on an even keel). avoid placing heavy weight in a high position.

5.5 ENGINE AND PROPELLER

The maximum rated outboard engine power for XO 200 S CC is 111
kW. Normally, outboard engines are designed to be installed so
that the cavitation plate above the engine propeller is level with the

tions when installing the engine and choosing the propeller. In addi-
tion, read the engine manual carefully. When starting the engine,
check that the cooling water flows properly and make sure that the
gear is in the neutral position. If the engine starts when the gear is
not in neutral, contact your nearest service centre.

5.6 FLOODING AND STABILITY

5.6.1 openings in the hull and deck

The XO boats are not equipped with plugs for draining the deck, but
the drain pipes are fitted with shut-off valves. See the general layout
of XO 200 S CC (Appendix 2). XO 200 S CC has two drain holes loca-
ted on the deck from where the rainwater is drained. In addition to
the rainwater, the drain holes are intended to drain water ending up
on the deck through splashing or from breaking waves. The drain
holes must be open at all times. Clean out the holes regularly by
removing any accumulated debris to prevent clogging. The boat is
also equipped with a screw-in transom drain plug at the bottom cor-
ner of the transom that can be used for draining the boat when it is
laid up ashore or on a trailer.
NOTE!
the self-draining deck system is intended to drain the majority of
rainwater and water ending up on the deck through splashing or
from breaking waves. a portion of the rainwater and water con-
densing in the bilge may end up in the bilge. Do Not LEaVE tHE

5.6.2 bilge pumps and drainage

The location of draining devices is shown in Figure 2. The bilge
pumps are positioned as close to the bottom plate as is practically
possible. Despite this, it is completely normal that a small amount
