Introduction

Moody yachts are manufactured by Marine Projects (Plymouth) Limited. High quality raw materials are used throughout and all major components are manufactured to strict tolerances to allow for easy replacement and repair during the yacht's life. Strict quality control exists during the manufacture of all yachts. All ancillary components such as hatches, winches, pumps, etc. are supplied by manufacturers with a proven record of quality and reliability.

All specifications given in this handbook are given in good faith. Marine Projects (Plymouth) Limited implement a policy of continual development and therefore reserve the right to improve the specification without notice. The specifications given in this handbook supersede any previously stated specifications.

Marine Projects (Plymouth) Limited, their agents, distributors or publishers cannot

be held responsible for any inaccuracies or

ommissions

in this handbook or for any injuries to anyone, however caused, engaged in any activity involving a Moody yacht or its ancillary equipment either on land or in the water.

This manual is intended to give the owner a better understanding of the construction of a Moody yacht, the layout of its systems and how to service and maintain it to best effect.

A well maintained yacht is ultimately more reliable and retains a higher resale value.

Safety

It is the duty of the skipper/owner of the yacht to ensure that the vessel and its crew are fit to go to sea. Information concerning safety at sea can be obtained from the Royal Yachting Association (RYA),

Coastguards and the International

Maritime Organisation

(IMO),

who provide guidence and booklets on the subject.

Hull,

deck gear & below decks

Hull

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is used throughout the construction of the hull and

decks. Hull stiffening is achieved using balsa or foam

stiffeners

moulded to the inside of the hull and by the fitting of bulkheads. Each bulkhead is bonded in position using

GRP

and then further secured with bolts through the

GRP

bonding. An inner GRP floor also adds to the strength and stability of the hull. Extra strengthening is also applied to the keel attachment area in order to withstand the loads imposed on the keel. Deck areas are surfaced with an integrally moulded non slip finish.

Keels

The following keel options are

available:-

Seacocks________________________________________

Seacocks are fitted to all inlets and outlets which penetrate the hull below the

waterline. The hull area around the penetration point is reinforced with an internal plywood backing plate which is resin coated and bedded on compound. With the

exception of the engine cooling system inlet, all current Moody yachts are fitted

with a ball valve combined with a skin fitting.

Water inlet seacock and strainer

This type of seacock is fitted to the engine

cooling system inlet and it is operated as

follows:

1 To open - turn the knob anticlockwise

2 To close - turn the knob clockwise

Skin

fittingi'seacock

This type of seacock is used for sink,

shower and cockpit drains and marine

toilet

inlet and outlets. It is operated as

follows: 1 To open - turn the lever to align with

the inlet/outlet hose.

2 To close - turn the lever until it is at

right angles to the inlet/outlet hose.

Cathodic protection

All yachts are fitted with hull mounted sacrificial anodes as these give the best results. These are usually mounted

the region of the engine compartment

keep

the bonding cable run to a minimum.

Attachment

This is achieved by using studs permanently fixed to the inside of the hull to which

the anode is secured using nuts and locking washers.

Bonding

Bonding cables are internally attached to the mounting studs. The anode is bonded to the engine, stern tube, rudder stock and

bracket. There is no requirement for

the more remote skin fittings and seacocks or the keel mounting bolts to be

protected.

Using the windlass

It is recommended that your anchor chain is suitably marked to indicate the

amount of chain you have out while at anchor.

When lying at anchor in a heavy swell the chain will snatch either causing chain slip

or excessive loads to be applied to the windlass. For safety it is recommended that

a rope bridle be applied to transfer the load to a cleat.

Below decks

Upholstery_______________________________________

Your yacht has been upholstered with either the Christiana, Ravenna, Dash or

Onyx range of materials. They all meet the Fire and Safety Regulation Act and

have been tested to BS5852

PTL

For information on care of your upholstery refer

to the maintenance section.

Issue 3

Page 1.7

Maintenance

Hull

Minor scratches and abrasions should be attended to in their early stages, initially

by using a medium grade rubbing compound. If this is ineffective, rub the area

lightly with 400 grade wet and dry paper (used with water) until the mark

disappears. Smooth the area with 800 grade followed by 1200 grade (both wet) and

then apply a silicone free wax polish.

Stress cracks should be looked at by an expert and some remedial action taken.

f Rubbing with abrasive compounds and materials removes the

gelcoat.

