HUNTER MARINE’S OWNER AND FOUNDER

WARREN R. LUHRS

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Warren Luhrs was born in East Orange, New Jersey in 1944 into a family with an established tradition in the maritime and transportation industries. His greatgrandfather, Henry, was a railroad and clipper-shipping pioneer in America, while his great-uncle John helped build the famous St. Petersburg to Moscow railroad for Czar Alexander II.

Henry Luhrs owned shares in twentytwo different ocean-going vessels – barks, brigs, and schooners - and was the principal owner of the bark Sophia R. Luhrs, named for his wife. He was also a partner with Albert Sprout, who managed the shipyard where the Sophia R. Luhrs was built in Melbridge, Maine.

Warren Luhrs’ father Henry worked at a small boat manufacturer in Morgan, New Jersey, and later started his own company, continuing the Luhrs’ family sea tradition during the great depression. During World War II he repaired boats and installed ice sheathing on their bows for the Coast Guard.

After the War, Henry built 27-foot fishing boats and in 1948 began to construct custom-built pleasure craft. He then turned to skiffs and in 1952 incorporated as Henry Luhrs Sea Skiffs, where he constructed lapstrake sea skiffs using assembly-line techniques. Henry personally “shook down” his prototypes on family trips up the Hudson River to Lake Champlain.

The sea skiff is a class of boat that has been very popular, owing to its seaworthiness. It features a sharp bow, which reduces pounding in surf or

choppy seas, and a hull whose forward section is rounded below the waterline to increase stability in rough water or a following sea. Such skiffs can either be smooth sided or of a lap strake construction.

Inspired by Henry Ford, Henry Luhrs’ aimed to give the average man the opportunity to enjoy the luxury of boating by building an affordable and reliable boat. He was both designer and engineer, and his progressive new models exhibited his talent for innovation. He successfully changed the line of the bow from straight to curved at a time when the industry trend was a straight square effect, and he is believed to be the first designer-builder to popularize a small boat with a fly bridge.

In 1960, Luhrs acquired the Ulrichsen Boat Company of Marlboro, New Jersey. It was here that Luhrs’ Alura fiberglass division was located. In 1965, Henry sold his company to Bangor Arrostook Railroad, which was to become the recreational conglomerate BangorPunta. It was also during this period that Silverton of Tom’s River, New Jersey was purchased by John and Warren Luhrs.

Today, Warren R. Luhrs and his brother John own the Luhrs Group of marine manufacturers, which consists of Silverton Marine, Mainship Motor Yachts, and Luhrs Fishing Boats with its Alura division, as well as Hunter Marine, which exclusively manufactures sailboats.

In January of 1996, the Luhrs family transferred a portion of the Luhrs Group to its employees through an ESOP program.

SAFE BOATINGTIPS

MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

• Required life saving equipment, including life vests and throwables

• Required fire extinguishing equipment

• First Aid kit

• Emergency Position Indicating Radio

Beacon (EPIRB)

• Manual bailing device

• Anchor with sufficient line and/or chain

• Flashlight with good batteries

• Binoculars

• VHF radio

• Appropriate navigational charts

• Flares

• Fog bell

LIFE JACKETS

A life jacket may save your life, but only if you wear it. Keep jackets in a readily accessible place – not in a closed compartment or stored under other gear. Remove them from any packaging, and keep throwable floatation devices ready for immediate use.

• Noise emitting device

• Radar reflector

• Sufficient food and water provisions

• Auxiliary starting battery

• Spare fuses and bulbs

• Sunglasses and block

• Blanket

The legally required on-board safety equipment may vary by region or body of water. Please check with local authorities prior to departure for a safety examination.

It is very important that children,

handicapped people, and non-

swimmers wear lifejackets at all times. Make sure all passengers are properly instructed in use of life sav-

ing gear

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Approved fire extinguishers are required on most boats, local authorities can provide details. All passengers should know the location and operating procedure of each fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers are normally classified according to fire type. Be familiar with the type of fire extinguishers you have on board.

Some boats have been equipped with an Automatic Fire Extinguisher)

event of a fire in your engine compartment, this unit will automatically discharge. Please read your SEA-FIRE manual for operating instructions, maintenance and precautionary information.

BACKUP RUDDER SYSTEM

Rudder failure or loss is something Boat Operators MUST be prepared for. Hunter Marine has a backup rudder system that can be purchased for our current models 38 feet and up. Other commercial suppliers offer similar systems at differing benefits and costs and you should conduct your own analysis to determine which alternative is best for you.

Because the Backup Rudder System may also be lost, Boat Operators MUST be able to sail without rudder or otherwise be prepared to assemble a makeshift rudder.

PAGE 9

SAFE BOATINGTIPS

Most boats operating on coastal waters are required to carry approved visual distress signals, therefore check with your local authorities as to which types are required.

DRUGS AND BOATING

Consumption of alcohol while boating is not recommended. The combination of noise, sun, wind, and motion act to produce fatigue on the water, and can exaggerate the effects of alcohol.

FLARES

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD; Pyro-

technic signaling devices can cause

injury and property damage if not

handled properly. Follow manufac-

turer’s directions regarding the

proper use of signaling devices.

IMPAIRED OPERATION HAZARD

Operating any boat while is intoxicated

or under the influence of drugs is both dangerous and illegal. Impaired vision

or judgment on the water can lead to

accidents and personal injury

BEFORE GETTING UNDERWAY

• Leave a float plan (example on p. 12)

• Perform a pre-departure checklist (example on p. 11)

• Keep a good lookout. Keep a watch to the leeward under the headsail. Keep away from swimmers, divers, and skiers.

• Know and obey local boating laws.

• Respect bad weather, and be

prepared for quickly changing conditions

• Check the weather. Do not ven-

ture out if the weather is, or will be, threatening.

WHILE UNDERWAY

COLLISION HAZARD Use extra caution in shallow water or where underwater/floating objects may be present.

Hitting an object at speed or severe angle

can seriously injure people and damage

your boat

Dear Hunter Owner,

Attached you will find a list of items and recommendations that we believe should be incorporated into your own ongoing list of preventative maintenance items and safety check points. THIS LIST SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A COMPLETE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE ONLY ITEMS ON YOUR BOAT IN NEED OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION OR ATTENTION.

