| Technical Parameter-Liya 20 Foot RIB Fishing Boat For 12 People

FAQ

Q: What is this 20ft RIB boat best suited for?

A: Its primary design is for fishing, thanks to its stable platform and customizable options. However, it's equally perfect for family leisure, island tours, and commercial passenger transport due to its 12-person capacity, comfort features, and CE safety certification.

Q: How many people can it safely carry?

A: This CE-certified RIB is rated for a maximum of 12 persons, ensuring it meets strict European safety standards for passenger capacity.

Q: What engine power is recommended, and can I choose my own?

A: We recommend a 115HP outboard for optimal balance of power and fuel efficiency. The boat is rated for a maximum of 150HP. You can source a compatible engine from your local dealer, and we can provide guidance on installation.

Q: What makes it good for fishing?

A: Beyond its stable deep-V hull, it offers key fishing boat features like a clear cockpit for movement, options for rod holders, a livewell/bait tank, a washdown shower, and a customizable layout to fit all your gear.

Q: Can I really change the interior layout?

A: Absolutely! A major selling point is customizability. The sun pads and fiberglass table in the bow and stern are easily removable and interchangeable. Convert from a lounging area to a large open deck for fishing or gear in minutes.

Q: What options are available for sun or rain protection?

A: You can outfit your boat with a sturdy stainless steel or aluminum T-top, which can be fitted with a folding canopy or sun shade for full weather protection.

Q: Is there easy access to the water for swimming?

A: Yes. You can opt for the deluxe swim platform equipped with a stainless-steel ladder and grab rails, making entering and exiting the water safe and effortless.

Q: What about towing for water sports?

A: If you're interested in waterskiing or wakeboarding, you can choose to install a heavy-duty tow bar (ski pylon) at the stern instead of the swim platform.

Q: What is the fuel capacity and expected range?

A: It comes with a integrated 150-liter fuel tank. The range depends on engine choice, load, and sea conditions, but the efficient hull design ensures very good fuel economy for extended trips.

Safety Operation Procedures

1. Core Safety Principles: Non-Negotiable Rules

These fundamental rules form the basis of all safe RIB operations and must be observed at all times.

• Emergency Cut-Off Lanyard (Kill Cord): This device serves one purpose: to stop the engine if the helmsman is displaced from the controls. It is essential that you:
• Always attach the cord securely to your person before starting the engine.
• Test it regularly to ensure the engine stops when the cord is pulled.
• Stop the engine completely before transferring the cord to another driver.
• Lifejackets (Personal Flotation Devices - PFDs): For a vessel certified for up to 12 persons, this is critical. Ensure there is one correctly sized, serviceable lifejacket for every person on board. The routine wearing of lifejackets dramatically increases survival probability in an emergency, especially for children.
• Sober Operation: Do not operate the boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Safe Speed & Wake Awareness: Always maintain a speed appropriate for the conditions: sea state, visibility, and traffic density. High speed is a major factor in accidents. Be mindful of the wash your vessel creates, which can be hazardous to others.

2. Pre-Departure Checks & Planning

• Weather & Passage Planning: Obtain a marine weather forecast for wind, waves, and tide times. Plan your route and inform someone ashore of your plans.
• Boat & Equipment Check: Visually inspect the fiberglass hull and inflatable tubes for damage. Ensure the self-draining deck scuppers are clear. Verify that all required safety equipment is on board and functional.
• Fuel Management: Check your fuel level before leaving shore. With a 150L tank, plan your trip to carry sufficient fuel for the journey plus a minimum one-third reserve. Be aware of your engine's fuel consumption rate.

• Loading & Weight Distribution: Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 12 persons. Distribute passengers and gear evenly to keep the boat in good "trim" (balanced fore and aft) and maintain a low center of gravity. Restrain all loose gear to prevent movement.

• Brief all passengers on safety basics: where to sit (on the seats provided, not on the gunwales), how to wear a lifejacket, and what to do in an emergency. Ensure everyone is seated correctly before increasing speed.
• Effective Lookout & VHF Radio: The helmsman must maintain a constant 360-degree lookout for other vessels, swimmers, and obstacles. Carrying and monitoring a VHF marine radio is vital for communication:traffic coordination, and summoning assistance.
• Handling & Manoeuvring: Familiarize yourself with the boat's handling characteristics, especially with the 115-150HP outboard. Avoid high-speed turns. When approaching a landing or dock, always reduce speed early for a controlled, gentle arrival.

Maintenance & Care Schedule

Proper maintenance preserves your investment and is a critical component of safety.

1. After Each Use (Post-Trip)

• Engine Flush: If used in saltwater, flush the outboard engine with fresh water using manufacturer-approved muffs or a flushing port.
• Freshwater Rinse: Rinse the entire boat—hull, tubes, deck, and console—with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris.

• Clean & Dry: Wash down the deck and flexible seating/sun cushions. Wipe down the helm and instruments. Leave storage lockers and the cabin (if applicable) open to air out and prevent mildew.

• Inflatable Tubes: Check and adjust the air pressure in all chambers to the manufacturer's recommended PSI. Inspect for abrasions, cuts, or UV damage.
• Fuel System: Inspect the fuel tank, supply lines, and connections for any signs of wear, cracking, or leaks. Ensure portable tanks are clearly marked and stored securely.
• Steering & Controls: Check the steering system (especially hydraulic lines) for smooth operation and any signs of fluid leakage. Inspect control cables for corrosion.

• Bilge & Drainage: Test the automatic bilge pump switch and ensure all deck drains are clear.

• Professional Engine Service: Adhere strictly to the engine manufacturer's service schedule for tasks such as changing engine oil, gear lube, spark plugs, and inspecting the water pump impeller.
• Safety Gear Service: Inspect all lifejackets for damage. Check fire extinguisher pressure gauges and service/charge if needed. Replace expired distress signals.
• Hull & Tube Deep Care: Apply a quality marine wax to the fiberglass hull. Clean tubes with a manufacturer-approved cleaner and apply a UV protectant.
• Anode Inspection: Check and replace sacrificial zinc anodes on the engine(s) to protect against galvanic corrosion.
