1. INTRODUCTION This manual has been compiled to aid you to operate your craft safely. Please ensure you read the complete manual and familiarise yourself with the craft before using it. If this is your first boat, or are unfamiliar with this type of boat, ensure that you obtain experi- ence in operating and handling of this type of boat before use. Ask your local dealer for infor- mation on local schools or instructors if required. Ensure that the wind & sea conditions correspond to the design category of your boat, and that the all crew on board are able to handle the craft in these conditions. Your boat has been carefully categorised to Design category C, for which conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 0.3m may be expe- rienced, with occasional waves of 0.5m maximum height, for example from passing vessels. These are potentially dangerous conditions where only a trained, compatent & fit crew can satisfactorily operate. This owners’ manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble shooting guide. If you require any specific assitance or advice on the maintenance or service of your boat, seek advice from your dealer. Always use an authorised service agent for any repairs, modifications or fixing of this boat. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any modifications that have not been approved. Note that in some countries, specific regulations such as a driving lisence or authorisation is required. Please check with the local authority before entering the water. Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for deterioration that will occur in time and as a result of heavy use or misuse. The boat can become damaged when misused, it is very important to enforce correct use. Always adjust the speed and direction of your boat to the sea conditions. Ensure appropriate safety equipment such as lifejackets & harnesses are carried on board at all times. Note that it is mandatory to carry this equipment is some countries. The boat crew should be familiar with all important safety procedures and emergency manou- vering (man overboard recovery etc). Each person on board should wear a suitable life jacket, buoyancy aid or personal floatation at all times. Note that in some countries it is a legal requirement to wear a life jacket that com- plies with their regulations. KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE, AND ENSURE THAT IT IS HANDED OVER WITH THE BOAT SHOULD THE BOAT CHANGE HANDS. -

Page 7: Stability - Risk Of Flooding
3. STABILITY - RISK OF FLOODING DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PASSENGERS OR LOAD CAPACITY OF THIS CRAFT Refer to the specification table in this manual or the manufacturer’s plate on the boat for the maximum number of passengers and load capacity of the boat. Position the passengers and distribute the load evenly in the boat to help counterbalance the weight of the outboard. STABILITY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. All crew members should be adequately trained. 2. Any change in the disposition of the masses on board may significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of the craft 3. Bilge water should be kept to a minimum 4. Stability is reduced when any weight it built up high 6. Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard. 7. It is strongly advised that you carry back up manual bailing apparatus in case of leak/ flooding. Keep valves and bungs closed or open as appropriate to minimise risk of flooding. 4. -

Repeat this process for each of the other two chambers on the boat. 3. Constructing Your Floor ALUMINIUM FLOOR: Unpack the floor sections and the floor out next to the boat. Lift the port side of the boat skin at the bow and insert the first floor section right into the grooves between the floor and the par- tially inflated side of the boat skin. Then repeat for the starboard side. Make sure bow board is pushed right into the grooves and the keel valve is easily accessible through the hole in the floor section. Insert the next floor section as with bow, assuring it locks into the bow floor section. Insert the last board into the boat at the stern end first, and them lock into the centre section at before. Push the boards flat and into the grooves between the floor and the sides of the boat skin. Pull sides out to allow boards to slide in. Unpack the locking bars. Place the first locking bar on the left side with the inset side bar facing into the boat. Tip the bar under the floor so the insert section locks board sections 2 and 3 together. Repeat for right locking bar. AIR DECK FLOOR: Unroll the floor and fit the wooden support batten into the pocket provided on the un- derside of the air deck (not applicable to WL230RAXS) Put the deck into place ensuring the inflation valve is facing upwards and the hole through the air deck allows access to the keel inflation valve (WL270SAXT, WL290SAXT, WL320SAXT only) SLATTED FLOOR: If not already in place, insert the provided slats into the stitched pockets on the inside of the boat floor. 4. Fit seat Make sure you slide your seat in place and then inflate. Do not insert the seat after inflating. 5. Fully inflate both sides Insert pump pipe into the bow valve again, and fully inflate the bow of the boat skin. Repeat for both sides. Make sure not to over inflate. Put caps onto valves leaving valves to be in the closed position. All three compartments of your boat should now be inflated. 6. Assemble oars Clip the two part oars together. Twist the oar mounts (rowlocks) onto the pads on the boat. Insert oar into rowlock, and secure into the oar retainer. 7. Final procedures Affix the outboard bracket (WL230RAXS only) to the rear of the boat. Keep all accessories away in a safe... -

3. Remove the oars and pack into the bag. 4. Once the boat is deflated flat, fold the sides towards the inside of the boat. The tubes should now be touching, but not overlapping. 5. Fold the end of the tubes into the transom. 6. Use the footpump in deflate mode to remove any remaining air from the tubes. 7. Close the valves. 8. Starting from the rear, roll the boat up and place within the carrying valise, along with the foot pump. 16. REPAIR MINOR REPAIR Should a repair need to be carried out to your Waveline Boat, firstly assess the repair as you may be able to use the repair kit included with your boat using the following instructions: 1. Cut out a patch with rounded corners to a size which overlaps the hole by 5cm on all sizes. 2. Trace an outline of the patch where it will be fitted on the boat and ensure this area is clean and dry. 3. Degrease both the patch and the area of the boat to be repaired using MEK or Acetone solvent, and leave for 10 minutes. 4. Apply a thin coat of adhesive to both surfaces. 5. Leave for 20 minutes then apply a further thin seconds coat to both surfaces. 6. While still tacky, bring together both surfaces and apply as much pressure as possible using a rounded object (ie. back of a spoon) from the middle of the patch working outwards. -
