Owners Handbook 14
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.
