● OUTBOARD ENGINE
DANGER
Overpowering may cause serious or fatal injury or damage to the boat.
Operation of an outboard motor that exceeds the maximum engine power of the boat may result in
1) Cause manoeuvring problems and affect the stability of the boat.
2) Stern weight of the boat and thus a change in the flotation characteristics of the boat induce
3) Lead to breakage of the boat, especially in the area of the stern.
Information on the maximum permissible engine power can be found under technical data in this
operating manual.
USE AN EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH. This switch switches off the engine when the skipper
leaves the operating position or goes overboard for any reason. Such falls are often also the cause
of poor handling, such as sitting on the seat back or the Schandeck when gliding, standing when
gliding, sitting on raised fishing boat decks, operation when gliding in shallow or obstructed waters.
Mounting the engine
● Ensure that you have a secure footing.
● Unlock the motor to tilt and mount the motor to the mirror.
● The motor must be mounted in the middle of the mirror for it to function properly.
● Screw the brackets securely to the rear.
Arrangement of the outboard engine
The outboard engine must be installed so that it is vertical in the water in its normal operating position. The
positioning of the outboard motor is important for the sailing characteristics of the boat. If the outboard motor is
not in the correct position it can splash water into the boat or suck in air.
Starting the engine:
● Pull the boat into the water.
● Move the engine to the lower operating position.
● Ensure that the boat is stable and start the engine.
NOTE: Choose an outboard motor for the boat whose power range and maximum weight meet the boat's
requirements. Information on the maximum power and maximum weight of the outboard can be found in the
"Technical Data" table in this manual or on the nameplate attached to the boat.
CAUTION
● If the skipper goes overboard, the risk of serious or fatal injury from the boat can be greatly reduced
if the engine is switched off immediately. Always connect the pull rope to the emergency stop switch
and attach it to the skipper.
● The switch can also be accidentally activated during normal cruising. This could result in the follo-
wing dangerous situations.
● Avoid serious or fatal injuries caused by the deceleration force generated by an accidental or
unexpected triggering of the emergency stop switch. The skipper should never leave his operating
position without first releasing the pull rope
