CONTROL BOX. (fig 22)
2.1 The control box, part number RC5, is
hanging on a saddle inside the starboard
cockpit inspection port. It has;
(a)
3 leads running forward, they
are: (1) jib sheet winch - long
lead with red plug. (2) main
sheet winch - mid length lead
with white plug. (3) battery -
short lead with blue plug.
These leads run forward and
out into the cockpit via a 2
hole and a 1 hole rubber bungs,
then forward through the back of the console to the battery, the main sheet
winch, and the jib sheet winch.
(b)
2 leads running aft, (1) the larger of the 2 passing through the aft bulkhead, via
a 32mm single hole rubber bung, its yellow 9 pin plug connecting to the joy-
stick. (2) The smaller of the 2 aft leads plugs into the helm winch lead (black
plugs) which should always be hanging on a hook just aft of the starboard side
inspection port.
2.2 These plugs, except the yellow 9 way joystick plugs, should be sprayed with corrosion
guard, particularly the blue battery plug which is the one most likely to get wet.
(a)
Those left connected, ie, the male and female red jib sheet winch plugs and
the white mainsheet winch plugs can be taped together and the mainsheet
winch plugs pushed up under the console and held there with the small piece
of foam.
(b) The black helm winch plugs can also be taped together and should be sup-
ported on the plastic hook inside the starboard inspection port.
(c)
The blue battery lead plug, when disconnected from the battery, should be
plugged into the dummy female plug attached to the console close the battery
compartment. Never let these plugs lie in water. Spray them with corrosion
guard regularly.
