PRE-DEPARTURE CHECKLIST:
Note: The engine hour meter
is above the engine on the ceiling inside the stbd entry to the engine room
The following systems/
switches/ valves should be checked prior to departure:
1.
Shore
Power: AC main breaker OFF @ Nav
station, disconnect shore power cord and stow in aft lazaret on SS hook.
2.
Turn off
inverter/charger at remote switch on the electrical panel
3.
Engine sea
strainer thru-hull open. The cooling raw
water strainer is located in aft port stateroom under the bunk.
4.
Check
coolant level in expansion tank located on the port side of engine room
bulkhead.
5.
6.
Necessary
instruments turned on at navigation station (VHF, knot meter, depth sounder,
apparent wind indicator, GPS, Automatic pilot)
7.
Engine oil level
checked by double dipping for accurate reading. Proper engine oil is DELO ww 15-40.Engine
oil level is checked from the top of engine by tilting the companion way steps
forward. Engine Room light switch is
above the expansion tank inside the engine room. NOTE: Make sure the latches are secured on the companionway steps after
closing as the steps will fold forward if stepped on them without the latches secured. Extra oil is stored in the engine room at
front of the engine. DO NOT ADD OIL
UNLESS IT IS NEAR THE ADD MARK.
Transmission fluid level is checked from the large access door on the
starboard side of the engine, accessed from the starboard stateroom. Proper transmission oil is DELO SAE ww 30.
TO START ENGINE:
1. Place shift lever in neutral
2.
Place
throttle at lowest setting plus ½ inch
3.
“Engine
Stop” T-handle on, instrument pod below binnacle, must be in DOWN position. (T-handle should ALWAYS be DOWN except when stopping the engine.)
4.
Insert key
into instrument panel keyway, turn to ON
position to activate oil and water temperature alarm sound.
5.
Turn key to
start position and release when engine starts. Warm up at 1000 RPM.
6.
Once engine
is operating, check for water discharge at exhaust outlet to determine that cooling
water is pumping through the engine.
7.
Engine idles
at approximately 600 RPM. Perform all
shifting at IDLE RPM to avoid transmission damage.
ENGINE OPERATION:
TO STOP ENGINE:
1.
Pull “Engine
Stop” T-handle UP and hold until engine stops and alarm sounds.
2.
Push “Engine
Stop” T-handle DOWN and turn start key to off position.
3.
DO NOT STOP ENGINE BY TURNING OFF THE KEY
FIRST!
4.
When sailing,
please leave transmission in neutral or reverse to avoid transmission damage.
5.
When sailing,
and with transmission set in reverse, gear shift is difficult to return to
neutral. It is OK to start the engine in
reverse and it will then shift easily to neutral.
ANCHORING SYSTEM
The
35 pound Delta anchor is attached to 70 feet of chain and 150 feet of nylon
rode which is marked at 10 foot intervals.
The 10’ closest to the anchor is painted yellow to alert caution for the
final “lift”. The electric anchor winch
is controlled by an UP switch that is energized by a Master Breaker in the
galley area at the starboard end of the forward sofa. Push in HARD to activate. A red light will acknowledge system is
activated. The water proof lift button
in the windless locker is now ready for operation. When
anchoring is complete, remember to DISENGAGE the anchor windlass circuit switch
in the galley by pulling it OUT.
Remove
chain from the gypsy on the anchor winch and lower by hand OR let it run
free. It is easily stopped by stepping
on the remaining line. Always let the
entire 70’ of chain out. Secure anchor line around the port bow cleat during
the setting of the anchor. A 3:1 scope
is usually adequate in tight anchoring.
Back up at idling speed to set the anchor, and then increase RPM to 1500
to insure the anchor is set. Use the
port bow cleat to set the anchor then transfer to the inside cleat in the
anchor locker for a “ship shape” hatch closure.
When
raising the anchor, use the main engine to position the boat over the
anchor. Do not attempt to use the anchor
windlass to pull the boat up to the anchor because this may overload the winch. Run the boat forward and pull in the rode and
coil in the bottom of the anchor locker. When the chain comes aver the roller,
place the chain into the gypsy with the trailing end dropping into the locker.
