The first commissioning of a yacht is essentially the start of its life, and the importance of proper commissioning procedures at this time cannot be overstated. The commissioning procedure must be performed by Beneteau dealer personnel or those authorized by them. The owner also needs to concern himself with items such as safety equipment, which is considered to be his responsibility.
10.2.2. Machinery Inspection Make an overall inspection of the machinery spaces. Ensure that they are free of • loose material that might interfere with machinery operation, and then check the following items: Engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant levels satisfactory. •...
5. Fire extinguishers ** Medical kit • ** Spare parts and tool kit • 10.3. * POST-LAUNCH CHECKS 10.3.1. Hull Inspection Make an overall inspection of the hull interior. Check bilge areas for evidence of • major leaks near thru-hulls, and then make the following specific checks: Open all thru-hull seacocks.
Loosen the transmission to shaft coupling bolts enough to slide a feeler gauge between the coupling plates. Measure the gap all around the coupling to ensure the gap is constant. If the gap varies, raise or lower the corners of the engine at the engine mounts until a constant gap is achieved.
10.3.5. Fresh Water System Check the following: 1. Water tanks full, no leaks at tank, fittings or vent hoses. 2. Pressure water system operational. 3. All faucets operational 4. Sinks and drains operational. 5. Hot water system operational. 6. All showers operational. 10.3.6.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BOAT Your boat represents a sizable capital investment that needs special and regular care Safeguarding your investment and looking after your own safety should persuade you of the importance of careful and regular upkeep of your boat. The maintenance suggestions in the following sections will help you with the basics.
11.2. MINOR GEL COAT REPAIRS To fill in a scratch or small dent, order a Beneteau Gel coat Repair Kit with instructions for use, from your dealer or obtain a small quantity of gel coat and catalyst. Clean the affected area and rub it down with wet-and-dry sandpaper, then dry it off thoroughly (use a hair-dryer if necessary).
Should the woodwork become damaged, gently rub it down with very fine sandpaper and touch it with several coats of the varnish. Your dealer will be able to order Beneteau varnish. When this is dry, rub it down with a very fine wet-and-dry sandpaper (grade 800 or 1000) and finish off with polish (or a silicone spray) or wax.
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR BATTERY USE. Keep battery connections clean and tight. A cup full of strong baking soda solution and a toothbrush will clean corrosion from the terminals and neutralize any spilled acid (do not allow any of the solution to enter the battery cells). A coating of petroleum jelly or silicone grease on the battery terminals will inhibit corrosion.
Water temperature, salinity, the presence of neighboring boats, the nature of the bottom and the materials in the dock will all affect the life of your boat' s anodes. Order your spare anodes thru your dealer or from Beneteau Customer Service. 03/02/07 9:08 AM Rev.
CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. 11.10. SAILS Check the sails regularly, as the slightest wear in the stitching or at a reinforced part can very quickly have dramatic consequences.
The following sections are oriented towards hauling your boat for winter storage in a cold climate, but they are also a good guideline as a lay-up procedure for your Beneteau in any climate.
12.5. FRESHWATER SYSTEM This system is best winterized with one of the non-toxic antifreezes available for use in boat and recreational freshwater systems. It is an easy method, which replaces fresh water with a non-toxic antifreeze mixture. Caution! Be sure to use correct non-toxic antifreeze. Allow the hot heater water to cool, and open the pressure release valve on top.
Prior to hauling the boat, run the engine to achieve normal operating temperatures in order to open the thermostat. Close the raw water intake thru hull and remove the hose from the valve hose barb. Insert the intake hose in a bucket of antifreeze solution and run the engine briefly until all raw water is flushed thru the exhaust system and only the antifreeze solution is expelled from the exhaust.
12.13. STOVE Depressurize the gas system and close all valves. Clean stove thoroughly. Remove fuel tanks and clean to remove any salt accumulation from their surface. Wipe down stove and tanks with a rag while applying a light layer of WD-40 or other lightweight, protective oil.
