Caution
Test the fire extinguishers regularly!
Train yourself as regards fire fighting.
Always obey seaman’s duty!
2.8 Anchor (option)
The bower anchor (plough anchor), about 21 kg, hot-galvanised, is known for its high holding power. It lays
ready-to-fall in the bow fitting. The chain has a length of 50 m and a nominal thickness of 10 mm. It is run
out by an electric anchor windlass operated with a remote control. The remote control is placed in the chain
locker before use and its function is activated at the switch board.
Furthermore it is recommendable to have a stern anchor as well as sufficient mooring- and towing lines with
the necessary strength on board.
1 stern folding anchor (4-fluke grapnel anchor), 12 kg, hot-galvanised, fixed at the aft guard-rail. 6m chain
forerunner, thickness 7 mm, 34 m polyamide anchor rope, 18 mm, 3-strand hawser laid. It is stored in the
port transom seat.
The rope is cleated aft.
2.9 Engine cooling system
Engine cooling
The engine has got a two-circuit cooling system. Water enters through the sail drive, is led to the heat
exchanger and then injected into the exhaust gas pipe. Together with the exhaust gas the cooling sea water is
exhausted via the silencer and the exhaust pipe at the stern. This guarantees a trouble-free engine operation.
Moreover the engine noise is reduced.
All hose connections of the system a secured with double stainless steal clips.
2.10 Exhaust gas system
The yacht is fitted with a “wet” exhaust gas system, i.e. cooling sea water is injected into the exhaust gas
elbow causing a cooling of exhaust gases. This mixture is led down into a silencer/water lock, runs through a
pipe in the locker seat on the starboard side of the aft cabin, is led upwards at the stern and escapes to the
side above the water-line.
The exhaust gas hose consists of a synthetic rubber material with an integrated steal spiral.
The hose is heat-resistant (for some time) and should be checked and replaced if necessary.
A constant flow of sea water has to be guaranteed. The hose is secured at its joints with two clips.
If there is an interruption of the sea water flow, the temperature sensor in the exhaust gas hose will release an
visual and acoustic warning. In this event you should stop and switch off the engine immediately until the
problem has been settled (see manual of the engine manufacturer).
Attention
•
Check and clean the sea water filter in regular intervals, depending on
the water quality.
•
Before starting the engine make sure that the cooling water inlet is
open.
•
Have a short look into the engine room for possible leakage.
•
When the engine is running it is highly recommendable to check
regularly if cooling water is escaping with the exhaust gas.
•
If the sea-cooling water cycle precipitates, the optical and acoustic
warning responds. Turn in this case engine off immediately and check
the cooling system.
