3 Pre Departure

3.1 Stowing your personal belongings

Sea Daze has ample stowage for your belongings and supplies. Each stateroom has hanging closet space and drawers, and the salon and galley have many cabinets for food and miscellaneous belongings. Drawers and doors have sea latches and catches to hold them secure when under way. Be sure to understand how these work to prevent injury, damage, and the potential for items to move around if you encounter rough seas.

Take a few moments to walk through the different decks to familiarize yourself with the different rooms, access ways and storage locations. In addition to stowage of house and personal items there is a lazerette in the cockpit that holds, water hoses and spare anchor and rhode and space for tools, equipment and spare parts for the engine room.

3.2 Safety briefings for the crew

Brief your crew on proper safety on the water, Washington State law requires that everyone on board must have an available life vest and to know how to put it on. In addition, state law requires that children under 12 years age must wear a life jacket any time the boat is moving and they are in an outside deck area.

Safety should be paramount to your daily cruising. A “person overboard drill” should be discussed and practiced using the throw ring in the cockpit.

Safety Equipment

•

Life jackets are located on the fly bridge under the settee seat cushions. A total of 12 life Jackets are available. 8 adult and 4 child life jackets.

•

There are 3 mounted fire extinguishers. o

1) In the Pilothouse, 2) in the Master stateroom, 3) in the Engine Room Entry

•

There is a “life ring retrieval system” with a 50’ line attached to the boat at the base of the cockpit ladder to the flybridge. o

Several safety items are stored in the pilot house under the port side seat fwd of the door. o

There is a flare kit for emergency signaling o

There is a first aid kit o

There are foul weather gear (rain suites)

3.3 Pre departure checks and inspections

3.3.1

General

Verify all small appliance and personal items are stowed and secure. Cabin/Stateroom doors should be latched securely as they can swing during unexpected rough sea and may cause injury, or significant damage may occur to doors, windows and mirrors. Windows and port lights should be closed and latched to prevent spray from entering the cabins. Each state room has opening port lights, please ensure they are secured in the closed position as water will enter through these into the cabins when underway. Check for items that may fall from tables and counters in rough water and put them in a safe place.

Pilot house canvas window covers may be stowed in the pilot house under the starboard side of the settee. Fly bridge seat coverings and wet bar cover may be stowed under the lounge seat on the starboard side.

3.3.2

Engine Checks

Remember “WOBBS” prior to each cruising day:

ater (Coolant),

il,

ilge,

elts and

ea Strainer. The inspection is best done in the morning while engines and engine room is cool.

The main engines on Sea Daze are very reliable Twin Cummins Diesels – Model 6TB 5.9 TD – 370 HP each.

If treated correctly, they can be expected to give trouble-free economical cruising. The engine room is accessed through panels in the floor of the salon or through a hatch at the top of the companionway stairs next to the refrigerator.

Turn the engine room lights on at DC panel in pilothouse.

To inspect the engines you will need to lift the salon floor hatch covers. Slide the salon table and chairs forward to the ice maker bar and roll up the salon area rug to access the engine covers. You will need to lift 3 of the 4 covers as follows. 1) the port aft nearest the cockpit door to access the port engine oil dip stick, 2) the port forward nearest the galley to inspect the coolant level, 3) the starboard forward hatch to access the starboard oil dipstick and coolant level.

While the covers are open visually inspect to verify the bilge is dry, any significant water in the bilge could indicate thru hull leak, bilge pump failure, or other critical issues such as engine coolant, or furnace coolant leakage. If high water is noted check for sources and remedy before departing.

Check coolant level. Forward of each engine is an expansion tank. Fluid in the expansion tanks will indicate a proper coolant level. If the engines are cool, you can reach your finger in at the caps on the top of the engines.

If you can reach coolant with your finger, it is fine. Coolant is a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. If coolant level is down look for a sign of a coolant leak under the engine. If there are signs of leakage, do not run the engine. If no leak is identified add clean water.