You will find that we address commonly found optional equipment items installed on Hunter boats, as well as most standard equipment from Hunter Marine. Owner’s need to familiarize themselves with individual equipment manuals on all such items, especially aftermarket purchases or optional equipment installed by your dealer or Hunter Marine. This should insure that you are following the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper maintenance and up-keep.

We strongly recommend that all owners complete a Power Squadron course followed with a complementary boat inspection before leaving the dock. To locate a Power Squadron in your area please visit <

Reviewing and familiarizing yourself with the Chapman’s Piloting Manual is also highly recommended for every boat owner. This manual contains demonstrations for safety drills which should be practiced routinely, dealing with adverse conditions, general boat handling and recommended safety equipment. Our opinion is that no boat owner should operate a boat without first reviewing this manual and without having ready access to it while sailing.

We hope that this list will be beneficial to you in your ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Safe boating!

Thank You Hunter Marine

AFTER SAILING CHECKLIST

When leaving your Hunter at the dock for more than a short time, it is a good idea to review the following checklist to make sure everything is in order. This

 Flake or furl mainsail and cover, or remove and bag.

 Remove and stow all portable deck hardware such as snatch blocks, winch

handles, etc.

 Secure the boom to the topping lifts and set it firmly amidships with the main

sheet purchase. (It is also a good idea to rig a line from the steering wheel or tiller to a convenience cleat to keep the rudder from swinging back and forth with the motion of the water or employ the wheel brake if so equipped.)

 Attach the shackle ends of all halyards to convenient fittings and take up

slack. Find a location leading away from the mast to keep the halyard from slapping the mast.

will help protect the various parts of your boat and add considerably to their attractiveness and usable life.

 Coil and stow all lines in line lockers

 Cover the winches and steering pedestal when leaving the boat for several

days or more

 Close all fuel lines and seacocks

 Switch off the electrical system

 Pump out the bilge

 Check air vents, secure ports and hatches, swab the deck, and clean deck

stainless, particularly if you have operated in saltwater.

 Make a final check of mooring lines, chafing gear, fenders, etc.

PAGE

SAFE BOATING TIPS

DOCKING

Docking your boat should be handled carefully to avoid potential damage. Under normal wind and water conditions, the following considerations should be made:

1. Whenever possible, your approach should be made against the prevailing wind and current to assist in stopping the boat. Where these conditions are contrary, the strongest should be used to determine approach.

2. Approaching the dock: dock lines should be at ready, loose gear stowed and decks cleared. Determine the direction of the wind and current and when you decide which side of the boat will be against the dock, rig dock lines and

fenders on the appropriate side. One dock line should be attached to the bow cleat, another to the stern cleat opposite the side that will lie against the dock.

NOTE: If the boat is to lie against a piling, rig a fender board across two or more pilings.

3. Tying up: attach bow and stern lines to dock, hauling boat in with fenders against dock. Rig crossing spring lines to limit motion forward and aft. Be sure to allow some slack in all lines to compensate for tidal activity if present. Never use bow rail, stern rail, or stanchions to secure a vessel, even for brief periods. For other types of moorings, or for abnormal wind or water conditions, consult an approved boating guide.

ANCHORING

Your Hunter comes with an on deck anchor well and a Danforth type anchor as standard equipment. The anchor is selected to suit the size and weight of your boat under normal anchoring conditions, and is most effective in muddy or sandy bottoms.

When anchoring, pay particular attention to the scope of your anchor rode (the relationship between of the water and the length of the rode). A good rule of thumb is to allow a scope of about 7:1 (a rode seven times as long as the vertical distance from the bow to the bottom). A helpful aid is to mark the rode every 20 feet or so with knots or other types of indicators. Before dropping anchor, make sure the bitter end is secured to the cleat in the anchor well. Also, be sure to consider wind direction, currents,

mean low tide depths and other local conditions when anchoring, as well as positions of any boats already anchored nearby.

To weigh anchor, motor or sail (under main only) forward slowly. When at a point directly above the anchor, a quick tug should free it from the bottom. Take care not to damage the topsides when hauling.

Anchoring in unusual water/ and or

weather conditions will require additional

precautions. Consult an approved guide

for suggestions

PAGE 14

SAFE BOATING TIPS

DIESEL ENGINE

An engine owner's manual is supplied with your boat and should be read thoroughly. It contains technical specifications, running instructions and a maintenance schedule on lubricants and fluids. For long engine life, follow routine maintenance schedules.

You should check engine oil, transmission fluid and coolant levels. Water, rust, scale and dirt will cause serious damage to the injectors on diesel engines. You should check your filters frequently and change when necessary. Check fuel line connections for proper tightness.

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD – Fuel system connections that are too loose or too tight can leak, resulting in fuel loss, envi-

ronmental pollution and explosion/fire

hazard.

EXTREME HAZARD: carbon monoxide

gas (CO) is colorless, odorless and ex-

tremely dangerous. All engines and fuel

burning appliances produce CO as ex-

haust. Direct and prolonged exposure to

CO will cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH. Signs of exposure to CO include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Refer

to BOATING SAFETY for more informa-

tion.

When you start your engine, run it a minimum of 15 minutes to bring it up to operating temperature. This insures that any condensation is evaporated. Your engine should “run out” at ¾ throttle at least once a month to clean out carbon buildup and moisture.

FUELING YOUR DIESEL ENGINE

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD

• Store flammable material in safetyapproved containers. Keep containers in a locker designed by the boat manufacturer for that purpose. Never store flammable material in a non-vented space.

• Observe “No-Smoking” while fueling.

• Run exhaust blower at least 4 minutes

before starting engine. Check bilge and engine compartments for fumes.

• Keep ventilation system free of obstructions. Never modify the vent system.

• Fill less than the rated capacity of the tank. Allow for fuel expansion.

• If fuel enters bilge, do not start engine. Determine cause and severity. Contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove fuel. Do not pump overboard. Contact Coast Guard for additional advice (See Environmental Considerations Fuel & Oil Spillage.)

