INTRODUCTION
Dear Sir/Madam,
Welcome aboard, and welcome to the happy family of BALI 4.8 owners.
This manual has been designed to help you get the most enjoyment out of your boat in safety. It contains
details of the boat, the equipment supplied or installed, and its systems, as well as information on their
use. Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before use.
This Owner’s Manual is not an instruction course in safe navigation or seamanship. If this is your first boat
or if you have changed to a type of boat with which you are not familiar, for your comfort and safety,
make sure you acquire sufficient experience of the boat’s handling and use before taking command.
Ensure that the wind and sea state which is forecast corresponds to the design category of your boat, and
that both yourself and your crew are capable of handlingthe boat in these conditions.
Even though your boat is designed for it, the sea states and wind conditionswhich correspond to design
Categories A, B and C vary from storm conditions for Category A to strong conditions for the top of
Category C, subject to the dangers of abnormal waves or gusts, and as a result, dangerous conditions, in
which only a fit, well-trained, experienced crew, sailinga well-maintained boat, can navigate safely.
This Owner’s Manual does not form a detailed guide to maintenance or repair. In case of difficulty, please
contact the manufacturers or their representative. If a service manual is supplied, please make use of it.
Always use the services of an experienced professional for maintenance, fitting accessories or making
modifications. Modifications which might affect the safety characteristics of the boat must be evaluated,
effected and documented by a competent person. The boat’s manufacturers cannot be held responsible
for any unapprovedmodifications.
In certain countries an operator’s licence or authorisation are required, or there may be specific
regulations in force.
Always properly maintain your boat, bearingin mind wear and tear which can result over time, or, as the
case may be, excessive or inappropriate use.
Any type of boat, no matter how solidly built, may be severely damaged if used incorrectly. Such use is
not compatible with safe navigation. Always adapt your course and boatspeed to the prevailing sea
conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read its user manual. The crew should have on board all
the necessary safety equipment (lifejackets, harnesses, etc.) corresponding to the type of boat, to the
weather conditions,etc. In certain countries such equipment is mandatory. The crew should be trained
in the use of all the safety equipment and emergencymanoeuvres (recovery of a man overboard, towing,
etc.) Sailingschools and yacht clubs regularly organise trainingsessions.
It is recommended that all persons wear appropriate flotation aids (lifejackets, buoyancy aids, etc.)
whenever they are on deck. Note that in some countries, it is obligatory to wear flotation aids which
conform to the laws of that country.

KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND IN THE EVENT OF YOUR SELLING THE BOAT, PLEASE PASS
IT ON TO THE NEW OWNERS.
WARNING
Our boats are regularly upgraded as result of customer experience and research carried out by the
shipyard. As a result, the specifications given in this Owner’s Manual are not contractual and are subject
to modification without notice and without obligation to update.
The aim of this manual is to cover a maximum of information. Therefore, it is possible that certain
paragraphs or equipment described is not applicable to your boat. If in doubt, refer to the inventory
supplied by your dealer when you ordered your boat.

1. DESIGN CATEGORY OF THE BOAT
Your BALI 4.8 comes under the design category CAT A.
In normal usage conditions, your boat is designed to sail in waves with a significant wave height of less
than 7m and winds lower than Beaufort Force 10, and to withstand more severe conditions.
This capacity is equally dependent on the competence of the crew, their physical ability, the upkeep of
the boat and its equipment.
Take all necessary precautions before putting to sea.
CATANA SAS cannot guarantee perfect functioning of the vessel in exceptional sea conditions (violent
storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)
DESIGN CATEGORIES
Category A:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which are lower than Beaufort Force 10 and in
seas with a significant wave height lower than 7m and above (see Note 1 below), and to a greater extent
be self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions can be
encountered on long passages, for example ocean crossings, or near coastlines where there is no
protection from wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
Category B:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 8 and in
correspondingsea states:a significant wave height of less than or equal to 4m (see Note 1 below). Such
conditions as may be encountered when sufficiently far offshore, or near coastlines where there is no
protection from wind and waves for several dozen nautical miles. These conditionscan also be
encountered on inland seas of sufficient size to be capable of seeing such wave heights.
Category C:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 6 and in
correspondingsea states:a significant wave height of less than or equal to 2m (see Note 1 below). Such
conditions as may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries and in coastal waters with
moderate weather conditions.
Category D:Boats which are designed to sail in winds which do not exceed Beaufort Force 4 and in
corresponding sea states (occasional waves with a maximum height of 0.3m). Such conditions as may
be encountered sheltered inland waters, and in coastal waters in fine weather conditions.
NOTE 1: Significant wave height means the mean height of the highest third of the waves, which
correspond approximately to the height of the wave as estimated by an experienced observer. Certain
waves may have a height of double this value.