Push the black rubber-covered button to operate the winch. When pushing the button in short 3’ bursts,
the chain is retrieved and should be helped to stow neatly on top of the coiled
rode.
Help is accomplished by guiding the trailing end of the chain as it
comes off the gypsy.
NOTE! If the anchor will not break
free easily with the windlass, use the boat engine to break the anchor free
from the bottom. Secure the anchor rode
with 1:1 scope and motor slowly forward.
If the anchor is dirty, bounce it in the water. The anchor should clean itself. Then complete the hoist and stow the anchor
securely in the mount provided. Secure
the anchor in place with the chain hook provided. The bucket in the anchor locker is for
“sloshing” sea water for clean-up. The
anchor locker is self draining.
When anchoring is complete, remember to
DISENGAGE the anchor windlass circuit switch in the galley by pulling it OUT.
The
main shore power breaker is in the aft lazaret.
The “ON” position is with the switch in the FORWARD position. It is possible, but unlikely, to have
simultaneous loads which exceed the 30 amp rating of this breaker. This breaker is in series with the 30 amp
breaker on the main power distribution panel.
Always
start and operate with battery selector switch on “2” which provides approximately 600 amp hours of electrical service. Bank #1 is only used as an EMERGENCY starting
battery in the event Bank #2 is overly discharged.
This
vessel is also equipped with a “Heart Interface” which is both a 50 amp battery
charger and a 1000 watt inverter. The
unit is located in the engine room. When
you are connected to shore power CHARGER
should be ON and activated at the
“remote panel”. When shore power is
disconnected, the Inverter/ charger should be OFF. This is done at the “remote panel” at the
nav-station.
CLEANING
1.
Cleaning
supplies are under the galley sink or in the forward locker under the anchor
locker.
2.
Please avoid
using Windex, oils, or insect repellent sprays.
All will ruin the Plexiglas and fiberglass. Please avoid comet or bleach on the
Bottomsiders. Thank you.
3.
Use bathroom
foam cleaner or liquid cleaner for heads and use shower sprayer to wash down
the entire toilet area. Use the Holding
Tank odor treatment provided for the holding tanks.
4.
Use soft rags or
sponges for inside cleaning. Bronze wool
may be used for tough spots on metal surfaces.
5.
When the
refrigerator is cleaned out, water is drained by activating the aft shower
sump. The shower sump switch is on the
main electrical panel and in the aft head.
Open the frig drain under the dust bin found at the base of the
steps. Be sure to close the frig drain
when you are finished and reopen the shower drain line.
6.
Comet can be
used on the outside deck areas for stained areas. Otherwise use zipwax and water.
7.
For the dinghy,
use the special cleaner provided for inflatable boats.
DOCKING
Reminders
1.
Head boat into
the wind or current, whichever is stronger.
2. The stern of the boat pulls to PORT when
operating in reverse.
3.
A docking line at mid-ship is great a help because of the width of the
vessel.
ELECTRICAL: INVERTER/CHARGER
1.
The boat is
supplied with 110 volts of AC through all plug outlets via shore power. Shore power charges the batteries through the
Inverter/charger when the charger is ON.
2.
When on shore
power, turn the Charger ON at the “remote panel”
3.
When NOT on
shore power, turn the Inverter switch OFF.
4.
The
refrigeration works on 12 volts
5.
Operate the
Microwave on shore power OR with the Inverter switch ON.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The
four water tanks, totaling 127 gallons, are individually regulated through a
distribution manifold located in the port stateroom under the front center
portion of the bunk (next to and aft of the main engine thru-hull valve). Turn
on one tank at a time to monitor your water usage. Turn
off the empty tank when you open the next tank to avoid an air lock. NOTE: As a practical matter, draw from
the forward tank first. It is the
largest and when it is emptied it will reduce your bow weight. The fills are port and starboard amidships
and forward on the port side. DO NOT CROSS THREAD or OVER-TIGHTEN THE CAPS.
