RUNNING
BEHAVIOUR OF THE BOAT
If this is your first boat or if you are not familiar with
the boat, we urge you to practice controlling the boat at
slow speed as a first step. Avoid violent manoeuvres or
unexpected speed changes while sailing. People can fall
over or overboard.
Keep also in mind that the weight distribution
(passengers, equipments, etc.) inside the boat has an
impact on the behaviour of the boat when cruising.
Depending the position of the load, the behaviour of the
boat may change, particularly in the case of a planning
hull.
The condition of the hull and the propeller is also a
critical factor. A dirty and / or damaged hull will modify
the behaviour of the boat and therefore the engine
performance. It can also cause cavitation which can
seriously erode the surface of the propeller, the drive,
etc.
DURING OPERATION
Never press the START button when the engine is
running.
The solenoid of the starter motor would push up the cog
and make the starter motor to start, against the turning
flywheel of the engine already in motion. This action
would destroy the starter motor.
Check the instruments and warning lamps after starting,
and regularly when cruising.
CRUISING SPEED
A recommended engine speed is given in the
TECHNICAL
DATA
section to help you to set your cruising speed.
NOTE !
Always consider sailing conditions and load of the boat
to set the cruising speed.
Operating the engine at wide open throttle should be
avoided since it is both uncomfortable and uneconomical.
Note that operating the engine at a too low rpm for a
long period could lead among other things to increased
oil consumption.
Deposits may also form in the injection system if the
engine do not reach its nominal operating temperature
regularly. Run the engine at full throttle regularly in order
to burn off any possible deposits in the fuel system.
