Preface
Congratulations on your new Finnish XO boat! We want
to thank you for choosing XO and we hope you enjoy the
time you spend aboard.
The purpose of this manual is to help you operate your
boat with safety and pleasure. The manual contains the
details of the boat and the associated or installed equipment and systems, as well as information on its operation and maintenance.
Please read the manual carefully and familiarize yourself
with the boat before using it. Naturally, you cannot learn
the skills of seamanship and safe boating by reading a
User Manual.
If this XO is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type
of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort
and safety please ensure that you obtain handling and
operating experience before assuming command of
your boat. Your dealer, boating clubs and national sailing
and yacht federations will be pleased to advise you of
local boating schools and competent instructors.
Make sure that your boat’s design category is appropriate for the expected wind and wave conditions and
that you and your crew are capable of handling the
boat in such conditions. The wind and wave conditions
specified for design category C may include gales and
high winds, with risk of exceptional waves and gusts.
Such conditions are dangerous and can be suciently
handled only by a competent and fit crew in a well-maintained boat. This User Manual is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. If a problem occurs,
please contact your XO dealer. If a repair is required, use
only the companies recommended by your XO dealer.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT
OVER TO THE NEXT OWNER IF YOU SELL THIS BOAT.

The purpose of this User Manual is to help you familiarize yourself with the characteristics of your new boat.
Separate manuals for the equipment installed on the
boat are attached and also referred to in a number of
sections of this manual. Naturally, you can complement
this manual with manuals of any device installed later
on. There is also space reserved for your own notes at
the end of this manual. The units used in this manual
are in accordance with the SI system. In some cases,
however, other units are added in brackets. An exception
to the above is the wind force, which is expressed in the
Beaufort scale in the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD).
In this User Manual the right side of the hull is called/
abbreviated STB and the left side is called Port.

minimum age and also possibly have a separate boat
driver’s license.
3.1.2 Insurance
Boat insurance can cover for damage when the boat is
in use, transported or stored. Remember to check the
insurance coverage separately for lifting operations.
Insurance also has an indirect eect on safety at sea:
in the event of a serious accident, you can focus fully on
the essential – saving lives above all else. More detailed
information on various insurance alternatives is available from insurance companies.
3.1.3 Training
There is a lot of boating literature available, and a great
deal of beneficial and practical information can also be
gained from boating clubs and by attending navigation courses. These can provide a sound basis for your
skills, but sureness in handling, navigating, mooring and
an-choring the boat is only acquired through practice.

This User Manual is not intended to be a comprehensive maintenance guide or repair manual. Instead, the
purpose is to help you familiarize yourself with the characteristics of your new boat and show you how to use it
properly.
4.1 PRINCIPAL BOAT DATA
Principal boat data includes the following:
Boat type: XO 360 RS
Design category: B
Maximum recommended load: 1860 kg
See also sections ”Load capacity”
Category A:
This boat is designed for conditions in which the wind
force can exceed 8 on the Beaufort scale and the significant wave height may exceed 4 m. (see NOTE! 1), and the
boat is mostly independent. Extreme climate conditions
are not taken into account. Such conditions can occur in
long distances, for example when crossing an ocean, or
in the proximity of a shore that is unprotected from wind
and waves for a distance of hundreds of nautical miles
Category B:
This boat is designed for conditions in which the wind
force is no higher than 8 on the Beaufort scale and the
waves are consistent with the wind force (the significant wave height 4 m at the most). Such conditions may
occur in long distances at open sea, or in the proximity
of a shore that is unprotected from wind and waves for
a distance of dozens of nautical miles. Such conditions
may also occur in freshwater in case of an area large
enough for the forming of waves of this size.
Category C:
The boat is designed for conditions in which the wind
force does not exceed 6 on the Beaufort scale (about 14
m/s) and waves are consistent with the wind force (the
significant wave height must not exceed 2 m, with occasional waves of 4 m maximum). Such conditions can
occur in open water on lakes, estuaries, and in coastal
waters in moderate weather.
Category D:
The boat is designed for conditions in which the wind
force does not exceed 4 on the Beaufort scale and
waves are consistent with the wind force (the significant
wave height must not exceed 0,5 m)
Such conditions can occur in freshwater and in coastal
waters in decent weather.
4 BOAT CHARACTERISTICS

