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.
J/105 Owner Guide ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 33 Plumbing Systems General The plumbing systems in your J/105 consist of fresh water, manual and electrical bilge pumps, and a Raritan head (toilet). This section will describe their locations and how they operate. Manual Fresh Water • Water Tank -‐ is made of polypropylene, is collapsible, and is simple to install. Simply attach the hose from the foot pump to the tank. • Optional Water Tank -‐ Part of the Systems Group package, this 20 gallon tank is made of rotationally molded polyethylene. Entire capacity may not be usable depending upon trim, loading, filling and draining points. Connected to it are the following hoses: a) fill hose -‐ located on the tank top and connecting to the deck water fill pipe; b) feed hose -‐ located along the tank bottom connecting the water system to the manual pumps; c) vent hose -‐ internal and leads under the sheer line into the bow compartment. Thru-‐Hulls & Seacocks All Seacock fittings are Forespar Marelon. For safety reasons, we recommend that you attach with wire or wire-‐tie an appropriate size tapered wooden plug in the vicinity of each of these fittings in the event of a hose or valve failure. The fittings each have valve-‐handles. To reduce confusion, remember the long end of the handle indicates the direction of flow. Please refer to the Seacock and Thru-‐Hull diagram for a complete layout of locations and sizes. Pump Systems Pumps are easy to maintain and just as easily forgotten...they always happen to seize up when you need them most. Consequently, take care to keep their screens clean and rubber gaskets/bellows working correctly. There is one manual and one electric bilge pump system installed standard in the J/105. Two pump intakes are located forward in the keel sump under the main cabin centerline floorboard. • Manual Bilge Pump: The manual bilge pump is installed on the cockpit wall and operated by opening the cover/handle and using an up and down manual pumping action. Bilge water exits the boat from the manual pump through the transom. • Electric Bilge Pump: is wired direct with an in-‐line fuse to the battery switch, so it is always "on." This useful feature helps eliminate any accumulation of water in the bilge. The switch is located near the electrical panel. The switch has three positions: ON, OFF, and AUTO for self tending when you are not on the boat. Bilge water exits the boat from the electric pump through a hose that loops up to a siphon break and then to the overboard through-‐hull fitting under the head sink. • Sink Drains empty directly overboard through a seacock fitting beneath the galley sink.
