wind with a danger of unusual waves and gusts. These are dangerous conditions that necessitate a skilled and fit crew and a well-maintained boat. If your craft is equipped with a life raft, study its instructions carefully. The boat must be equipped with the appropriate safety equipment (life vests, safety harnesses, etc.) as required for the boat type and the weather conditions. -
Page 13: Ealer Responsibilities
The dealer who has sold you the boat will inform you of the product warranty terms and conditions. If for some reason such information is not provided, or any of the below steps fail, contact AB Ockelbo Aluminiumbåtar or any Ockelbo dealer.

Page 15: Operating The Boat
2. OPERATING THE BOAT WARNING Read and make sure you understand the operation and safety topics of this owner’s manual before you operate the boat for the first time. 2.1 S AFETY ROUTINES BEFORE LEAVING SHORE Familiarize yourself with this owner’s manual. Always check the following items before leaving shore: 2.1.1 Weather and forecast Consider the wind, waves and visibility. -
Page 16: Safety Check Of The Boat
regular charts onboard. There is always a risk for technical malfunction of electronic devices; therefore, regular charts are important as well. 2.1.8 Safety check of the boat Check that hatches are closed and watertight. Ventilate the stern sofa storage where the battery is installed. This is to remove any battery gases. -
Page 17: Fire Prevention
Other areas must not be occupied when underway due to the risk of falling, potentially into the water. If a person has fallen into the water in calm seas, the person can use the rescue ladder located on the portside of the transom (see chapter 7, figure 1, position 21). Always turn of the engine using the emergency (dead-man) switch before using the ladder. -
Page 18: Refueling
Inform the members of the crew and passengers about the location and operation of the fire-fighting equipment, the fire port and the locations of escape routes and exits. Unlock any deck hatches to be able to fight fires inside storage areas, and to keep fire port free. -
Page 19: Starting The Boat
Start the engine according to the manufacturer's owner’s manual. If the engine does not start, or function poorly, check for instructions in the manual. If unsuccessful, contact your engine dealer (in most cases it is your Ockelbo dealer). 2.5.2 After starting the engine Ensure that the cooling system is working properly, by visually checking the cooling water control beam (visible just below the engine hood, well above water level). -
Page 20: Leaving Shore
Never operate the engine with the canopy (option) in use, unless there is good ventilation throughout the boat (i.e. forward and aft canvas panels are opened to allow air flow through the boat). Never operate the boat with canopy on and with only the back/stern canopy panel opened (fumes could then enter inside the canopy and accumulate in dangerous concentrations). - Page 21 or challenging water and weather conditions. When running with a very high bow (typically when accelerating from non-planing to planing speed), the view may be partially obstructed. If so, ask a passenger for assistance with view or stand up if it helps you to see better. Minimize the time under such conditions. ...

Page 22: Trim Of The Engine (Boat Pitch)
2.6.1 Trim of the engine (boat pitch) The outboard engine has a built-in trim and tilt function. The trim adjusts the angel of the propeller versus the boat transom. See also chapter 4.6. 1. Trim Up 2. Neutral 3. Trim Down The engine trim is used to adjust the bow up or down (the so-called pitch) while the boat is under speed. -
Page 23: Anchoring , Mooring And Towing
Trim when running at speeds above planing: When the boat is running at speeds above planing, the trim also needs to be adjusted. As speed, direction, load, wind or wave conditions changes, new adjustments may be needed. Use the trim up to lift the bow up slowly without change of throttle position. Follow the log to notice for how long the speed is increasing. - Page 24 waves could flood the boat and sink it. Use loose fenders between the boat hull and any close objects such as other boats when there is a risk of contact. If the boat is left unattended, turn off the electric power using the main power switch (for location and function, see chapter 5.3).
- Page 25 Storm anchor: If you lose engine power at sea and waves are strong, keep the boat headed into the waves by rigging a sea anchor off the bow (below principal figure). If there is no sea anchor on board, use a canvas bucket or any object that will offer resistance. Towing: Towing of boats is a very demanding and risky operation, requiring specific skills and experience.
- Page 26 WARNING 1. Do not stop the boat by hand and don’t put your hand or foot between the boat and the quay, bank, or other boat. Practice landing in good condition, use engine power moderately but not tentatively. 2. Towing or being towed can lead to fatigue of the boat’s hardware and lines. Failure of any part can seriously injury people or damage the boat.

Page 52: Anodes For Prevention Of Galvanic Corrosion
One of the most important maintenance tasks when owning a boat is making sure you protect the hull and engine from electrolytic corrosion. This can otherwise quickly create serious damages. Ockelbo boats are therefore equipped with sacrificial anodes, made from zinc, which are designed to corrode instead of the boat and the engine. They are mounted at the bottom recess (see chapter 7, figure 1, position 19). -
Page 53: Acrylic Windows
