Mootoririke: mida teha, kui mootor seiskub

Viimati kontrollitud: 14. oktoober 2026

Samm-sammult

1. Päästevestid selga, siis hinda olukorda

   Pane kõigile päästevestid selga. Vaata siis, kuhu tuul ja hoovus sind viivad ning kui lähedal on kallas, kivid või laevaliiklus.[1][2][3]

2. Lase ankur

   Kui mootorit ei õnnestu uuesti käivitada ja vesi on piisavalt madal, lase vöörist ankur, et asukohta hoida. Rusikareegel: lase välja ankruliini viis kuni seitse korda veesügavuse jagu.[4][5][6]

3. Kontrolli, et ankur peab

   Jälgi kindlaid maamärke või oma GPS-asukohta. Tugeva tuule või hoovuse korral võib ankur libiseda ja paat triivida või madalikule sõita.[7][8]

4. Liiga sügav või liiga tormine? Kasuta triivankrut

   Kui ankurdada ei saa, lase vöörist välja triivankur, et hoida paadi vöör lainete poole. Hädaolukorras sobib ka ämber.[9]

5. Kutsu varakult PAN-PAN-iga

   Kui oled praegu ohutult, saada PAN-PAN VHF kanalil 16. Varane teade annab päästjatele aega ja võib hea lõpu jaoks otsustav olla.[4][10][11][12]

6. Tõsise ohu korral mine üle MAYDAY-le

   Kui paati on kohe kividele uhtumas või üle ujutamas või kellegi elu on ohus, vajuta DSC hädanuppu ja tee MAYDAY-kõne kanalil 16.[13][14][15][16]

7. Kontrolli lihtsaid põhjusi

   Kui see on ohutu, kontrolli põhilist, näiteks kütust. Kütuse lõppemine on üks levinumaid põhjusi, miks paadijuhid abi kutsuvad.[17][18]

8. Tee end nähtavaks

   Kui vajad abi ja raadiot pole, kasuta hädasignaale: tõsta ja langeta pidevalt väljasirutatud käsi, anna pidevat helisignaali või lase signaalrakette, kui keegi võiks neid näha.[19][20][21]

9. Kuula edasi

   Hoia raadio kanalil 16, oota vastust ja järgi päästjate juhiseid.[22][23]

Ära tee

• Ära ankurda ahtrist. See võib paadi üle ujutada.[24]
• Ära oota abi kutsumisega, kuni oled murdlainetes. Teata arenevast probleemist varakult PAN-PAN-iga.[11]
• Ära lase signaalrakette, kui keegi neid näha ei saa. Hoia need hetkeks, mil on võimalus, et neid nähakse.[21]
• Ära kasuta kanalit 16 vestlemiseks ega raadiokontrolliks. See on hädaliikluse, kiireloomuliste teadete ja väljakutsete jaoks.[25][26]

Enne merele minekut

• Enne merele minekut: kontrolli mootorit, vedelike taset, kütust ja pilssi ning kasuta kütuse kolmandiku reeglit (minek, tagasitulek, varu).[27][28]
• Hoia pardal ankrut, millel on piisavalt liini sügavuste jaoks, kus sõidad. Väikesel paadil on mõlad või aerud alternatiivne liikumisviis.[5][29]
• Ütle kellelegi kaldal, kuhu lähed ja millal tagasi tuled.[30]
• Hoia pardal VHF-raadiot, soovitatavalt DSC-ga, ja tea, kuidas teha PAN-PAN- ja MAYDAY-kõnet.[31][32]
