The electric switch is mounted on the main
switch panel in the navigation station, while the
outlet is at the end of the cockpit to starboard.
The underwater hull of the DEHLER 35CWS is
of a very modern design, and there is no
classic bilge; the pumps work only if the intake
is completely submerged. Small quantities of
water will have to be removed using a sponge
and bucket.
Gas System
Blue 3-litre Camping Gaz bottles are used to
supply the semi-gimbaled gas hob and oven
installed in the galley. These bottles have a
non-return valve and safety extraction valve.
The gas bottles are stowed to port and
starboard in the stern locker under the
helmsman’s seat. The port-hand bottle is
connected, while on the starboard side there is
storage for the reserve bottle.
Caution is essential when using gas. Always
adhere to the following routine:
- Open the shut-off valve on the gas bottle in
the cockpit
- Open the shut-off valve upstream of the
cooker
- Press in and turn one of the burner control
knobs and ignite the gas.
- Hold the control knob in for approximately 10
seconds until the ‘flame-out’ safety probe is
heated enough and permits continued burning.
When turning off the cooker, first close the
burner controls, then the shut-off valve for the
cooker, and then close the shut-off valve on the
bottle. When next using the cooker, if a burner
control is opened first, and you hear a small
quantity of gas emerge when the safety knob is
pressed in, the installation is intact and
absolutely gas-tight. This gas can be ignited for
testing purposes.
If the standing ring welded to the bottom of
the gas bottle is rusty, coat it with a good
anti-rust paint to prevent rust-contaminated
water leaking over the transom later.
At temperatures below 10 degrees
Centigrade, gas is volatilized more slowly,
and a somewhat smaller flame than usual
burns at first. Consider this possibility before
assuming that the gas bottle is empty.
