Beneteau 311

As you enter the cockpit you see the 32" wheel and all the pedestal controls. A single control on the starboard side of the pedestal operates the throttle and transmission. Gauges, and ignition are housed within the binnacle under an open acrylic protective cover.

This Beneteau 311 is fitted with the durable 2GM20F Yanmar diesel. It shows 1432 hours. Current owner has kept all service history since he took ownership. The engine is conveniently located beneath the removable companionway stairs. Once open, you will find easy access to engine service points and batteries. The compartment is lined with sound proof insulation for quiet motoring. The engine, batteries are clean and the compartment looks tidy and well kept.

The 12v electrical system is configured with 2 deep cycle lead acid batteries (~75Ah each). One is for starting and the other is for house loads.

The batteries are charged while on shore power and by the engines alternator while motoring. Another great feature is a 50 watt solar panel that provides a charge while at anchor.

Forward of the control pedestal is an attached table that cantilevers up and collapses down depending on your needs. There is a large lazarrette just under the cushion on the starboard side of the cockpit. Just aft of the lazarrette is an easy access to the isolated propane locker. The fender baskets are a great touch. Looking aft of the helm and lifting the hump seat, you find easy access to the transom sugar scoop and swim platform.
The nonskid and gelcoat on the decks, in the cockpit as well as the hull, all appear to be well taken care of.

There is easy access along the outboard side of the decks, to access the water filler cap as well as the diesel filler. The black water pump out is located on the starboard side deck.

There are 2 main cabins for family and crew.

Worth mentioning is the Webasto Force Air cabin heater for those chilly mornings and evenings.

The navigation station is just starboard of the companion way. It offers great access to navionic controls as well as electric control boards. The chart table is good sized with a lifting top revealing a surprising amount of storage space below.

There is a good sized wet head just aft of the chart table. Moving forward is a wide salon with a sturdy, dual drop leaf table.

To port and starboard are 2 large settees. With the table folded into the up position, one could easily seat 6 guests. The settees serve as comfortable berths for guests as well. The V-berth is quite large with a removable entry cushion, handy for reaching forward to grab sails or a pillow.
