Stability and buoyancy

Because of the hull shape and the balanced distribution of mass, the stability of
Buster boats is excellent. You should bear in mind, however, that large breaking
waves are always a risk to the stability of the craft.
Please also note that any load placed above the floor level reduces the boat's
stability and may increase the risk of capsizing. Placing loads on the roof of the
cabin (in models with a cabin) is prohibited without exception. Any change in the
distribution of mass may affect the boat's stability, design trim and performance
significantly. Please contact the builder if you are planning to make modifications
that change the craft's mass distribution. In models with a cabin, the original
interior arrangement and mass distribution may not be altered without the builder's
authorisation.
The amount of water in the bilge should always be kept at a minimum as freely
moving water always reduces stability.
Also bear in mind that towing or being towed may reduce the stability of the craft.
Buster models XXL, XL, XL Pro, X, Lx, Lx Pro, L, M, S, XS and Mini are equipped
with floats that carry the load specified in Section 5.4 even if the craft is flooded.

Engines and fuel systems

The Buster Magnum Pro, Magnum, XXL, Cabin, XL, XL Pro, X, Lx and Lx Pro have
a fixed fuel tank installed in the bilge approximately 1 metre from the transom.
Buster models L, M, S, Scc, XSR, XS and Mini have detachable fuel tanks. Stop the
engine and extinguish any naked flames and cigarettes before filling the fuel tank.
Do not operate any electrical equipment while filling the fuel tank.
In models with a fixed fuel tank, the filler cap (
deck. In Buster models X, Lx and Lx Pro the filler cap is visible. In other models
it is located beneath a rope box lid that can be locked. Detachable tanks must be
removed from the boat for filling to prevent the spilling of fuel into the bilge in case
of overfill.
If you refuel your boat at a petrol station, do not use a plastic funnel that prevents
the static charge between the pistol and the filler hole from discharging. After filling
the tank make sure no fuel has leaked into the bilge or the engine compartment and
clean any spilled fuel immediately (see Fuel tank volume; Appendix 1: Technical
specifications).
Buster models L, M, S, Scc, XS, XSR and Mini can accommodate a detachable fuel
tank under the rear seat. Buster models L and M can accommodate two tanks, the
other models one. Do not store spare tanks in unventilated spaces or unsecured.
Equipment that contains fuel must not be stored in compartments not designed for
the purpose.