• Inspect fuel system regularly for leaks.

Follow engine manufacturer’s recommen-

dations for types of fuel and oil. Use of

improper products can damage the engine

and void the warranty.

Notice: Use fresh fuel. Fuel that has been in a tank too long can form gum and varnish, which may affect performance.

Inspect diesel fuel filters regularly. Diesel fuel must be kept as clean as possible. Keep fuel tank full.

PAGE 15

SAFE BOATING TIPS

STARTING YOUR DIESEL ENGINE

1. Visually check engine compartment to see that the throttle linkage, shifting controls, electrical connections and fuel lines are properly secured.

2. Before each start check oil in engine and transmission.

3. Insure that the engine shut-off cable is properly secured and operating.

4. Place the shift lever in th e neutral position. Pull out the button beside the shift lever to disengage the shift. On single lever controls, lift the collar under the shift lever knob and move the lever forward to advance the throttle for neutral warm-up.

5. Insert the starter key and turn to the “on” position.

6. Press the starter button and hold until engine starts, then release. The buzzer and/or light should then go off. Press

the starter button no longer than 5 seconds continuously.

7. Allow cold engine to warm up a minimum of five minutes.

8. When warm-up is completed, return the hand lever to neutral position, and push

the button back to re-engage the shift. The shift is ready for shift and throttle operation.

9. Check that the lube oil pressure war ning light and the charge lamp go off. If any of the warning lamps do not go off above 1,000 rpm, the engine is malfunctioning and should be stopped immediately. Consult your nearest engine dealer.

NOTE: The H386 and below are equipped with an “engine stop” pull lever. When pulled all the way out, this will stop the engine at any time.

Follow engine manufacturer’s recommen-

dations for types of fuel and oil. Use of

improper products can damage the engine

and void the warranty.

MOTORING YOUR DIESEL ENGINE

Before departure, remember to unplug the shore power. When the engine is warm, but prior to releasing the dock lines, move the shift lever to forward and to reverse to insure that it is working properly. To increase RPMs, push throttle lever forward and pull back to decrease RPMs. IMPORTANT: When sailing, it is best to start the engine before the sails are lowered. This way, it is possible to maneuver if the engine should not start.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Your Hunter is fitted with an electrical system designed for both AC and DC. While in port, you can operate any tool, appliance or other device designed to function on regular house current simply by plugging your dockside power cord into a convenient outlet on shore and turning your AC main breaker on.

Your rigging will conduct electricity. Al-

ways check for overhead high tension wires before proceeding. Once clear, you may increase your speed in a reasonable

and safe manner as desired.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD: If polarity is

reversed, DO NOT use the shore power

source. Immediately turn off the power

source and disconnect the shore power

cord. Reversed polarity is a dangerous

and potentially lethal condition that may

cause shock, electrocution, or death.

PAGE

SAFE BOATING TIPS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (continued)

To minimize shock hazard, connect and disconnect cable as follows:

1. Turn off the boat’s shore power connection before connecting or disconnecting shore power cable.

2. Connect shore power cable at the boat first.

3. If polarity warning indicator is activated, immediately disconnect cable and have the fault corrected by a qualified electrician.

4. Disconnect shore power cable at shore outlet first.

5. Close inlet cover tightly.

DO NOT ALTER SHORE POWER CABLE CONNECTORS.

Storage: Your shore power cable set is intended for use outdoors. To prolong the life of the set, store indoors when not in use. General: The metallic parts of your cable set are made to resist corrosion. In a salt-water environment, periodically wiping the exposed parts with fresh water, drying and spraying with a moisture repellent can increase life of the product. A soiled cable can be cleaned with a grease cutting household detergent. A periodic application of vinyl protector to both ends will help to maintain cables original appearance. In case of salt water immersion, rinse plug end and/or connector end thoroughly in fresh water, shake or blow out excess water and allow to dry. Spray with moisture repellent before re-use.

Do not allow your dockside power cord to come in contact with the water. Never op-

erate any AC power tool or other electrical

equipment while you or the devices are in contact with the water, as this may cause

electrocution resulting in shock or death.

When leaving port, disconnect the dockside power cord and turn the main DC breaker on. This allows you to use the ship’s lights and other equipment designed to operate on direct current. Keep in mind that your DC power source is a 12-volt battery, just as with your automobile, and it must be charged regularly by operating the engine (or by running the battery charger, if you have that option installed). Unless a state of charge is maintained, there may not be enough power to operate the starter motor. Dangerous situations can result if the engine cannot be started when needed.

Make a regular visual check of batteries to insure proper water level and inspect terminals for signs of corrosion. If your boat sits for long periods without use, it is often a good idea to remove the batteries and attach them to a trickle charger to keep them fully charged and ready to use.

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD – ensure

adequate ventilation of battery to prevent

buildup of gases, especially hydrogen.

WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY:

• Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention, especially if your eyes are affected.

• Batteries generate hydrogen gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging.

• Charge the battery in a fully ventilated place.

SAFE BOATING TIPS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (continued)

Hunter Marine recommends that on all boats with either/both a house and start battery, the cables be disconnected during winter storage or any time the boat is out of the water for an extended period of time. Because of the continuous electrical drain placed on the 12 volt system by certain electrical components such as stereos and CO monitors you will be preserving your batteries life expectancies.

We recommend that owners who leave their boats in the water during the sailing season charge the boats internal batteries at least once every seven days during the sailing season (we do not recommend leaving power connected to

the boat if it is unattended). Completely depleting a batteries internal charge can drastically shorten its life span. This includes gel cell and glass mat batteries.

For owners who live aboard or wish to leave their boat battery switches in the on position while unattended (again, we do not recommend this) should consider installing a N20504W Nicro Solar vent to reduce the chances of the CO monitor’s sounding. Only exchanging the air inside the boat on a regular basis or leaving the battery switches in the off position totally eliminates the false sounding of the monitors while 12-volt systems are operating.

COOKING STOVE

EXPLOSION/FIRE/ASPHYXIATION

HAZARD

• Open flame cooking appliances consume oxygen. This can cause asphyxiation or death.

