TRANSPORTING THE BOAT ON A TRAILER
Your inflatable boat can be transported on a trailer. Fasten the boat by
means of soft and wide straps. Prevent the tube from being damaged by
inserting some protection between straps and fabric.
If the boat cover is installed, make sure it is well fastened to avoid any
damage. During long trips, stop and check regularly.
NOTE. Adjust the trailer supports to your boat size. Otherwise the inflatable
boat will be seriously damaged. Consult your dealer for further information
and suggestions.

DANGER
Read the trailer instruction manual, with special attention to the trailer maximum
speed and the trailer fastening devices for the inflatable boat. During long trips,
check regularly the condition of tire, fastening lines and straps.
DANGER
DO NOT ever use elastic ropes or straps to fasten the inflatable boat.
Boat performance and trim during navigation
The boat is designed to accelerate rapidly, with a rapid stern-heavy hull
planing time.
To plane the boat easily and rapidly, just trim the stern engine by turning it
completely inwards. Indeed, when the boat is horizontal, the stern engine
should be trimmed slightly outwards to avoid an excessive draft which may
cause “bow steering” and excessive fuel consumption. In case of diagonal
waves, the turn could be sharper than expected.
Please also remember that a proper load distribution ensures a good trim
and, consequently, a good navigation performance.

STEERING
STERN
STEERING
DANGER
An improper boat angle may cause “bow steering”, which means that the
bow is too high. This condition is dangerous mainly when high waves are
taken over the bow and because of the instability entailed. The best
solution is to distribute the loads and to position the outboard engine
properly.
