ownership to you.
1.1 Boating Experience
If this is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with,
for your own comfort and safety, ensure that you obtain handling and operating
experience before assuming command of the craft.
Any boat dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you of
local sea schools, or competent instructors
Regardless of the craft's seaworthiness and its certified design category, protection from
freak sea and wind conditions cannot be guaranteed. Beware of offshore winds and
currents. The ability, experience and fitness of the crew, therefore, should be taken into
consideration before making any voyage.
1.2 Responsibility
It is the boat owner/operator's responsibility to:
1 Know the limitations of your boat;
2 Follow the rules of the road;
3 Keep a sharp lookout for people and objects in the water;
4 Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions will correspond to the design
category of your boat and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in these

oily it becomes.
4.2 Electrical System
ALWAYS......
•Check battery and charging system condition before going to sea
•Disconnect and remove the battery when the craft is in winter storage (cold weather
areas) or long term storage
NEVER........
•Work on the electrical installation while the system is energised;
•Modify the craft's electrical system or relevant drawings: installation, alterations and
maintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrical technician;
• Alter or modify the rated current amperage of over-current protective devices;
• Install or replace electrical appliances or devices with components exceeding the rated
current amperage of the circuit;

Danger
Only fit ignition protected, marine parts to replace such items as starters,
distributors, alternators, generators, etc.
Warning
Do not use jump leads in the petrol engine/tank space or carry out any
activity that could create sparks.
Warning
Protective terminal covers, such as rubber boots on electrical connections,
must be in place at all times except when servicing equipment.

4.2.1 DC System
The direct current (DC) electrical system derives its power from the series of batteries
listed below. The batteries supply the components listed in tables below which show the
settings of the overload protection breakers/fuses.
The DC system consists of the following circuits:
The battery selector switch is located at: Main DC Panel Board Location:

N/A
To remove the battery cables:
1 Turn off all items drawing power from the battery.
2 Turn the battery switch to the OFF position
3 Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable. To replace the cables, first
replace the positive cable, then the negative.
Caution
Ensure that the battery space is well ventilated at all times.

66 Highfield Park, Wargrave, Reading. RG10 8LE. UK Tel: +44(0)1189 401 041 Mobile: +44(0)7860 224 007
Caution
When charging and (dis)connecting a battery ensure that no water or
metal objects can contact the terminals.
Battery Disconnection
Battery selector switch location: N/A - only one battery
Disconnect switch location(s): See table of batteries.
Batteries should be disconnected when not in use and especially while the boat is
unattended.
Essential service such as electric bilge pumps are wired directly to the batteries and will
run even if the battery disconnect switch is open.
Caution
Do not disconnect all batteries while the engine is running; alternator
and wiring damage could occur.
Battery Maintenance
1. Check the fluid levels in the cells (if appropriate for the battery type) approximately
every 4 weeks, and weekly in summer and hot zones.
2. The fluid level must be between the lower and upper markings.
3. Replenish only with distilled water. Do not use metal funnel.
4. Coat battery terminal clamps with silicone grease.
5. Keep batteries clean and dry.
6. The life of some battery types is shortened if drained to zero charge. It is
recommended that a battery not be discharged more than 50%. If the battery does
become run down, recharge it as soon as possible.
7. Running the engine to recharge the battery may not be effective. The alternator
only creates charging power at higher engine speeds, idling for long periods will not
generate enough power to recharge the battery.
8. If you need to charge a battery, use only a battery charger designed to charge
automotive/marine batteries. Use charger only when batteries are disconnected
from the boat's electrical circuit. Follow the charger instructions.
9. If your boat will not be used for several weeks remove the batteries from the boat
and connect them to a charger.
4.3 Fuel System
The craft has: Portable
Petrol fuel system
The following components are supplied by the fuel system:
