    BENETEAU 50 X) GAS SYSTEM Gas Stove The boat is delivered without any fire extinguisher.

  • Page 39: Xiii) Handling

    BENETEAU 50 XIII) HANDLING Contact your BENETEAU dealer for the maintenance and repairs of your boat. He will advise properly, will supply you with the spare parts you need or the materials that are suited to your boat. Have your boat examined and maintained once a year during the winter storage.

  • Page 40: Xiv) Maintenance

    BENETEAU 50 XIV) MAINTENANCE Because you have chosen to invest your money in a recreational item that spends its life in a harsh environment, it is very important to ensure that your boat is well and regularly maintained. Furthermore, a fair number of accidents are due to negligence and the lack of maintenance. These two reasons (the protection of your property and safety) must make you become aware of the importance of a regular and thorough maintenance of your boat.
  • Page 41 BENETEAU 50 The Outside Teak Woodworks : Scrub the woodworks using water. The teak woodworks do not need any particular protection. If you just rub them down with fine sandpaper, it will renovate the look of the teak. Plexiglass: Rinse with fresh water. Clean them using a sponge and a cleaning product for windows.
  • Page 42 BENETEAU 50 5) SAILS Whenever it is possible, rinse the sails with fresh water and let them dry. The sails cannot stand the sun and water ; therefore, unrig them whenever you can or at least protect them, using appropriate covers.

  • Page 43: Xv) Environment

    BENETEAU 50 XV) ENVIRONMENT Do not pour to the sea the oil you have just drained, use appropriate waste tanks. When you fill up the engine tank, take all the precautions in order to avoid the hydrocarbon overflowing. In the harbour, do not use the heads on board if they are not equipped with holding tanks.
