2.12 Board ducts, sea water valves
Openings below the water line are possible weak spots. That is why we pay special attention to them.
All board ducts in the underwater part, with the exception of the duct for the transmitter of the
echo sounder, consist of brass-made screwed joints with spherical sea valves and hose nipples.
All hose con
nections are secured with two clips each.
For the cockpit drain special plastic joints are used.
Maintenance note
The tightness of board ducts should be inspected regularly.
Check and retighten all hose clips and stuffing boxes of valves if necessary.
Note
In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates : CLOSED
And a longitudinal direction means : OPEN.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave the yacht for a longer time. Valves being
not clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room, should only be opened for
use.
