  • Page 5: Introduction

    The whole EXCESS team welcomes you on board. A EXCESS is made to last and to bring you all the pleasure you should expect from a boat over a period of many years. Each boat is subject to the utmost attention to detail from the design stage right through to launching.
  • Page 6 This manual is written to help you enjoy your boat in safety. It contains details of the boat and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as instructions for its use. Read it carefully and get to know your boat properly before using it. This owner's manual is not in any way a navigation or mariner's training manual.
  • Page 7 Notes on reading this manual The various symbols used throughout the manual for crucial safety information are as follows: DANGER Indicates a serious inherent danger with a high risk of death or serious injury if the appropriate precautions are not taken.
