− Wea her condi ions and forecas
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 s abili y
Do not overload the craft, and distribute loads appropriately. Heavy items are to be
placed in the storage compartments under the aft bench. Also note that the boat is less
stable if people stand up when on board.

2Defini ions
The warnings and cautions in this manual are defined as follows:
DANGER Denotes an extreme intrinsic hazard that will result in a high probability
of death or permanent injury if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING Denotes a hazard which can result in injury or death if proper
precautions are not taken.
NOTE Denotes a reminder of safe practices or directs attention to unsafe
practices which could result in personal injury or damage to the craft or
components or the environment.
I system units are used in this manual. In some cases, other units have been added in
brackets. An exception is wind speed, for which the Beaufort scale is used in the
Recreational Craft Directive.
3Warran y
The boat and its factory-installed equipment have a two-year warranty, starting on the first
day of use. Please contact your dealer regarding 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 between different countries. 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 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!

Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 11 (51)
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.

5Charac eris ics and use of your boa
5.1 General
The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual; it simply guides
the user 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)
under the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC. This boat has been
constructed according to design category C , which means the following:
The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 6
Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and for corresponding sea conditions (significant
wave height no more than 2 m). uch conditions may be encountered on
exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather
conditions.
ignificant wave height is the mean height of the highest third of the waves,
which approximately corresponds to the wave height as estimated by an
experienced observer. Individual waves may reach up to twice this height. If
the significant wave height is 2.0 m, the mean height of all waves is roughly 1.2
m.
Maximum recommended load: ee technical specifications

NOTE! If you load the boat from stern to bow, you will have better fuel
economy.

Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 18 (51)
5.4 Loading
The boat’s maximum permitted load is 530 kg. This load includes the following weights:
a) the total weight of passengers, 450 kg (the default weight of an adult is assumed to
be 75 kg and that of a child 37.5 kg);
b) and fluids (fuel) in fixed tanks, 80 kg.
NOTE! The maximum permitted load only includes the weights
mentioned above.
WARNING! When loading he craf , never exceed he maximum
recommended load. 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. Always avoid placing heavy items high up.
5.5 Engine and propeller
The maximum recommended engine power for the boat is 115 hp (85 kW). The construction
of the boat is not designed to bear more power than 115 hp. Manoeuvring the boat can be
very dangerous if the boat has an engine more powerful than 115 hp. The warranty is void if
the boat is used with more power than 115 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 through fittings and closing valves
The boat 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 rainwater drainage closing valve is located under the middle hatch of the aft seat. This
drain valve is meant to be shut only when at maximum load to prevent potential water
incursion. In o her loading condi ions, he drain valve should remain open o le rainwa er
drain from he boa .

The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one bailer or bucket
on the boat and that it has been secured.
WARNING! Always keep the drainpipe shut when its inboard end is constantly
below the waterline due to loading. The shut-off flap on the
transom only prevents water from entering the boat when
reversing!

Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 20 (51)
NOTE! Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the
drainpipe. 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. A small
amount of water may also come through the hull through fittings,
especially as the boat ages. 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. You can
empty out any water through this inspection hatch using a
separate tubular drainage pump (optional accessory). Have any
leaks repaired at an authorised repair shop.
WARNING! The boat’s handling properties may become extremely dangerous
if there is water in the bilge.
WARNING! In rough weather, hatches and drawers should be kept shut to
prevent them filling with water.
5.6.2 tability and buoyancy
Please note that stability is reduced by any weight added high up. Any change in the
distribution of weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of
your craft. Please remember that large breaking waves always present a serious danger to
stability.
The amount of water in the bilge must be kept as low as possible.
The boat’s stability may be impaired during towing, or when passenger are lifting heavy
items.
This craft will carry its passengers even when filled with water.
5.7 Preventing fires and explosion hazards
5.7.1 Refuelling
hut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling,
do not use switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
Always keep a spare can of fuel on board. The anchor boxes at the stern are especially
suitable for storing the spare canister. There is no risk of vaporised fuel coming into contact
with battery compartments or the electrical system from either of these boxes.
