LEVEL at all cruising speeds. The bow should not point UPWARDS and not
DOWNWARDS to the water.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
• If the outboard motor is angled too far away from the mirror, the boat will be
driven with the bow raised.
• If the outboard motor is angled too close to the mirror, the bow is driven too deep
into the water, resulting in a loss of cruising speed and/or cavitation.
• Check the motor mounting screws regularly. A loose engine screw connection
leads to erratic engine operation and can even lead to the loss of the engine
overboard.
• Read the engine's operating instructions carefully before commissioning.
• Check that the cargo on board does not rub against the skin of the boat or
puncture it.
Turning the boat
Reduce the driving speed during sharp turns. The boat tilts considerably to the inside of
the turning circle.
DANGERS
Air chamber defect
Your KESSER inflatable boat is equipped with more than one air chamber. For this reason,
the boat maintains at least 50% of its buoyancy when an air chamber is punted and air
escapes. Shift the weight to the other side. Seal the leaking chamber if necessary (by
setting or holding up) and immediately set course towards land or mothership
(whichever is closer). However, pay special attention to shoals or reefs, as these can
cause scratches on the boat and lead to further damage.
Landing (Stranding)
DO NOT put the boat on the beach under motor power, pull over rocks, sand, gravel or
shore paving, as this can damage the boat skin.
Sunlight
The boat should not be exposed to sunlight for a long period of time. Changing the air
pressure in the hoses can damage the boat. Excessive exposure to the sun (ultraviolet
rays) over a longer period of time can accelerate the aging of the material. Protect and
cover the boat from direct sunlight. In addition, the use of a boat cover, Persenning is
recommended to avoid e.B. deposits of exhaust gases (soot).
