Winches: 

  
The primary winches are on the Seawind 1000XL2 are a pair of Harken ST40.2’s. 
These are two speed, self tailing winches used primarily for the headsail sheets and 
all halyards. 

  The winches will gradually get stiffer to use after prolonged use. This is because 

of salt and dirt build-up within the winch and because of hardening of the internal 
grease.  At least once a year, winches must be thoroughly cleaned inside and 
re-greased.  

  When dismantling a winch or any deck fitting, have a bowl close at hand to put 

parts into.  A good practice is to circle the area with a rolled towel as a barrier to 
stop any dropped parts rolling overboard.  Be especially careful when 
dismantling the winch as it contains small springs that, when released, can fly 
overboard. 

 
FUEL TANKS: 

 
There are two separate fuel tanks, each of 50 liter capacity. The  tanks are 
constructed from marine grade aluminum and pressure tested prior to installation to 
meet Australian survey standards.  
 
The fuel tanks are located in the central pod and are accessed through the two 
opening hatches under the central cockpit table. 
Each tank provides fuel to one engine only: 
 

Forward fuel tank 

Port motor 

 

Aft fuel tank   

Starboard motor 

 
NOTE: When re-fuelling, ensure that the engines are switched off and that there are 
no naked flames (including cigarettes) on the boat.  Ensure that the galley stove is 
not in use. 
 

MOTORS: 

 
A pair of 4-stroke outboard motors powers the Seawind 1000XL2.  These high 
thrust Yamaha 9.9 provide reliable, quiet propulsion.  The engines are either locked 
down or tilted up clear of the water by hydraulic rams. These rams are controlled by 
momentary switches at the starboard helm. 
 
Fuel filters are located inside each engine well and should be checked on a regular 
basis to ensure that there are no blockages or leaks that could starve the motors of 
fuel. 
 
It is recommended that you  check the tightness of the  nuts on the engine mounts 
that clamp onto the bulkheads – these will, over a period of time, require checking 
and tightening.   Ensure that the tightened nuts do NOT interfere with the engine 
raising and lowering action. 
 
The motors should be maintained and serviced as per the manufacturers 
instructions found in the owner’s handbook.