4.2 MAIN DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITY
The length, beam, draught, total weight, etc., and fuel
tank capacity of the boat are described in Appendix 1
‘Technical specifications’.
4.2.1 Builder’s plate
Maximum recommended number of persons
The maximum recommended number of persons on
this boat is 10. The designated seating arrangement is
shown in Figure 1. Part of the above information is indicated on the builder’s plate attached to the boat in the
vicinity of the helm station. More detailed information is
given in the appropriate sections of this manual. Please
note that, for example, the maximum load capacity indicated on the builder’s plate does not include fuel, but
the fuel is included in the maximum recommended load
specified by the manufacturer.
NOTE !
The significant wave height is the average height of
the highest third of the waves. This roughly corresponds to an experienced observer’s estimate of the
wave height. Waves of double this height may occasionally be experienced.
WARNING !
Never exceed the maximum recommended load when
loading your boat. Always load up the boat carefully
and distribute the load properly so that the designed
waterline is maintained (approximately on an even
keel). Avoid placing heavy weight in a high position.
WARNING !
Do not exceed the maximum recommended number
of persons on board. Irrespective of the number of
persons on board, the total weight of the persons and
equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load (see sections ’’Load capacity’’) . Always
use the seats in the boat. If your boat is not equipped
with seats for 10 people, the passenger must sit on
the sole in the positions indicated in the figures 1.

fluid in the tank reduces the load the boat can carry.
13
4.2.3 Engine and propeller
The maximum rated engine power is 2 x 270 kW (740
hp). When starting the engine, check that the cooling
water flows properly and make sure that the gear is in
the neutral position. If the engine starts when the gear is
not in neutral, contact your nearest service centre.
4.3 DRAINING SYSTEMS
Self-draining system type in your craft is so called
self-draining deck for rain water and splashing or from
breaking waves.
Your craft aren´t equipped and installed with separate draining holes or sea-cocks. Boat is desgined with
draining systems for the purpose of draining the craft
during normal driving and docking conditions.
4.4 BILGE PUMPS AND DRAINAGE
The boat is equipped with three bilge pumps. The aft of
the boat has one electric and one hand-operated bilge
pump, and the fore of the boat has one electric bilge
pump.
The location of draining devices is shown in Figure . The
bilge pumps are positioned as close to the bottom plate
as is practically possible. Despite this, it is completely
normal that a small amount of water remains in them
bilge so that it cannot be discharged by the bilge pump.
NOTE !
The self-emptying open space is meant for the
removal of such water that ends up on the deck
through rain, splashing or from breaking waves. A part
of the rain water as well as water condensation in the
bilge may end up in the bilge.
Do not leave the boat unattended in the water for a
long time. Observe the floating position of the boat
and empty the bilge when necessary. Leaving the
boat unattended in the water for a long time may
cause damage.
14
The electric bilge pump (1) in the aft of the boat is positioned in the fore part of the engine compartment in the
middle of the boat
The fore bilge pump (2) is positioned in the technical
space and can be accessed by opening the service
hatch under the helmsman’s position. The electric bilge
pumps are equipped with a float which triggers them
automatically if there is water in the bilge space. The
electric pumps have direct supply switches, which allow
the pump to come on even if the power is switched o in
the boat. The pumps can also be used manually via the
switches (3) on the switchboard.
The boat’s bilge pumps are equipped with an indicator
light that notifies the helmsman if any water has
accumulated in the bilge. The light is connected to the
bilge pump, which ensures that it comes on when the
pump switches itself on.
The indicator light is positioned in the steering console’s
switchboard.
The manual bilge pump (4) is meant to be used in case
the electric bilge pump is out of use. The pump can be
operated by opening the lid and attaching the separate
handle located next to the pump to the bilge pump.
Regularly check all bilge pump inlet and remove any
debris.
NOTE !
Regularly check the operation of the bilge pump. If you
notice that the bilge pump does not operate properly,
remove any debris from the pump inlet and contact
your XO dealer if necessary
NOTE !
Check the amount of bilge water by emptying the
bilge manually with the spring-loaded switch located
on the switch panel every time before use. It is recommended to have at least one bucket or bailer on board

4.5 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
The stability of your XO boat is excellent due to its hull
design and weight distribution. However, remember that
high breaking waves always represent a serious danger
to stability. Also note that the stability of your boat will be
compromised if any weight is placed in a high position.
Any changes in the positioning of dierent weights in
the boat can have a significant impact on the stability,
trim and performance of your boat. If you are planning
such changes, please contact the boat manufacturer.
The amount of bilge water should be kept at a minimum
because freely moving water in the boat always impairs
the boat’s stability. Also note that stability can be diminished when towing or being towed.
4.6 HATCHES AND SEA-COCKS
There are several inlets through the boat that include
taps for opening and closing the inlets. It is recommended to keep these closed if the boat is out of use
for a long time, and to open them again when the boat
is used again. The taps of the draining sys-tems in the
aft and fore decks must be open when the boat is in the
water.
It’s recommended to keep the windows, doors, deck
hatches and vents shut while driving. However, on occasion and depending on the weather they can be kept
open. In stormy weather, always keep deck hatches,
storage room doors and openings closed to minimize
the risk of water getting into the boat.
In certain conditions and speeds it is possible that water
is sprayed inside through canopies, hatches or other
openings, due to nega-tive pressure or other eects.
This can be prevented by closing the canopies, hatches
or other openings.
The taps and hatches presented in the following picture
must be kept shut when under way.

