[. . . ] The weight of a motor, fuel tank, or other gear in the stern increases the risk. Do not anchor by the Stern!! · · · · · · Secure the anchor line to the bow cleat at the point you want it to stop. Bring the bow of the vessel into the wind or current. When you get to the spot you want to anchor, place the engine in neutral. When the boat comes to a stop, slowly lower the anchor. Do not throw the anchor over, as it will tend to entangle the anchor. When all anchor line has been let out, back down on the anchor with engine in idle reverse to help set the anchor. When anchor is firmly set, use reference points (landmarks) in relation to the boat to make sure you are not drifting. Check these points frequently. Anchoring a small boat by the stern has caused many to capsize and sink. The transom is usually squared off and has less freeboard than the bow. In a current, the force of the water can pull the stern under. The boat is also vulnerable to swamping by wave action. 12 NORTHSTAR MANUAL 7. SPECIFIC MANUALS Your owner's manual is provided in a water resistant bag. In this bag, you will also find manuals relating to some of the equipment installed on your boat and extra stickers for your switch panel. Please familiarize yourself with the equipment by reading their manual before you use your boat. Consult your dealer if in doubt about any equipment. Boating is an activity, which interacts with the environment. It is our responsibility to be wary of the environmental risks and take precautions to prevent any damage to it. When refueling, take all precautions to prevent spillage. Fuel and oil spillage into water contaminates the environment. Never discharge, fuel, oil or other inorganic substance. Remember that overfilling a fuel tank will cause spills from the air vent of the tank. Also, contaminated bilge water will pollute the waters - do not discharge contaminated bilge water unless you are required to do so due to safety reasons.