Check Oil levels. Check the level of each engine’s oil with the dipsticks. They are located on top of each engine toward the aft/Mid point. The oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick. Use a paper towel to wipe the stick, reinsert, remove and check the level. The distance between the two marks is about 1.5 quarts.

Only fill if oil levels are below the add mark. Do not overfill!!! The oil fill on each engine is atop its valve cover. After refilling, be sure to retighten the cap. Do not over tighten.

Reposition the hatch covers, rug, chairs and table

Lift the engine room access cover. This is the top stair of the companion way directly next to the galley floor.

Set this cover in front of the ice maker and climb into the engine room entry space. To access the engine room you will need to open the sound barrier hatch. To open this hatch move all 4 cam handles 90 degree and using the center handle push the barrier into the engine room. Set the barrier off to the side and enter the room.

Visually inspect V-belts, hoses, engine mounts, coupling bolts, 3 sea strainers (they are located aft of each engine) and fuel filters. Look for leaks, wear, or looseness. To inspect sea strainers hold a flashlight behind the filter and look through it for anything that could clog the filter. See labeled strainers located: in engine room

(port and starboard side), generator-cockpit floor (starboard side, forward). Check the transmission fluid levels in each transfer case. Raise the dip stick on top of the transfer case housing; after inspection replace tightly to avoid contamination from water.

Visually inspect the bilge. Check under and around the engines. During your inspection, ask yourself if everything looks (and smells) right.

Page 9 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Sea Strainers: Ensure the valves on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL are open. (The lever is in-line with the hose or valve). The Raw Water Thru-hulls are normally left in the open position. However, if they are closed, there will not be any water flow from the stern exhausts when the engines are running. This will lead to a serious overheat condition and engine damage. Look through the glass of each RAW WATER SEA

STRAINER for debris. A flashlight held behind the glass strainer makes it easier to see debris.

A clogged strainer will cause the engine to run hot or overheat

. If necessary, close the thru-hull valve, open the strainer cover, clean out debris and reassemble. Remember to reopen the thru-hull valve.

Exit the engine room, reposition the sound barrier and lock in place with the 4 cams.

From the Cockpit Lazarette check the following:

•

Steering fluid level

•

Trim Tab fluid level

•

The Battery electrolyte level should be checked once a week. Verify the electrolyte covers the plates, but remains below the fill tube.

Use distilled water only, or you will damage the batteries. Distilled water is stored in the port side lazarette, do not fill with bottled water, or tap water it typically has small amounts of mineral, or other elements that will degrade the batteries.

Do not over fill the cells as this can prevent venting of the battery during charging and cause an explosion.

3.3.3

Shore Power Disconnection

If at a marina you will need to disconnect the shore power cable(s). Before disconnect verify the power switches are turned off inside the power panel. For safety always disconnect starting at the dockside power pole to prevent dropping a live line into the water. Turn off the pole (breaker or switch), unplug the power cable and coil it neatly as you walk to the boat to avoid creating a trip hazard on the dock. Disconnect the cable from the boat last, remove and store the adaptors in the container under the starboard Pilot House settee cushion with the coiled shore power cable.

3.4 Electronics (Preparing for Navigation)

The Salish Sea is a marvel of nature with many safe passages, stunning bays, harbors and marinas; however it also has many treacherous areas that require constant vigilance. The skipper has a tremendous responsibility for the safety of their passengers and to other boaters. Before departure the skipper should fully familiarize themselves with all navigation equipment and how it operates. Applicable charts should be reviewed each time the boat is put under way to assure the intended course is appropriate for a large vessel such as Sea Daze and that all hazards to safe navigation are known by the skipper and any person that will operate her.