As this is only a thin

* layer, great care should be taken.

Annual cleaning

Wash the hull annually with warm water containing a little detergent. Stubborn stains and polish should be removed with a recommended release agent or oil removing fluid. Polish the hull with a silicone free wax polish.

Seacocks________________________________________

Check regularly:

1 Security of attachment

2 Security and condition of hose and hose clips 3 Free operation of the valve

Sacrificial

anodes____________________________________

The anode should be replaced when it is approximately two thirds eroded. If any doubt exists as to whether the anode will survive the season - change it! The core

of the anode is a galvanised steel strip which provides the attachment lugs for the

anode. The anode is removed by undoing the two securing nuts and washers. It is

recommended that when replacing the anode, the nuts, washers and backing sheet

are also replaced.

Page 1.8 Issue 3

Antifouling______________________________________

Antifouling

should be checked on a regular basis and replaced at least once a

season.

_____________________

Upholstery_________________________________________

Cleaning

Dust and grit should be removed frequently with a soft brush or the upholstery

attachment of a vacuum cleaner.

Creases

Where creases occur, raise the pile by brushing with a clean, damp cloth. Do not

saturate the fabric as the cotton backing may shrink. When dry, brush in the

direction of the pile with a soft brush.

Stains

Take immediate action, the longer stains are left the more difficult it is to remove them. Nearly all stains can be removed by sponging lightly with warm water or a dry foam upholstery shampoo. If this is not effective, covers can be removed and dry

cleaned. If heavily stained it is recommended that a reputable upholstery cleaner

is called in.

Ventilators______________________________________

Ensure that there is no entry of water through the deck seal. Reseal if necessary.

Sails, spars & rigging

Spars

and

rig___________________________

Your yacht is fitted with a Kemp aluminium mast and boom which, given good

support, proper handling and caring routine mainenance, should be remarkably

durable. Information on stepping the mast

can

be gained from the Kemp handbook

supplied with the yacht.

Rigging______________________________

Standing

rigging_____________________________________

The standing rigging is the only support provided for the mast and it is vital that it is adjusted and maintained correctly. In a seaway, if the rig is too slack, the mast

head or spreader area can build up movement thereby increasing the shock loading

on the stays. On the other hand, overtensioned rigging puts a higher total load on

the stays and can be just as damaging. The entire standing rigging is stainless steel including all terminals, toggles, bottle screws and wire ropes. Some yachts are fitted

with a furling

headsail

system and an

in-mast

furling mainsail system. For further

information refer to

'Hints

and advice on rigging and tuning your Kemp

Mast',

supplied with the yacht.

Rigging adjustment

Stainless steel rigging stretches and should therefore be regularly checked and adjusted, particularly during the first season. It is recommended that reference be

made to the instructions given in

'Hints

and advice on rigging and tuning your Kemp

Mast'

supplied with the yacht.

Running rigging

The running rigging comprises all the lines and relative mechanics used to hoist and

control the sails, this includes halyards, sheets, guys, lifts, downhauls and outhauls together with their various shackles, blocks, cleats and winches. It is essential that

they are inspected regularly for any signs of wear or stress. Information on types of cordage, wire ropes and fittings can be gained from a good chandler.

Sails

All yachts are supplied with Lucas sails which are manufactured from woven dacron. This material has good tensile strength, resists abrasion and is not unduly affected by moisture, however, it can be damaged by ultra-violet light and should not therefore be exposed unnecessarily to sunlight. If treated with care and

maintained correctly these sails should give many seasons good service.

Folding

Sails_____________________________________

Mainsail

If your yacht does not have a self-furling mainsail system, one of the easiest methods of folding is with the sail still on the boom:

1 Tighten topping lift to support boom.

2 Lower the sail fully.

3 Ensure the coachroof hatches are closed.

4 Ease the tension in the foot of the sail by releasing the clew outhaul. 5 Remove the battens to minimise stretch and chafing in the batten pockets. 6 Stand close to the mast on the opposite side of the pile of mainsail.

7 With an assistant at the leech, take hold of the sail about eighteen inches from

the boom , pull up together and lay the sail halfway over the boom. The bottom

of the hanging fold should be just below the bottom of the boom.

8 Take a further foot of sail and fold back over the boom in the opposite direction.

9 Continue this layering action until the entire sail is laid over the boom. 1 o Secure the sail to the boom using sail ties.

