2) Turn OFF all mechanical and electrical equipment, including the engine, battery selector switch, cabin
lights, and electronics.
3) Remove the fuel-fill deckplate plug; clean the threads of both the plug and deckplate so that no dirt falls
into the filler opening. Place the fuel hose nozzle into the fill pipe.
4) Fill the fuel tank slowly. Do not overfill the tank. Because marine fuel expands with an increase in
temperature, fill the 50-gallon tank to only 95% of its capacity. If you cannot see the fuel pump, ask the
attendant or a crew member to call out the total gallons.
IMPORTANT: If the fuel tank is overfilled, fuel will spill out of the tank. Be ready to contain and clean up any
spillage immediately.
5) After fueling, replace the fuel-fill deckplate and clean any spillage. Check belowdeck for fumes and check
the bilge for fuel leakage. If fumes or liquid fuel are present, correct the situation before proceeding. Open
all hatches and ports to ventilate the boat.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a serious fuel spillage, STOP FUELING IMMEDIATELY. Replace the fuel-fill
deckplate and notify the attendant. Wash all traces of fuel or source of fumes; ventilate the boat. Leave the
fuel dock only when you are completely certain that a potentially dangerous condition does not exist.
When preparing to take on fuel, the following safety precautions should be followed at all times: Properly
secure the boat to the dock using bow, stern and spring lines.
Engine Maintenance
Check the engine, batteries, and engine mounts once a month. Ensure the engine is fastened securely to
the engine mount frames and look for any problems, such as fuel or oil spillage. If you need help, consult a
professional marine mechanic or a Yanmar licensed repair mechanic.
Run the engine frequently and at occasional high speeds, even if it is not in gear. One reason why sailboat
engines may burn out within a few years is that they are run infrequently and lubricating oil is not thoroughly
and evenly distributed on all moving parts. Be sure to check oil and coolant levels often. If you have any
doubts about the purity of the fuel you are buying, use a strainer to filter out water and dirt.
