    (approx. even keel). Avoid storing heavy weights at too high an elevation. Engine and propeller The largest recommended engine capacity for the Buster X is 58 kW (80 hp). An outboard engine is designed to be installed so that the cavita- tion plate above the propeller is on level with the keel line of the boat.

  • Page 16: Preventing Water Getting On Board, And Stability

    The location of deck openings and their respective plugs are shown in Diagram 2. Buster X has two outlets for draining rain water from the cock- pit. These outlets are meant to be plugged if you observe that water flows back into the cockpit through the drain outlets when the boat is loaded.

  • Page 18: Bilge Pumps And Drainage

    Buster X is equipped with an electrically-operated, automatic bilge pump. It discharges water that has collected in the bilge whenever the surface sensor detects its presence. The draining capacity of the electrical bilge pump is approx.

    5.7.1 Engines and fuel systems The Buster X has a fixed fuel tank which is fitted to the bilge un- der the engine well and the stern part of the cockpit. Before re- fuelling, switch off the engine. Do not smoke while refuelling and otherwise avoid naked flames.
  • Page 20 be lifted out of the boat to avoid any fuel getting into the bilge in the event of the fuelling procedure resulting in an overflow. When refuelling at a petrol station, do not use a plastic funnel, which will prevent the discharge of static voltage between the filler pistol and the bushing of the fuel inlet.

  • Page 21: Fire Extinguishing And Fire Prevention

    5.7.2 Fire extinguishing and fire prevention Buster X is equipped with a 2-kg hand-held powder extinguisher.

  • Page 25 In all Buster electrical systems, there are two extra circuits equipped with fuses (Extra 1 5A and Extra 2 10A). Accessories installed post-production can be connected to these. The leads for these circuits are behind the switch panel on the steering pulpit.

    Control characteristics 5.9.1 Driving at high speeds The recommended maximum engine output for the Buster X is 58 kW (80 hp). Do not use a boat with an engine that has a greater output than that which is indicated on the manufacturer’s plate.
  • Page 27 WARNING! Controllability is diminished at speeds above 30 knots. Rapid turns can lead to loss of control. Reduce speed before sharp turns in whatever direction you are going. WARNING! Waves reduce the boat’s controllability, causing it to heel. Bear this in mind and reduce speed in a rising swell.

    5.10.4 Anchoring, mooring and towing Always anchor your boat carefully even in sheltered spots, as conditions can change suddenly. The mooring line should be equipped with a spring-loaded device to cushion the effect of jerk- ing. See the attaching points in Diagram 8. Do not use other parts of the boat for mooring, towing, or anchoring.
  • Page 32 ATTENTION! When mooring your boat, always bear in mind wind change, tidal effects, backwash from other boats, etc. Further information can be had, for example, from your insurance company. When towing another boat, use a sufficiently strong, floating tow rope. Initiate the towing procedure carefully, avoid jerks, and do not overload the engine.
