Page 5 A BENETEAU is made to last, in order to bring you all the pleasure you expect from a vessel over a period of many years. Each boat is subject to the utmost attention to detail from the design stage right through to launching.
Page 6 This manual has been produced to help you enjoy using your boat in all safety. It contains the details of the boat and of all the equipment provided and installed on your boat, as well as the instructions for their use. Read it carefully and really get to know your boat before using it. This owner's manual is not in any way a navigation or mariner's training manual.
Page 7 Notes on reading this manual The various symbols used throughout the manual for crucial safety information are as follows: DANGER Indicates the existence of a serious inherent danger with a high risk of death or serious injury if the appropriate precautions are not taken. WARNING Indicates the existence of a danger which could lead to injury or death if the appropriate precautions are not taken.

Page 63 DC INSTALLATION (12 V OR 24 V) 8.2.1 Battery use and distribution General points The boat is equipped with a direct current electrical system. The boat's electrical system comprises service batteries and the engine battery or batteries. The service batteries serve as the power supply for all the boat's electrical components.
Page 64 Maintenance - Avoid charging batteries to a voltage greater than 14,6 V. - All work carried out on a battery must only be carried out by someone qualified to do so. - Keep the batteries clean and dry. Whenever working on a battery, wear safety - Regularly check that the terminals and connection cables are clean.
Page 65 Maintenance of watertight batteries - This type of battery needs no maintenance and does not produce any gas during normal use. No ventilation is needed. - The optimum temperature for use is between 10 degree C and 30 degrees C. Lower temperatures will reduce the available capacity. Higher temperatures will increase the batteries' self-discharge rate.
Page 66 - Electrically controlled battery breakers: press the switches on the breaker control panel. In the event of electrical failure, it is possible to press down the button on top of the battery breaker manually to activate it. - Turn off all battery breakers before leaving The electrically-controlled battery breakers use very little electricity when they are on: It is imperative to turn off all the the vessel: risk of complete discharging of battery breakers during lengthy absences, to prevent the batteries from slowly and irreversibly discharging.
Page 67 8.2.3 Power distributor - The electronic charge dividers isolate the battery banks from each other and allow the charge to be directed automatically to the battery with the lowest charge. They give the advantage of preventing a drop in voltage. - The charge divider is electronic.

Page 175 14.6 ANTI-SIPHON VALVE - The function of the anti-siphon valve is to inhibit the siphoning action when the engine stops thus preventing a return of water. - It is possible that on starting the engine or at certain engine speeds some drops of water may be seen escaping from the anti-siphon valve. If so you need to clean the anti-siphon valve: dismantle the water collector at the top of the anti-siphon valve, then clean the valve with fresh water to remove any impurities.
Page 176 14.7 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.
