INTRODUCTION
General introduction for the Marine boats owner's manual
This manual has been compiled to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It
contains details of the craft; the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information on
their operation. Please read it carefully, and familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
This owner's manual is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first craft,
or if you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and
safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming
command” of the craft. Your dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased
to advise you of local sea schools, or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design category of
your craft, and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions.
Even when your boat is categorized for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to the
design categories A, B and C range from severe storm conditions for category A, to strong
conditions for the top of category C, open to the hazards of a freak wave or gust. These are
therefore dangerous conditions, where only a competent, fit and trained crew using a well
maintained craft can satisfactorily operate.
This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble-shooting guide. In the case of
difficulty, refer to the boat builder or his representative. If a maintenance manual is provided,
use it for the craft's maintenance.
Always use trained and competent people for maintenance, fixing or modifications.
Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed
and documented by competent people. The boat builder cannot be held responsible for
modifications that he has not approved.
In some countries, a driving licence or authorization is required, or specific regulations are in
force.
Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur in
time and as a result of heavy use or misuse of the craft.
Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly. This
is not compatible with safe boating. Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea
conditions.
If your craft is fitted with a liferaft, carefully read its operating manual. The craft should have
onboard the appropriate safety equipment (lifejackets, harness, etc.) according to the type of
craft, weather conditions, etc. This equipment is mandatory in some countries. The crew should
be familiar with the use of all safety equipment and emergency manoeuvring (man overboard
recovery, towing, etc.), sailing schools and clubs regularly organize drill sessions.
All persons should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal floatation device) when on
deck. Note that, in some countries, it is a legal requirement to wear a buoyancy aid that
complies with their national regulations at all times.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER
WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
INTRODUCTION

WARNING!
When loading, do not exceed the highest allowed capacity. Load the
watercraft very carefully and keep about structural list. Avoid placing
heavy weights on top of the boat.
SAFETY
SECTION 1.
SAFETY
The freedom of boating is a magnificent feeling. However, fun can be overtaken by disaster if
you ignore safety precautions. This book presents basic guidelines, but it cannot describe every
possible risk you may encounter. You are strongly urged to:
Take a boating safety course and get hands-on training from your boat dealer.
Regularly review safety requirements.
Maintain your boat and its systems.
Have your boat inspected at least annually by a qualified mechanic or dealer.
EXPLANATION OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This book contains safety precautions which must be observed when operating or servicing your
boat. Review and understand these instructions.
FIRE
Fire is always serious, but it usually can be brought under control if you are
prepared and act quickly. Extinguishers required by the boating law are only the
minimum needed. Install fire extinguishers where they might be needed, and test
equipment and emergency plans regularly.
Prevention is the safest method of fighting fire. Remember:
Use extreme caution and refrain from smoking while fueling.
Open flames demand constant attention.
Keep flammable material containers in a locker sealed from the interior of the boat and
vented overboard.
Remove canvas before starting engine.
Ensure fuel does not leak. Regularly inspect all fuel systems including LPG/CNG.
Extinguish smoking material carefully.
Use special care with flames or high temperatures near urethane foam, if used.
Check cleaning products for flammability.
Ventilate when cleaning or painting.
Disconnect electrical system from its power source before performing maintenance.
(See Systems - Electrical.)
Observe the boat carefully while the electrical system is energized.
Only a qualified marine electrical technician may service the boat´s electrical system.
FLOODING, SWAMPING
Flooding or swamping can be caused by many factors. Operator disregard for hazardous
weather and water conditions is one of the most common causes, along with improper loading,
handling and anchoring. Be aware of the possible consequences of your actions. Have everyone
wear a personal flotation device when boating. STAY WITH THE BOAT!
Remember:
Certification plate states maximum weight/number of persons the boat will handle
safely under normal conditions. Give yourself an extra margin in rough water. (See
Safety - Load Capacity.)
Install drain plugs before launching.
Ensure proper bilge pump operation.
Anchor from bow if using only one anchor.
SAFETY
10
Match speed to water conditions.
Adjust trim and close openings in rough waters.
Reverse engine only when headway slows to prevent following sea from swamping
boat.
Operate boat within maneuvering speed limitations.
LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT
Wear a personal flotation device (PFD) when boating. Boat operators are required to carry one
wearable personal flotation device (Type I, II, III or V) for every person on board. Boats must
also have at least one throw able device (Type IV). Classifications of PFDs are:
Off-Shore Life Jacket (Type I) - most buyoant, it is designed to turn an unconscious
person face up; used in all types of waters where rescue may be slow.
Near-Shore Life Vest (Type II) - "keyhole" vest with flotation-filled head and neck
support is also designed to turn a person face up, but the turning action is not as
pronounced; used in calm, inland waters or where quick rescue is likely.
