Launching Recommendations - BENETEAU OCEANIS 58 Owner's Manual

L
AUNCHING RECOMMENDATIONS
A lot of skill and care is required to commission your BENETEAU boat. The proper working of all your boat's
equipment is the result of the quality of the commissioning operations.
In order to remain completely under guarantee in the case of any failure of parts or materials the first
launching and the first trials of different equipment must be carried out by your BENETEAU dealer.
If later you have to launch your boat yourself, you should take the following precautions:
B
EFORE LAUNCHING
- If your boat is to be fitted with sounder and speedometer, allow for the relevant fittings and their
installation.
- Check the water intake strain box for cleanliness.
- Check the engine and reduction gear oil levels (refer to engine manual).
- Turn off the engine cooling water drain valves.
- Retract the speedometer into its housing (it may be damaged by the handling belts).
- For the on-line engines, check the anode at the end of the shaft is in place. Check the nut tightening (the
lock washer shall be turned over onto the nut). The anode shall not be painted.
- Turn off all the water inlet and drain valves (sink, washbasin, heads, engine).
H
ANDLING
- Install a fore rope, a rear rope and fenders.
- When craning, check that no device is crushed by the belts (sounder, speedometer, shaft, etc.).
- Locate the strap positions using the stick-on markers. The belt position will be useful during the craning
for a future launching.
