J/105 <strong>Owner</strong> Guide ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 8 Getting Started With Your J/105 Generally, your dealer or commissioning yard will help you prepare your boat before launching. And in most instances they will undertake the entire commissioning job. They are experts in the field and are capable of completing most commissioning tasks. Before Proceeding Before you begin to assemble your new boat you should become familiar with the different sail control systems and associated hardware. All running rigging and loose deck hardware items are shipped from the factory in parts boxes complete with part inventory sheets. To help you properly install these items please refer to the rigging and hardware sections and diagrams in this guide. Commissioning Checklist -‐ will help you double check that the J/105 is assembled properly and all systems and rigging are functioning properly. If a boatyard other than an authorized J/Boat dealer is performing the work, review this list with them to establish what needs to be done and by whom. Topsides -‐ wash off all dirt and grime accumulated from delivery. Use only non-‐abrasive cleansers on the gelcoat. Then apply a coat of high quality car or boat wax to prolong the life and sheen of the gelcoat. Bottom -‐ Bottom preparation is critical to long-‐lasting enjoyment. To ensure a professional finish, carefully review the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for preparing the bottom. Be sure that there is a healthy amount of epoxy primer (using paint manufacturer build-‐up recommendations) to cover the keel PRIOR to final coating of bottom paint. Chainplates -‐ are custom manufactured of polished stainless steel. Shroud chainplates are mounted directly to the main bulkhead. The backstay chainplate is bolted to a reinforced area of the transom. Toe Rails -‐ toerails are included at the deck edge forward of the mast and in the cockpit for the helmsman aft of the wheel. Stanchions & Pulpits -‐ are designed for proper offshore safety as well as to facilitate access to the boat. Optional are lifeline gates to port and starboard. The (3) standard stern lifelines are equipped with quick release Pelican hook fittings. All stanchions are 1” diameter stainless steel and are secured into their bases with machine set screws. Lifelines -‐ The upper and lower lifelines are 5/32" 1x19 wire in accordance with ORC safety regulations. They run the length of the boat and are fastened at either end by stainless forks and turnbuckles. Each lifeline is clearly marked for easy installation. The installation is as follows: • Insert all stanchions into the sockets provided along the edge of the deck. Secure each stanchion in place by tightening the two screws in each base. We recommend that you dip the screws in blue Loctite or sealant before securing, so they don’t work themselves loose over time.

Remove the eyes at the ends of the lifelines and thread them through the stanchions. If the boat is equipped with the optional lifeline pads, thread the lifeline through these prior to attaching to the stern rail. • Finish off the job by tightening the turnbuckles, and taping off the turnbuckle “split rings” (or cotter pins) for a secured finished appearance. Skylight Ventilation Hatches -‐ are made of extruded anodized aluminum and scratch-‐resistant acrylic cover. The hatch comes equipped with a ventilation position and 180 degree articulation. Fixed Ports & Optional Opening Ports -‐ are made with extruded aluminum frames and smoke colored acrylic. The optional opening ports can maximize interior comfort and cross-‐flow ventilation. There are four fixed standard ports and two optional opening ports to replace the aft fixed aluminum ports. DO NOT PERMIT ACETONE OR OTHER HARSH CLEANSERS TO GET ON PORTS OR HATCHES AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE FINISH & CLARITY OF SOME DECK HARDWARE. Deckhouse Handrails -‐ Stainless handrails are standard for secure maneuvering on deck and ease of maintenance. Winches -‐ Standard winches are aluminum self-‐tailing models from Harken. The location of these winches facilitates sailing with one or two aboard. Each is geared to match the load requirements of the specific task. Standard Steering System The steering system is carefully engineered to provide finger-‐tip control. This is achieved by utilizing high quality Jefa rudder bearings. The rudder itself is made of unidirectional glass, with two molded halves bonded together, and a highly reinforced fiberglass shaft. It's engineered to withstand tremendous shear loads for storm conditions. Standard Tiller -‐ is a molded, composite part bolted to a custom stainless steel tiller head mounted to the top of the rudder shaft. The Spinlock adjustable hiking stick is attached on the forward end of the tiller to enable the helmsman improved visibility sitting further outboard. Optional Wheel Steering System Pedestal & Wheel -‐ is custom molded fiberglass. Inside the "compass cowl" is a standard Lewmar sprocket that is connected to a chain and 7x19 wire to the custom aluminum quadrant. Adjustment to this linkage is achieved by a set of turnbuckles connected to the steering wire. These can be accessed through the lazarette locker to starboard of the rudder post. Wheel is a Lewmar wheel with an elkhide cover. Rudder Stock Seal -‐ is located at the top of the lower rudder bearing. It is a simple flexible boot type design that prevents water from entering the hull. If tiller steering is installed, the fiberglass rudder tube is continuous between the hull and the deck.
