  • Page 11: Introduction

    Please read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself with your boat before using it. At Ockelbo, we believe that you shall be free to choose a suitable outboard engine for your specific needs. For this reason, the boat manual cannot be very detailed on engine related topics.

    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: Explanation Of Safety Labels

    1.4 E XPLANATION OF SAFETY LABELS Mounted at key locations throughout your boat and duplicated in this manual are labels that advise the owner/operator of imperative safety precautions to follow when operating or servicing equipment. Study chapter 3.7 to learn their location. Learn to recognize the degree of precaution and understand the explanations of safety prior to reading this manual.

    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 the 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 also important. 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: Man - Overboard Prevention And Recovery

    2.3 M OVERBOARD PREVENTION AND RECOVERY Refer chapter 3.6 for passenger and working areas of the boat. 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 port side of the transom (see chapter 7, figure 1 and position 23).

  • Page 18: Fire Port

    Ensure that the fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible when the boat is occupied. Inform the crew members and passengers about the location and operation of the fire-fighting equipment, the fire port, escape routes and the exits. Unlock any deck hatches to enable fire fighting inside storage areas and keep the fire port free.

    of fire inside the bilge/ below the deck area, introduce the nozzle to the fire port opening and activate the extinguisher. Replace the fire port if worn or damaged. 1. Fire port 2.4.3 Refuelling Before you start to fill the engine fuel tank, turn off the engine and naturally any cigarettes or any other open flames like stoves, candles or lamps with flames.

  • Page 20: Starting The Boat

    Start the engine according to the Owner’s Manual for the outboard engine. If the engine does not start, or functions 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 Check the cooling water control beam, to ensure that the cooling system is working properly (visible just below the engine hood, well above water level).
  • Page 21  Be extra careful when running the engine in neutral, when moving at low speeds and with the tailwind, and when running with a high bow, as fumes can then easier accumulate in and around the boat.  Ensure that the cabin ventilation is sufficient. Keep the roof ventilators open when the boat is in use, even with the engine shut off.

  • Page 22: Leaving Shore

    2.5.4 Leaving shore The crew releases each mooring rope etc., as per your instructions. Make sure mooring ropes or other ropes does not tangle with the propeller. Ask crew to be seated as soon as possible after leaving the mooring position. For seating positions see chapter 3.6.
  • Page 23  Sharp turns, a too low bow or sideways waves at high speeds may be very dangerous due to the risk of fast changes of directions. It may cause passengers and the operator to shift and loose grip, potentially be hurt and/or lose control of the boat.

  • Page 24: 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 angle 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 25: Trim Of The Boat Roll (Transverse Movement)

    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 condition 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 26 Trim tabs are very useful, but it is important to understand their major impact on boat's sea properties. Incorrect use can seriously affect the boat's performance and driving characteristics, and cause an accident. Be careful and remember that these basic instructions are not a substitute for good seamanship and experience.

  • Page 27: Anchoring , Mooring And Towing

    2.7 A NCHORING MOORING AND TOWING Mooring, anchoring and towing require specific skills and good seamanship. Always ask for advice when needed. It is the owner's and operator's responsibility to ensure that mooring, towing and anchor ropes, anchor chains and anchors are appropriate for the vessel's intended use and in good condition.
  • Page 28 Moor your boat carefully, even in sheltered places, because weather conditions can change rapidly. Do not moor the boat with the stern facing the open sea, because high 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.

    Soft material / clothes between fender & straps NOTE Tightening straps too hard across the boat fender may damage the fender. Be careful and use rags or other material between fender and straps/ropes. 3.10 S TRONG POINTS Cleats Your boat comes equipped with 4 cleats, two located at the bow and two located at the stern.

  • Page 41: Lifting Of The Boat

    The positions of the lift straps are shown in the figure. When lifting the boat with lift straps, Ockelbo recommends using a forklift or lifting frame to separate the straps from the upper hull and fender. The straps need to be vertical. There may be damages on both hull and fender if these recommendations are not followed and any warranty does not cover these.
  • Page 42 *All dimensions in mm Areas for positioning of lifting straps, to ensure good balance. DANGER Never stand below the boat when it is lifted. Use only the lifting procedure specified in this manual. Using the cleats, secure eye, bow eye, handrails or other parts of the boat for lifting is dangerous and cause severe injury or death.

  • Page 61: 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 is designed to corrode instead of the boat and the engine. They are mounted at the bottom recess (see the figure given below).

  • Page 62: Component Maintenance

    WARNING Neglect to replace the boat zinc anodes in time can cause major damages to the boat hull and engine! CAUTION Do not apply any paint to zinc anodes, and ensure that the surface between the anodes and the hull is metal clean when replacing and inspecting the anodes. NOTE Your engine is likely also equipped with anodes that need to be maintained, see engine manual for further details.

  • Page 63: Fender List

    6.3.3 Fender list The fender list has a D-shape and is bolted to the hull. As a fender, it will eventually have physical contact with other boats, docks and so on. Such contact will result in scratches, small deformations and some friction marks. This is natural and could be left unattended as long as the fender is functional and well attached to the hull.

  • Page 64: Winter Storage / Spring Preparations

    6.4 W INTER STORAGE SPRING PREPARATIONS Preparing boats for winter storage are subject to your location. In cold climates, always have your boat hoisted in good time before the water freezes. This is an appropriate time to perform all yearly maintenance, repair and inspection procedures. Even if your boat is used around the year, a yearly maintenance period is recommended and shall follow the same routines as specified below except when marked with a *.

  • Page 65: Measures After Winter Storage

    To ensure the best possible performance, safety and lifetime of your boat, it is important only to use high-quality spare parts that are suitable and approved for your specific boat application. Failure to do so may jeopardize safety, lifetime and performance. Ockelbo offers parts through the dealer network.