The halyard can either be removed and stowed or left attached to the head of

the sail. If left on the sail, secure to the boom by passing a sail tie through the

head of the sail and then tension the halyard.

If the sail is to remain folded for more than a few hours, put the sail cover on to

prevent damage.

Issue 3 Page 2.7

Headsails

Some yachts are fitted with furling headsails but if not, the headsail must be removed and bagged when not in use.

Bagging

1 Put the head of the sail into the sailbag.

2 Work the luff, leech and body of the sail in together.

3 Leave the tack and clew until last and pass the sailbag neck cord through both

tack and clew before drawing tight. This enables the tack to be connected to the stemhead and the sheets to be fitted to the clew before the sail is released from

the sailbag. The sheets can then be run back and secured without being snatched by the sail. The sail can also be hanked to the forestay, one hank at a time, until only the head is left to be attached to the halyard. In adverse conditions sails bagged in this way can save a great deal of time on the foredeck.

Folding

1 Lay the headsail out flat in a convenient position, a pontoon or jetty is ideal.

2 The sail should then be folded following the steps illustrated.

Folding a headsail

Page 2.8

Issue 3

Setting

sails______________________________________

No yacht

wil

sail well if the sails are badly set. The points which follow are therefore

included to assist in setting sails correctly.

Hoisting

Whilst this is a very straight forward procedure in itself, the amount of tension in the halyard depends on wind conditions. All modern sails respond well to differing

tensions. Hoist the sail fully ensuring that on a mainsail there are no wrinkles in the

luff and also that on a

headsail

the luff does not curve away from the forestay

between the hanks. Creases in a sail are the first sign of incorrect tension and

depending on their position on the sail, indicate whether there is too much or too

little tension in the halyard.

Sheeting and trimming

The basic rule of sail sheeting is "let it out till it flaps,

pul

it in till it stops."

Trimming and sheeting are best explained in books specifically written for the

purpose. It is recommended that every yacht's library has one.

Kicker

This controls the amount of twist in the mainsail and also ensures that the boom

does not

'kick

up'.

Therefore, there must always be some tension in the kicking

strap, the only exception being when the mainsail is sheeted in hard. The easiest

way to tension the kicking strap to the optimum position is by using the top batten

as a guide. This should be parallel to the boom. If it lies to leeward, tighten the

kicking strap and if it lies to windward loosen it.

Mainsail

reefing_____________________________________

All current production yachts are fitted with either slab reefing or in-mast furling

systems.

Issue 3 Page 2.9

Maintenance

Rigging checks

During the sailing season when your yacht is in commission, regular maintenance checks should be carried out and particularly before a long voyage.

1 Examine all steel/wire ropes for corrosion, wear and damage.

2 Examine all terminations for signs of wear, cracks or damage. Pay particular

attention to all split pins, they should be the largest size possible to pass through

the cotter pinhole with at least 3/4" protruding through the hole.

3 Examine all bottle screws for signs of wear or damage and ensure they are

'in

safety',

i.e. the inner threads are visible through both safety holes. Where bottle

screws are covered with tape or plastic tubing, remove to enable examination.

4 Ensure the ends of the spreader bar are protected to prevent sail

chafing.Ensure

the rig is correctly adjusted.

5 Remove halyards from the mast leaving messenger lines for

rereefing.

6 Check all running rigging for signs of wear, paying particular attention to all eye

splices and end terminations. On the wire/rope halyards check the wire rope

splice. If the rope side of the splice is starting to swell then the wire has started

to rust and the halyard should be replaced. Wash halyards which are not being

replaced and soak rope joins in linseed oil (also soak joins on new halyards).

7 Check over the standing rigging paying particular attention to the wire where it

enters the swage fittings. Should there

any sign at all of cracking in any one

of the wire strands then replace the shroud concerned.

8 Look for signs of wear of ridging on clevis pins where they may rock or work in

chain plates or shroud tangs, also

look

for corresponding wear on mating fittings.

9 Where shrouds locate into mast by means of a shroud terminal in a slot, ensure

that there is no undue wear.

Renew all split pins for recommissioning.

Roller

furling_______________________________________

Roller furling gear must be lubricated and cleaned regularly in accordance with the

manufacturers

recommendations..

Sails__________________________________________

Sails should be checked regularly and repairs effected for the following: 1 Chaffing occurring mainly at spreaders and on foot of large sails.

