2. Installations and circuits
2.1 Tanks and piping - water
2.1.1 Fresh water, drinking water-cold
The yacht has two water tanks with a capacity of altogether abt 360 I.Fresh water is supplied via a water
inlet (with a blue cover) at the transom, port side and on the forecastle near the chain locker. You can take
water from the tank over a hose connection leading to the pressure ,vater-pump.
Th.ispump , realising the complete cold water circulation, is fitted below~ pantry. An interruption of the
operation of the pressure pump is done by cutting off all ducts. All pipes/hoses should be checked for
leaks if the pump continuo us working though all ducts were cut off properly .
The pump is protected by a filter which should be regularly checked and cleaned if necessary.

2.2 Tanks and pipes - fuel
Stora ge tank
There is a 2 10 I plastic diesel iank with an inspection opening on starboard-side below the aft bcnhs. It is
filled via a fuel inlet with a chrome cover (marked with DIESEL) at the transom of the yacht.The tank
pickup is situated on the tank. The supply is made of a fire-proof fuel hose according to ISO7840. The
vent line is led to above deck.
Suppl y of the engi ne
The engine is supplied via a sucnon pipe from the upper edge of the tank. Due to the shon distance a fire
proof fuel pipe is used throughout .Ttus is led via a wide-mes hed filter/ water separator, fuel pump and
fine filter to the engine and then back 10 the tank.
Attention ,
A trouble free operation of the engine and heating is only possible, if the fuel is clean.
That' s why a regular inspection and cleaning of filter/water separator is unavoidable.
The fuel tank should be completely emptied and cleaned once a year.
Warnin g
When refilling the tank:
Switch off the engine, heating and stove !
Do not smoke or use open lights ! 17

2.3 Steering gear
2.3.l Description of the system
The rudder is a suspended, balanced hydrofoil midship rudder . Itis operated by hand fromthe steering
wheels at the steering posts in the cockpit Transmission of power isrealised by means ofrope pulls and
fairleads to the rudder quadrant. With the autopilot (option) there is a electric motor installed.
2.3.2 Rudde r blade and rudder bearings
The rudder blade is a profiled one. lt consists of a FRP-body.The rudder post with a diameter of 60mmis
madeof a sea-water resistant aluminium alloy and is laminated into the blade. The post runs in two easy-
going and special rudder bearings. The rudder is fixed by a mounting clip at the upper end of the post that
also serves for the keeping of the rudder tilter.
The moW1tingclip is additionally secure.dwith a straight stud bolt on the rudder post.
Attention
Check regularly and repafr if necessary:
Tight hold of the mounting clip on the rudder post.
The rudder bearingsused by BAVARIA YACBTBAU are self-setting
bearings. Since rudda- bearingsare subject to wear and tear they should be
inspected and maintainedregularly.
Emergency tiller
The emergency tiller is stored in the starboard locker scaL
In case of emergencyremovethe steering wheel, the rudder quadrant for
rudder bar and/or the quadrant for the auto pilot (option).
Moreover the rudder bead~vcr has to be removed and the emergency tiller
to be mounted and secured.
Attention
Comodo(cStcucmdmltSlt:uc:d(cnc
Comodoro~11cdwilbch&i11
Please ensure a suitable bearing lubrication of the necessary parts of the
rudder insrallationwith water-proof lubricants (or Teflon).
Bearing clearance has to be avoided and can be adjusted at the top bearing.
1bepost must haveno clearance but should not need heavy movements.
, ,
You can brake or even fix the steering wheels by turning a screw home.Make always sure that this brake
is not drawn especially when sailing with the auto pilot. This would mean an overload for the electric mo-
tor .
Thesocket of the steering gear is integrated into the deck's form.On the socket there is the casing of the
wheel hub. A chain is laid over a tooth-wheel of the hub. Both chain pulls are running to the rudder gear
which passes the adjusting force by the rudder bar to the rudder quadrant.
Both chains are tightened each witha rope pull. It is highly recommendable to check these rope pulls
from time to time and to retighten if necessary.
2.4. Bilgepumps, bilgelines
The chain locker is made watertightagainst the yacht. It is self-bailing through two holes in the skin.
AHBAVARIA yachts have got a self-bailing cockpit, too. The drain wells are situated at therear and
lowest part o_fthe cockpit and are led outboard through the transomwith hoses.
2.4.1 Descr iption of the pumping arrangement
The yacht is equipped with both a manual pump and an electric bilge pump. The main line bilge suction 18
bas a capacity of 75 Vrnin.
https://www.boat-manuals.com/