• Maintain open ventilation.

• Liquid fuel may ignite, causing severe

burns.

• Use fuel appropriate for type of stove.

• Turn off stove burner before filling.

• Do not use stove for comfort heating.

• Use special care with flames or high

temperatures near urethane foam. Once ignited, it burns rapidly, producing extreme heat, releasing hazardous gasses and consuming a large amount of oxygen.

Carefully read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions prior to operating your stove. Save the instructions for review, and also to pass on to any subsequent owners.

Use only the fuel recommended by the manufacturer, and store the fuel in an approved container.

Do not smoke while working with fuel. Immediately clean up any spilled fuel.

SAFE BOATING TIPS

TOILET

IMPORTANT: When not in use, lever must be left in the “dry” position to prevent flooding.

Before using, place the lever in the “wet” position and pump slowly to partly fill and wet the inside of the bowl. Return to the “dry” position.

After using, return the lever to the “wet” position for flushing and pump until the bowl is thoroughly cleaned. Continue with several more full strokes to flush discharge lines. Return lever to “dry” position and pump slowly until bowl is empty.

OPENING HULL PORTS

If your boat is equipped with opening hull ports, they must remain closed and secured while under sail. Your boat could take on water when it heels, causing damage to the interior due to flooding or even possible sinking of your vessel.

• There is a possibility of being fined for having an operable direct overboard discharge of waste in some waters. Removing seacock handle, in closed position, or other means must be used to avoid fine.

•It is illegal for any vessel to dump plastic trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable waters of the United States.

Do not place facial tissue, paper towels or

sanitary napkins in head. Such material can

damage the waste disposal system and the

environment.

All hull ports must remain closed and secure

while sailing.

PUMPS

All pumps should be checked frequently to insure proper operation. This is an especially important regular maintenance item since a properly operating pump could save your vessel from serious damage

Run pump only as long as necessary to re-

move water. Dry running can damage the

pump motor

Inspect all bilge pump hoses for chafing and dry rot. See that all hose clamps are

tight. Check that the bilge pump impeller area is clean and free of obstructions. Inspect electrical wiring for corrosion. Ensure that the float switch functions properly.

SINKING HAZARD – Ensure proper bilge pump operation.

PAGE

SAFE BOATING TIPS

WATER SYSTEM OPERATION

Fill fresh water tank at deck fill. The tank filler cap will be marked “water”. When tank is full, water will back up through the vent hose and exit through a vent located on the side of the hull. Use tank gauge for filling. D.C. main should be turned on first.

To activate the water system, turn on D.C. main, flip the “water pressure” switch on the electrical panel. This will start the pump and pressurize the system. When the pressure builds, the pump will shut off. With continued use of fresh water the pressure in the system is reduced, automatically restarting the pump. Make sure there is water in the system while pump is in operation to prevent damage to the motor. The pump will also run if a leak develops in the system.

NOTE: Intermittent operation of the freshwater pump while all faucets are closed usually indicates a leak somewhere in the lines. Trace the lines to locate the leak and repair.

The water heater operates either on 120 or 240 volts AC or when the engine is running. To obtain hot water from the engine, it must run a minimum of one-half hour. Pressure water pumps are the demand type. Once the circuit breaker switch is on, opening the faucet will produce water flow.

To operate shower, turn on hot and cold faucets until desired temperature is reached, while the showerhead is retracted at sink. Pull the showerhead out and use. The faucets must be turned off to prevent system drainage.

Opening the faucet will allow the pump to empty the tank. Flushing the tank and lines will be necessary for winterization. Refer to Maintenance & Winterization section for more information.

SINKING HAZARD –To ensure the safety

of your vessel, always disconnect shore

water and power connections when leav-

ing your boat unattended.

Run pump only as long as necessary to remove water. Dry running can damage

the pump motor

WASTE DISCHARGE

The Hunter is equipped with a head waste holding tank, hose lines, and thrufittings for either overboard discharge, using the standard equipped hand pump, deck pump out at dockside or Macerator Pump. Tank levels will be indicated on the gauge located below the

PAGE

main electrical panel. Familiarize yourself with the locations of the deck pump out, overboard discharge thru-hull, and vent locations pictured in the Waste Water System section, as well as your local boating regulations concerning the overboard discharge of raw sewage.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

FUEL AND OIL SPILLAGE

The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the environment and is dangerous to wildlife. Never discharge or dispose of fuel or oil into the water. It is dangerous and unlawful. Two common types of accidental discharge are overfilling the fuel tank and pumping contaminated bilge water into the sea.

DISCHARGE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food wood, detergents, sewage, and even fish parts in certain waters. We recommend that you bring back everything you take out with you for proper disposal ashore.

EXPLOSION/FIRE/POLLUTION HAZARD:

Fill fuel tank to less than rated capacity.

Overfill forces fuel out the tank vents, which

can cause explosion fire, or environmental

pollution. Also allow for fuel expansion

Your marine holding tank (if so equipped) must, in many areas, be pumped out by an approved pump-out facility normally found at marinas.

EXHAUST EMISSIONS

Hydrocarbon exhaust emissions pollute our water and air. Keep your engine

ANTI-FOULING PAINTS

The use of anti-fouling paints is common for boats kept in water. Be aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint choice. These regulations may affect which paint may be used, and also the application or removal. Contact your local boating authorities for more information

CLEANING CHEMICALS

Cleaning chemicals should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas. Do not use products that contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, non-biodegradable or petroleum-based products.

properly tuned to reduce emissions and improve performance and economy.

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD:

Ventilate when painting or cleaning.

Ingredients may be flammable and/or explo-

sive.

Common households cleaning agents may cause hazardous reactions. Fumes can last for hours, and chemical ingredients can attack people, property and the environment.

BOTTOM PAINTING

Choose a bottom paint system that suits the environment in your area. Follow the procedure recommended by the manufacturer of the paint, while making sure not to void the Hunter Hull Blistering Warranty. The procedure

EPOXY BARRIER COAT

Sanding of the gel coat bottom surface will be permitted should a customer wish to have an epoxy barrier coat applied to the hull, (example Interlux Interprotect 1000, 2000, West System or VCTar). This will not void the Five-Year Blister Warranty. Hunter Marine refers to epoxy barrier coatings as mentioned above, not epoxy primer paints. If an epoxy barrier coat is applied to a Hunter vessel, it must be registered with the Warranty Department prior to application of the product. If the dealer applies bottom paint only, sanding will not be allowed and the no sanding system must be used.

ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & DRIVETRAIN

ENGINE

Follow the fuel and lubrication requirements in the Engine Manual. Check the engine oil level before and after operation and use a quality motor oil (refer to Engine Manual). Be certain the proper amount of oils is in the crankcase at all times

Engine Alignment: the engine should be aligned by experienced marine service personnel. Final alignment should be done after launching, with all normal gear aboard. A description of the procedure follows:

The coupling flanges must come together evenly at all points, a feeler gauge is used to check the gap. If adjustment is necessary, the engine is tilted up or down and/or sideto-side until the flanges meet evenly. Severe vibration will result from misalignment and can cause strut bearing and shaft damage. Alignment should be checked again after several weeks of use. Routine checks of coupling bolts are a must to ensure they are tight.

Shaft Alignment:

1. Separate the coupling, move the shaft

end back to clear the pilot in the center.

2. Establish the shaft in the center of the shaft log by raising the shaft until it touches the top of the log – note position – lower the shaft until it touches the bottom of the log – note position – repeat sideways and locate shaft in the center; block shaft in this position, using a block of wood under the shaft packing gland.

3. Now, adjust the engine mounts to allow the pilot on the coupling halves to slip together without moving shaft up down or sideways.

4. Adjust the engine mounts as necessary until a .004” feeler gauge will not enter anywhere along the edge of the flange between the faces.

5. Tighten the locks on the adjustable mounts

6. Recheck coupling with feeler, readjust if necessary.

7. Check stuffing box (allow to drip 3 to 5 drops per minute).

Any questions or problems concerning the engine, please contact the U.S. distributor, Mastery Marine at (727) 522-9471, or your local Yanmar service agent.

TRANSMISSION

Follow the lubrication requirements of the engine manual. The oil level should be

STUFFING BOX

The stuffing box is held to the stern bearing by a rubber hose secured with hose clamps. (See the Shaft and Propeller section). The clamps should be tight and no water should leak from this location. While underway a slight drip from the stuffing box at the shaft exit is necessary (three to five drops a minute) and is normal. To adjust, loosen the locknut, tighten the gland nut one-quarter

checked immediately after operation.

turn, a retighten the locknut. If excessive water flow persists after adjustment, replace the packing with 3/16” (or 5mm) square flax packing and then adjust as above.

NOTE: Some models use a packless sealing system. Page 56 or Pages 56A, B, C, reflects the type of stuffing box used on this model.

MAINTENANCE

COMPASSES

A boat compass rarely exists in an environment that is completely free from magnetic materials or influences.

The compass on your boat should be adjusted by a certified compass adjuster and have a deviation table made for it.

STEERING

Refer to the manufacturer’s instruction for maintaining pedestal steering system. Routinely inspect steering system components.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

The electrical system is a 12-volt, negative ground installation, plus a shore power system of either 120v or 220v. The owner should inspect batteries, terminals and cables weekly for signs of corrosion, cracks, and electrolyte leakage. Battery terminals are to be kept clean and greased. Refer to separate instructions on batteries, wiring diagram, and electronics.

• Turn off engine before inspecting or servicing battery.

• Disconnect battery cables before working on electrical system to prevent arcing or damage to alternator.

If you must depend solely on your compass for navigation, make a quick check for any objects near the compass that may cause additional, unmeasured deviation. Typical objects that may fall in this category include: knives, small radios, flashlights or other tools.

CONTROL HAZARD – Inspect and

maintain steering system regularly. An

improperly maintained system may fail,

causing sudden loss of steering control,

resulting in personal injury and property

damage.

SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD

• Disconnect electrical system from its power source before performing maintenance. Never work on the electrical system while it is energized.

• Electrical appliances must be within the rated amperage of the boats circuits.

• Observe boat carefully while the electrical components that can be left unattended are the automatic bilge pump, fire protection and alarm circuits.

• Only a qualified marine electrical technician may service the boat’s electrical system.

PAGE 25

SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD Replace breaker or fuse with the same amperage device. Never alter over cur-

rent protection.

MAINTENANCE

PLUMBING SYSTEMS

All pumps should be checked frequently to insure proper operation. This is an especially important regular maintenance item since proper functioning of a pump could save your vessel from serious damage in the future.

Inspect all hoses for chafing and deterioration. See that hose clamps are tight. Check that the pump impeller area is clean and free of obstructions.

Inspect electrical wiring for corrosion. Make sure float switches move freely and are making an electrical connection.

The owner should become familiar with the layout of the water and waste sys-

FUEL SYSTEMS

The owner should inspect the condition of fuel lines for cracks or leaks. A primary source of fuel-related problems is water in the system. The owner should use only well maintained fueling facilities and make sure fuel fill caps are tightly secured after filling. Check and maintain

tems by walking through the boat with the diagrams provided in this manual. It is especially important that the owner knows all the thru-hull valve locations and inspects for leaks frequently. Refer to plumbing diagrams in Specifications and Technical section of this manual.

General Thru-hull Lists (varies from boat to boat---see diagrams in Systems and Circuits section).

1) Engine cooling system

2) Galley sink

3) Head sink

4) Head toilet (water intake)

5) Holding tank discharge

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING FIBERGLASS SURFACES

Fiberglass surfaces should be cleaned regularly. Normal accumulations of surface dirt can be removed simply by occasional rinsing with water. If you operate your boat in salt water, more frequent rinsing will be required. To remove stubborn dirt, grease or oil, use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Rinse with fresh clean water. Avoid the plexiglass companionway slider, windshield, deck hatches and fixed ports when using a deck brush, since these surfaces can scratch.

CLEANING ACRYLIC

Use only mild soap and water to clean acrylics. Do not use products containing solvents such as ammonia, which is found in many window cleaners.

