General Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Marine Revolution Smartwave boat. This manual has been

compiled to help you operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the craft; the

equipment supplied or fitted systems and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it

carefully and familiarize yourself with the craft before using it.

If this is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, for your own

comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before assuming

command of the craft. Your dealer, national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise

you of local sea schools or competent instructors.

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SECURE PLACE AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER WHEN

YOU SELL THE CRAFT.

The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS

INVOLVED! Please pay particular attention to the corresponding section in this manual

and around the craft.

A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid

damage to the boat, engine or crew.

Failure to follow WARNINGinstructions could result in severe injury or death

to the boat operator, crew or bystander.

Safe Boat Handling;

Always wear an approved life jacket.

Do not operate this craft at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or

in weather and sea conditions of reduced visibility, high winds or large waves. Reduce

speed and wake as a courtesy and as a safety consideration to yourself and others.

Observe and obey speed limit and No Wake Zones.

Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG

Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid

collisions

Ensure the crew and load is distributed throughout the boat evenly to maintain safe

operational trim.

Boat Loading and Trim

It is imperative the operator uses common sense when loading the boat/seating

crew to achieve a safe and level trim. The positioning of the seats and capacity does not imply in any

way that is safe to use the seating provided in every instance. Particular care should be taken when

Marine Revolution Smartwave SW4800 Owner’s Manual

Page

positioning weight at the stern or bow of the boat is this may lead to swamping or dangerous handling

characteristics.

Man-overboard Prevention and Recovery (BS EN ISO 15085)

Re entry at the stern of the boat is recommended if the vessel is in the swamped condition

NOTE:

This boat does not require any specific device to re-board, due to its characteristics.

The boat, in light craft condition according to ISO 8666, has a minimum freeboard less than

500 mm, so needs only one handhold, suitably located to allow re-boarding, with consideration of

the boat's stability.

The recommended re-boarding method was demonstrated during the stability tests. Pictures are

below:

Drink and drugs

Be sensible about drinking alcohol, as it will impair your judgement. Consider it as irresponsible for a

skipper and crew to be in charge of a powerboat under the influence of alcohol as it is for the driver of

a car. Beware of the side effects of any medication which may impair judgement and reduce the

effectiveness of the person concerned.

Environmental considerations

Polyethylene thermoplastic is fully recyclable, an important feature in a world where we are conscious

of our impact on the environment

Safe handling practices should be observed when handling fuel, oil and cleaning agents to avoid

contaminating the environment.

Remember, that wake and wash produced by your craft can cause erosion to shore lines. Always

observe the speed limits in restricted areas.

During refueling or re oiling operations on or off the water, please avoid any spillage, and ensure that

nothing is discharged into the water or drains

(BS EN ISO 11592)

Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power larger than that posted on the

capacity label of the craft.

Engine Trim:

Using the power trim unit or the manual trim pin setting, ensure the boat is trimmed

correctly at all times. The boat trim will vary with crew/load position. Improper trim can

lead to engine ventilation/cavitation or dangerous handling characteristics.

Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high

speed. The craft may lean over and instability may result. Use negative trim to accelerate

to planning speed from displacement speed and at lower planning speeds in choppy water

(applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim)

Anchoring & Towing

(ISO 15084)

Responsibility: It is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to ensure that mooring lines, towing lines,

anchor chain(s) anchor line(s) and anchor(s) are adequate for the vessel’s intended use, i.e. the lines

or chains do not exceed 80% of the breaking strength of the respective strong point. Owners should

also consider what action will be necessary when securing a towline onboard.

Where non-metallic strong points are installed, their limited lifetime shall be taken into consideration.

They shall be exchanged once they show any signs of deterioration, visible surface cracks or

permanent deformation.

Replace strong points showing visible signs of deterioration.

Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the hull speed of a displacement

craft when being towed.

A towline shall always be made fast in such a way that it can be released when under

load.

It is advised to always carry an anchor of suitable type and size with sufficient warp to anchor in your

operational area and holding ground.

