  • Page 66: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION TYPE OF MOTORISATION Your vessel is fitted with a gasoline-powered outboard engine. 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. - Fuel which is stored elsewhere than in the fuel-tanks (portable tanks, jerrycans, etc...) must be kept in a ventilated space.
  • Page 67 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. WARNING - The tanks' nominal capacity cannot be fully used due to the load and the need to maintain the correct trim PRECAUTION - Never run the engine when the boat is hauled out.

  • Page 69 Engine These instructions give detailed explanations on proper operation of the engine. - Refill before the fuel tanks have almost run dry (the fuel system may be stopped for lack of fuel). - Make sure you have enough fuel before sailing. Engine water intake valve The engine water valve is essential for the engine operation.
  • Page 70 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.

  • Page 72 The instrument panel has all the testing functions of the engine and it does not require any special precaution (refer to engine leaflet). Check the clutch and accelerator cables (lubricate the end fittings and forks). VISIBILITY FROM THE STEERING STATION The international regulations to prevent collision at sea (COLREG) and the course regulations make mandatory a permanent and proper surveillance and the respect of priority.
  • Page 73 NAVIGATION: REMINDER OF SOME ADVICE Stability During sailing keep all the portholes, windows and doors closed. - The stability is reduced when you add weight in the upper parts. - Stability may be reduced when towing a boat or when heavy weights are lifted with the davits.
