Kvar motora: što učiniti kad ostanete bez pogona

Posljednja provjera: 14. listopada 2026.

Korak po korak

1. Prsluci za spašavanje, zatim procjena

   Neka svi obuku prsluke za spašavanje. Zatim pogledajte kamo vas nose vjetar i struja te koliko su blizu obala, stijene ili brodski promet.[1][2][3]

2. Spustite sidro

   Ako ne možete ponovno pokrenuti motor, a voda je dovoljno plitka, spustite sidro s pramca da zadržite poziciju. Kao pravilo, ispustite konopa ili lanca pet do sedam puta više od dubine vode.[4][5][6]

3. Provjerite drži li sidro

   Pratite nepomične orijentire na kopnu ili GPS poziciju. Sidro može zaorati pri jakom vjetru ili struji pa plovilo zanese ili se nasuče.[7][8]

4. Preduboko ili prevalovito? Plutajuće sidro

   Ako ne možete usidriti, spustite plutajuće sidro s pramca da plovilo drži pramcem prema valovima. U nuždi može poslužiti i kanta.[9]

5. Pozovite rano uz PAN-PAN

   Ako ste zasad sigurni, pošaljite PAN-PAN na VHF kanalu 16. Rana obavijest daje spasiocima vremena i može biti presudna za dobar ishod.[4][10][11][12]

6. Prijeđite na MAYDAY ako opasnost postane ozbiljna

   Ako vas samo što nije nanijelo na stijene ili preplavilo, ili je nečiji život u opasnosti, pritisnite DSC gumb za pomoć i uputite poziv MAYDAY na kanalu 16.[13][14][15][16]

7. Provjerite jednostavne uzroke

   Ako je sigurno, provjerite osnovno, poput goriva. Nestanak goriva jedan je od najčešćih razloga zbog kojih nautičari zovu pomoć.[17][18]

8. Učinite se vidljivima

   Ako trebate pomoć, a nemate radio, koristite signale za pomoć: neprestano dižite i spuštajte ispružene ruke, dajte neprekidan zvučni signal ili ispalite signalne rakete kad vas netko može vidjeti.[19][20][21]

9. Nastavite slušati

   Držite radio na kanalu 16, pričekajte odgovor i slijedite upute spasilaca.[22][23]

Nemojte

• Ne sidrite s krme. Valovi mogu preplaviti plovilo.[24]
• Ne čekajte da budete u lomu valova da biste pozvali. Problem u nastajanju prijavite rano uz PAN-PAN.[11]
• Ne ispaljujte signalne rakete kad ih nitko ne može vidjeti. Sačuvajte ih za trenutak kad postoji izgled da budu viđene.[21]
• Ne koristite kanal 16 za razgovor ili provjere radija. On je za pozive u pomoć, hitnost i pozivanje.[25][26]

Prije isplovljavanja

• Prije isplovljavanja: provjerite motor, razine tekućina, gorivo i kaljužu te za gorivo primijenite pravilo trećine (trećina za odlazak, trećina za povratak, trećina pričuve).[27][28]
• Nosite sidro s dovoljno konopa za dubine u kojima plovite. Na maloj brodici vesla su zamjenski način kretanja.[5][29]
• Recite nekome na kopnu kamo idete i kada ćete se vratiti.[30]
• Nosite VHF radio, po mogućnosti s DSC-om, i znajte kako uputiti pozive PAN-PAN i MAYDAY.[31][32]
