boat’s fixed tank.
WARNING: When loading your boat, never exceed the recommended

even keel). Avoid storing heavy weights at too high an
elevation.

5.6 Preventing water from getting on board and
stability
5.6.1 Hull and deck openings
The location of deck openings and their respective plugs are shown in Diagram 2.
The Buster Lx has an outlet for draining rain water from the cockpit. This outlet is
meant to be plugged if you observe water flowing back into the cockpit through the
drain outlets when the boat is loaded. In other situations, the drain outlets should be
kept open and regularly cleared to prevent them from getting blocked with debris.
The boat has a drain plug in the aft section that is screwed to the lower corner of the
transom, through which the boat can be drained when docked or loaded on a trailer.
