The deck and cockpit is a single-unit fibreglass moulding surfaced with gelcoat. The deck and horizontal section is moulded in a sandwich of endgrain balsa to give additional stiffness. A non-skid finish is moulded into the working areas of the deck. 5.4 STEERING AND RUDDER The yacht is fitted with pedestal steering and wheel, a radial driver turned by the wheel through a cable system, clamped to the rudder post and through bolted.

Fine tuning while sailing Tuning at the Dock or While Moored All turnbuckles should be equipped with toggles at their base as supplied be CS Yachts to eliminate any bending load on the swage and turnbuckle threads, including both ends of the forestay.
The mast should now be checked for rake. Rake is the angle, either forward or aft, from vertical. Forward rake is to be avoided. In calm conditions, if possible, hang a weight on the main halyard shackle and suspend it just above the deck.

7.2 Transmission All necessary data and information about the transmission are fully detailed in the engine manual. To avoid damage to the gears and increase clutch life, the engine should always be at idle speed when shifting into forward or reverse gear. 7.3 Propellor Shaft The propellor shaft is supported at the inboard end by the shaft coupling and at the outboard end by a P-Bracket containing a bearing for 1"...
7.6 STUFFING BOX The stuffing box is located at the inboard end of a fiberglass tube passing through the hull. The stuffing box should be inspected on a regular basis. The fiberglass tube and the stuffing box are connected by means of a flexible rubber held in place by hose clamps. If there is only a slight drip no adjustment should be made to avoid seizure.

any marine yard familiar with this type of work. 7.10 Removal of Propeller For both solid and folding propellers, a propeller puller is required which can be purchased at any marine dealer. Procedure for Removal of a Martec Folding Propeller Remove all cotter pins from pivot bar for blades and shaft.
corrosion protection and should be checked for its strength before winter lay-up. FUEL SYSTEM Fuel Tank The fuel tank is filled via a deck filling plate marked "Fuel" on the starboard side alongside the cockpit. After filling ensure that the plate is screwed in firmly to prevent any water seepage into the fuel.
Most engine manufacturers do not recommend that batteries be changed with this switch while the engine is running. But CS Yachts installs a splitter and therefore it is safe to switch to the alternate battery while the engine is running.
Engine Instruments - consists of a standard Westerbeke panel comprising of tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature, ampmeter and start. In addition, CS Yachts fit a rheostat switch for the binnacle compass and manual pull stop for engine shut-down. Owners should refer to these instruments when the engine is running.
(h) With folding propellers, excessive vibration may occur when the engine is put in forward gear. This is usually caused by one blade of the propeller not opening. When this occurs, slow down the engine, shift gear into reverse and accelerate engine. This usually opens the propeller.
MAINTENANCE Yachts in good and safe condition need frequent maintenance on a regular basis. Such frequency depends on type and condition of use. The running and standing rigging, engine, winches, lights, head, bilge and surface finishes should be checked on a regular basis. When sailing in salt water all deck hardware should be washed down with fresh water after each sail and the yacht should be hosed down at least once a week in salt-water locations.

Use masking tape to tape around the area to be patched so gelcoat will contact only the area to be repaired. The catalyst to be used with the gelcoat should be a Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide 60% active oxidizing agent. This material can be obtained from most marine hardware stores. Caution should be exercised with the material as it is highly toxic and flammable.

The neoprene seals on the hatches may need to be replaced after prolonged use and exposure. 13.4 Teak Exterior teak on your CS yacht has been reduced to a minimum for obvious maintenance reasons. Only your companionway hatch and the optional cockpit table is solid teak. Teak exposed to the elements will develop a dull grey appearance if not frequently oiled with marine teak oil.
Page 20
Check that all pulpits and stanchions are free of cracks, dents and are properly secured to the deck. 13.7 Winches, blocks and Handles Periodic maintenance of winches is recommended to insure the proper operation. Most problems with winches occur due to poor and improper maintenance. Winches should be flushed with fresh water after use in a salt water environment.

13.9 Running Rigging Running rigging defines all the gear that is used in handling and trimming of sails, such as sheets, halyards , guys and vangs. Main and genoa halyards are stainless steel wire and are subject to heavy loads and constant flexing as they pass over sheaves at the head of the mast and turning sheeves or turning blocks at the foot of the mast.
Page 22
13.11 Engine The engine manuals of your yacht cover the maintenance of your engine and should be read carefully. IMPORTANT NOTE: Once the engine is started, it may take several minutes in cold water until it reaches full operating temperature (175°~190°) and should not be put under load to prevent corrosion.
13.14 Upholstery The upholstery from the standard CS Yachts selection is material of synthetic fibres, either 100% nylon or a combination of nylon and rayon. These materials -have been chosen because synthetic fibre is not as subject to mould or mildew caused by a marine environment. Dyes used in the material have been selected so as to be as colourfast and sun-resistant as possible, but extreme exposure to direct sunlight or water may cause discolouration.

should also be available . Sailboats cannot be picked up well on radar, thus the radar reflector is a must for bad weather. These should be purchased commercially and stored carefully to prevent damage since the accuracy of the angles on the reflector are most important. 14.10 Anchor The type of anchor carried will vary from region to region according to bottom conditions.

After engine has reached operating temperature, shut down and change oil if necessary Check propeller shaft alignment 15.3 Stepping The Mast CAUTION: Ensure that there is no possibility of contact with overhead electric power wiring, telephone lines or other obstructions when lifting and stepping the spar, as damage or fatal injury may result.

the mast. Make a 1/2" diameter tie-down line from the sling to the lower end of the spar, ensure there is no interference with release of the standing rigging once the mast is stepped. Ensure that the weight of the spar is not carried by the spreaders or other mast hardware a lot when the mast is raised to a vertical position.
WINTER LAY-UP AND STORAGE 16.1 Unstepping the Mast Before removing the spar for winter storage, make a diagram of the location of the running rigging and the connections of the electrical wiring to serve as a guide when the mast is restepped.
Page 29
CS Yachts do not recommend that the yacht be stored with the mast left stepped. This places additional strains on hull and rig, not normally encountered when the craft is in the water.

the rig in place, will not be entertained as a valid warranty claim. 16.4 Winterizing Procedure Scrub down the bottom to remove any marine growth and grease. Wash down deck and topsides. All gear that may be damaged by cold or dampness such as clothing, life jackets, books, etc.

The pump-out deck plate is in the anchor well bottom and the vent on the stem head. It is good practice to flush out the tank with fresh water at every pumpout. Pump holding tank dry, flush thoroughly and pump dry again. When flushing out, a deodorizing cleaner should be added before pumping out.
Page 32
Open the inspection ports in the water tanks and clean out and dry the tanks. Place some baking soda in an open glass container and place in the tank for the winter. Close the inspection ports once the tanks are cleaned. When the entire system is drained the bilges should be pumped dry and sponged clean.
