Notes:
a) Overall Length: Including removable parts that can be dismantled, without affecting the structure of the
boat.
b) Inside Length: Excluding removable parts that can be dismantled, without affecting the structure of the boat.
c) Beam: Including removable parts that can be dismantled, without affecting the structure of the boat.
d) Inside width: Excluding removable parts that can be dismantled, without affecting the structure of the boat.
e) Fuel Tank Capacity: It may not be possible to use this capacity fully depending on the trim and load of the
boat. It is recommended to keep a reserve of 20% in the fuel tanks.
f) Category C: Craft designed to operate in winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the associated wave heights
(significant wave height up to 2m). Such conditions may be encountered in exposed inland waters, in
estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.(ISO10240)

Load distribution

g)
- Please refer to the maximum numbers of passengers and load capacity of the boat in this manual or on
the builder's plate. Do not exceed the maximum number.
- Position the passengers and distribute the load evenly in the boat to help counterbalance the weight of
the outboard.
- In rough waters, load can be moved forward to ease the motion of the craft.
h) If some of those onboard are children, the total number of people allowed onboard may be increased,
provided that:
- The total weight of the children does not exceed 37.5Kg; and that
- The total weight of all allowed onboard (based on about 75Kg per adult) is not exceeded.
Warning
Do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons. Regardless of the number of persons on board,
the total weight of persons and equipment must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the
seats/ seating spaces provided.
When loading the boat, never exceed the recommended maximum load. Always load the boat carefully and
distribute loads appropriately to maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights high up.
Do not install an engine in this boat with a higher rated power than that indicated on the Builder's plate as
below.
Do not operate the boat with an engine of rated power greater than the maximum recommended power.
Overpowering a boat can result in serious injury, death or boat damage.
Use negative trim to go from cruising speed to planning speed and at low speeds (applicable to boats equipped
with a system for directing the propeller thrust).
Do no drive the boat at high speed with a negative trim of the propulsion equipment (bow down).
