General Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Marine Revolution Smartwave boat. This manual has been compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft; the equipment supplied or fitted systems and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.
If this is your first craft, or 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, national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of local sea schools or competent instructors.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER WHEN YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Please pay particular attention to the corresponding section in this manual and around the craft.
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid
damage to the boat, engine or crew.
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death
to the boat operator, crew or bystander.
Safe Boat Handling;
Always wear an approved life jacket.
Do not operate this craft at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or in weather and sea conditions of reduced visibility, high winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake as a courtesy and as a safety consideration to yourself and others. Observe and obey speed limit and No Wake Zones.
Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG
Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid collisions
Ensure the crew and load is distributed throughout the boat evenly to maintain safe operational trim.
Note:
a) Operator vision from the helm may be obstructed by high trim angles of the craft and other factors caused by one or more of the following variable conditions:
1) propulsion unit trim angles (on craft equipped with a power trim system on the propulsion unit);
2) hull trim plane angles (on craft equipped with power operated trim planes or trim tabs on the transom);
3) loading and load distribution;

4) speed;
5) rapid acceleration;
6) transition from displacement to planing mode;
7) sea conditions;
8) rain and spray;
9) darkness and fog;
10) interior lights;
11) position of tops and curtains;
12) persons or movable gear in the operator’s field of vision. b) The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG) and the rules of the road require that a proper lookout be maintained at all times and observance of right of way be respected. Observance of these rules is essential.
Boat Loading and Trim
It is imperative the operator uses common sense when loading the boat/seating crew to achieve a safe and level trim. The positioning of the seats and capacity does not imply in any way that is safe to use the seating provided in every instance. Particular care should be taken when positioning weight at the stern or bow of the boat is this may lead to swamping or dangerous handling characteristics.
Man-overboard Prevention and Recovery (BS EN ISO 15085)
Re entry at the stern of the boat is recommended if the vessel is in the swamped condition
NOTE:
This boat does not require any specific device to re-board, due to its characteristics. The boat, in light craft condition according to ISO 8666, has a minimum freeboard less than 500 mm, so needs only one handhold, suitably located to allow re-boarding, with consideration of the boat's stability.
The recommended re-boarding method was demonstrated during the stability tests. Pictures are below:
Drink and drugs
Be sensible about drinking alcohol, as it will impair your judgement. Consider it as irresponsible for a skipper and crew to be in charge of a powerboat under the influence of alcohol as it is for the driver of a car. Beware of the side effects of any medication which may impair judgement and reduce the effectiveness of the person concerned.

Environmental considerations
Polyethylene thermoplastic is fully recyclable, an important feature in a world where we are conscious of our impact on the environment Safe handling practices should be observed when handling fuel, oil and cleaning agents to avoid contaminating the environment. Remember, that wake and wash produced by your craft can cause erosion to shore lines. Always observe the speed limits in restricted areas. During refueling or re oiling operations on or off the water, please avoid any spillage, and ensure that nothing is discharged into the water or drains
Boat Design
The rotationally moulded virgin grade polyethylene construction of this craft is extremely strong, it will not rot, rust, corrode or split. It is temperature stable and UV stabilized. The Hull is manufactured as one piece and twin skinned. Polyurethane buoyancy foam is injected between the hull skins to provide buoyancy in the swamped condition.
Design Category
Category C INSHORE:
Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m may be experienced.
Or
Catergory D SHELTERED WATERS:
Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, with occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.
