Yacht Manual DEHLER 35
48 - 63
7.1 Leak stoppers
In the event of a seacock or hull opening being damaged your Dehler 35 is equipped with
several leak stoppers made of soft wood, the diameters of those fit to the different sizes of hull
opening so that each opening can be blocked.
Important
Close the ball valves*), when you leave the boat. Ball valves in enclosed spaces (for example
toilet areas) should only be opened for use.
.
*)In case there is a valve on a through hull fitting in the drainage pipe, because the through
hull is closed to or below waterline, the valve should be always open. It is only an emergency
shut off in case of a damaged hose. Please take care on a regular base that the valve will work
fine in order to open and shut. This is also recommended for the cooling water valve at
saildrive.
Note
With ball cocks you can easily see if they are closed or open:
CLOSED: lever is transverse to the hose or pipe
OPEN. the lever is aligned to the hose or pipe

Danforth anchor, which can be stowed safely in the equipment locker.
