(BS EN ISO 11592)
Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power larger than that posted on the
capacity label of the craft.
Engine Trim:
Using the power trim unit or the manual trim pin setting, ensure the boat is trimmed
correctly at all times. The boat trim will vary with crew/load position. Improper trim can
lead to engine ventilation/cavitation or dangerous handling characteristics.
Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high
speed. The craft may lean over and instability may result. Use negative trim to accelerate
to planning speed from displacement speed and at lower planning speeds in choppy water
(applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim)
Anchoring & Towing
(ISO 15084)
Responsibility:
It is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to ensure that mooring lines, towing lines,
anchor chain(s) anchor line(s) and anchor(s) are adequate for the vessel’s intended use, i.e. the lines
or chains do not exceed 80% of the breaking strength of the respective strong point. Owners should
also consider what action will be necessary when securing a towline onboard.
Where non-metallic strong points are installed, their limited lifetime shall be taken into consideration.
They shall be exchanged once they show any signs of deterioration, visible surface cracks or
permanent deformation.
Replace strong points showing visible signs of deterioration.
Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the hull speed of a displacement
craft when being towed.
A towline shall always be made fast in such a way that it can be released when under
load.
It is advised to always carry an anchor of suitable type and size with sufficient warp to anchor in your
operational area and holding ground.
When towing the craft, ensure the craft is restrained onto the trailer using the towing eye at the bow
and tie down straps near the stern. It is not recommended the trailer winch is used to restrain the
craft at any time.
It is imperative to use an “approved” and correctly sized trailer when removing your Smartwave Boat
from the water for inspection, transportation or storage. Use of any other trailer or transportation
without the use of an outboard engine support bracket may void the boat warranty.
Smartwave Boat trailers are constructed using runners to support the boat and avoid point loading
associated with rollers. Do not leave your boat on blocks or on the trailer unmoved for long periods of
time.
