Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 19 (51) 1. Hand-operated bilge pump 2. Rainwater drainage valve Image: Boat drainage system. The owner of the boat is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one bailer or bucket on the boat and that it has been secured. WARNING! Always keep the drainpipe shut when its inboard end is constantly below the waterline due to loading. The shut-off flap on the transom only prevents water from entering the boat when reversing! 1. Shut-off flap 2. Drain plug 3.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 20 (51) NOTE! Make sure that water can flow unobstructed through the drainpipe. Debris such as autumn leaves may obstruct the water flow, which can cause the boat to fill with water and sink. The bilge pump system does not work in conditions below 0°C. NOTE! There is always some condensed water in the bilge. A small amount of water may also come through the hull through fittings, especially as the boat ages.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 21 (51) Do not stow any loose items under the aft seat that could prevent fuel flow to the engine if they shift. This is particularly important for items that may press against hoses or the fuel filter. Check the fuel hoses annually for wear, especially at through fittings. Please note that depending on the trim of the boat or the boat’s heeling angle, it might not be possible to use the full capacity of the fuel tank. WARNING! 5.7.2 Vaporised fuel is highly explosive.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 22 (51) Remember: - NOTE! never hinder access to safety equipment, for instance the switches to the electric system; never hinder access to fire extinguishers located in a box; never make alterations to any of the boat’s systems (especially the electricity or the fuel systems) or allow an unqualified person to make alterations to any of the boat’s systems; and never smoke while handling petrol or gas. Always keep the bilge clean and regularly check for any fuel leaks.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 5.8 23 (51) Main power switch and fuses Electric circuit fuses are located under the main power switch. Do not change the fuse amperages or install any components that exceed the nominal amperage of the circuit in the electric system. Operation of the main power switch: - turn handle clockwise - turn handle counter-clockwise -> circuit engaged -> battery disengaged from circuit Image: Main power switch and circuit breakers.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 24 (51) NOTE! Never cut the power from the main power switch while the engine is running, as this may cause damage to the engine’s electrical system. NOTE! Never install electric equipment on the boat with the power switched on. NOTE! When you install additional equipment in the boat, use an Extra circuit and a separate circuit breaker (sockets F5 and F6 for circuit breakers). Connect the device to both the live wire and the ground wire.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 25 (51) steer the boat with that arm, because the emergency switch line may get caught on the wheel in sharp turns. NOTE! The engine will not start if the emergency switch is not attached to the switch on the remote control. DANGER! A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a swimmer or a person who has fallen overboard. Always use the emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or water skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water. 5.9.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider WARNING! 26 (51) Waves reduce manoeuvrability and make the boat heel. Accordingly, reduce speed when encountering heavier seas.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 27 (51) 5.9.5 Starting the engine 1. Switch the power on using the main power switch. 2. Lower the engine to the driving position by pressing the Power Trim button on the gear/throttle handle. 3. Check that the gear/throttle handle is in the neutral position and that the emergency switch is attached to the bottom of the remote control. 4. Switch on the current, using the start key, without starting the engine and wait a few seconds for the warning lights to light up. 5.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 28 (51) When running at low speed, a planing boat’s directional stability is poorer than at higher speeds. So be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats. You must learn the rules of traffic on sea lanes and follow the international regulations on how to avoid collisions at sea, COLREG. Navigate with care and use new or updated nautical charts.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 29 (51) departing easier, as the wind or current will push the bow out from the dock. The easiest way to depart is to first push the stern as far away from the dock as possible, and then slowly reverse away from the dock into open water. The propeller is designed to have the best grip in forward gear. Therefore, propeller performance is weaker in reverse. The steering response is also not as good in reverse as in forward gear. WARNING! The boat is fast.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 30 (51) 5.10 Proper use – other recommendations and guidelines 5.10.1 Man overboard It is always a serious situation when someone falls overboard. Rescue procedures should be practised in advance during good weather, because it is too late for practice when someone has actually fallen into the water. It is always easiest to help a person climb back on board at the stern of the boat. A rope loop attached to the boat helps lifting.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 31 (51) 5.10.4 Anchoring and mooring the boat Always moor your boat carefully, even in sheltered places, because conditions can change rapidly. Mooring lines should be equipped with absorbers to dampen any jolts. Please refer to the section on Towing for the location of bollards. To prevent abrasion, use fenders that are large enough. The loop at the bow of the boat is for locking the boat to trailer. The loop on the deck is for locking the boat (to a dock, for instance).