2 Tears at batten pockets and at all attachment points, tack, clew, head, sail and

reefing cringles. 3 Any other damage. 4 When a sail is lowered it should be bagged and stowed below as soon as possible.

5 On return to harbour, release the tension on the clew

outhaul

of the main,

remove batterns, flake the sail over the boom, secure with ties and put on sail

cover.

6 Furling headsails and mainsails should be checked carefully for any signs of wear

on the stitched seams.

Ropes___________________________________________

All ropes should be checked regularly during the season for the following:

1 Signs of wear or damage where constantly cleated, clamped or passed round

sheave blocks or through fairleads.

2 Damage to whipping or heat shrink sleeves.

3 All splices are serviceable. It is important where polyester ropes are spliced to

steel wire ropes, such as halyards.

Maintenance

Rudders

Rudders become less efficient as bush wear increases. Bushes should therefore be checked at the end of each season and repaired as necessary. Rudders may leak

slightly as the 'O' rings become worn. These should be checked at the end of each

season and replaced as necessary.

Wheel

Steering

Systems_______________________________

Whitlock Cobra and Constellation steering systems are extremely robust, reliable and relatively maintenance free. In order for the system to maintain its

performance, the following is recommended.

1 Periodically wash the paint finish of the pedestal with fresh water. Wax with

conventional car polish.

2 Check that water is not gaining entry to the inside of the pedestal assembly. A

drain hole is proveded in the lower housing to allow for draining of any

condensation. If large quantities of water are evident it will be necessary to remove the top cover and reseal using a proprietary sealant. Take care to remove all old sealant from the pedestal head and top cover before attempting to apply

new sealant.

Idf

a compass is fitted check that it is also properly sealed.

3 At lewast twice a season regrease the lower bearing via the grease nipple

Valvolene XL and Vickers Neox greases are recommended.

4 Inspect Cobra systems for security of tiller arm and draglink annually. Ensure

draglink joints rotate freely.

Constellation systems only

1 Inspect conduits and wire assemblies for wear and damage annually.

2 Periodically check the tension in the wires. To adjust, proceed as follow:

Slacken the lock nut and retaining nut. Pull the cable tight by hand and tighten

the retaining nut as far as possible by hand. Tighten the lock nut to

30ft/lbs

using

a torque wrench. Check steering for backlash. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN

this will cause excessive wear on the cables, heavy steering and loss of

'feel'.

3 At least twice a season and before an major voyage, check the security of

quadrant mounting bolts. Lubricate eyebolts and sheave bush with Silicone

based grease.

The stainless steel wire

used

has a finite life. It is recommended that it is renewed

after every fifth season.

Running

-In______________________________________

It is recommended to run-in new engines (20 hours) following these basic points:

1 Do not excessively rev engine.

2 In the event of a warning light or alarm, stop the engine immediately. 3 All gear changes should be implemented at low engine revolution (i.e. from

neutral).

4 Place gear selection control in reverse position or for fixed bladed props, to

reduce drag, prop can be left in neutral whilst under sail. Never put the gear

lever in the position corresponding to the yacht's direction of travel.

5 Run the engine occasionally during long voyages to keep batteries charged. 6 Do not switch off the ignition and battery switch until engine has fully stopped. 7 Ensure that servicing is carried out by an official service agent. 8 Check engine anode (see cathodic protection).

The cooling system is filled with liquid and should be drained when there is risk of

frost and during

winterisation.

In certain cases a suction action may occur when the sea water system is being drained. Close all drainage points when the boat is not under constant supervision. Incorrect drainage can cause the yacht to fill with water and sink.

Your engine has been installed in precise alignment with the shaft. However, with

flexibly mounted engines it is possible for misalignment to occur, it is good practise

to have it checked when the engine is being serviced. Care should be taken not to soil the rubber mounts with diesel or lubricants as this

will cause deterioration of the rubber.

Page 4.2 Issue 3

Fuel

systems_____________________________

Fuel

tank_________________________________________

The fuel tanks for all yachts are constructed from heavy gauge mild steel, externally

treated with a corrosion resistant paint finish. Where tanks are exposed to damage

by stowed equipment, a regular check should be made to ensure there is no damage

to the external finish causing rust spots to develop. To prevent condensation

forming inside the tank, keep the fuel tank full whenever possible.