It is a good idea to wax the fiberglass once or twice a year to maintain a deep, glossy appearance. Your local marine supply should be able to provide an appropriate wax.

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD

Cleaning agents and paint ingredients may

be flammable and/or explosive, and danger-

ous to inhale. Be sure to use adequate ven-

tilation, and appropriate safety clothing.

(gloves, safety glasses, respirator, et c.)

Use care when cleaning acrylic.

Dry cloth and many glass cleaners will

scratch. Solvents will attack the surface.

SAIL CARE

Sunlight is a sail’s worst enemy, so cover the mainsail when not in use. An ultravio-

let guard, fitted down the leech of a roller headsail will protect the exposed part from the weathering effect of the sun and from dirt and grit. Mildew, can be prevented by storing sails dry and by hand washing twice a season. Check all sails regularly for chafe, particularly where they chafe on deck fittings or rig-

ging, at reef points, batten sleeves and the foot of the headsail. Sail batten pockets should be inspected on a regular basis. To stow the mainsail, start at the leech and flake it onto the boom, left and right, in about 18-in. (46 cm) folds, while pulling the leech aft. Secure with a sail tie and continue to the luff. Lash to the boom with sail ties or shock cord.

GENERAL HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

Check all fittings regularly to be sure screws are tight. Occasionally lubricate (use silicone lubricants) all moving parts on such fittings as blocks, turnbuckles and cam cleats, as well as the locking pins of snatch blocks, track slides, spinnaker poles, etc. Inspect cleat and fairleads for roughness and smooth with

fine-grained emery paper if necessary. Also, replace any missing or damaged cotter pins in turnbuckles and shackles, and either tape them or use them or use protective covers manufactured for that purpose. Grease winches a minimum of once yearly.

WINCH MAINTENANCE

Follow the maintenance instructions prescribed by winch manufacturer.

These patterns, like all upholstery fabrics and vinyl, require a regularly scheduled

We recommend a minimum of an annual cleaning and light greasing.

cleaning program. A thorough cleaning should be administered on a daily, weekly or

VINYL CARE

monthly basis depending on use and exposure to dirt and/or staining agents. It is important to begin treatment of a stain as soon as possible after a spill. It is important that efforts begin immediately after a spill to remove any potential staining agent. It is advisable to clean these products as soon as the first signs of dinginess occur, otherwise, delaying clean up will require a much greater effort to restore the product to its original appearance. Regular cleaning requires the use of a mild cleaner such as Murphy’s Oil soap and water. In situations where the vinyl has not been washed regularly and there is a build up of dirt, stronger vinyl cleaners such as Simonizes Tuff Stuff or Turtle Wax’s vinyl/fabric cleaner are recommended. We do not recommend the use of any other cleaners. The use of cleaners other than those recommended may result in irreparable damage to the product.

In order for the above listed cleaning solutions to work effectively on stubborn stains, please allow time for the cleaning solution to soak in thoroughly. Be sure to remove the cleaning solution before it has time to dry. Regardless of the type of cleaner used, it is necessary to finish up with a thorough rinse using fresh water on a clean sponge or rag. A soft bristled nylon or natural fiber brush can be used to remove built-up dirt and staining agents. Finally, please remember that all our fabric grain vinyls require a greater cleaning effort to maintain than comparable smooth grain vinyls. These products will provide an attractive and durable alternative to conventional fabrics and vinyls if properly maintained. One must realize that the proper installation and use of our fabric grain vinyl’s require additional attention to the establishment and maintenance of a well thought out cleaning program.

Do not use acetone or other harsh cleaners on the vinyl soft headliner.

Use soapy water or other mild detergent to avoid damage to the vinyl.

FABRIC CARE

Vinyl: Clean with mild soap and water. Wipe with vinyl or upholstery cleaner monthly, and especially before and after storage. Leather: Mild soap water. Blot dry. Do not scrub as this will stretch and scratch. Wipe with leather cleaner/oil to preserve and help prevent cracks before and after storage. Fabric: Blot dry. Do not machine wash. Use only mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean white cloth. If stain persists, dry clean. Be sure to treat cleaned surfaces with scotch

REPAIR OF POLYURETHANE (MINWAX) FLOORS

Surface Scratches: Sand floor with 220 grit sandpaper. Remove all dust with clean cotton cloth or blow off with air. Apply one coat of minwax least 24 hours Deep Scratches: Remove all blemishes by sanding floor with 220, until all minwax is removed and you have a raw floor. Remove all dust with clean cloth or blow off with air. Apply one coat evenly over floor. Let dry four to six hours. Repeat steps one and four. Apply third coat of minwax only if needed by repeating steps one and four.) After final coat, let floor dry completely at least one day.

evenly over sanded floor. Let dry completely, at

guard. Stretched or loose covers may be steam cleaned. If foam is removed, it will restuff more easily if wrapped with thin plastic. Storage: Cover with airflow fabric to reduce dust build up. Do not use plastic, as this will cause cushions to sweat and mildew. Cushions: If wet, prop cushions vertically to promote airflow around each cushion. Cushions can be cleaned by most dry cleaners.

Dry clean only.

ELECTROLYSIS AND GALVANIC PROTECTION

Salt water allows electric current to flow from anodic to cathodic material. For any two metals from two components, their relative positions in the galvanic rating table, will determine which loses material (the anode) and which remains largely undisturbed (the cathode). The distance between the two metals on the galvanic table determines the rate of wear. Thus a sacrificial zinc anode is often fitted to the underwater area of a boat to attract any destructive currents away from bronze or steel propeller shafts, for example. It is not enough to know that your boat does not suffer from electrolysis; a newcomer in the adjacent marina berth may start a too-

TEAK CARE (240, 260, and 270 ONLY)

Teak wood is a high quality, extremely durable wood with high oil content. In order to help you protect the original beauty of your teak interior, we have sealed the wood with a 3 to 4 coat system of high quality Seafin Teak Oil, manufactured by Dalys. This material is penetrating oil that dries to a low sheen to seal and protect the wood from

friendly association with metal components on it. An easy place to fit an anode is on the propeller shaft, or covering the propeller nut. The anode should not be painted; this would render it ineffective. To prevent electrolysis in seawater, the difference between the voltages of the two adjacent metals should not exceed 0.20 V. For example, zinc and carbon steel used together risk corrosion, while lead and active stainless steel are compatible. Metals with a high voltage corrode faster and need a larger area to diffuse the electrochemical reaction.

