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) bat-
tery - short lead with blue
plug. These leads run for-
ward 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 bulk-
head, via a 32mm single hole rubber bung, its yellow 9 pin plug connecting
to the joystick. (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 cor-
rosion 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 main-
sheet 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 to the
battery compartment. Never let these plugs lie in water. Spray them with
corrosion guard regularly.
