5.2.3 FUEL SYSTEM
Separate tanks
Smaller YAMARIN boats use separate fuel tanks, which are normally delivered together
with the outboard engine. The YAMARIN 4730 has compartments for two separate tanks. In
general the fuel hose connections are by bayonet joints, so that the separate tank is quite
easy to disconnect and refill at a service station while the boat remains in water (see chapter
about refuelling).
Separate fuel tanks also normally include a fuel meter and a breather valve, which should
also be opened at least when the engine is running in order to let out excessive pressure
from the tank and to aid duel intake.
5.2.4 Steering system
A steering wheel is required in all boats with an engine power of over 15 kW (20hp/NBS).
All Yamarin boats in this size category feature a steering kit with cables as standard
equipment. The steering cables delivered as standard equipment are suited for a steering
guide system of engine.
WARNING!
Both steering wheel and steering system must meet the requirements of the
CE standards. This is made sure by using original Yamarin spare parts.

5.2.5 Electrical system
When a boat uses an electrically started engine of 15 kW (20 hp) or more, it normally
needs an electrical system using a battery of its own.
