2.2.1 Engine
CAUTION ! User's manuals for the main engine and the
hydraulic gearbox content safety warnings that must be
respected. Refer to these manuals before use.
Any mechanic or electrical work should be done by
skilled staff, using appropriate tools and equipment.
Warning 1 : some drops of oil could be seen in the bilge below the engine. One must take
this for granted. This is not a symptom of a faulty engine.
Warning 2 : you must run the main engine everyday of sailing for 15 or 20 minutes (in 1 or 2
times) to drain the exhaust circuit (the waves fill in it).
Diesel fuel runs from the racor pre-filter/water-strainer to the engine's fuel filter and then to
the injection pump that feeds the injectors. Afterwards, the fuel overflow returns straight into
the fuel tank (see 2.4.1). On the injection pump, a red handle makes it possible to stop the
engine manually, in case the electrical stop doesn't work.
