Moreover the rudder head-cover has to be removed and the emergency tiller to be mounted and secured.
You can brake or even fix the steering wheel by turning a screw home. Make always sure that this brake
is not drawn especially when sailing with the auto pilot. This would mean an overload for the electric
motor.
The socket of the steering gear is integrated into the deck’s form. On the socket there is the casing of the
wheel hub. A chain is laid over a tooth-wheel of the hub.
2.4. Bilge pumps, bilge pipes
The chain locker is made watertight against the yacht. It is self-bailing through two holes in the skin.
All
BAVARIA
yachts have got a self-bailing cockpit, too. Water in the cockpit runs by the abaft trim to
the back through the aperture.
2.4.1 Description of the pumping arrangement
The yacht is equipped with both a manual pump and an electric bilge pump. The main line bilge suction
has a capacity of 75 l/min.
A draw bucket is an ideal means for bailing out water . It should always be ready in a
cockpit seat locker.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave your yacht for a longer period. Valves being not
clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room, should only be opened before use and
closed short after.
Warning
In a serious situation, e.g. in case of a heavy inrush of water as a consequence of a
collision, the pumping capacity might not be sufficient. Take measures for damage
control with collision mats or other suitable means.
Components of the bilge pumping installation:
see pic. 2.1.3
Attention
Please ensure a suitable bearing lubrication of the necessary parts of the
rudder installation with water-proof lubricants (or Teflon).
Bearing clearance has to be avoided and can be adjusted at the top bearing.
The post must have no clearance but should not need heavy movements
.
Note
In case of spherical valves a transverse lever-direction indicates:
CLOSED
and a longitudinal ones means : OPEN
Maintenance note
The tightness of ducts should be inspected regularly.
Retighten all hose clips and the stuffing boxes of valves