3.4.1

Selecting a course and preparing the electronics for navigation

A word of caution, most skippers today rely on GPS and electronic charts with a perception that these highly useful devices provide pin point accuracy. The reality is that the entire GPS system is far less accurate than you may expect. For national security the civilian GPS signal is intentionally degraded and may be as far as 20 meters off. The date of publish on many NOAA and Canadian chart is deceptive. Many newer charts are based on surveys taken in the early to mid 1900’s and the equipment of that era was common to be inaccurate to 20 meters or even greater. The majority of today’s recreational chart plotters (GPS) are digitized from NOAA and other international paper charts. The digitization process is not precise and will introduce additional error. If we take a 20 meter error in GPS, add a 20 meter error in the survey underlying the chart and consider the inaccuracy of digitization we may have 40 meters or more of potential error; 40 meters is 132 ft and that is close to 3 times the length of Sea Daze!

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 10 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Sea Daze has a full set of navigating systems and devices. Electronics include two VHF Radios, a Satellite

Weather Receiver, two GPS systems with independent Chart Plotters, a Depth Sounder and Depth Sounder/Fish

Finder, Radar and Electronic Hailer. It is recommended that you practice with these instruments to develop the familiarity you will need when you have to depend on them in a stressful situation.

This operator manual provides the basic operations for primary electronics of the Sea Daze navigation system.

In the pilothouse, in the cabinet below the power panel there are detailed manuals kept on board for each electronic device. Refer to these for additional information.

Remove the protective covers from the E127, E7, i70 displays, Radar and the ST 6000 Auto Pilot. These may be placed in the area below the window on the port side of the helm.

Please cover the displays when they are not in use to prevent damage.

To turn on the system verify all navigation related electronics and accessory switches/breakers are on in the power control panel then turn on each display, radio and device as needed.

3.4.2

VHF Radios

There are two mounted VHF radios, one at each steering station. These may be used to communicate with marinas, fuel docks, and other vessels, monitor commercial traffic zones and listen to weather broadcasts.

During preparation use the radio for gathering information, verification of services available such as fuel and notification of other vessels maneuvering in close quarters. Always monitor Channel 16 while underway for safety information. Use channel 16 only for the initial contact to other boaters and marine services, or for emergencies. Once contact is made; switch to another channel designated for conversation. Remember everyone listening can hear what you say.

Both radios have channel tuner knobs, squelch and volume controls on the face of the units. They also have buttons for weather (WX) and quick return buttons to channel 16. The hand held microphone has a “push to talk” button. (Push to talk, release to listen)

The Pilot house radio has Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and provides a distress call button. In the event of a life threatening emergency remove the red cover and press the button and hold for a few seconds to transmit a call to the Coast Guard. If the GPS is active and has a signal this will provide them with GPS coordinates and vessel identification (the GPS must be on and active to transmit your location).

3.4.3

Satellite Weather Receiver

It is good practice to always review the weather along your route prior to any departure. Conditions just a short distance away may be significantly different than your immediate location and conditions in the straights can be radically different than that between the shelter of the islands of the San Juan’s. Furthermore, sea conditions can change rapidly from a calm sea at departure to a dangerous state while underway.

Sea Daze has a Raymarine SR100 satellite receiver that can provide the most recent weather information at any location you may plan to travel. Summarized weather reports may be displayed in pop up windows from the chart plotter and detailed graphical displays of wind, wave height and many other details may be displayed on the E127, or E7 multi function devices via the Raymarine Weather application.

To make use of the weather service verify that the RayNet HS system is on. (This is the toggle switch to the left of the Pilot House Radio), and verify the E127 and E7 touch screen MFD’s are powered on. Note that there may be a several minute delay while the system initializes and acquires reports when first turned on.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 11 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

When the system is on and receiving a signal you may review summary weather reports at any time from the

Chart Plotter application by moving the cursor to the desired point of interest and selecting “weather” from the drop down menu. This will display the available weather information in a pop up window for the point on the chart under the cursor.

The SR100 receiver can display the “NowRad” rain radar images as an overlay directly on the chart plotter screen. This is highly useful to determine rain and fog conditions along a route, or at a destination. The overlay is normally set to display, however it may be toggled on or off and transparency levels adjusted from the display options menu in the chart plotter.