FWD = 50 gal, Port Sole =27 gal,
STBD sole=27 gal, aft=23 gal
When
filling tanks use caution! Do not over tighten the deck plate cover! A gentle closure (finger tight) is
sufficient. Be sure the deck plate cover
is properly seated to ensure proper threading when closing.
The
water pump switch, located on the electrical panel, should be turned OFF when
you leave the boat unattended. This pump
is pressure activated and will not shut off automatically if water tanks should
empty.
An
orange caution light on the instrument panel by the water pressure pump switch
will LIGHT when the pump is
running. This can be very helpful when
the engine noise makes it difficult to hear if the water pump is running
excessively.
FURNACE
The
furnace is an Ardic hot water heat system.
The water is heated by a diesel boiler.
The system provides a continuous system of hot water heat for the forced
air furnace and provides hot water for domestic use. There are five heat vents: 1 in each of the
aft staterooms, 2 in the Salon, and 1 in the forward head.
The
THERMOSTAT/FURNACE IGNITION/FURNACE FAN switch unit located on the lower right
of the instrument panel controls the ARDIC 091 diesel-fired heater and air
blower unit. The operating system is
located behind the starboard stateroom and directs war air to five outlets.
The
thermostat and fan controls are located at the lower right hand corner of the
electrical panel.
1. Set the THERMOSTAT control at the lowest setting
2. Turn the FURNACE IGNITION and FURNACE FAN rocker
switches to ON
3. Allow 10 minutes for the ARDIC to heat the water in
the hot water heater
4. Turn the THERMOSTAT to the desired room temperature
5. To turn OFF the ARDIC furnace, turn both the FURNACE
IGNITION and the FURNACE FAN switches to Off.
NOTE: CAREFULLY MONITOR BATTERIES AND DO NOT ALLOW
THEM TO GET LOW! If the batteries are
low you may experience a black smoke from the exhaust of the furnace. The exhaust is located on the stern of the
boat. In this case, you may need to
start the engines to recharge the batteries or connect to shore power.
When
you are underway, the engine produces cabin heat… similar to your car. Use the FURNACE FAN switch on the electrical
panel to bring this heat into the cabin.
The
hot water tank has an 11 gallon capacity and is located in the engine
compartment, aft of the engine.
A. Hot water is supplied dockside by shore power. Push IN the HOT WATER circuit breaker on the
upper right section of the AC panel.
B. OR, the ARDIC heater will provide domestic hot
water. When you are not on shore power,
you can operate the ARDIC heater WITHOUT USING THE FAN to have hot water
without the hot air entering the cabin.
GALLEY OPERATION
Verify
that all stove/oven knobs are in the off position. This stove is equipped with thermo couplings,
but it is a good habit to check them.
Start by opening the propane tank located in the STBD aft lazaret, Activate “LPG Solenoid” circuit breaker at
the electrical panel AND activate the switch at the galley, to the left of the
microwave oven. A red light will glow at
each place.
To light Top Burners
A. Push in knob and turn to “IGN” (Ignite) position.
B. Hold knob in and light with electric match or regular
match.
C. Hold knob in for 3-5 seconds until the thermal
coupling is hot.
D. Release the knob and set to desired setting.
To light the Oven
A. Turn the thermostat to “light” position
B. Push in the safety button located next to the
thermostat knob
C. Light the pilot light with a lighter or match
D. Hold the safety button pushed in for approximately
10-15 seconds and slowly release the button.
The flame should remain. If not,
repeat the procedure.
E. Complete instructions are located on the inside of
the oven door.
NOTE: If
the stove is difficult to open for cleaning under the burners, release the holding clip on the outside edges.
NOTE: When closing the counter
over the stove, be sure to pull it all the way forward before closing so you
avoid breaking the counter.
USE
THE MICROWAVE ON SHORE POWER OR WITH THE INVERTER SWITCH ON.
