2.5 Driving

The trim angle of a boat has a significant effect on
driving characteristics and fuel consumption. The
trim angle can be adjusted by load re-distribution
and adjusting engine trim angle.
A correct trim angle in conjunction with a suit-
able speed makes driving enjoyable and safe, even
in a swell.
WARNING! High speed and sudden steering
movements, especially in high seas, may result in
loss of control of the boat and excessive heeling
angles. Always consider your own driving skill,
your speed and direction, if you have to set off
into conditions exceeding the design specifica-
tions of your boat.
WARNING! Observe the recommendations on
the manufacturer's plate concerning the maxi-
mum permitted number of passengers and maxi-
mum load.
WARNING! At high speeds, adjust the engine trim
angle with care, as it will greatly change the be-
haviour of the boat. Do not drive with the bow too
low, otherwise the boat might turn unexpectedly.
Water will drain from all planing Terhi models,
when the drain plug is opened during planing.
WARNING! Close the plug as soon as the boat
is empty of water, otherwise water will flow back
into the boat when you reduce speed. In the boat,
be careful when moving on surfaces not covered
with anti-slip tapes.

2.6 Engine

If your boat is equipped with an engine, familiar-
ise yourself with its operation by reading the en-
gine manual. When installing the engine, please
observe the instructions supplied by the engine
manufacturer and your Terhi dealer. If your boat
is to be left idle for a longer period of time, switch
off the power from the main switch, if your boat
has one.
Terhi - Owner's manual
WARNING! Observe the recommendations on
the manufacturer's plate concerning the maxi-
mum motor power and weight.
NOTE! Do not use the main switch to cut the
electric current when the engine is running, as
this may damage the charger.

2.7 Emergency switch

All the newest models of outboard motor have
an emergency switch. Check the location of the
emergency switch and read the user instructions
in the engine manual. The switch is usually used
with a cotter-type coupler and a lanyard. Care-
fully attach one end of the lanyard to your wrist or
clothing, and the other end to the engine's emer-
gency switch.
WARNING! A spinning propeller can be fatal for a
man overboard or swimmer. Stop the engine when-
ever a swimmer or water-skier is getting into the boat.
When you are boating alone, it is especially impor-
tant that the boat will stop if you fall overboard or
trip over in the boat. Under such circumstances,
use the emergency switch if your engine has one.

2.8 Refuelling

It is best to refuel at the quay or on shore to pre-
vent fuel from spilling into the boat. Fuel and oil
splashes must be wiped immediately from the sur-
faces of the boat. Hazardous materials and objects
(e.g. sparking devices or flares) must not be stored
in the tank storage compartment.
WARNING! Before you start refuelling, stop the
engine.
2.9 Bilge pump
The bilge pump is fitted as standard on Terhi
475 and Nordic 6020 C Models. In Terhi 475 the
pump is located in the bilge under the reat seat
and in Terhi Nordic 6020 C in the draining well in
front of the rear seat. The switch is on the control
panel of the steering console.
NOTE! Check the operation of the bilge pump at
regular intervals. Clean the pump's suction holes
of foreign objects.
