After   fueling,   replace   the   fuel-­‐fill   deck   plate   and   clean   any   spillage.   Check   belowdeck   for   
fumes   and   check   the   bilge   for   fuel   leakage.   If   fumes   or   liquid   fuel   are   present,   correct   the   
situation   before   proceeding.   Open   all   hatches   and   ports   to   ventilate   the   boat.   

IMPORTANT:   In   the   event   of   a   serious   fuel   spillage,   STOP   FUELING   IMMEDIATELY.   Replace   the   
fuel-­‐fill   deck   plate   and   notify   the   attendant.   Wash   all   traces   of   fuel   or   source   of   fumes;   ventilate   
the   boat.   Leave   the   fuel   dock   only   when   you   are   completely   certain   that   a   potentially   dangerous   
condition   does   not   exist.   

Engine   Maintenance   

Check   the   engine,   batteries,   and   engine   mounts   once   a   month.      Ensure   the   engine   is   fastened   
securely   to   the   engine   mount   frames   and   look   for   any   problems,   such   as   fuel   or   oil   spillage.      If   you   
need   help,   consult   a   professional   marine   mechanic   or   a   licensed   Yanmar   repair   mechanic.   

Run   the   engine   frequently   and   at   occasional   high   speeds,   even   if   it   is   not   in   gear.      One   reason   why   
sailboat   engines   may   burn   out   within   a   few   years   is   that   they   are   run   infrequently   and   lubricating   
oil   is   not   thoroughly   and   evenly   distributed   on   all   moving   parts.      Be   sure   to   check   oil   and   coolant   
levels   often.      If   you   have   any   doubts   about   the   purity   of   the   fuel   you   are   buying,   use   a   strainer   to   
filter   out   water   and   dirt.
