  • Page 5 The whole BENETEAU team welcomes you aboard. 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 91 10.6 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 92 10.7 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.