Fuel

stopcock____________________________________

All yachts have a stopcock fitted in the fuel feed line. Unless the fuel system is

undergoing repairs or maintenance, it is normal to leave the stopcock on. If the

engine is run with the stopcock turned

off,

an airlock may occur which will making

it necessary to bleed the system.

FuelfiUer_________________________________________

A fuel filter is mounted on a bulkhead within the engine compartment.

Water

trap_________________________________________

A diesel water tap is mounted on a bulkhead within the engine compartment. The

bowl should be

checked

periodically for water content and drained as necessary.

Return

pipes______________________________________

All diesel engine installations in Moody yachts are fitted with fuel return pipes to

allow surplus fuel to be returned to the tank.

Fuel

contents_____________________________________

Fuel tank contents are determined by either sightglass or fuel gauge.

Issue 3 Page 4.3

Cooling systems

The basic cooling system is illustrated below. Seawater is drawn into the system by

the engine impeller, entering the yacht through a skin fitting. It passes through a seacock and a filter before passing through the engine and the mixer box and out

through the exhaust system. Its passage through the engine depends on the type of

cooling system.

Raw

water

cooled

engines______________________________

In this type of engine the raw seawater circulates through galleries in the engine

and gearbox before being injected into the exhaust pipe for discharge.

Heat

exchanger

cooled

engines____________________________

This type of system uses fresh water which circulates through the engine and a heat

exchanger in a closed circuit. Raw seawater passes through the heat exchanger

where the heat is transferred from the closed circuit freshwater system. The heated

seawater is then injected into the exhaust system for discharge. This type of engine

runs at a slightly higher temperature than the raw water type.

Page 4.4

Issue 3

WaterfiUer______________________________________

This is a very basic strainer forming part of the water inlet seacock (see illustration on page 1.2). Inspection and cleaning should be carried out as follows:

1 Ensure the seacock is in the closed position.

2 Unscrew the wing nuts and swing the cap aside.

3 Withdraw the plastic filter and

inspect/clean.

4 Reassemble, ensuring the cap is clamped tightly to prevent leakage.

If air is drawn into the system through this filter, the engine may overheat

causing damage.

5 Turn on the seacock and check for leaks.

Exhaust

systems_________________________

The injection of the exhaust gasses into the cooling water in the mixer box reduces

the temperature of the exhaust gasses allowing them to be discharged through

reinforced rubber tubing and a stainless steel

skin

fitting. The exhaust tube has a

'swan

neck'

to reduce the possibility of seawater being forced into the exhaust and

into the cylinders, causing damage to the engine. This problem can further be avoided if the following action is taken:

After three or four attempts to start a stubborn engine, turn off the water inlet

seacock until the engine starts.

When starting the engine check that water is being ejected through the exhaust

within 20 seconds. If not, switch off and investigate. First check that the water inlet

seacock is open.

Engine stop mechanisms

Diesel engines are stopped by preventing the fuel being injected into the cylinders.

This is achieved using a cable operated control marked

'STOP'

To stop, pull and

hold the control knob until the engine has stopped. When the engine has stopped,

push the control knob back to the

'RUN'

position. Then switch off the engine

ignition.

This control also operates a cold start, by pulling out once before trying to start

engine.

If it is not pushed all the way in, the engine will not start.

On engines fitted with mechanical stop

systems,

do not turn the key to the

'off-position

whilst

* the engine is running. This can seriously damage the charging

system,

particularly the

alternator.

Page 4.6

Issue 3

If your engine fails to start,

when

the batteries are in good condition, check

first that the engine

'stop'

control is in the

'run'position.

On engines fitted with mechanical stop systems, do not turn the key to the

'off

position whilst the engine is running. This can seriously damage the charging

system, particularly the alternator.

If your engine fails to start, when the batteries are in good condition, check first

that the engine

'STOP'

control is in the

'Run'

position.

Eclipse 38 and 43 engine stop mechanisms

For yachts fitted with

thorneycroft

engines:

1 Ensure gear lever is in neutral and engine revs are idling.

2 Press and hold the engine STOP button until audible alarm sounds.

3 Turn ignition switch (key) to the OFF position.

Turbocharged

engines

(optional)________________

The turbocharger is used primarily to attain higher power output with better fuel

economy.

Turbocharging

is a form of supercharging which uses exhaust gases to

drive a compressor to force more air into the

cylinders.

This means that more fuel

can be injected into the cylinders and thus produce more power.

