2.2 Tanks and pipes – fuel 
Storage tank 

There  is  a  210  l  plastic  diesel  tank  with  an  inspection  opening  on  starboard-side  below  the  aft 
berths. It is filled via a fuel inlet with a chrome cover (marked with DIESEL) at the transom of the 
yacht.  The  tank  pickup  is  situated  on  the  tank.  The  supply  is  made  of  a  fire-proof  fuel  hose 
according to ISO 7840. The vent line is led to above deck. 
 

Supply of the engine 

The engine is supplied via a suction pipe from the upper edge of the tank. Due to the short distance 
a fire proof fuel pipe is used throughout. This is led via a wide-meshed filter/ water separator, fuel 
pump and fine filter to the engine and then back to the tank. 
 

Attention  

A trouble free operation of the engine and heating is only possible, if the fuel is 
clean. That’s why a regular inspection and cleaning of filter/water separator is 
unavoidable. 
The fuel tank should be completely emptied and cleaned once a year. 

 

Warning

 

When refilling the tank: 

-

 

Switch off the engine, heating and stove! 

-

 

Do not smoke or use open lights! 

 
2.3 Steering gear 
2.3.1 Description of the system 

The  rudder  is  a  suspended,  balanced  hydrofoil  mid  ship  rudder.  It  is  operated  by  hand  from  the 
steering wheels at the steering posts in the cockpit. Transmission of power is realised by means of 
rope pulls and fairleads to the rudder quadrant. With the autopilot (option) there is an electric motor 
installed. 
 

2.3.2 Rudder blade and rudder bearings 

The rudder blade is a profiled one. It consists of a FRP-body. The rudder post with a diameter of 
60mm is made of a sea-water resistant aluminium alloy and is laminated into the blade. The post 
runs in two easy-going and special rudder bearings. The rudder is fixed by a mounting clip at the 
upper end of the post that also serves for the keeping of the rudder tiller. 
The mounting clip is additionally secured with a straight stud bolt on the rudder post. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  rudder  bearings  used  by 

BAVARIA  YACHTBAU

  are  self-setting 

bearings.  Since  rudder  bearings  are  subject  to  wear  and  tear  they  should  be 
inspected and maintained regularly. 
 

Emergency tiller  

The emergency tiller is stored in the starboard locker seat. 
In case of emergency remove the steering wheel, the rudder quadrant for rudder 
bar and/or the quadrant for the auto pilot (option). Moreover the rudder head-
cover has to be removed and the emergency tiller to be mounted and secured. 
 
 
 
 
 

Attention 

Check regularly and repair if necessary: 
Tight hold of the mounting clip on the rudder post. 

Attention 

Please  ensure  a  suitable  bearing  lubrication  of  the 
necessary  parts  of  the  rudder  installation  with  water-
proof lubricants (or Teflon). Bearing clearance has to be 
avoided and can be adjusted at the top bearing. 
The  post  must  have  no  clearance  but  should  not  need 
heavy movements