A dr aw bu cke t is an ideal means for bamng out water . It should alw ays be ready in a
cockpi t seat locker.
Attention
Close all sea valves if you leave your yacht for a longer period .
Valves being not clearly visible, like e.g. in the toilet room , should
only be opened before use and closed short after.

1na serious situation, e.g. in case of a heavy inrush of water as a con-
sequence of a collision, the pumping capacity might not be sufficient.
Take measures for damage contro l with collision mats or other suit-
able means.
Note
Incase of spherica l valves a transverse lever-direction indicates:
CLOSED
and a longitudinal ones means : OPEN
Maintenance note
'Theughmess of ducts should be inspected regularly.
Retighten all hose clips and the stuffing boxes of valves

2.5 The electric installation
2.5.1 Th e AC-installation
The yacht has got a shore connecuon (option) by which it can be supplied with electric power from
ashore when being berthed ina port. The plug box ( meeting the CEE-nonn) is installed at the transom of
the yacht. The power is supplied mto a shore connection unit, placed under the cban table.
'- The plug box is operational as soon as the shore supp ly cable has been plugged in. Tt only serves the op-
'- eration of electric machines . , .f
2.5.2 The DC- board net
AJl electric devices aboard are supplied with the 12 V DC. A main-switch is installed in he electric panel
at the chart table. Power distribution is effected by a switchboard above the chart table. The lettering next
to each switch refers to the corresponding consumer.
You can find all the switche s for the 12 V consumers at the switchboard. By this you can operate diITerent
consumer-groups ,being marked with logos or lettering, separate ly. Some of the switches are designed for
aninstallation of additional electric devices. There arc only automatic fuses used. So you only have to
press them in case of a breakdown . Jf a fuse blows repeatedly you should spot the cause or consult a spe-
cialist (electrician) .
2.5.3 Operating the install ation and specific featur es
The combination of an AC- with a DC installation offers a clearly higher comfort but require s some spe-
ciaJ knowledge.
Charging the batteries
All batteries are maintenance-poor and drain-protected . They are charged via a buffer diode by the mo-
19
tor-generator . Charging the starter battery always takes priority to ensure a safe start of the engine.

AC- consumers
The only fixed link is the one to the battery char ger. The safety contact plug-box at the electri c pane l is
designed for electric tools to be used for small repair work.
DC- consumers
The essential consumers are:
navigation lights
engine displays
VHF-radio wiring (option)
devices for comfort
bilge pumps
tank display
electronic device s
Navigation lights have absolute priori ty. In case of a lack of capacity first all other consumers have to be
switched off. By a stand-by operatio n of the engine, even when under sail, the batteries can be brought up
rather quickly. Afte r a while you can switch on the other consumers again .
2.5.4 lmp ort ant warnin gs on the DC-installation
\Yarning
To a,·oid freezing also maintenance-free batt eries have to be re-
charged in winter if their capacity becomes less than 50%.
Once a year all contacts should be checked and protected with a
special spray.
Familiarise yourself with the electric installation in due time to
be able to react properly in case of disturbances.
If a devi ce should fail, check first if it is defective.
Attention
You should never
work at the electric installation if it is in operation ,
alter fuses or overload switche s,
change the electric wiring and/or wiring plans ; this has to be done
by specia lists only,
'
install electric devices or add pan s that exceed the allowed load
limit,
leave the yacht unattend ed with the electric installation in opera-
tion. This does not go for automatic bilge pumps, fire protection
and - alarm device s.
As long as the diesel engine is in oper ation , you must not discon-
nect the 12 V charging circuit.
Before starting a voyage you should always check
the battery voltage ,
the correct function of navigation lights .
Have spare lamps for all navigation lights aboard. 20