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 32 (51) Image: Attaching the towline to the bollards. WARNING! When towing, the towline is under high tension. If it should break, the end that snaps off may lash back fast enough to cause serious injury or death. Always use a thick enough line and keep to one side of the towline. NOTE! When towing another boat or being towed, always drive at low speed. If the boat has a displacement hull, never exceed hull speed while towing. (the speed before the boat rises to plane).
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 33 (51) Image: Attaching the boat to the trailer. Tie the boat properly before beginning transport. The sling ropes at the bow should be directed down and back, and the sling ropes at stern should be directed down and front. Do not leave any loose equipment or extra load on the boat when it is being transported. Remove the seat cushions and close all hatches properly. The engine should be in the driving position during transport.

Only use reputable lifting companies or boat yards with sufficient lifting capacity. In addition to the boat’s tare weight (please refer to the technical specification), also take into consideration accessories and other possible loads in the boat.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider Have your engine serviced according to the instructions in the manual.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 6.1 36 (51) Washing and waxing the boat Cleaning fibreglass surfaces Normally it is sufficient to just wash and wax the deck. Special boat cleaning agents are most suitable for the purpose. Do not use strong solvents; they can cause glossy surfaces to fade. Mildly abrasive polishes can be used to remove chafes and embedded dirt from the deck. The boat's aluminum and fibre glass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 37 (51) Protecting the aluminium hull When the aluminium hull is completely clean and dry, it can be protected against oxidation. Spray Star brite Aluminum Polish on the surface to be treated and spread it out with a soft, lint-free cloth. We recommend that you treat your new boat with Star brite Aluminum Protectant before launching it to prevent oxidation of the aluminium surfaces.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider NOTE! 38 (51) Wet cushions should not be placed in storage, because they gather mould easily. The press studs of the seat cushions should be sprayed with silicon spray every now and then, otherwise they may become so tight that the fabric will tear when trying to open them. The warranty does not cover ripped seat cushions. Use very little silicon spray at a time in order not to stain the cushions. 6.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 39 (51) 6.6 Care instructions for the remote control Normally, the remote control needs no other maintenance apart from greasing and calibration during winter servicing. If the remote control becomes stiff for any reason, it needs to be serviced immediately. 6.7 Care instructions for the steering system The hydraulic steering does not require maintenance under normal circumstances. If the steering starts to feel loose, there is a leak somewhere in the system.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 40 (51) WARNING! Be careful when handling the hardening agent. If the hardening agent vessel/bottle leaks, or some agent drops onto a dirty floor or rag, there is a very high risk of the surface catching fire. Do not throw into the rubbish bin any rags or vessels containing topcoat / hardening agent mixture. Always use protective eyewear when handling topcoat or hardening agent. If you get hardening agent in your eyes, immediately rinse with tap water and then consult a doctor.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 41 (51) the ropes in fresh water. Replace any worn ropes. Leave bushing valves open. Remove the drain plug for the winter. Electronic instruments are best protected against oxidation and theft by detaching them and removing them to a dry indoor environment for the winter. Detach the batteries and store them in a warm, dry place. Charge the batteries at least twice during the winter. Spray the couplings of the electrical system with an appropriate water repellent antioxidant.
Yamarin Cross 57 Bow Rider 42 (51) When the boat has been launched you should open all hull bushings and check to ensure that there are no leaking hoses or connectors.