For additional detailed weather information displayed on a graphical chart you can use the Ray Marine Weather application. The weather application is normally preloaded and running on the E7 display (the smaller touch screen to starboard of the PH helm) The weather application displays a simplified chart of the area of interest with weather symbols and icons shown directly on that chart. Icons on the chart show locations of weather stations and buoys that will provide detailed localized reports when clicked on with the cursor. Wind direction and strength indicators, hi-low pressure indicators and storm tracks may also be presented on the chart and if clicked on these symbols will display additional detailed information. If a GPS fix is active your current position will be displayed as an icon on this chart as reference to your position relative to the weather conditions.

3.4.4

GPS and Chart Plotters

Sea Daze has redundant independent navigation chart plotters and GPS systems:

1) The primary navigation system is the Raymarine E127 Multi Function Device (MFD) with built in GPS and Wi-Fi Smartphone remote viewing capability. This unit is mounted in the port side Pilot House

Helm.

2) The Raymarine E7 Multi Function Device (MFD) is configured for data and weather display, however it includes a built in GPS receiver that may be used as a backup chart plotter. The E7 is mounted in the starboard side Pilot House Helm.

The Integrated Navigation System

The E127 MFD is the backbone of the Sea Daze Navionics and performs network integration for all other devices. This system incorporates a built in GPS receiver, built in depth sounder, collects and distributes information for the autopilot, provides GPS coordinates to the SR100 Weather receiver and DSC radio, provides waypoint information to the radar, feeds digital data to a set of Raymarine i70 Digital Data displays and a Raymarine E7 MFD.

The E127 and E7 include a Wi-Fi connectivity that can be used to display information on your personal

Smartphone or tablet device. This may allow the skipper, or another crew member to monitor and manage course, speed and depth or other information such as weather reports from any location in the boat.

To use this feature you will need to download and install the free Ray Control / Ray Remote app from Raymarine and log onto the Sea Daze Wi-Fi network from your mobile device. The apps are available from the Apple App store Amazon, or Google.

The “Sea Daze” network is available when the E127 MFD is on. The network ID is “Sea Daze” and the Pass

Code is “Sea Daze”

The “Sea Daze II” network is available when the E7 MFD is on. The network ID is “Sea Daze II” and the Pass

Code is “Sea Daze II”

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Operating the E127 systems:

The E127 and E7 controls are a highbred of touch screen activated, push buttons and joystick. For some critical functions only the buttons and joystick are used,

a touch screen response may not be allowed

. This is a safety feature to prevent inadvertent actions from unintended touch of the screen while underway.

An example of this is responding to the autopilot alarms to engage or disengage course tracking. This must be done by pushing

in on the joy stick.

Press the power on button in the lower right corner of the E127. While the E127 initializes you may turn on the

E7 MFD and i70 data displays. Press the button in the lower left corner of the i70 displays to turn them on.

The E127 will require you to accept /acknowledge a safety disclaimer. Press in on the joystick control in the top right of the E127 MFD; the E127 will default to the navigation chart screen.

The user manual for the E127 is electronic media. You may view the manual any time even while the unit is in use for navigation. This is best viewed in a split screen mode selected from the home screen. The home screen is activated by pressing the “Home Button” to the right of the screen. Use the touch screen to activate the split window configuration that shows the manual.

Operating the i70 Data Displays:

Sea Daze has four i70 data displays, two in the pilot house and two on the fly bridge. The i70 displays have several pages configured to show different collections of information for different navigational situations. You may scroll through the different pages with the up-down arrow keys to present the information best suited for the type of maneuvering you may be performing. For close quarters/marina you may want the large rudder angle and depth displays. When underway following a route you may find the pages with route and waypoint information most useful.

Operating the E7 systems:

The E7 display operates similar to the E127 and will be default to a split screen showing weather graphics in the left half of the screen and a rudder indicator and course data/navigation information to the right. You may use the drop down menu to switch between a split screen, or to display a full screen of the weather, or the data displays.

