Anchoring
NOTICE! Be careful not to scratch the boat with the anchor.
- Confirm that anchoring is not forbidden.
- In the user interface, check the depth.
- Lower the anchor. Use an anchor line 7-10 times the depth.
- To ensure that the anchor has taken hold on the seabed, pull on the anchor line.
- If possible, tie a dock line onto a local strongpoint to distribute the weight of the boat more evenly.
- Take note of the boat position.
- Check the boat position regularly.
Mooring
- When approaching the wharf, release the boat fenders and prepare the dock lines. When in place, proceed as follows:
- Extend the cleats by pulling them up.
- Moor the boat according to either of the images.
- Ensure that the boat can move without hitting the wharf.
Towing
- Tow and be towed at low speed.
- Bear in mind that boat stability can decrease during towing.
- Attach the tow line so that it can be released under load. •
- When towing a boat of displacement hull type, do not exceed the hull speed.
When the boat is unattended
For security reasons, and to optimize the lifespan of the boat, follow the instructions when the boat is unattended:
- Apply Harbor mode.
- Connect the charging cable.
- Turn the key off to shut down the boat.
