PREFACE
Dear owner of the Finnish Buster boat! We thank you for choos-
ing Buster and hope you have many enjoyable experiences on
board.
The purpose of this handbook is to help you use your boat safely
and with peace of mind. The manual includes details of the boat
itself, the equipment and systems installed in it as well as infor-
mation related to operating and maintaining the boat. We urge
you to read this manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the
boat before starting to use it.
Naturally, the owner’s manual is not a primary source of seaman-
ship skills or boating safety. If Buster is your first boat or you have
changed to a type of boat that you are not yet familiar with, for the
sake of your comfort and safety, make sure that you acquire han-
dling and operating experience before you take on the responsi-
bility of command. The seller of the boat, a boat club or national
motorboat and yachting associations will be happy to provide you
with information about local boating schools or recommend com-
petent teachers.
Make sure that the prevailing wind and sea conditions correspond
to the design category of your boat and that you and your crew
are capable of handling it under such circumstances. The wind
conditions and sea swells corresponding to design category C
cover situations from a gale to heavy winds with an exceptional
risk of high waves and gusts. In such dangerous conditions, only
a competent and fit crew can satisfactorily operate a well-main-
tained boat.
This owner’s handbook is not a detailed guide to maintenance
and fault diagnosis. If a problem occurs, contact your nearest
Buster dealer. If there is a need for repairs, use only enterprises

recommended by the Buster dealership. Alterations that affect
the safety characteristics of the boat can be carried out only on
the written approval of the manufacturer. The manufacturer of the
boat cannot be held responsible for changes it has not approved.
In some countries, driving a boat requires a license or the author-
ity to drive. Country-specific regulations may also be in force.
Always maintain your boat in good condition and bear in mind
the consequences of wear resulting from ageing, rough treatment
and improper use. Any boat, no matter how strong, can be signifi-
cantly damaged by improper use. Inappropriate boating habits do
not accord with safe seamanship. Always adapt the speed and
course of your boat in relation to the conditions at sea.
If your boat is equipped with a life raft, carefully read the oper-
ating instructions. The boat should have appropriate on-board
safety equipment (life jackets, safety harnesses etc.) that cor-
responds to the boat type and the weather conditions etc. In
some countries such equipment is mandatory. The crew must be
familiar with the operation of all safety equipment and emergency
manoeuvres (rescuing a man overboard, towing etc.). Rescue
exercises are regularly organised by sailing schools and clubs.
All persons on board must use an appropriate flotation aid (e.g.
lifejacket/life vest) when on deck. Note that in some countries
the law demands that flotation aids be used at all times when on
board.
STORE THIS HANDBOOK IN A SAFE PLACE AND HAND IT
OVER TO THE NEXT OWNER WHEN YOU RELINQUISH THE
BOAT.

BEFORE DEPARTURE…
Read this Owner’s Handbook thoroughly.
Always check the following before departure:
• Prevailing weather conditions and the weather forecast
Assess the wind conditions, the state of the sea and visibility. Is
your boat’s design class, size and on-board equipment as well
as the skills of the helmsman and crew sufficient for the water-
ways you intend to use?
• Load capacity
Do not overload the boat. Distribute the load properly. Do not
position heavy objects too high, so as to diminish the stability of
the boat.
• Passengers
Make sure there are life vests for all persons on board. Before
departure, agree on the duties each person is responsible for
during the trip.
• Fuel
Check that there is enough fuel on board, including enough re-
serve for bad weather etc. The amount of fuel on board should
exceed the necessary amount at least by 20% in case of un-
foreseen circumstances.
• Engine and equipment
Check that the steering, electrical devices and the battery func-
tion properly and are in good condition. Carry out the required
daily engine inspection procedures in accordance with the en-
gine manufacturer’s instruction manual. Check the seaworthi-
ness of the boat, i.e. no fuel- or water leaks, adequate safety
equipment on board etc. Check that the level of bilge water is
at minimum.

ENGLISH
• Ventilation
Ensure the fuel space is ventilated to minimise the risk of fire.
• Securing on-board equipment
Ensure that all articles are stowed properly so that they remain
in place in a heavy sea and in a high wind.
• Sea charts
If you are not fully acquainted with the route, be sure to take
charts that cover a sufficiently large area.
• Manoeuvring during departure
Plan with the crew who is responsible for casting off each rope
etc. Ensure that when departing and arriving, mooring or other
lines do not get entangled in the propeller.
For further instructions on the engine, see the manufacturer’s in-
struction manual.

1 General
The owner’s manual will help you become familiar with the char-
acteristics of your new boat. Instruction manuals for equipment
fitted to the boat are attached and are frequently referred to. You
can, of course, complement this handbook by acquiring other
equipment instruction books. Space is reserved at the end of the
handbook for notes.
2 Definitions
The warnings and specific remarks in this handbook are defined
as follows:
DANGER!: Indicates grave danger highly likely to lead to death
or permanent injury if appropriate precautionary ac-
tions are not taken.
WARNING!: Indicates danger likely to lead to injury or death, if ap-
propriate precautionary actions are not taken.
ATTENTION!: Is a reminder to operate in a safe manner or to be
aware of dangerous operation methods that can lead
to injury or damage to the boat or its parts.
The units of measurement used in this handbook are in accord-
ance with the SI system. In some cases, other units have been
included in parenthesis. An exception to this is wind speed, which
is designated in Beaufort scale as in the EU directive on recrea-
tional craft.

ENGLISH
3 Warranty
The guarantee is provided for the boat and any equipment that
has been installed in the boatyard in accordance with the en-
closed warranty conditions. The respective manufacturers of
engine, trim tabs, compass, possible navigation equipment and
other post-production installations are directly responsible for any
warranty concerns of the devices in question. The separate war-
ranty cards and contact information of the manufacturer of these
devices are enclosed. For other matters of warranty please con-
tact the Buster dealer indicated on the cover of this handbook.

4.1 Registration
In many countries, it is mandatory to register even small motor
boats. Contact your local authorities for the information on the
registration requirements of your country. There is usually a mini-
mum age for operating a registered boat and the operator might
need a special boating license.
4.2 Insurance
The boating insurance might compensate for damages on water
or during transportation and dry-docking. Check the insurer’s li-
ability for hoisting the boat. Insurance also affect the safety on
board indirectly: in case of a serious accident you may concen-
trate on saving the people. Insurance companies will provide
more information on different insurance alternatives.
