Board ducts, sea water valves
Openings below the water line are possible weak points. That is why we pay
special attention to them.
All board ducts in the underwater part, with the exception of the duct for the
transmitter of the echo sounder, consist of stainless steel screwed joints with
spherical sea valves and hose nipples. All hose connections are secured with
two clips each. For the stearing wheel drain, special plastic joints are used.
Cockpit draining
The cockpit is drained through open stern. The stearing wheel drain is
permanently open and screwed with the cockpit sole and the skin.
Leak plugs
In case of damage of sea water valve or a board duct, we recommend you
have leak plugs on board. They should be made of soft wood in various
diameters to go well into different sizes of board ducts and capable of closing
every opening efficiently.
NOTICE
CLOSE ALL SEA VALVES IF YOU LEAVE THE YACHT FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. VALVES THAT ARE NOT CLEARLY
VISIBLE, LIKE THE ONES IN THE TOILET ROOM, SHOULD ONLY
BE OPENED WHEN IN USE.
MAINTENANCE:
THE TIGHTNESS OF BOARD DUCTS SHOULD BE INSPECTED
REGULARLY. CHECK AND RETIGHTEN ALL HOSE CLIPS AND
VALVE STUFFING BOXES IF NECESSARY.
IN CASE OF SPHERICAL VALVES A TRANSVERSE LEVER
DIRECTION INDICATES CLOSED, AND A LONGITUDINAL
DIRECTION INDICATES OPEN.
