The manufacturer's plate is located on the inside of the boat transom.
Boat design category according to ISO 10240:
Category A: Craft designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and in
significant wave heights of 4m and above, and is largely self - sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as
hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages, for example across
oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
Category B: Craft designed to operate in winds up to force 8 and the associated wave heights. Such conditions
may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length, or on coastal waters when unsheltered
from the wind and waves for several dozens of nautical miles. These conditions may also be experienced
on inland seas of sufficient size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C: Craft designed to operate in winds up to force 6 and the associated wave heights ( significant
wave height up to 2m ). Such conditions may be encountered in exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in
coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D: This craft is designed to operate in winds up to force 4 and the associated wave heights (occasional
maximum waves of 0.5m height ). Such conditions may be encountered in sheltered inland waters, and in
coastal waters in fine weather.

Transporting
For optimum handling, the trailer must be properly loaded and balanced.
Keep the center of gravity low for best handling.
Approximately 60 percent of the boat's weight should be positioned on the front half of the trailer and 40
percent in the rear.
The boat should also be balanced from side to side. If the vessel has side mounted fuel or water tanks and
only one side is filled, then this will lend the rig to maneuver poorly. Proper balancing will also extend the life
of your trailers tires.
The boat should be firmly secured with at least two ratchet type straps, attached from the trailer to the stern
eyes and one ratchet type strap from the trailer ( to the rear ) , to the bow eye to keep the boat from shifting
forward. The bow eye should also be attached to the trailer's winch which is mounted forward of the bow.
Make sure you have sufficient clearance to avoid damaging outboard or boat during transportation.
Operation
1. Pre-operation check list
- Check the pressure level in each chamber using a pressure gauge. Recommended working pressure is
displayed on manufacturer's plate.
- Make sure the outboard motor is securely fastened to the transom.
- Make sure the drain plug is fully functional.
- Check fuel tank level and make sure it suits your plan.
- Start the outboard motor and make sure it stops when the lanyard is disconnected from the switch.
