the boat is reduced. If
the boat is trimmed too low, both boat and engine run heavily. To achieve good fuel
economy it is important to drive the boat with the right engine trim angle.
-
In a heavy sea lower the bow to allow it to slice through the waves better, thus
providing a smoother ride.
-In following waves, raise the bow to avoid "diving" into the waves.