3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
(Plans on pages 82 to 93)
3.1. Safety advice and use of the electrical system
WARNING
Incorrect use of the direct current or alternating current systems can result in a risk of fire or
explosion.
Incorrect use of the alternating current system can result in the risk of electrocution.
Always:
-Check the battery state and the charging system before putting to sea.
-Disconnect and remove the batteries when winterizing the boat.
-Maintain the voltageof the batteries at over 12V during the winter.
-Check the functioning of the navigation instruments.
-Always keep spare fuses on board for the power circuits.
-Check the functioning of the navigation lights before sailing at night.
-Have the electrical system checked at least every two years.
-Disconnect the vessel’s electrical supply if the system is not in use.
-Connect any metallic covers of electrical equipment to the vessel’s earthing system (green
cable, or green with a yellow stripe).
-Use electrical equipment which is either double-insulated or has an earthing connection.
Never:
-Work on a live electrical installation.
-Modify an installation and the relevant wiring diagrams, unless this has been carried out
by a qualified marine electrician.
-Change or modify the breaking capacity of the protective circuit breakers.
-Replace electrical apparatus or equipment with components which exceed the rated
capacity without resizing the cabling and circuit breakers.
-Leave the vessel unattended when the electrical system is live, with the exception of an
automatic bilge pump and fire or theft protection systems.
If a fuse or a circuit breaker continues to trip, call a specialist to determine the cause of the short-circuit.
The electrical distribution system on board works using a remote installation: the equipment controlled
by this system (from the electrical panel) is protected by thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. In this case,
all that is required is to eliminate the short circuit.
Other equipment (interior lighting, comfort equipment, etc.) is protected by fuses either under the chart
table or in the remote distributionboxes (see pages 14-15).
The lights are powered by RADIO control units with automaticreset.

3.2. Installing new equipment
Since 1st January 1996, electrical equipment has been subject to the European Directive on
“electromagnetic compatibility” (Ref 2014/30/EU). If any new equipment is to be installed, it must
therefore conform to these standards and must be CE marked. The equipment mustalso be accompanied
by a certificate of conformity and a user manual.
Only use electrical equipment which is double insulatedor has an earth connection in the case of a 220V
installation. When fitting such equipment, ensure you followthe installation instructions with respect to
cable sizing and fuse protection.
To avoid any maintenance problems, make appropriate changes to the wiring diagram to show the
modifications.
Replaceable fuses: beneath the chart table.
Fuse box and lighting configuration control box:
Access beneath the removable panel under the beds in forward and aft port and starboard cabins.
The bed-base under the mattress will need to be removed.

3.3 Batteries
All the batteries installedfor engine startingor the domesticsystem are gel type batteries and as such do
not require any specific maintenance; the only precaution to observe is to maintain a sufficient level of
charge.
Their capacity has been calculated to respond to the power requirementsof the on-boardaccessories. To
avoid any problems, the level of charge must be monitored and the batteries maintained.
The starboard battery bankis comprised of several 130 Ah batteries which form the service battery bank
and the starboard engine starter battery. (Figure 1).
The port engine has its own 130 Ah starter battery. In the event of failure of this battery, use the COUPLER
switch located in the port engine compartment
CAUTION
-If you install any new electrical equipment, ensure that the overall electrical consumption of this
equipment is compatible with your battery capacity.
-Never allow the two terminals of a battery to be bridged by any conductive object (tools, etc.)
-Before replacing a fuse, always switch off the power to the circuit. Defective fuses must be
replaced with fuses of the same size

3.4 Windlass and electric winch
CAUTION
-When using the windlass or electric winch it is essential that the engine is running and is at a
slightly increased speed.
-Always switch off the feed at the electrical panel when these are not in use.
Switching on the power to the windlass or electric winches is done at the electrical panel.
The windlass is operated via the corded remote control located beneath the chain locker lid.
The electric winches have dedicated controls positionednext to them.

CATANA SAS - Zone Technique du Port - 66140 CANET EN ROUSSILLON (FRANCE)
e - mail: [e-mail]- Tel [phone] - Fax[phone]
The circuit breakers for the Windlass and for the Electric winch are located on the electrical panel beneath
the starboard aft cabin companionway access.
3.5 Charging Systems
Your boat is fitted with several charging systems. When alongside a dock with a shore-power electricity
supply, the service batteries are charged by a charger or a combined inverter/charger (depending on
options). At sea, the same system is used if your boat is equipped with a generator. If your engines are
fitted with optional power alternators, they are connected to the domesticsystem. If your boat is fitted
with solar panels, these produce energy which is stored by the service batteries.
CAUTION
-Regularly check the alternator belt tension and the condition of the belts.
-To maintain solar panel efficiency (if fitted), it is essential they are kept clean and are not in any
shade.
-You must not stand or walk on the solar panels.

3.6 AC Installation (220/110 Volts ISO 13297)
DANGER
The on-board AC installation is protected by a circuit breaker and is equipped with an RCD (residual
current device). Their correct functioning should be tested monthly.
The wiring for any additional on-board AC accessories must be done by a professional, with new,
appropriately sized circuit breakers.
If maintenance is beingcarried out with the boatout of the water, switch it to the ‘’ON’’ position to ensure
earthing protection via the shore power.
Location of the AC shore power circuit breaker: Starboard engine compartment.
If the vessel is equipped with a generator, an RCD will be installed near to it. The same applies if the vessel
is fitted with a DC/AC converter.
The circuit breakers for the various AC circuits are housed in an electrical box in the starboard engine
compartment.
