FUEL SYSTEM
Your yacht is equipped with an internal fuel system meeting current
federal requirements. The best materials and components available
are used to assemble the fuel system.
The fuel tank outlets to the engines have a manual valve for fuel
shutoff in the event of a line break. To access the manual valves or
tank fittings, open the fuel access hatch. The valves are on the top of
the fuel tank. These valves are attached to the fuel tank outlet and
return lines. The valves are closed when the handle is perpendicular
to the fuel line, and open when the handle is in line with the fuel line.
Fuel fill caps are located on the deck walk-around of the yacht. Near
the fill cap is a vent which allows air to move in and out of the tank as
the fuel level changes.
All fuel system components must be checked before each boating
season and regularly during the season for any leaks or bad hose
conditions. Make sure the fuel system is leak-free.
STEERING SYSTEM
Your yacht is equipped with a fly-by-wire type steering system. There
are no mechanical connections from either the steering wheel or the
joystick to the IPS drive system. The connections to the IPS are made
electronically, sending signals through wires that control the direction
of thrust from the helm, based on the position of the steering wheel or
joystick. In an emergency, steering can be controlled by using the
throttle controls to operate one engine at a time in order to change the
direction of the yacht.
WARNING
Inspect the entire fuel system regularly. Leaking fuel
and fumes can catch fire or explode, causing injury or
death.
CAUTION
Fuels that are blended to contain more
than 10% ethanol may damage your
engine, oil system or fuel system and
should not be used in marine engines.
Fuels that contain more than 10% ethanol
can corrode metal parts, deteriorate
rubber and plastic, or weaken gaskets.
Damages caused by the use of fuels that
contain more than 10% ethanol are not
covered by your warranty.
E-15
WARNING
DO NOT operate your yacht if you suspect a problem
with the steering system. Have your Cruisers Yachts
Dealer inspect the steering system if you suspect a
problem. Operating the yacht with a malfunctioning
steering system could cause injury or death.
