applying load so that the cheek of the block will not be bent. Sheaves and blocks can be sprayed with a
silicone lubricant to keep them running freely. The sheaves at the head of the mast should be checked
before the spar goes into the yacht at commissioning. These sheaves should also be checked periodically
during the season (this necessitates going up the mast in a bosun's chair) to ensure that they are running
freely and that the halyard is not cutting a groove in the sheave. The sheaves for the main and genoa
halyards have gar-fil bearings which do not require lubrication. All running rigging should be washed down
with fresh water after sailing in salt water.
NOTE : MOST DECK HARDWARE IS ATTACHED BY FASTENING BOLTS INTO
ALUMINUM PLATES FIBERGLASSED INTO THE DECK. THERE ARE NO NUTS ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE DECK TO TIGHTEN. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR TARTAN
DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
12.10 Engine
The maintenance of your engine is covered in the engine Owner's Manual, which should be read
carefully.
Note: Once the engine is started, it should be operated until it reaches full operating temperature
to prevent corrosion. This may take several minutes in cold water.
Before changing the oil, consult the engine Owner's Manual for complete instructions.
Routinely check fuel lines for tightness and integrity. Probably your nose is your best guide here. If
you smell fuel, there may be a leak somewhere in the system. A gentle tightening of each connection
in the fuel line will often solve the problem. If you smell fumes aboard, extreme caution must be taken
to prevent an explosion. Consult a qualified service mechanic immediately.
12.11 Power Train
Details of care and maintenance of the engine and Saildrive are given in Section 6.
12.12 Electrical
The electrical wiring should require little or no maintenance. Exposed terminals and connections
should be checked several times each season and more frequently in saltwater environment. Check
for tightness of the connections and the presence of any corrosion. Connections may be protected
with a light application of spray coating obtainable from an electronics parts supplier.
"
Clean, Dry, Tight" are the three most important factors in battery and electrical maintenance.