The
refrigeration is controlled by a switch on the main electrical panel, and by a
thermostat inside the refrigerator. The
compressor starts approximately two minutes after the thermostat is turned
on. The thermostat should be set just
cold enough to keep the ice frozen, usually about #4 or #5. Colder settings just drain the batteries
faster than necessary
The
system will operate continuously until the refrigerator cabinet and contents
have been brought to the selected temperature.
The system will then cycle off, and thereafter cycle on and off
maintaining proper temperature. The
ColdMachine operates on 12 volts and will operate automatically at dockside
through the inverter/battery charger. The
ColdMachine draws approximately 5 amps when running.
HINT: I often turn the temperature
control on #5 or slightly higher when the engine is running and then lower the
temperature setting to #2 or #3 overnight while at anchor.
There
are three sink drain thru-hull valves.
They should be closed when you are under sail. To close, turn handle CLOCKWISE. Sink water drains directly overboard. Be careful to keep sink drains free of all
food debris to avoid clogging.
·
BILGE PUMPS
One automatic electric bilge pump. The switch
for this pump should be left on “AUTOMATIC” rather than set on “ON”. If you
activate manually, return switch to the “AUTOMATIC” setting after use. There is
a manual bilge pump with handle in the aft lazaret.
·
HEAD MACERATOR PUMPS
Each
head has a separate holding tank of approximately 25 gallon capacity. Holding tanks can be pumped out dockside into
a shoreside pump out facility. Deck plates are located on the port side
forward and in the transom aft. Tanks
are located under the forward berth and under the aft starboard berth.
OR
The
macerator pumps are controlled by the main DC switches at the nav station. MAKE
SURE THRU
To
empty the AFT holding tank, you only
need to turn on the AFT MACERATOR SWITCH
for a maximum pump time of 5 to 7 minutes.
It is not necessary to close the through hull valve for the aft holding
tank.
NOTE: IT IS ILLEGAL TO PUMP HOLDING
TANKS OVERBOARD IN
If
you have persistent difficulty in getting the pumps to prime, make sure the
deck pump out covers are tight and lubricated with Vaseline (found in box of
spare parts). It is possible the tank is
drawing air through these fittings.
·
REFRIGERATOR PUMP
The
pump is activated by the “SHOWER SUMP” switch on the electrical panel AND the ‘SHOWER SUMP”
switch in the aft head. The valve under
the dust bin at the foot of the companionway stairs must be opened to “Refrigerator”. Be sure to reset the valve for the shower
when you finish draining the refrigerator.
·
SHOWER SUMP
Before
entering the shower, activate the SHOWER SUMP switch on the electrical
panel. During your shower, activate the
SHOWER SUMP switch in the shower AS NEEDED to empty water from the floor. Shower water is pumped overboard.
NOTE: There is a valve under the dust bin in the main salon that allows
draining for the refrigerator OR for the aft shower. Be sure the valve is open for the shower drain. Note:
The forward shower stall has proven to be more convenient.
SAILING INFORMATION
Main – For ease of operation, raise the main at the mast with the final
tightening on the halyard winch in the
cockpit.
Solid Vang – Be careful NOT to compress the spring loaded solid
vang beyond horizontal position of the boom.
Reef Line – The white and green reef line is led to the
starboard side of the cabin into the cockpit area. The black bands on the line indicate the
position of the reef line for either full sail or reefed sail. Reef line will naturally be slack when the
main sail is down. Coil excess line and
store out of the way in the fold of the flaked sail both at the luff and at the leach.
NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE REEF LINES AFTER THE SAIL
HAS BEEN LOWERED!
EZ Jack System – Raise the EZ Jack forward of the mast using the
small black cleats to secure the system.
The EZ Jack will conveniently hold the lowered sail during final
straightening and smoothing of the sail.
After sail is secured with ties, release the EZ Jack into original
relaxed position and install main sail cover.
SECURING THE BOAT TO LEAVE
1. Connect shore power and activate power at the main
breaker on the electrical panel. The
Green light should be on.
