Observation of local shipping regulations
For each particular water area the local shipping regulations
are in force. You may apply for information to the appropriate
water transport and shipping directorate, as well as to the
water police.
Proper usage of boat equipment and accessories
Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct
purpose to ensure reliable service.
Availability of Oars
Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should
always have the oars available with you so that you were able
to reach the shore without outside assistance in case of any
damage to the boat.
Usage of emergency stop switch
On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your
engine with the emergency stop switch. During navigation the
switch should be connected to the wrist of your hand by
means of a cord. In case you fall overboard, even if being a
steersman, the switch will cut out the engine and the propeller.
This arrangement will enable you to avoid any traumas and to
reach the boat.
Prevention of damages caused by electrolyte or
fuel leakages
Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel or
electrolyte from the storage battery into the inflatable boat. If
it does happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.
Cargo arrangement and stowing, attachment of
items and prevention of falling overboard
You should be always sure that the number of people on
board never exceeds that specified in the user's manual or
on the manufacturer's plate provided on the transom. The boat
will retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only
provided that the load is arranged reasonably. Therefore,do
not accommodate all passengers on the same side of theboat.
Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all
items being reliable secured on the bottom of the boat. All
passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The
occupied seats should not be left throughout the entire
sail ing time. When sailing with an outboard engine the
steersman should shift his body forward in the course of
accelerationto preventthe boat forebodyfromraisingunder
the force of upthrust waves.
