Frequently asked questions

Ensure gearshifts are in 'neutral', and throttles are almost back to the idle position. Turn the key clockwise partially until the engine alarm sounds and pre-heat the engine. Flip switch to Engine on DC panel. Push the START button on DC panel. Move the throttle to raise the engine speed to 1000 rpm on the tachometer. Warm the engine for about 5 minutes before engaging transmission. Before shutting down, allow the engines 'idle' for about 5 minutes to cool them gradually and uniformly. Ensure gearshift is in the 'neutral' position and each throttle is in the 'idle' position. Turn off engines by pulling the stop switch on top of dash board on consul.

If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is 'open' (handle in-line with valve). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris. Remove the strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the raw water intake valve (seacock). Restart the engine and recheck water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the raw water pump may need to be serviced. Seek help.

The holding tank holds approximately 27.5 gallons. Be aware of the rate of waste production (about 1 gallon per flush). With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent, or burst the tank. Empty the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid this problem. The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways: At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located starboard midship. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening. Double-check your deck fitting! Turn on pump and open valve located on handle. When pumping is finished, close lever on handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck fitting. If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank. Then repump to leave the tank rinsed for the next charter. This also eliminates head odors. The tank’s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in Canadian waters. To operate the macerator, open thru-hull behind aft of toilet. Pull the MACERATOR ROCKER SWITCH. The switch is located next to the ‘Tank Watch’ indicator, below and forward of the AC panel. Listen to the macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Discharge may be observed on the starboard side. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank.

Before taking a SHOWER, make sure water pressure and shower sump breakers are on. Take only very short “boat” showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy wipe down the shower stall and floor. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are completely off after use.

The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a bruce and is attached to 185ft chain and 0ft nylon line passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER The locker can be accessed through the forward lower cabinet state room. If there is an anchor keeper, release it. The WINDLASS POWER SWITCH is located stardboard side by door entry side of step. Can only be free dropped only. Hand clutch. Release clutch and keep controle of speed while paying out chain. When ready to raise, turn on power and use foot pedal. Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain) before setting the anchor. Green markers are placed every 50 feet on the chain, indicated amount of rode played out. The markers on the chain are yellow (every 10’) and red (every 50’). If the anchorage is crowded put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water), back the anchor in with a short burst from the engine. Then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions. Before raising the anchor, ALWAYS start the engines as it uses large amounts of power. Turn ‘on’ the WINDLASS SWITCH and as the boat moves toward the anchor, press the ‘up’ control to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling it up. Place yourself in position to guide the anchor onto the roller. As the anchor rises, be careful not to allow it to swing against the hull. Wash it down if you have a wash down pump before it goes into anchor locker. Reconnect the keeper between the anchor and tighten clutch. Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Turn ‘off’ the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH.

Very easy! On the right side of the helm, there is a pull switch on top named (Xfer fuel), pull out that switch. Make sure both main fuel valves are open and the raycore is on. There is a breaker just starboard of the shaft with a red switch on it. That’s your main turn on switch for the fuel pump to prime the engine. Flip that switch on. At the injector rack on the engine there are two red painted bolts and those are the air release for the engine. Crack open one at a time until you get a steady stream out and then close them. Shut off fuel pump switch and push in the push switch.
