yourself with your boat before using it.
If this is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of boat you are unfamiliar with, for your
convenience and safety, make sure you gain experience in handling and use before taking
command of your boat. Your agent, your national yachting federation or your yacht club will be
more than happy to recommend local sailing schools or qualified instructors.
KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND PASS IT ON TO THE NEW OWNER
IF YOU SELL YOUR BOAT.
NOTICE: Our boats are regularly improved in the light of our customers’ experiences and
research by the shipyard, and so the specifications given in this Owner’s Manual are not
contractually binding and may be changed without notice and without any obligation to
update.
This manual is intended to cover as much information as possible, so certain equipment or
paragraphs might not apply to your boat. In case of doubt, please refer to the inventory which
should have been given to you by your agent when you placed your order.

Your DUFOUR 365 comes under the OCEAN-GOING design category A.
Under normal conditions of use, your boat is designed to sail in waves higher than 4 m and winds
that are stronger than force 8 (Beaufort scale), for which is it largely self-sufficient.
This sailing capability is equally dependent on the skills of the crew, their physical
capacities, the maintenance of the boat and its equipment.
So always take care before putting to sea.
DUFOUR YACHTS is not able to guarantee perfect functioning of the boat in exceptional sea
conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)

Since 1 January 1996, electrical equipment is subject to the European “electromagnetic
compatibility” directive (Ref 89/336/CEE). So new equipment being installed must meet
this standard and bear the CE mark. Equipment must also be supplied with a compliance
certificate and instructions for use.
In the case of 220 or 110 V installations, use only double-insulated or earthed equipment.
When such equipment is being installed, respect the fitting instructions (conductor size,
protection).
To avoid maintenance problems, be sure to mark in the manual any modifications that may
be made to the electrical circuit diagram.

The battery capacity has been designed to meet the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance
and correct charging of the batteries.
NOTE
- When installing new electrical appliances, take care that the overall consumption of
these appliances remains within the capacity of your batteries.
-Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.
-Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc.) to bridge across the two battery terminals.
-When handling batteries, keep them horizontal to avoid spillage of electrolyte. Wear
gloves and protective clothing that will prevent any risk of contact with electrolyte in
the event of a leak.
-In the event of electrolyte splashes, rinse the affected part of the body copiously and
consult a doctor.

-Your boat is delivered without a supply cable or shore connection plug. The cable used
must be designed for exterior use. Its cross-sectional area must be appropriate for its
length and the rating of the main circuit-breaker (see electrical diagram). The plug
must be suitable for the socket on the shore (if necessary, seek the advice of a
professional). It should be as close as possible to the IP 67 / IEC529 type
-Disconnect the boat’s power supply when system is not in use.
-Connect the metal cases or housings of installed electrical equipment to the ship’s
protective conductor (green or green / yellow wire).
-Use double-insulated or earthed electrical appliances.
WARNING
In order to minimize the risk of electric shock or fire:
-Switch off the shore supply at the on-board isolator before connecting or
disconnecting the shore/boat supply cable.
-Connect the shore/boat supply cable at the boat end before connecting it to
the shore outlet
-Disconnect the shore/boat supply cable at the shore outlet before
disconnecting it at the boat end
-Close the shore outlet cover properly
-Do not make modifications to the shore supply cable; use only compatible
connectors.
WARNING
Never let the end of a ship/shore supply cable dangle into the water. It may create an
electrical field that could injure or kill nearby swimmers.

-Read carefully all instructions for cooker and regulator before use or maintenance.
-Ensure that the gas cylinder and regulator are in accordance with the requirements of
the cooker (flow rate, pressure, type of gas) and with the regulations in force in the
country where it is being used.
-Make sure the appliance gas taps are closed before opening the valve on the cylinder.
ATTENTION!
Appliances that burn fuel use up the oxygen in the cabin and release
combustion products into the boat. Ventilation is required when appliances are alight. Open
the coachroof ports while you are cooking.
-Do not use the stove as a means of heating.
-Do not obstruct quick access to the elements of the gas installation (cylinder locker,
shut-off valve).
-The gas cylinder must always be stowed in the sealed, ventilated space provided. The
same applies to spare or empty cylinders. No other equipment must be stowed in this
space.
ATTENTION!
Never leave the boat unattended when gas appliances are alight.
- Close all valves in the circuit when the boat is left empty (shut-off valve, regulator
valve), even if the cylinder is believed to be empty.
- After the boat has been shut up, never smoke when going below, and ensure that there
is no smell of gas.
- If you smell gas, close the circuit valves and the cooker taps, ventilate the boat, and
find the leak before using the installation again.
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, the circuit valves must be closed immediately.

Fresh water is supplied to the sink and washbasins by an electric pump. A filter is
installed upstream of the pump, and must be cleaned regularly.
Never allow the pump to run if the tank is empty. Change over to the other tank or
fill up.
Hot water is produced by a water-heater connected to the engine cooling circuit and the
shore electric supply.
After the water-heater has been emptied, make sure that the element is covered before
power is re-applied.

- Fire-extinguishers are subject to national regulations, and for this reason they are
not supplied with your boat.
- We recommend you to equip your boat with fire extinguishers meeting the ISO
9094-1 standard, with the following specifications:
a) Minimum capacity per extinguisher: 5A/34B,
b) Minimum combined extinguisher capacity: 10A/68B,
c) 1 extinguisher within:
- 1 m of cockpit for boats <10 m or 2 m for boats >10m
- 2 m of the extinguisher opening for dowsing the engine,
d) 1 extinguisher within 2 m of the cooker,
e) 1 extinguisher within 5 m of the bunks.
f) CO2extinguishers may be placed in accommodation areas only where flammable
liquids are present (e.g. galley) or where there is powered electrical equipment.
There must not be more than one CO2extinguisher per area at risk, and its
maximum capacity must not exceed 2 kg.
Only compatible replacement parts must be used in fire protection systems. They must
bear the same markings and be technically equivalent.
In addition, a fire blanket should be stored close to the galley — very useful
particularly in the event of a pan fire involving oil.

-Ensure that the cooling circuit water intake seacock is open, and that water is coming
out of the engine exhaust.
-Boats fitted with rotating seal stern gland: bleed the air from the gland after each
launch.
-Do not obstruct ventilation openings (vent, engine ventilation grille).
-Avoid all contact between flammable materials and hot parts of the engine.
Regularly check the condition of the anodes and ensure that they are suitable for the boat's
environment (fresh water, salt water).
Any engine change must respect the capacities of the boat and be performed by an engineer
specializing in marine mechanics.

DANGER!
-In order to avoid all risk of serious injury from the propeller, the engine must not be
started when there are people swimming near the boat.
-Whenever possible, the engine must be stopped for any engine maintenance or
checking operations. If this is impossible, then particular care must be taken with
moving parts (belts, shafts, etc.) to avoid any danger of injury.
