Bayliner 175 Uživatelský manuál stáhnout pdf (Strana 2)

3lt MerCruiser. At 135hp (101kW), that’s not a lot

of power by today’s standards, but it’s more than

enough for the boat to deliver good all-round

performance. We didn’t try any towsports on the

day, but were assured the 175 Flight can handle

any recreational tow duties, and other reports I’ve

seen have conrmed that this is, indeed, the case.

TIP-TOP FIT- OU T

The engine is housed beneath a stylish, heavily

sound-proofed cover hinged on gas-assist struts.

The top is shaped to provide a non-skid surface to

reach the boarding platform. There’s also a neat

recess at the front to hold nibbles or other bits

and pieces, while drinkholders are on either side.

Comfortably cushioned quarter seats feature

a stowage compartment on one side, while the

other cushion lifts to reveal a solid surface that

would be useful as a step to the back of the boat.

There’s a full-beam boarding platform across the

transom and a further swim platform extending

aft with a drop-down swim ladder.

The cockpit has small side pockets for stowage

plus a large under-oor compartment for bulky

items. On the port side is a back-to-back seating

arrangement, with the aft-facing seat good for

observing. The forward-facing rst-mate seat

is provided with a glovebox, grabhandle and

drink holder. These seats fold down into a single

sunlounge.

Bayliner uses top-quality marine vinyls for

upholstery and trim panels, and the 175 Flight’s

cockpit oor has a premium carpet that’s

permanently secured rather than being clip-out,

so it looks a bit neater.

The bowrider cockpit has the usual side seats,

with lift-off seat cushions that cover stowage areas.

In front of the windscreen, upholstered backrests

make it comfortable to ride facing forwards, and

there’s enough leg room over the non-skid oor

to sit facing inwards. There are drinkholders and

grabhandles, too.

There’s no anchor locker as such, but one

of the two side lockers would be quite suitable

to hold your ground tackle. A small combined

navigation light is at the stem but, surprisingly,

there are no cleats or bollards for tying off an

anchor line. It would be easy enough to t one

though, and there are cleats amidships on the

topsides, as well as on the transom quarters, for

securing docking lines.

The driving position seats the skipper relatively

low in the boat, but that doesn’t affect good vision

in all directions. A tilt-adjustable wheel can be

set to suit individual preference, giving clear sight

of the gauges in the neat dash panel. The seat is

adjustable, too, and it’s comfortable, although not

offering all that much lateral support and there’s

no ip-up bolster. On the other hand, my legs

had a perfect reach for my feet to brace against

an angled footrest in the recess under the dash

console.

A non-glare grey moulding houses the gauge

cluster, with two large circular dials for tacho and

speedo and various inset analogue dials. It’s quite a

simple gauge arrangement, but it works really well.

Small banks of switches are to either side of the

wheel, with the stereo controls to the right.

ENERGETIC

The 175 Flight leapt away from rest with

more sprightly energy than anticipated. It’s a

good example of not judging performance on

specications alone – the 135hp MerCruiser is

well-matched to the hull and it must have had an

ideal prop choice, for the performance was better

than the power level would indicate.

The prop worked perfectly in turns, too, as

even tight turns yielded pleasing results, with

the hull spearing around in excellent fashion.

The Flight was not sensitive to trim, but the

usual approach of trim-in for initial launch and

then trim-out for optimum ride angle worked

effectively. The hull’s running surfaces gave a soft

ride through wakes and washes and kept the boat

feeling alive for the driver, while retaining a comfy,

safe attitude for the crew.

Happy cruise speeds were anywhere from

3000rpm and around 21.6 knots (40km/h) through

to 4000rpm for 29.7 knots (55km/h). Top speed

was 38 knots (70.5km/h) at 5000rpm. Those

are good performance gures, especially as the

MerCruiser was brand new and still needed a nal

tune. There are no other engine options, so Bayliner

must be very happy with the way this model Merc

ts the bill for the 175 Flight. I think it will prove a

great balance of power and economy for the boat.

The steering is quite light, with just under three

turns lock-to-lock – anyone who goes boating for

the sheer fun of driving will like this one. Plus, it’s

a great overall set-up for anything you’d like to do

on the water, especially watersports. For anglers,

the tower might get in the way of rod action, but

it’s a good shing rig for handlines, too, with plenty

of room to move about. And at that price, this

boat is hard to resist. ¿