Flotation Aid (Type III) – vest is designed so conscious wearers can turn face up; often
designed for comfort while engaged in sports such as skiing.
Throw able Devices (Type IV) – horseshoe buoys, ring buoys, and buyoant cushions are
designed to be grasped, not worn.
Special-Use Devices (Type V) – sailboat harnesses, white-water vests, float coats, and
hybrid vests.
When purchasing PFDs, look for a tag saying they are approved by the national boating law.
Children and non-swimmers must wear PDFs at all times when aboard. All passengers and crew
should wear them, since an unworn PDF is often useless in an emergency. The law requires
that PDFs, if worn, must be readily accessible, that is, removed from storage bags and
unbuckled. Throw able devices must be readily available, that is, right at hand. The operator is
responsible for instructing everyone at their location and use.
Size PDFs to the wearer. Children require special attention.
Dry before storage. Test PDF buoyancy at least once a year.
IMPAIRED OPERATION
WARNING!
CONTROL HAZARD - Boating laws prohibit operating a boat under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. These laws are vigorously enforced.
Give special attention to the effects of alcohol and drugs while boating. No other single factor
causes so many marine accident sand deaths. Wind, waves and sun heighten the effects of
alcohol and drugs, so your reactions may be quickly impaired.
LOAD CAPACITY
ISO international directives require certification plate stating the maximum number of
persons and the maximum weight the boat will handle safely under normal conditions
on boats up to 24 meters (78,7 feet).
Certification plate is attached to the hull near the helm or transom.
Overloading violates regulations. Do not carry more weight or passengers than indicated
on the certification plate.
The number of seats is not necessarily an indication of the number of persons a boat
can carry safely.
SAFETY
11
When boating on plane (above idle speed), carry no more passengers than there are
real seats, and insist that passengers sit down in those seats.
The presence of the certification plate does not relieve the owner/operator from
responsibility or using common sense and a sound judgement.
Overloading, improper loading and distribution of weight are significant causes of
accidents. Give yourself an extra margin of safety in rough waters.
POWER CAPACITY
Do not exceed the maximum engine power rating stated on the certification plate attached to
your boat. By exceeding the power capacity you lose the boat guarantee putting the boat and
the crew in danger!
ENGINE WEIGHT
Do not exceed the maximum engine weight stated on the certification plate attached to your
boat or in this manual. By exceeding the engine weight you lose the boat guarantee putting the
boat and the crew in danger!
STABILITY
The manufacturer may provide a statement with the owner´s information packet
indicating the stability and flotation standards for your boat.
Stability may be reduced if equipment is added to the superstructure.
Stability is substantially reduced by loose fluids or weight within the hull. Keep bilge as
dry as possible and close openings in rough waters.
WARNING LABELS
Watercraft label
– part of information is on the label which is fixed on the watercraft.
Warning labels are fixed on the main places. They set instructions about safety rules for boat
using and maintaining. Do not remove or hide labels. Change unreadable labels. In the
customer pack you can find supply numbers with conditions of ordering.
WEATHER
Learn to understand weather patterns and signs of change. Bad weather and water conditions
can cause a discomfort and unsafe situation. Here are a few basic weather-related conditions:
Check the forecast and water conditions before leaving and while underway.
A sudden change in wind direction or speed or an increase in wave height indicates
deteriorating weather.
Wear a personal flotation device.
If a storm approaches, immediately seek a safe harbor.
If a storm hits, head the bow of your boat into the wind.
If you encounter fog, determine your position, set a safe course, slow down and alert
other boats of your presence with a sound signal.
The best lightning protection is a properly grounded lightning rod that is high enough
to provide a protective umbrella over the hull. Stay clear of the rod and all attached
wiring. See your dealer for more information.
SAFETY
12
ACCIDENT REPORT
Boating authorities and state agencies require a report to be filled by the operator of a boat
involved in an accident involving loss of life, disappearance, injury requiring treatment beyond
first aid, loss of boat or property damage exceeding certain limits. Contact the boating
authorities or state agencies for a copy of state´s accident report form. Other countries have
other reporting requirements. Consult your nation´s boating law enforcement agency or
authority.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
A wise boater will include many of the following items:
Visual distress signals for day and night use (required in some areas; consult local
regulations)
Marine radiotelephone
Compass
Depth sounder
Charts
Spare keys
Emergency position-indicating radio beam
Portable radio with weather band
Waterproof flashlight
Batteries
Mooring lines
Fenders
Extra propeller
Ground tackle (at least 2 anchors, rode, anchor shackles, anchor chain)

CONSIDERATION TO ENVIRONMENT
Right usage of the boat starts by you
With your boat, you can appear variety of the nautical environment. Help to save this beauty
too. Only in intact environment you can enjoy watersports. Everyone has responsibility for
preservation this environment like the cleanest and the healthiest for our life and free time.