INTERIOR FURNITURE & BULKHEAD SPRAY FINISH

TEAK CARE

Teak wood is a high quality, extremely durable wood with high oil content. In order to help you protect the original beauty of your teak, we have sealed the interior with a (3 to

4) spray coat finish, using sealer and varnish for marine cabinets. The materials are

manufactured by “Chemcraft International Inc”. This material will seal and protect the wood from moisture and weathering. It is easy to maintain and reduces work and maintenance costs.

REPAIRS

When woodwork is damaged from scrapes or abrasions (that go into or through the finish), take the following steps:

1) Sanding with the grain, take 320 grit sand paper to smooth out rough spots. If the spot is down to the raw wood, rag (100% cotton) wipe the spot with acetone and allow to dry. (Note: acetone only needs to be applied to the raw teak).

2) Reseal raw wood with Mohawk Spray Sealer (aerosol can) and allow to dry.

3) Lightly sand with 320 grit, sanding larger than original spot.

4) Wipe clean of dust and dirt with a clean rag.

5) Using Mohawk touch up and repair supplies, use clear lacquer spray (aerosol can). Apply (1) coat on the spot evenly and allow to dry.

STORAGE/WINTERIZATION

IMPORTANT

Winter storage is recommended to be done in one of the following three ways, either: 1) by blocking the boat via a cradle 2) with chained stands on level ground; or 3) by storing the boat in the water with a bubbler system to prevent icing. Damage to your boat, including engine misalignment caused

by twisting, is not covered by the warranty.

SAILS

Sails should be properly folded and stowed in a dry, well-ventilated place. Many sailboat owners send their sails back to the sail manufacturer at the end of each season. The sailmaker will check the stitching and sailcloth for wear and store the sails until the start of the next season.

ELECTRICAL

Remove battery from boat (Refer to Engine Manual) and charge. It is a good idea to also remove the electronics (radio, radar, etc) and store in a safe place.

CUSHIONS

Cushions should be removed and stored at home if possible. If not, prop them vertically to promote air flow around each cushion. Dry clean

only!

HATCHES

Tenting the deck during storage will help prevent ice from forming and damaging hatches and deck fittings. The installation of a passive vent will help with ventilation while the boat is in storage.

WATER SYSTEM

Open a faucet and allow the pump to empty the tank. Then add approximately two gallons (7.6L) of nontoxic anti-freeze solution to the tank and repeat the pumping out procedure. A second method is to disconnect the hoses at the pump, allowing

them to drain. Find the lowest point in the system and disconnect the fitting. Open all faucets to allow the lines to drain. If possible, use a short section of hose on the faucet to blow through the lines to clear all water. A diluted solution with baking soda will help freshen the system.

WATER SYSTEM

Open valve and drain fully leave valve open during lay-up time.

TOILET AND HOLDING TANK

Drain and flush toilet. Using nontoxic anti-freeze in a 50/50 mixture with water, pump through toilet and into holding tank.

OUTBOARD ENGINE

Take it home and store it in a safe place. Be very careful storing the gas tank as the gasoline is very flammable. Refer to Engine Manual for specific maintenance schedule.

INBOARD ENGINE Winterizing Fresh Water Cooled Diesel Engines

1. Drain crankcase and transmission and refill with fresh lubricant as specified in Engine Manual.

2. Drain and clean all fuel filters and change elements, gaskets, and seals. Bleed all air from fuel systems.

3. Start engine and bring up to operating temperature.

4. Close the sea cock, remove the raw water pickup hose from the raw water pump and immerse one end into a 5-gallon (19L) bucket of antifreeze solution. Start engine and run

PAGE

STORAGE/WINTERIZATION

until anti-freeze solution comes out exhaust stack or until bucket is empty. Attach the raw water pickup hose to the raw water pump. Tighten all clamps. NOTE: This procedure

bypasses the sea strainer to prevent anti-freeze from crystallizing in sea strainer, which warranty will not cover.

5. Loosen water pump and alternator belts to lessen tension on belts during winter.

6. For engines equipped with a hand crank: pull compression release levers and turn engine slowly with the hand crank. Slowly pour about 2 ounces of engine oil into the intake pipe or manifold while hand cranking the engine. This will allow for a thin coat of oil on the valves and upper cylinder. DO NOT USE starter to turn engine or serious engine damage may result.

7. Tape the openings of the intake and exhaust manifolds with duct tape to help prevent corrosion of the upper cylinder during layup.

8. Scrape all rust or corrosion from exposed metal parts and surfaces. Scrub all metal surfaces with detergent and rinse thoroughly. Paint any bare metal.

9. Place a dust cover over engine. Do not leave the engine exposed to rain and sea breeze.

10. Disconnect the battery cables; remove the battery from the boat. Clean the terminal ends and battery with a solution of baking soda and water, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Apply a light coat of grease on the terminal end of the battery and cables. Store the battery in a cool dry place. Use a trickle charger to keep battery charged. Do

not charge battery near any open flame or a confined area.

CAUTION: Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves to protect your skin.

Winterizing Raw Water Cooled Diesel Engines

1. Drain crankcase and transmission and refill with fresh oil as specified in the engine manual. Change oil filters.

2. Close seacock, remove raw water pickup hose from water pump, attach 4-foot (1.2m) length of hose to water pump and immerse in a 5-gallon (19L) bucket of biodegradable anti- freeze solution. Remove hose from engine or manifold that leads to exhaust elbow. Attach about a 4-foot length of hose and immerse one end in the bucket of biodegradable anti- freeze solution. Start engine and run until water begins to warm up (about 3-5 min.) and the thermostat opens. Stop engine. Replace hose that leads to exhaust elbow. Star engine and let run till water comes out exhaust pipe. Stop engine, remove hose from water pump to bucket, attach hose from seacock to water pump and tighten all hose clamps.

