    GENERAL INFORMATION TYPE OF MOTORISATION Your vessel is fitted with an in-board diesel engine. The transmission is of a shaftline type. PRECAUTIONS OF USE, OPERATING ADVICE General point - In this vessel, do not install an engine with a greater power and weight than that recommended, this will create a danger for its stability.
  • Page 89 DANGER - Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank filling. - Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed) compartment are well cleared. PRECAUTION - Never run the engine when the boat is hauled out. PRECAUTION - In case of an intervention when the engine is running: - Stay away from belts and hot or mobile parts.

Engine water intake valve The engine water valve is essential for the engine operation.
  • Page 95 Fuel filter Engine running problems may have different origins, including dirty fuel. The injection pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from the condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap either not closed properly or with a damaged seal. In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two filters: - One filter is an integral part of the engine, its role is to filter fuel very finely.