Operating

instructions

(turbocharged

engines)____________________

The same operating procedure applies as for the basic engine but attention should

be paid to the following points:

1 Do not run at idling speed for too long. The temperature in the combustion

chamber becomes too low for effective combustion and the engine produces

very unpleasant black exhaust fumes.

2 Do not attempt to charge batteries at idling speed as most generators and

alternators only charge above 1500 rpm.

3 Volvo 2003T engines should be run at 2,500 rpm or more for

25%

of the engine

running time to avoid low temperature glazing of the cylinder bores.

Issue 3 Page 4.7

4 If the engine has been run hard for a long period, let it idle for a few minutes

before switching off. This is sometimes known as

'Turbo

Run

Down'.

In all

engines, it will avoid the

risk

'After

Boil',

a condition where the cooling system

temperature continues to rise because of lack of circulation. Overheating can

cause excessive bearing wear in the

turbocharger.

Stern

gear_____________________________

All yachts are fitted with a 'P' bracket type stern bearing. The strut is either pinned

through iroko hardwood blocks secured to the hull and glassed over, or bolted to a

reinforced

area to the hull. One securing bolt is electrically bonded to the sacrificial

anode for

cathodic

protection. A water lubricated

'Cutlass'

bearing supports the

stainless steel propeller shaft. The propeller shaft passes through a GRP stern tube

which is bonded to the hull. The tube is offset to enable the shaft to be withdrawn

without obstruction from the rudder.

All yachts use either 1" or

cutlass bearings in the

bracket.

This type of water lubricated bearing is normally manufactured from neoprene or

polyurethane

and has a long life in clean water. High silt, sand and mud levels will

cause accelerated wear.

Page 4.8

Issue 3

Calcium deposits

Where yachts remain unused for long periods it is possible for a hard calcium deposit to form on the propeller shaft.

this deposit forms between the joins in the

cutlass bearing, when the shaft revolves for the first tune the hard calcium deposit

can cause damage to the bearing surface. This is normally associated with noise and

vibration from the bearing area. If this happens stop the engine immediately and

investigate. The deposit can be removed with a sharp scraper. To gain access to the

bearing area, uncouple the propeller shaft at the engine and slide it back until the

affected area is exposed.

Stern

glands_____________________________________

The stern glands on all yachts have

PTFE

packing. This type of gland is water

lubricated, but the locking nut should be given a partial turn daily prior to motoring to prevent the ingress of water.

Bow thrusters___________________________

The Eclipse 43 and 38 have a three bladed propeller sited inside a transverse tube

near the bow. The symmetrical design produces equal thrust whichever way it

rotates and allows for precise

manoevring.

It is advisable to keep operation of the bow

thruster

to a minimum as it uses

a high level of battery power.

Issue 3 Page 4.9

Maintenance

Basic engine care

The following basic points, if adhered to, will ensure long engine life. The most

critical period in the life of a marine

diesel

engine is the first 20 - 30 running hours.

If in any doubt, the engine manufacturer's manual should be referred to. 1 Do not start an engine unless you are sure:

• Engine oil level is satisfactory.

• Gearbox oil level is satisfactory.

• Coolant level is satisfactory (Heat exchanger cooled engines only).

• Throttle set correctly - OUT OF GEAR.

• Fuel stopcock turned on.

• Fuel is free from contamination.

• Water inlet seacock is turned on.

2 Immediately after starting, check:

• Oil pressure warning light extinguished.

• Charging light extinguished (or ammeter reading satisfactory).

• Water emission from exhaust.

3 Avoid high revs.

4 Allow engine revs to decrease to idle before changing gear.

5 Do not allow engine to run at a low idle for long periods (associated with the

production of black noxious fumes).

6 During running, check any instrumentation, ie, water temperature gauge, oil

pressure warning light, etc.

7 Prior to stopping engine allow to idle for a few minutes with the gear lever in

neutral.

8 After stopping engine return

'STOP'

control to the

'Run'

position.

Page 4.10 Issue 3

9 Ensure the first service is carried out by a manufacturer recommended agent.

Ensure all subsequent services are carried out at the correct frequency.

Ensure ONLY the correct lubricants are used.

12 Adhere to all manufacturer's recommendations.

Keep an engine log.

Turbochargers____________________________________

Correct lubrication is critical for turbocharged engines using the correct grade at

the recommended frequency.

