｜Safe Operation Guidelines

Safe operation begins with preparation and continues with vigilant practices on the water.

Pre-Departure Safety Checks

Before starting the engine, perform these critical checks:

• Passenger Briefing & Capacity: Brief all passengers on the location and use of life jackets (PFDs), the engine cut-off switch (kill cord), and basic procedures. Never exceed the maximum capacity of 4 persons.

• Essential Gear Check: Ensure a serviceable, correctly sized life jacket is available for every person on board. Confirm the fire extinguisher, visual distress signals, sound-producing device, and navigation lights are present and functional.

• Boat Integrity: Visually inspect the fiberglass hull for cracks and ensure the inflatable tubes are firm and free from significant damage. Verify the self-draining deck plugs are secure and clear of debris.

• Fuel & Engine: Check the 60-liter fuel tank level, ensuring you have enough for your trip plus a reserve. Check for fuel leaks or odors. Verify the engine oil level and ensure the battery is charged.

Key Procedures During Operation

Kill Cord (Engine Cut-Off Switch): Always attach the kill cord lanyard to your person before starting the engine. Its purpose is to stop the engine if you are displaced from the helm, preventing a runaway boat.

• Life Jackets (PFDs): The safest practice is for all occupants to wear their life jackets at all times while on the water. This is non-negotiable for children and non-swimmers.

• Speed & Awareness: Your 30-50HP engine provides high speed, but you must always operate at a speed safe for the conditions, visibility, and traffic. Be especially mindful of your wake. Maintain a constant lookout for other boats, swimmers, skiers, and debris.

• Load & Stability: Keep the load balanced. Remind passengers to remain seated on the designated seats while underway, particularly during high-speed maneuvers or in choppy water. The boat's stability can be compromised if people stand or sit on the tubes while moving.

• Water Sports (Using Ski Rings): When towing skiers or wakeboarders, have a dedicated observer to watch the person being towed. Ensure clear hand signals are agreed upon. Circle and approach a downed skier slowly and from downwind, turning your engine off before they re-board.

｜Maintenance Schedule

Regular maintenance is crucial for safety, performance, and longevity.

After Every Use (Post-Trip)

Flush the Engine: If used in saltwater, flush the outboard engine's cooling system with fresh water using earmuffs or a flush port.

• Rinse the Boat:Thoroughly rinse the entire boat with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Pay special attention to the tubes, stainless-steel fittings, and the deck.

• Dry & Ventilate: Open all storage compartments, dry the deck, and air out the boat to prevent mildew.

• Regular Maintenance (Every 100 Hours or Seasonally)

• Engine Service: Follow your outboard engine manufacturer's scheduled maintenance for oil changes, gear case lubrication, spark plug replacement, and fuel filter changes.

• Hull & Tubes: Clean the fiberglass hull with a marine-grade cleaner and wax it periodically. Wash the inflatable tubes with soapy water and a soft brush; use a specific protectant to guard against UV degradation

• Steering & Propeller: Inspect steering cables and connections for corrosion or stiffness. Check the propeller for damage, nicks, or fishing line wrapped around the shaft.

Annual / Long-Term Storage

• Engine Winterization: If storing for winter, add fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil, fog the cylinders, and disconnect the battery. Consult your engine manual.

• Boat Storage: Store the boat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to slightly deflate the tubes and support the hull to avoid flat spots.

• Safety Gear: Check expiry dates on flares and fire extinguishers. Have inflatable life jackets professionally serviced as required.