When towing the craft, ensure the craft is restrained onto the trailer using the towing eye at the bow

and tie down straps near the stern. It is not recommended the trailer winch is used to restrain the

craft at any time.

It is imperative to use an “approved” and correctly sized trailer when removing your Smartwave Boat

from the water for inspection, transportation or storage. Use of any other trailer or transportation

without the use of an outboard engine support bracket may void the boat warranty.

Smartwave Boat trailers are constructed using runners to support the boat and avoid point loading

associated with rollers. Do not leave your boat on blocks or on the trailer unmoved for long periods of

time.

Marine Revolution Smartwave SW4800 Owner’s Manual

Page

If your boat is kept on the water it is beneficial to periodically slip your boat in order to inspect the hull

and any fittings, equipment, etc.

Do not use the tilt support lever or rely on the hydraulic tilt to support the outboard when trailering

the boat. The outboard can shake loose or the hydraulics may fail causing the motor to fall.

The outboard motor should be trailered and stored in the normal running position. If there is

insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the outboard motor in the tilt position using a

motor support device such as a transom saver bar.

Bilge pumping system (ISO 15083)

It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to have at least one bailer/draw bucket on board, secured

against accidental loss

If your craft is fitted with an electrical bilge pump, please note the location of the switch on the helm

switch panel. The manufacturer’s manual will be supplied. Please refer to this manual for specific

operation and maintenance information.

Electrical System

Never:

- Work on an electrical installation which is connected

- Modify an installation and the corresponding wiring diagrams unless this is carried out

by a qualified marine electrician.

- Disconnect the terminals or turn the battery switches off while the engine is running, as

it could result in damage to the engine.

The typical Smartwave SW 4800 electrical circuit is described below.

Engine Cooling System

Ensure water is coming out of the “water check port” every time the engine is started. If

no water is coming out the nozzle, stop the engine immediately and inspect of

blockages/faults.

Refer to manufacturer’s manual supplied.

Fire Extinguishing System (ISO 9094-1)

Boats with outboard motor of more than 25 kW shall carry one or more portable fire

extinguishers with a minimum combined capacity of 8A/68B

General Requirements;

•Any portable fire extinguisher is readily accessible

•If the portable fire extinguisher is located where it is exposed to water spray, the extinguisher

operating nozzle and triggering device is shielded, unless the extinguisher is certified or listed

for marine service.

•The extinguisher may be stowed away in a locker or other protected or enclosed space. The

locker or opening part of the enclosed space door shall carry the appropriate ISO symbol.

Fire extinguishers and fire blankets must be checked and maintained in line with manufacturers'

recommendations. Make sure they are stowed correctly and fully accessible and that every crew

member knows when and how to use them. Check fire extinguisher pressure and expiry date.

Fuel System

•Gasoline is highly flammable and it’s vapors are flammable and explosive.

•Regularly check your fuel system for any leaks or signs of wear or damage.

•Use care when transporting the fuel tank, whether in the boat or car.

•Close the air vent and fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking when in storage or transportation

•Do Not fill the fuel container to maximum capacity. Gasoline will expand considerably as it

warms up and can build up pressure in the container. This pressure can cause leakage and a

potential fire hazard.

Your craft will be supplied with an engine manufacturer’s external fuel tank.

Please refer to the engine owner’s manual for specific fuel system information.

An additional fuel filter/water separator may be installed on the transom. This is a metal can, spin on

type filter element. It is recommended this element is changed annually or more frequently with heavy

use.

Location of through-hull fittings

1 x drainage bung located at the stern of the boat in the deck sump.

This is to drain the deck of the boat whilst out of the water and during storage.

A second bung is located 25mm above the keel and is used to drain water from between the hull

skins. This should not be removed. Please contact Marine Revolution for further details.

Marine Revolution Smartwave SW4800 Owner’s Manual

Page

Ensure both drain bungs have been secured before launching the boat

Steering System

Your Smartwave SW 4800 may be fitted with a cable or Hydraulic steering system. The steering shaft

running through the engine tilt tube should be lubricated periodically to ensure smooth and trouble

free operation. If at any time the steering becomes stiff to operate, please have a qualified service

engineer inspect the system.

