5.1 Stability and buoyancy
The stability of your boat is excellent due to the hull shape and balanced distribution of weight.
However, keep in mind that the stability of the boat can be reduced by the following:
Large breaking waves.
Towing or being towed.
Any load placed above the floor level.
Freely moving water in the bilge. Make sure the amount of water in the bilge is minimized. See Bilge pumps and draining.
When loading the boat, never exceed the maximum permitted load stated on the builder’s plate.
Always load the boat carefully and distribute the load so that the boat’s design trim angle is not compromised (even keel).
-
Avoid placing heavy objects high up.
Any change in the distribution of weight could significantly affect the boat's stability, design trim and performance.
Contact your boat dealer if you are planning such a change.
