WARNING! Large waves or gusts of wind may slam the door shut also when
the boat is stationary. It is thus recommended to always keep the
door closed when the passage through the bow deck is not being
used.
5.9.10 Stairs, sharp windshield corner and cabin door
Great care must be taken when using the stairs, particularly when the cabin door is partly
open.
WARNING! The bow anchor box hatch is equipped with a rubber band that
holds the hatch closed while driving.
WARNING! It is not recommended that children do not use the hatch, as their
fingers or toes could get caught in it.
Proper use – other recommendations and guidelines
5.10.1 Man overboard
It is always a serious situation when someone falls overboard. Rescue procedures should be
practised in advance during good weather, because it is too late for practice when someone
has actually fallen into the water.
It is always easiest to help a person climb back on board at the stern of the boat. A rope loop
attached to the boat helps lifting. The boat’s swim ladder extends 30 cm into the water. If a
child has fallen overboard, an adult carrying an extra life-saving device or a fender must
always jump in after the child; however, someone must always remain on board the boat.
It is very important to maintain visual and verbal contact with a person that has fallen
overboard.
DANGER! A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a
swimmer or a person who has fallen overboard. Always use the
emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or
water skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
Potential life-raft, the recommended location is under the back seat
5.10.2 Securing loose equipment
Stow all heavy equipment, such as anchors, and secure them firmly before setting off.
