Highfield boat Owner's Manual PDF

These Highfield boats have been manufactured and tested for over 20 years and under the most severe conditions in the world on the Great Barrier Reef of tropical northern Australia.

In the manufacture of RIB boats, the company uses VALMEX® PVC fabrics from renowned German manufacturer Melher or ORCA® Hypalon from France's flagship chemical industry Pennel and Flipo, marine powder coated and heat-treated aluminum grades to provide a smooth and durable coating.

The Ocean Master 520 model is on top of the entire lineup, consisting of three families: the base Ultralite (240 - 260 cm), the intermediate Classic (260 - 380 cm) and the large Ocean Master (350 -520 cm). The boats of the Highfield Ocean Master series are designed for the most difficult operating conditions and, depending on the selected material, are more suitable for a temperate or tropical climate with a high level of ultraviolet radiation.

The Ocean Master 520 offers two inflatable body materials. The first is the low-cost polyvinyl chloride fiber Valmex produced by German Mehler Technologies. The material is resistant to contamination, mechanical damage and sudden changes in temperature. Particularly emphasizes the technology of manufacturing the body by heat sealing, without the use of glue. It allows you to achieve greater strength and ensure a long service life at a relatively low cost.

The second material offered is ORCA from the French Pennel & Flipo. This is an analogue of the hypalon developed by Du Pont and which at the moment is perhaps the most high-tech material used in the manufacture of inflatable boats.

Its main advantages are resistance to destruction under prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, poor combustibility and resistance to mechanical damage to puncture and rupture, resistance to aggressive liquids, oils, fuels and solvents. The Ocean Master 520 casing is made of ORCA material from sizing, however, it is claimed that thanks to its own technology using double laying of joints with neoprene inserts, the casing is no less than that made by heat welding.

The boat Ocean Master 520 has an overall length of 520 mm, an internal length of 4,250 mm. Width overall / internal - 2,200 / 1,200 mm. She can take on board up to 12 people (dry weight - 190 kg, maximum payload - 1,100 kg). One outboard engine is installed, the recommended power is 75 hp.

The package includes lights, oarlocks, a pump, a repair kit, folding seats. For an extra charge - awning. The cost of the boat is not given.