The E7 may be displayed and controlled on your mobile device. This network is available when the E7 MFD is on. The network ID is “Sea Daze II” and the Pass Code is “Sea Daze II”

Planning for navigation

Zoom in at your start location sufficient to identify objects and hazards. Use the touch screen or joystick to position the cursor over your intended start point. From the menu select navigation, scroll down the menu with the joy stick, or the rotating color at the bottom of the joy stick and select the “Build Route” option. Select place waypoint (WP) from the menu. Position the cursor to the next waypoint you desire to create and select place waypoint again. Continue to position the cursor and place waypoints until you are satisfied your course is sufficient. Scroll the menu using the joy stick / rotary color and select finish/save to close out the course.

Verify your course is good!

Zoom in to see depth marks, navigation aid details and obstructions on the chart. Scroll/Pan along the route to review your course to be certain it does not cross any obstructions, or enter shallow water. If the course is not where you like, it is easy to adjust. To edit / add waypoints use the joystick to scroll over the course location or existing WP and a target should appear. Select the WP, or insertion location by pressing in on the joystick. This will pop up an option menu to insert/delete/edit/move waypoints. Select the action that will allow you to reposition, add, or delete a WP as needed.

To navigate existing courses return to the root menu and select ‘My Data” you may scroll through the table of existing courses and show/hide, select and activate a course from the list.

When a course is activated and the autopilot is on you will be prompted to engage the autopilot. It is advised that you set the autopilot to standby and manually steer the course until you have verified the next waypoint is clear. You may initiate autopilot and track the course at any time by pressing the auto button and then the track button.

Caution, Caution, Caution…

before engaging the autopilot, verify for certain the autopilot is targeting the next way point you want. If you are entering a course from other than its beginning you must use the menu options to advance waypoints or the Autopilot will turn and head directly to the start of the course or the last active waypoint. If objects, obstacles, debris, or land are between you and the active target way point it will not know this and it will not avoid these obstacles.

For additional information please review the section on Autopilot (section 3.6.4) later in this manual.

NavMan 2100 Depth Sounder

There is an individual NavMan 2100 depth sounder mounted in the fly bridge console. It is powered on from the flybridge switch panel. The sounder is typically reliable in waters less than 200 feet deep and at slower speeds. If the sounder is blinking, it might be a false reading due to excessive depths, brackish water, or strong currents. Watch your depth carefully in cruising unknown waters that might have rocks or obstacles.

Page 14 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Remember that sounders do NOT look in front of the boat, only UNDER the boat. They do not tell you if you are about to run aground, only if you haven’t already. Use them in close conjunction with your charts.

3.4.8

Radar

Sea Daze is equipped with a Raymarine Pathfinder Radar with HSB display. To turn on the radar press and hold the power button in the lower left of the HSB display unit until the unit beeps. If the system is in Radar mode it will automatically start the warm-up countdown sequence for the magnetron. After the countdown is complete the radar will go to standby mode. To initiate transmit you need to press the power button again. The radar screen should begin to display images of nearby objects. Use the range key to adjust the range scale of the rings.

Press display to zoom in or out to an appropriate scale for navigation. To turn off the radar press and hold the power button until it completes the countdown.

To read the radar assume you are at the center of the screen. The top of the screen is dead ahead. The higher the range you are displaying, the more gain you want. Use filters sparingly as they may filter out targets you are looking for.

If the E127 MFD is on the radar can display speed, direction to waypoint and coordinates to selected targets.

The EBL (estimated bearing line) and the VRM (variable range marker) are extremely useful. These are operated with the track ball and menu keys.

The operating manual is in the cabinet under the power control panel if you desire more information on radar system functions.

Note: The HSB display is shared with a 3 rd

backup GPS unit, Raystar 112LP GPS Chart Plotter. The display should default to display radar, however if it is not showing radar images press display and select the options to switch between the radar and chart plotter screens.