Crew Safety

This boat does not require any specific devise to re-board due to its characteristics.

Re entry at the stern of the boat is recommended and demonstrated in pictures on page 4.

Additional Safety information

Lifebuoys

You may wish to carry a lifebuoy onboard for additional safety.

Lifebuoys are a safety aid that can be thrown to a man overboard (MOB) casualty. A lifebuoy should

be mounted where it can quickly be thrown overboard. It should be marked with the boat's name and

retro reflective tape and fitted with a drogue to prevent drifting, a whistle to attract attention and an

automatic light (projecting a continuous beam) or a strobe. Length of floating line can also be fitted

to aid in the retrieval on the causality in choppy conditions.

Throwing lines

A throwing line should be carried for instant use on deck, regardless of whether the boat is fitted with

a lifebuoy. The brightly coloured floating line is coiled inside a throwing sack, with a wrist-loop or

handles to retain the pulling end. Achieving a long distance throw with good accuracy requires

practice.

Safety Checks

•Make sure everyone onboard knows how to use a life jacket, flares and operate the radio in

case of an emergency

•Check your vessel is in good order before you leave

•Someone onshore is aware of your journey and times of arrival and departure

•Check the weather

•Everyone has warm and waterproof clothing

•Check the engine is in good working order and has been maintained in accordance with the

manufacturers handbook

•Make sure you have enough fuel for your journey and spare fuel

•Carry an alternative means of propulsion like oars and the anchor and warps are in good

conditions

•Make sure you have enough lifejackets and emergency flares

•Be sure all fire extinguishers are in date and ready for use

•Check your radio equipment is operational

•Check you have food and water and some spare in case you have to spend more time at sea

than you planned.

Marine Revolution Smartwave SW4800 Owner’s Manual

•Make sure you have a first aid kit and know how to use it.

Seasickness

Seasickness strikes down many a sailor; even a hardened seafarer will feel the effects at times. Its

effects are dangerous if the crew becomes too incapacitated to maintain proper control of the boat:

•Seasickness medication works for some people and should be taken well before the trip.

Check the instructions for possible side effects, which may include drowsiness.

•Don't get cold and wet. Dress up warmly and take a spell at the wheel to occupy your mind.

•If a crew member feels sick, the skipper must decide if it is necessary to seek shelter before

the problem gets worse.

•Get someone to help if you need to be sick. The boat may stop, but there may still be an

unpleasant motion. Hanging over the side is potentially dangerous. The safest and easiest

solution may be to use a bucket in the cockpit.

•Do not continue on an empty stomach. Dry toast, bread or plain biscuits are all good fill-ups.

You must drink plenty of water to offset dehydration.

Maintenance

General care and cleaning

Top quality virgin grade polyethylene is used in the manufacture of this boat, which contains powerful

ultra violet stabilizers designed to survive in harsh environments. Polyethylene is impervious to

osmosis, corrosion, rot, and rust, and has no gelcoat or paint to maintain.

Wash down using a mild environmentally friendly detergent is recommended after use in salt water.

Avoid using oily or abrasive substances. Read labels and instructions carefully to avoid products that

could damage polyethylene or other plastics. DO NOT use products that contain phosphates, chlorine,

solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum based products. Citrus-based cleaners are excellent for

marine cleaning purposes, and are safe to use. Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not

discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure to work in a well ventilated area

For engine care /maintenance refer to the manufacturers recommendations

Repairs to hull/deck

Minor abrasions

These can be lightly scraped or sanded back and the surface heated/flamed to restore to a shiny

finish. Use a hair dryer or hot air gun to gently heat the area and restore the finish. Be careful not to

over heat and deform the plastic or scorch the surface.

Major Repairs

The polyethylene thermoplastic construction means it can be repaired by Plastic Welding.

Small indentations can be repaired by applying heat to the area and gently returning the plastic to it’s

original shape. In many instances minor dents will come out if left in a warm area or in the sun due to

the plastics memory effect.

Please contact Marine Revolution or your local dealer for further details.
