BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual.
Always check at least the following items before lea ing:
−
−−
− Weather conditions and forecast
Take the wind, wa es and isibility 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
hea y wind and rough seas to pre ent water incursion.
−
−−
− Loading and stability
Do not o erload the craft, and distribute loads appropriately. Hea y items are to be placed
in the storage compartments underneath the aft bench. Please consider that the stability
of the boat is reduced if people stand up when on board.
−
−−
− Passengers
Ensure that there are personal flotation de ices or lifejackets for all people on board.
Agree on crew tasks before setting off.
−
−−
− F el and f el system
Make sure that the boat has enough fuel, including reser e fuel for e.g. hea y weather.
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 ha e at least 20% fuel left in the tank at the end of your trip. 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 manoe vring eq ipment
Check the function and condition of steering and remote control, and carry out routine
checks according to the engine manual.
−
−−
− Seaworthiness
Check the boat’s seaworthiness: there are no fuel or water leaks, safety equipment must
be a ailable on board etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge.
−
−−
− Fastening of eq ipment
Check that all onboard items are positioned so that they are held in place also during rough
seas and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly o er board if they are
not fixed properly with press studs.
−
−−
− Na tical charts
If you are not na igating in completely familiar waters, ensure you ha e nautical charts on
board that co er a large enough area! If your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, learn
to use 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 tangle in the propeller during manoeu ring.
−
−−
− Obligatory eq ipment
What is considered obligatory equipment aries from country to country. Find out what
is required for your boat.

5 Characteristics and se of yo r boat
5.1 General
The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete ser ice or repair manual, but to guide the
user in using 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 recreational craft directi e 94/25/EC. The Yamarin Cross 53 BR is
designed 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 corresponding seas (significant wa e height at
most 2 metres). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland
waters, in estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Significant wa e height is the mean height of the highest third of the wa es,
which approximately corresponds to the wa e height as estimated by an
experienced obser er. Indi idual wa es may reach up to twice this height. If
the significant wa e height is 2.0 m, the mean height of all wa es is roughly 1.2
m.
Maxim m recommended load: See technical specifications
Please also refer to section 5.4 “Loading”.
Main dimensions and capacities: See technical specifications
Craft length, width, draught, total weight etc. as well as tank capacities are
shown in the technical specifications.

Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider 15 (40)
WARNING! Never exceed the maxim m recommended load when loading
the craft. Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads
appropriately so that the boat is on an e en keel. Hea y
equipment should usually be placed in the storage compartment
under the aft seat. Always a oid placing hea y items high up.
5.5 Engine and propeller
The maximum recommended engine power for the Yamarin Cross 53 BR is 70 hp (52 kW).
The construction of the boat is not designed to bear more power than 70 hp. Manoeu ering
the boat can be ery dangerous if the boat has an engine bigger than 70 hp. The warranty is
not alid if the boat is used with more power than 70 hp. Follow the dealer’s instructions
when choosing the propeller for your craft.
5.6 Pre ention of water incursion and stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck thru fittings and closing al es
The Yamarin Cross 53 BR 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, pro ided that the bow is higher than the stern and
closing al e is open.
The rainwater drainage closing al e is located under the middle hatch of the aft seat. This
drain al e is meant to be shut only when at maximum load to pre ent potential water
incursion. In other loading conditions the drain valve sho ld remain open to let rainwater
drain from the boat.
The boat has a hand-operated bilge pump shown in the picture below. The hand-operated
bilge pump has a capacity of about 0,5 l/pull.

Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider 16 (40)
1. Hand-operated bilge pump
2. Rain water drainage al e
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 leak caused
by running aground or other equi alent damage (hull damage).
PRECAUTION! Regularly check to ensure that there is no debris at the end of the
suction hose of the hand-operated bilge pump.
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 pre ents water from entering the boat when
re ersing!
1. The shut-off flap
2. Bilge compartment drain plug
3. Rain water drainage al e

Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider 17 (40)
NOTE! Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the
drainpipe. Debris like autumn lea es 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. A
small amount of water may also come through the hull bushings,
especially as the boat ages. Always remember to check the bilge,
ia the inspection hatch under the aft seat, before you lea e the
boat at quay or buoy and always before setting off. Ha e possible
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, the hatches and drawers should be kept shut to
pre ent them filling with water.
WARNING! There is a storage compartment under the boat's floor. Its hatch
and latches must be kept closed to pre ent it filling with water.
Regularly check the storage compartment for 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 weight on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance
of your craft. Please remember that large breaking wa es 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 passengers are lifting hea y
items.
The Yamarin Cross 53 BR will carry its passengers also when filled with water.
5.7 A oiding the risk of fire or 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.

Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider 18 (40)
Always keep a spare can of fuel on board. The anchor box at the stern is especially suitable
for storing the spare canister. 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 the aft seat that, if mo ed, could pre ent fuel flow to the
engine. This is particularly important for items that may press against hoses or the fuel filter.
Check annually that the fuel hoses are not worn, especially 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.
WARNING! Gasified fuel is highly explosi e. Obser e these instructions and the utmost
caution during refuelling. The smell of fuel always means that there is gasified
fuel on your boat.
5.7.2 Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A 68 B, which is the
minimum power requirement for extinguishers. The boat must always ha e an appro ed and
inspected extinguisher during use. The fire extinguisher must be inspected annually by an
authorised inspector to ensure its functioning. In the e ent that the fire extinguisher is
replaced, the capacity of the new one must be at least equi alent to the old.
Location of portable fire extinguisher in the Yamarin Cross 53 BR:
Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible e en when the boat is loaded.
Inform members of the crew about the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment.
Remember:
-ne er block passages to exits and hatches;

Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider 19 (40)
