Troubleshooting

For LPG to flow the gas bottle in the forward sail locker, the remote solenoid
control switch in the galley, device yellow shut off valve as well as device
control all need to be on.
If the Gas Control fittings on the BBQ and sometimes stove become stiff the
brass valve fittings need to be lubricated with WD40. Note that these valve
fittings need to be pressed in before turning anticlockwise.
On survey vessels two gas detectors are located under the stove/oven and floor.
These detectors have a small heating coil that sometimes malfunctions with dust
or salt humidity. The coil can be cleared by blowing with air. If the alarm
problem persists the wiring may be disconnected behind its Galley switch panel
and detector replaced.
If the gas solenoid or both gas detectors fail the solenoid may be temporarily
disconnected and bypassed by reconnecting pipe fittings at the gas bottle. The
gas will need to be shut off at the bottle manually when unattended.

ANTIFOULING BOTTOM PAINT

Prior to its first launching, your Seawind 1160 was prepared for antifouling as
follows:
Gelcoat was sanded to remove all traces of mould release wax and to provide a
good key for the next coating.
One coat of Epoxy Resin: Interprotect Epoxy Undercoat.
One coat of ablative Blue antifouling bottom paint: Resene Altex No.5
One coat of ablative Black antifouling bottom paint: Resene Altex No.5
The first antifouling coat is blue and second black so usage may be observed for
your area in the first year of operation.
Altex Marine Paints are distributed by Resene Paints (Australia) Pty Ltd an
affiliate of Pettit, USA.
WARNING: If optional Shore Power or HF Radio is installed an external Earth
Plate will be located underwater on the port hull. This Earth Plate must NOT
be painted over.
