All Takacats are designed for short shaft engines. Outboard motors with long shafts or extra long shafts
must not be used.
The transom tubes must not be used as towing brackets. Only the tow rings in the stern area and in the
bow area may be used for towing. To avoid damage, it is essential to ensure gentle gas changes.

3. Then the both catamaran tubes must be inflated to 220mbar. Maximum pressure is 250mbar. The
