Galley Stove
A 2-‐burner non-‐pressurized alcohol stove is part of the Systems Group Option and is in "ready-‐
to-‐use" condition. It is significantly safer than older pressurized models and is a remarkably fast
heating stove, nearly equaling the heating of home ranges. It can boil a 2 quart pot of water in 8
to 10 minutes. Engineered with high quality stainless steel, it will last for years with proper care.
Be sure to read the stove manufacturer's instructions on use and the filling of its canisters. You
will find it easy to use as long as you follow proper precautions.
To begin stove operation, you must first fill the canisters with alcohol fuel. Inside the canister is
a "wick-‐like" material that absorbs alcohol. Once filled, the alcohol will last three to four hours.
If the stove is not in use for a long period of time, place the rubber seal over the burner opening
to reduce evaporation of the alcohol.
Safety Equipment
You can never be prepared enough for emergencies that may arise at sea. During commissioning
of your J/105, triple check that you have all required safety gear and adequate spares aboard.
Make it a policy to thoroughly brief any first time crew members with emergency procedures
including man-‐over-‐board, fire, and sinking. Please contact your local U.S. Coast Guard office for
up to date USCG safety requirements.
IT IS THE OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO COMPLY WITH ALL FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS WITH
RESPECT TO SAFETY EQUIPMENT; OPERATION OF THEIR VESSEL; AND SAFETY OF ALL PASSENGERS
Maintenance Tips
Even though modern construction has helped reduce upkeep, regular attention should be given
to the maintenance of your boat. This includes the fiberglass exterior surfaces, the interior wood
surfaces, and the mechanical and electrical systems.
A well-‐maintained boat will not only bring you years of enjoyment, but most importantly, will
bring you greater personal pride and joy.
Fiberglass/Gelcoat
Apply a marine wax to the hull topsides at least twice annually to preserve the “factory fresh”
appearance for many years. Be sure fiberglass surfaces are clean and free of salt before waxing.
Abrasive cleansers should never be used for general cleaning as they can severely mar the shiny
gelcoat finish.
Bottom Paint
Keeping your bottom clean is of paramount importance as it not only keeps off bottom growth,
but maintains passage-‐making speed. Even though you have applied anti-‐fouling paint, take a
swim once a month or so (or hire a diver) and scrub the bottom and propeller with a scrub brush
or lightly abrasive sponge pad.
