  • Page 86 GENERAL INFORMATION TYPE OF MOTORISATION Your vessel is fitted with a gasoline-powered outboard engine. Transmission type is: sail-drive. PRECAUTIONS OF USE, OPERATING ADVICE General point - In this vessel, do not install an engine with a greater power and weight than that recommended, this will create a danger for its stability.
  • Page 87 DANGER - Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank filling. - Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed) compartment are well cleared. WARNING - The tanks' nominal capacity cannot be fully used due to the load and the need to maintain the correct trim PRECAUTION - Never run the engine when the boat is hauled out.
  • Page 88 EPA version (United States Environmental Protection Agency) - The maintenance of the complete petrol circuit system must be done professionally every year.

Engine water intake valve The engine water valve is essential for the engine operation.
  • Page 91 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.