3.5 Boat Operations

3.5.1

Starting the engines

The hour meters are at the aft side of the power panel in the pilothouse. Record these readings in your log entry and check the log to see what they read at the last refuel (Experience has shown that fuel gauges are often not accurate. We suggest that you track your fuel consumption rate as a double check on the fuel gauges)

At the top of the DC switch panel (the aft panel section in the cabinet on the starboard side of the pilothouse) turn on the DC Master and the Ignition Power switches for the port and starboard engines.

Ignition keys are in the pilothouse starboard drawer. Insert the keys into each key switch in the helm station.

Place the transmission selector levers (levers with the black knobs to port side) in

the Neutral position and the throttle controls (levers with the red knobs to starboard) in the idle position

(pulled fully to the aft).

If starting the engines for the first time of the day, make sure to preheat the engines. Turn the Starboard engine ignition key clockwise until you hear a buzzer (do not attempt to start yet), when the green light above the key switch comes on turn the key further to the right to start the engine. Wait for the buzzer to stop after starting the starboard engine before starting the port engine. Follow the same process with the port engine.

Page 15 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

The engines usually start very quickly. DO NOT continuously operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engines don’t start it may be due to the neutral safety switch. The engines have a neutral lockout and it may be needed to make small adjustments of the transmission selector levers to verify they are centered.

If an engine doesn’t start, wait for at least 30 seconds before making another attempt to allow the starter motor to cool.

If after two attempts the engine does not start, try to determine the cause before proceeding. See trouble shooting a no-start condition below.

After engines start, verify the oil pressure for both engine is above 30 psi, walk out to the swim step and check the exhausts for water flow. If there is low oil pressure or no water flowing from the exhaust shut the engines off immediately and troubleshoot.

Raise the engine RPM to 1,000 for about a minute to stop the pre heat system and reduce power draw on the batteries. Reduce the RPM back to idle and warm engines a minimum of 5 minutes before maneuvering and span your initial acceleration over a 5- minute period to allow for warm up.

Caution: Continuous operation with low coolant temperature (below 140 degrees) or high coolant temperature

(above 205 degrees) can damage engine.

If at any time an engine alarm sounds shut down immediately to prevent engine damage and trouble shoot the condition.

3.5.1.1

Trouble shooting abnormal engine condition:

Engine Does not crank: Make sure the “Engine” and “Accessory” battery switches are on (they should have been left on). These are in the battery management panel on the port aft side of the salon by the cockpit door.

Engine Does not start: Check for low battery, engage the Battery Parallel Switch located at either the pilothouse or bridge helm to connect other batteries. The Parallel Switch must be held in position while starting.

Releasing the switch will return the electrical system to the normal mode.

It is not normally necessary to have to use the Parallel Switch so be sure to inform AYC upon your return.

Overheating, or no water flow from exhaust: Check the sea strainers, they may have picked up some debris.

Sea strainers are the large bronze and glass cylinders in the engine room. If dirty you will need to clean them, close the seacock valves, remove the strainers, clean, reinstall.

It is very important that you remember to close the seacocks before opening the strainers and REOPEN them when done.

Alarms sounding: If engine alarms sound (due to low oil pressure or high water temperature), shut down the engine IMMEDIATELY and troubleshoot. Was there a lack of water exiting with the exhaust? Are thru-hulls open and debris cleared from sea-strainer? If you cannot identify the issue or on a restart attempt the alarm sounds again call AYC Service for help.

3.5.2

Getting Underway

Have a plan

on how you want to leave the dock and marina/anchorage prior to untying the lines. Make sure everyone knows the plan and don’t be shy about asking for, or accepting help from fellow boaters. Don’t ever assume others will do what you expect. Tell them exactly what you want them to do. Communicate with your crew.

Page 16 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

All close quarter maneuvering should take place from the bridge helm. This will afford maximum visibility. If operating from the pilothouse, ensure both doors are open to allow quick access to both sides.

Remove spring lines leaving only bow and stern lines. Always remove the upwind line last as you leave the dock. Make certain the throttles are in idle and engage the gearshifts and maneuver the boat with differential steering.