Batteries - 12Vsystem_______________________________

Most yachts use a 12 Volt electrical system with either two or three batteries.

Batteries will deteriorate rapidly if not maintained correctly.

Battery isolation switch

All yachts are fitted with a four

way battery isolation switch which allows the batteries to be

connected in parallel for engine

starting. The following points

should be

noted:-

1 Always switch off batteries

when not required or on

charge.

2 Use one battery for the

engine and the other for

auxiliary uses. When the auxiliary battery becomes

flat, start the engine using

the engine battery and fully

charge the system.

3 Ensure that auxiliary

batteries are always fully

charged, enabling them to be used to start the engine should the engine battery be flat.

Ensure battery switch is turned to

'both'

'1&2'

when engine is

running. Never switch batteries off

when engine is running.

Shore power

-240Vsystem

The standard shore power system consists of:

Input socket

Residual current operated circuit breaker Main double pole circuit breaker

Polarity test system

Voltimeter

Six circuit breaker/switches

Input socket

Situated in the cockpit area, this is used to connect the boats system to the supply

from the shore. The standard socket is a 220/240V 15A type.

Residual current circuit breaker

(RCCB)

Situated in the egine

room/sail

locker between the input socket and the main

distribution panel, this is a 30mA type and is used to protect the system and its users. This device will trip out if there is a voltage change between positive and negative anywhere in the boats 240 Volt system after this unit.

Main double pole circuit breaker

Fitted in the distribution panel, this is used to protect the outlet system from overloading. When the switch is on you will get a voltage reading on the voltimeter,

The standard loading is

ISA

if the total load exceeds this the switch will go to the

off position.

Polarity test system

Fitted in the distribution panel, this consists of three LED's, one orange and two

red, positioned on the distribution panel. It is used to ensure that the polarity of the

supply

to the boats system is correct. When the polarity is correct the two red

lights will come on, if the polarity is incorrect the orange or orange and red lights

will light up.

Page 5.2 Issue 3

Circuit

breaker/switches

All situated in the distribution panel. To switch the ring main (plug sockets) on,

push the switch in when the system is on, the LED next to the switch will light up.

The maximum loading on this circuit is the same as the total system

15A

and if the

load exceeds this it will switch off automatically.

Battery charge

For charger operation consult operators manual.

Water heater

If factory fitted this will be a 1KW type. To switch on operate as ring main, the

temperature of the water can be adjusted on the thermostat located in the top of the heater element. Ensure the fresh water system is switched on before operating

the water heater.

Spare switches

Can be used for any additional requirement but the load rating should be checked

if used.

Connection instructions

1 Check that the RCCB and the Double Pole Circuit Breaker Switch is in the off

position.

2 Plug in the Shore Support Socket and switch on supply from the shore. 3 Test RCCB then reset.

4 Check polarity is correct. 5 Switch on double pull circuit breaker switch and check voltage on meter. 6 Switch on individual output systems as required.

f If any of the switches

will

not stay in, do not hold them in. This will generally indicate that

* the circuit is

overloaded

for that size

breaker

or that there is a fault in the system or appliance

being used in the particular circuit.

Freshwater systems

Moody yachts have either manually pumped cold water systems or pressurised hot

and cold water systems. The manually pumped systems use either hand or foot pumps supplied from a freshwater tank.

Water Tanks

Where twin tanks are fitted they are connected by a balance pipe. The tanks are

filled through a single pipe and therefore time should be allowed for the water level to stabilise during

filling

operations.

Gas system_____________________________

Stowage of the gas bottle(s) is in a remote self draining locker. A regulator is fitted

on the bulkhead adjacent to the gas bottle(s) and connected via a short flexible hose

to the gas bottle. The regulator reduces the gas pressure for the yacht's low pressure

appliance^).

The supply to the cabin is via a 3/8" copper tube protected by a 3/4"

clear plastic tube, glassed to the coaming to prevent movement. The copper pipe is

terminated near the appliance. The appliance,

normally

a cooker, is connected to

the gas pipe by a short flexible hose allowing it to move in its gimbals.

Leaks_________________________________________

Should you suspect that there is a leak in the system the following procedure should

be carried

out:-

1 Ensure all naked flames are

exstinguished

and electrics are turned off.

2 Turn gas supply off at source i.e. gas bottle.

3 Disconnect gas bottle.

4 Consult a qualified engineer.