NOTE: this procedure bypasses the sea strainer to prevent antifreeze from crystallizing sea strainer, which warranty will not cover.

3. Loosen water pump and alternator to lessen tensions on belts during winter.

4. Drain and clean all fuel filters and change elements, gaskets and seals. Bleed all air from fuel systems.

5. Pull compression release lever and turn engine slowly with hand crank. Slowly pour about 2 ounces of

engine oil into the intake pipe or manifold while engine is turning. DO NOT USE the starter to turn engine or serious engine damage may result.

6. Tape the openings of the intake and exhaust manifolds with duct tape to help prevent corrosion of the upper cylinder during lay-up.

7. Scrape all rust or corrosion from exposed metal parts and surfaces. Scrub all metal surfaces with detergent and rinse thoroughly. Paint any bare metal.

8. Place a dust cover over engine. Do not leave engine exposed to rain and sea breeze.

9. Disconnect the battery cables; remove the battery from the boat. Clean the terminal ends and battery with a solution of baking soda and water and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Apply a light coat of grease on the terminal end of the battery and cables. Store the battery in a cool dry place. Use a trickle charger to keep battery charged. Do not charge battery near any open flame or in a confined area.

CAUTION: Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves to protect your eyes and skin.

DEPARTURE FROM THE BOAT

The check list for leaving a boat unattended is very important because items overlooked often will not be remembered until you are far from the boat and corrective actions are impractical or impossible.

Primary choices for this list are items relating to the safety and security of the unattended craft: turning off fuel valves, properly setting electrical switches, pumping out bilge and leaving the switch on automatic (or arrange for periodic pumping out). It

is recommended that the power be turned off when leaving the boat. Other departure checklist

items are securing ports, windows, hatches and doors.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance checklists should include items based on how much the boat is used (usually in terms of engine hours) and on calendar dates (weekly, monthly or seasonal checks). Typical of the former are oil level checks and changes, and oil and fuel filter changes. On a calendar basis the lists should note such matters as electrolyte levels in storage batteries, pressure gauges on dry chemical fire extinguishers, and all navigation lights. Check the operation of automatic bilge alarms or pump switches by running water into the boat. Periodically close and open sea cocks several times to ensure their free and easy operation in case they are needed in an emergency. Equipment and supplies carried on board for emergencies should be inspected for any signs of deterioration.

CE CERTIFIED Your Hunter has been manufactured in the United States and has been certified by the IMCI to be in compliance with the relevant parts of the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC from the European Parliament. The CE mark means your craft meets or exceeds the applicable current International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and directives as stated on the CE certificate supplied with your craft. The builder’s plate, affixed to your boat, describes various parameters involved in the design of your boat. Please refer to it regularly when operating your boat. Following are the Design Categories, established by the Recreation Craft Directive, which is to be considered a guideline of use application as per the Directive’s criteria. Hunter Marine Corporation does NOT establish these criteria, and the category indicated is only a reference to the assigned category. The safety of the captain and crew of any vessel is not measurable by such categories, and you should not interpret these categories as an indication of your safety in such condition. The skill of your captain and crew, together with proper preparation, appropriate safety equipment for the given conditions and a well maintained vessel are critical to safe sailing.

CE CRAFT DESIGN CATEGORIES Category A – “Ocean”: Craft designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort Scale) and include significant wave heights of 4m, for vessels that are largely self-sufficient. Category B - “Offshore”: Craft designed for offshore voyages where conditions include winds up to and including wind force 8 and significant wave heights up to and including 4m may be experienced. Category C – “Inshore”: Craft designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers, where conditions up to and including wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to and including 4m may be experienced. Category D – “Sheltered Waves”: Craft designed for voyages on small lakes, rivers and canals, where conditions up to and including wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to and including 0.5m may be experienced.

H46 B&R RIG WITH STRUTS DESCRIPTION

The B&R rig, utilized on the Hunter H46, eliminates the need for a backstay to allow for a more efficient mainsail shape. Fixed backstays are commonly being designed out of today’s performance-oriented boats to allow the mainsail to incorporate a full roach design - a more aerodynamic shape both for racing and cruising performance.

To accomplish this, the B&R rig has 30 degree swept spreaders, creating 120 degrees between each rigging point. This tri-pod arrangement has excellent strength for sailboat rigs, and has been used for years to support huge radio towers.

The latest advancement to the B&R rig is the addition of mast struts. These struts stabilize the lower section of the mast, allowing compression loads to be spread, reducing the point loading at the mast base. They also create a strong point for the boom and spinnaker pole loadings. The struts function also allow us to use a smaller mast section reducing weight aloft to decrease the heeling and pitching moments, making for a more comfortable ride. Additionally, they provide a secure handhold when going forward.

The struts perform an important structural function, therefore never sail

your boat without the struts properly fitted. If your H46 is equipped with the

in-mast furling option, the mast is a larger section size and the struts are not utilized.

Additional support is given to the B&R rig (and is unique to it) with the addition of reverse diagonal rigging. For example, the diagonals that you see beginning by the top of the mast strut, ending at the tip of the spreader, supports and stabilizes the lower section of the mast as it creates a triangle with

the lower shroud. The top RD2 runs from above the lower spreader base to the end of the top spreader, and stabilizes the top section of the mast.

The B&R rig is designed to be pre-bent to further add rigidity to the mast section and eliminate the need for adjustable rigging (like backstay adjusters). This design should prove more reliable than a rig with adjustable backstays or runners, as there is less chance for error.

The large main, small jib, sail plan on the H46 also eliminates the need for large overlapping headsails (genoas), as the driving power comes from the much improved shape and size of the mainsail. This allows for an easier tacking small jib, creating good performance and more comfortable sailing as it is less work for the crew.

As the large main is creating additional mainsheet and leach loading, Hunter has included a cockpit arch whereby the mainsheet and leech loads are directed to the strong part of the boom (the outboard end) and is located at the heaviest loading point of the mainsail. The cockpit arch serves addition safety and comfort functions as handholds and cockpit canvas attachment points.

B&R rigs have been used on thousands of sailboats, and we are proud to incorporate this successful design on your new Hunter.
