CO Exposure
All boat engines produce CO as exhaust. This is
an extremely noxious and dangerous gas. It is
almost impossible to detect as it is odourless and
colourless.
Early signs of exposure to CO are redness,
dizziness and nausea. Extended exposure to CO
could result in brain damage or death.
In order to prevent exposure to CO, it is essenal
you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure there are no obstrucons to the
engine exhaust - these could be moorings,
other cra etc.
• While operang at slow speeds, possibly with
the bow high, make sure the exhaust is not
blowing into the boat, but away from the boat.
• When using canvas tops or hoods on your cra,
make sure that you have plenty of venlaon
for exhaust fumes.
Windows and hatches
Keep all windows/hatches etc. closed at high
speeds and in rough weather, to avoid risk of injury/
damage.
General operaon of cra
Please observe the following with regard to the
powering and manoeuvring limitaons of your
cra:
• Do not operate this cra with an engine of
rated power larger than that displayed on the
capacity label in your cra.
• Do not operate this cra at negave pro-
pulsion unit trim sengs (bow down) at high
speeds as the cra may lean over on the side
resulng in instability. Use negave trim to
accelerate to planing speed from displacement
speed and at lower planing speeds in rough
waters.
• Do not operate your cra at maximum speed
while in congested waterways or in rough
weather and sea condions or condions of
reduced visibility.
• Observe right of way at sea as dened by
internaonal regulaons.
• Always maintain sucient stopping distance
or distance to manoeuvre if required to avoid
collision.
Engine well and tilting the engine
Before lng the engine up from the water, you
have to raise and slide the hatch covering the
engine well.
You raise the hatch over the engine well
manually by liing up the hatch and
slide a bench away from engine well.
Press and hold down the trim buon the control
box or engine unl the engine is in the required
posion.
