Owner`s manual

(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. Slow the engine down to idle and shift into forward gear.

(i) It is advisable to let the engine warm-up to full operating temperature (175O~19OO) before

applying full engine power to avoid excessive engine corrosion.

NOTE: When sailing, it is always wise to start the engine before lowering the sails. Should the

engine not start one is still able to manoeuvre the yacht safely.

11.3 Engine Shut-Down

(a) Close the throttle to slow idle, shift gear into neutral. Pull out engine cut out knob. When

engine has come to a complete stop, turn key switch off.

(b) If engine is not used for longer periods, the engine water intake valve may be closed, but is

not absolutely necessary.

12. ACCESSORIES

12.1 How to Install Through Hull Fittings

Consult with your local

marine dealer for correct positioning of the through hull.

(a) Drill a hole to accommodate the size of the through hull fitting.

(b) For strength purposes, provide a small back-up plate, such as marine plywood with the

same hole diameter. Line up the holes and embed the back-up plate in sealer, allow to dry and

glass into place using mat and resin.

12.2 How to Install Deck Fittings

Ensure that deck reinforcement is provided where additional winches are to be located such as

winch island mounts.

The cabin ceiling panels are removable and access holes to be drilled through the wood panel

ceiling for access to bolts securing the winch.

Winches usually do not require back-up plates but flat washers, lock washers and nuts are

required. All penetrating bolts for winches, tracks and cleats should be embedded with silicone

sealant.

All deck fittings which are under load, such as, chain plates and inboard genoa tracks, should

be checked annually for leaks and resealed with marine sealant if leaks are detected.
