Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 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 about 360 l. 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.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.1.2 Sea-water circulation Sea-water is necessary for both WC flushing and engine cooling (see: 2.9). 2.1.3 WC –installation: see enclosed directions for use Attention If you are not aboard for a longer time you should close all sea-valves.
Check regularly and repair if necessary: Tight hold of the mounting clip on the rudder post. The rudder bearings used by BAVARIA YACHTBAU are self-setting bearings. Since rudder bearings are subject to wear and tear they should be inspected and maintained regularly.
The chain locker is made watertight against the yacht. It is self-bailing through two holes in the skin. All BAVARIA yachts have got a self-bailing cockpit, too. The drain wells are situated at the rear and lowest part of the cockpit and are led outboard through the transom with hoses.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH You can find all the switches for the 12 V consumers at the switchboard. By this you can operate different consumer-groups, being marked with logos or lettering, separately. Some of the switches are designed for an installation of additional electric devices.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.5.5 Important warnings on the AC-installation Attention the electric wiring of the yacht and/or corresponding wiring plans must not be changed. Service and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified specialist.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.6 L.P.G. installation The gas installation for the stove meets the European norm EN 10239. Attached please find the test-certificate. The gas pipe leading to the stove from the standard 3 kg–gas cylinder is an 8mm copper pipe. It is placed into a self-bailing casing moulded into the deck in the rear cockpit area.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.6.2 Operation Gas installations require care. That’s why you should follow this sequence: Attention Open the stop valve in the gas cylinder casing Open the valve before the stove Open a stove valve and lighten the gas Keep the valve open until the glow timer allows further burning.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.7 Fire protection When building the yacht special attention was paid to avoid the risks of fire. This includes the choice of materials, the distance of stove flames to the surrounding built-in furniture and an island position of the engine.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH It is the yacht owner’s or skipper’s duty To make sure that all extinguishers are freely accessible to inform all persons on board about: the position and use of all fire extinguishers and the fire retarding cloth, the position and function of the opening for the extinguisher’s nozzle in the engine room...
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.10 Exhaust gas system The yacht is fitted with a “wet” exhaust gas system, i.e. cooling sea water is injected into the exhaust gas elbow causing a cooling of exhaust gases. This mixture is led down into a silencer/water lock, runs through a pipe in the locker seat on the starboard side of the aft cabin, is led upwards at the stern and escapes to the side above the water-line.
Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 2.12 Board ducts, sea water valves Openings below the water line are possible weak spots. That is why we pay special attention to them. All board ducts in the underwater part, with the exception of the duct for the transmitter of the echo sounder, consist of brass-made screwed joints with spherical sea valves and hose nipples.
Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH 3. Environmental protection BAVARIA YACHTBAU has already met the legal requirements referring to exhaust gas regulations with its choice for the inboard diesel installed. An exhaust gas type-examination certificate can be handed in or sent on later.