5.1 MINIMIZING RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
If there is a fire in your craft, it usually starts with an
explosion. Most common fire sources are the engine
and the stove. Fire spreads usually very fast, so extinguishing the fire mist proceed quickly. Fire should be put
down by extinguishing, i.e. stopped the oxygen. Use the
fire extinguisher in your craft. The exact location can be
found from the General safety diagram. Using water in
fuel-based fires does not help.
If the fire starts to get out of control, leave the burning
craft to save lives, because if the fire reaches fuel
containers, it may cause an explosion and cause even a
large area around the boat to burn. Switch the power o
when leaving your boat.
Keep the bilge always clean; check it periodically for fuel
fumes and oil leakages. Do not drape any curtains or
other flammable material near a stove or heater.
It is recommended that the owner / user of the boat
takes care of that there is easy access to a fire bucket
with a line attached to it in the boat. Make sure that the
fire extinguishing equipment is easily accessible also
when the boat is loaded.
Inform all members of the crew are aware of the location
and operation of the fire extinguishing equipment. Keep
the bilge clear of fuel and check the fuel system for leaks
regularly. The smell of fuel is a definite sign of leaking
fuel. In case your boat is equipped with a heater, please
refer to the heater manufacturer’s instructions for its
safety instructions.
5.1.1 Responsibility of boat owner/operator
It is the responsibility of the boat owner/operator to
ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible
when the boat is occupied, and to inform members of
the crew about
• the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment,
• the location of discharge openings into the engine
space, and
• the location of routes and exits that is shown section
5.3
5 SAFETY
19
NOTE !
Also, never
• make changes to your boat’s electrical or fuel
system, or allow an unqualified person to make
changes to any system on the boat
• fill the fuel tank or handle fuel when the engine
is running smoke or use a naked flame when
handling fuel
• keep fuel in a space that is not designed for such
purpose.
• leave the boat unattended when a cooker or
heater is in use.
• obstruct passageways to exits and hatches,
• obstruct safety controls, e.g. fuel valves, gas
valves, switches of the electrical system,
• obstruct portable fire extinguishers stowed in
lockers
• smoke while handling fuel or gas.
5.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The boat is equipped with two 2 kg hand extinguishers
(1 and 2) and one 5 kg automatic extinguisher (3) in
the engine compartment. The hand extinguisher (1) is
located in the portside locker and the position of the
extinguishers is marked with a sticker. Other hand extinguisher (2) is located driver´s seat. The automatic extinguisher in the engine compartment starts automatically
if it detects a fire there. You can check whether the extinguisher is in working order by looking at the indicator
light on the steering console. For more information, read
the manual for the extinguisher.
Whenever the boat is used, it must be equipped with fire
extinguishers with a minimum fire rating of 8A 68B. The
minimum fire rating for an individual fire extinguisher is
5A 34B. You must have the hand-held fire extinguishers
inspected regularly at specified intervals, depending
on the legislation in your country. Contact the local fire
authorities for the inspection policy in your country. have
your hand-held fire extinguishers inspected once a year.
The manufacturing date of a hand-held fire extinguisher
is indicated on a label attached to the fire extinguisher.
20
Fire extinguishers that are more than ten years old will
not be approved unless the pressure vessel is pressure
tested again. When replacing a hand-held fire extinguisher, it must be replaced with an extinguisher with an
extinguishing capacity that is at least the same as the
old one.
5.2.1 Servicing of fire-fighting equipment
The boat owner/operator shall have fire-fighting equipment checked at the intervals indicated on the equipment, replace portable fire extinguishers, if expired or
discharged, by devices of identical fire-fighting capacity,
and have fixed systems refilled or replaced when expired
or discharged.

5.3 LIFE RAFT STORAGE
Your craft is not equipped with life raft by the manufacturer. If you decide to get one for your craft, we recommend that you stow it to the aft of the craft, so that it is
easily accessible in case of emergency.
5.3.1 Use of life raft
In case of an emergency, the life raft should be tied to
the stern of the craft and prepared for use. When the
life raft is ready and tied to the stern, loading the raft can
be done via the swimming deck. Also in an emergency,
the life raft is easiest and safest to board from the swimming deck.Switch o the engine when using the life raft.
Follow also the life raft manufacturer’s instructions.

6.1 12 V DC SYSTEMS
Your craft is equipped with the 12V electrical direct current
(DC) system. The 12-Volt DC-electrical system consist of
engines chargers, shore power chargers, batteries and
equipment. The
power supply happens from charger or alternator via
diodes for batteries. Most equipment of the craft uses
the 12 V system. 12V equipment is working only when
a main switch and a switch in the Main switch panel is
switched on. Damaged equipment must be maintained
before taking back to use.
The boat’s wiring diagram is shown in Appendix 3. The
main switch is located on the starboard side, behind
the helm station. When the circuit is closed, the various
devices can be operated with the switch panel at the
helm station.
