disconnecting when unstepping the mast.
Keep all connectors and junction as high as possible off the hull bottom, including electronic
equipment, to prevent them from coming in contact with water.

Consult your docking plan for proper location and position of other than standard through hull
fittings if required after the completion of the yacht. (see detail No. 11)
11. CONTROLS
11.1 General
Engine Controls - the throttle and gear shift levers are mounted on the steering pedestal--
throttle to starboard, shift to port. The stop pull is mounted alongside the engine instrument
panel. For instructions on engine starting, see Westerbeke Technical Manual, page 17 for W3-
and page 8 for W33
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. Operating figures are laid down in the
Westerbeke Technical Manual.
11.2 Starting and Operating a Diesel
(a) Turn the main battery switch to either #1 or #2 position. (Do not- use the "BOTH" position
unless both sets of batteries are low. When the batteries are unevenly charged, selecting
"BOTH" will result in the more highly charged battery discharging into the lower one. When
engine is not running switch to ONE or TWO for DC services and keep one battery fully charged
for starting the engine.
(b) Check that engine water intake valve is open.
(c) Check that gear shift lever is in neutral and fuel throttle is half open.
(d) Push in key and hold for approximately 5 time clicks (15-20 seconds), then turn key fully
clockwise and start the engine.
(e) Check that the oil pressure gauge registers (50-70 p.s.i); check the exhaust port for water
discharge of engine coolant. If oil pressure gauge does not register or water is not being
discharged, shut down engine immediately.
(f) While the engine is warming up, monitor oil pressure and water temperature gauges. If
normal operation is not indicated, shut down engine and consult the manual for trouble shooting
suggestions
(g) Close throttle until engine idles at low (approximately 800-1000 rpm) before moving gear
lever into forward or reverse position.
