1B6: Dinghy & Davit
The boat is equipped with a 12-foot,
center console A-B tender which is a
rigid-Hull, inflatable-pontoon boat and is
fitted with a Tohatsu 40
horsepower two-cycle electric
start-and-tilt outboard motor
and portable fuel tank. For
environmental considerations
and easy fueling, the motor
uses direct oil injection;
you
do not mix oil with the fuel,
but you should be sure the
lube oil tank on the front of
the engine is topped off
before use.
The dinghy has a fixed center wheel and upholstered aft
seat and removable forward seat. It is equipped with an electric
bilge pump, built-in fuel tank, automatic bilge pump, trim tabs,
VHF, and Fish Finder.
The davit system uses a stainless steel mast to hoist the
dinghy, using a hoist winch operated by a control that plugs in
when needed. The control is stowed in the helm console cabinet
to port of the helm. The battery switch located under the aft
saloon seat must be on.
See 4.5, paragraph2 regarding water in
the dinghy’s bilge!