Respect our environment and keep rules as follows:
KEEP OFF STRONG STROKES OF WAVES.
KEEP SUFFICIENT DISTANCE FROM BATHING PLACES.
RESPECT THE WORLD OF FAUNA. Keep far distance from animals and do
not disturb them.
USE ECOLOGY ANTIFOULINGS COLOURS AND CLEANERS ONLY.
WARNING! DO NOT OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK: exceedingly quantity
goes to the water.
KEEP OFF EXCEEDINGLY NOISE. Especially near animal shelters and
housing area.
DO NOT EMIT OIL OR FUEL TO WATER. Almost everywhere it is illegal
because it makes ecology damage and injures fauna and animal life.
DO NOT LET any rubbish. Rubbishes must not into the water. Garner
them and liquidate it at home.
KEEP OFF EXCESSIVE WAVES BEHIND THE STERN. Waves can damage
the coast and can cause problems for other boats. Wave on the stern
which strike to beach or coast can cause or speed up the erosion and
damage environment.
Everyone has responsibility for health environment and for every next clean day.
If everyone will keep these rules, we can preserve natural resources for next generation.
PRODUCT TERMINATION/LIQUIDATION
Marine boats are made of 100% recycled material – aluminium alloy. After the end of
service life of the boat please transport the boat to iron waste point.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The time to think about emergencies is before they happen. Plan ahead. Know what to do
before you encounter any of these situations. Wear a PFD when boating.
WARNING !
Danger of explosion/fire/asphyxiation:
Liquid fuel can light on fire and cause severe burns.
Use the fuel according to the type of the machine.
Danger of fire/asphyxiation – manipulate with flames or high temperatures with caution
especially near any foam (if it is on your boat). Foam could get on fire from burning,
welding, lighting, cigarettes, heaters etc. Once it caughts fire it burns very quickly, creates
high temperature, dangerous emissions and consumes lot of oxygen.
EXPLOSION
In case of possible explosion, immediately put on your PFD, grab distress signalization
and abandon the ship.
FIRE
Turn off engines. Extinguish objects on fire.
If you have access to fire, direct contents of extinguishers at base of flames, not at the top.
Threw burning materials overboard if possible
Move anyone not needed for firefighting operations away from the flames.
Signal for help.
Put on Pres, grab mistress signals and survival gear, and prepare to abandon ship.
ABANDONING SHIP
WARNING!
BURN HAZARD – Swim against the current of wind if you abandon ship. Leaking fuel will float
with the current and may ignite.
When clear of danger account for all who were on board, and help those in need.
Use distress signals.
Keep everyone together to make rescue easier.
FLOODING, SWAMPING OR CAPSIZING
STAY WITH THE BOAT! A boat will usually float even if there is major hull damage.
Rescuers can spot a boat much easier than a head bobbing in water.
Signal for help.
TURNING OVER OF CAPSIZED CRAFT (ONLY FOR 10M, 10 JON
AND 12 JON)
Place one foot on the side of the boat.
Climb over the boat’s keel and grab the other side of the boat with hands.
Push down with your foot along with pulling up with hands to turn the boat.
Get into the turned craft, sit in the centre of gravity and pour the water out with a bucket.
In case that two people are in the water, only one of them is turning the boat, the latter is
holding on the boat’s bow increasing its stability. Only one pours out the water. Before boarding
the second person, all water has to be poured out. When the second person is boarding the

craft from water, make sure the person already in the boat moves to the other side of boat to
increase its stability.
COLLISION
Account for everyone on board.
Check for injuries.
Inspect structural damage.
Reduce flooding.
Signal for help
STAY WITH THE BOAT!
GROUNDING
Action depends on how hard the boat hits the bottom and whether the boat remains stranded. I
fit is a simple touch, you may need only to inspect the hull. If you are aground, assess the
situation before reacting. In some CASE, throwing the boat into reverse can cause more
damage.
Basic Guidelines:
Inspect damage to the hull, propulsion and steering systems.
Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stopping the flow takes priority over getting free.
Determine water depth all around the boat and type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.).
This will help you decide which way to move the boat.
Determine if tide, wind or current will drive the boat harder aground or will help free it.
LEAKS
Immediately switch on bilge pumps. If the boat is not equipped with bilge pumps,
immediately start pouring out water with a bucket or a bailer.
WARNING!
Owner or operator is obliged to ensure, that there is a secured bucket or a bailer on the boat,
so it could not be lost.
Check extent of leaks.
If the boat is taking on water, have someone take the helm while you manager damage
control.
Slow or stop to minimize inflow. However, if you can keep a hole above water by
maintaining speed, do so.
If possible, patch the outsider with whatever material is available.