Once outside marina, have crewmembers bring in fenders and put lines away. Lines are stowed by coiling and hanging/tying to the fly bridge cockpit ladder.

Note: If anchored see section 3.6.7 for weighing anchor

3.5.3

Using the Bow Thruster

We provide the following tips and insights that may help even a seasoned skipper in optimizing performance of the Bow thruster.

•

The first concept is that a Bow Thruster is not intended to steer the boat. The skipper should do the primary maneuvering with the engines and rudders and use the thruster to correct the bow alignment due to windage and current.

•

A thruster is used in short bursts of often less than a few seconds with a brief delay to determine the effect. This will prevent over controlling the boat, overheating of the motor and drained batteries.

•

A thruster is only effective at very slow speed, typically 3 knots or less. Above that speed the engines and rudders will dominate directional control and use of the thruster will result in cavitations and noise with potential damage to the propellers and the motor due to over speed.

•

The thruster is used to counter drift due to wind or current, or may be used to assist close quarters maneuvering such as moving the bow off a dock when departing and holding the Bow to the dock while the lines are secured.

•

The thruster will be more effective when moving slightly in reverse than when moving forward. This can be very helpful if you find the current and wind are very strong during a close quarter maneuver. A slight amount of reverse thrust can increase the effectiveness.

3.5.3.1

Turning on the Bow Thruster 24 volt system:

Sea Daze has a Side Power SE100/185 T 8.5

HP Bow Thruster. The bow thruster is on an independent 24 volt system powered by two 12 volt SAE Rated 760 CCA AGM batteries wired in series. These batteries provide ample power for normal use, however if the thruster is over used the batteries may become drained significantly and they can take several hours to recharge. Charging is provided via the port engine alternator while underway, or if on shore power, or generator power this may be accomplished by switching on the battery charger circuit in the power panel.

The state of charge on the thruster batteries may be checked from the pilot house by switching on the 24 volt system with the rocker switch located directly below the pilot house shift controls and reading the digital volt meter adjacent that switch.

Page 17 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

A fully charged battery system may indicate close to 27 volt. If the batteries indicate less than 21 Volts the thruster should not be used until the system has been recharged. If the system fails to recharge do not use the thruster and contact AYC for help.

The 24 volt system has its own charging circuit. This is controlled by the rotary switch on the pilot house helm directly below the 24 volt digital readout. For normal operating this circuit should remain in the on position. It may be turned off if making a long stay on an anchor to conserve power, or it may be turned off when the system is being serviced, or the boat is in long term storage.

Verify the batteries have sufficient voltage by reading the digital volt meter, it should indicate no less than 21 volt when the batteries are discharged and may indicate as much as 28 volt when being charged. If outside of this range do not use the thruster as this indicates the system is malfunctioning and may be unsafe. Advise AYC that the system is in need of service.

A safety shut off master switch and fuse circuit are located under the lower bunk in the middle state room. In the highly unlikely event of a runaway thruster, or shorted 24 volt circuit the large red button should be punched down to disable the system. The safety switch incorporates a 325 AMP ANL fuse to protect the system. If the system is not working verify the safety switch is in the raised position and that the fuse is intact. If the fuse is spent please contact AYC for service.

3.5.3.2

Bow thruster controls:

Turn on the 24volt system, 24 volt charging circuit and verify the batteries have sufficient power.

Please read the above section on operating the 24 volt system before operating the thruster.



A fixed joy stick control is installed just left of the shift controls on the fly bridge. This station provides the best visibility for slow speed maneuvering.



Alternatively you may use the thruster remote control stored in the clip on the pilot house helm. o

Take note that this is a $400 item and you are responsible for its well being.

It is advised to leave the remote in the clip. If you remove the remote control from its clip in the pilot house, use the lanyard to prevent loss.



To turn on the thruster hold down both “on” buttons simultaneously.



Once turned on the thruster should be used in short bursts of 1 or 2 seconds with a pause to allow time for effect.



Move the joy stick in the direction you want the bow to move. o

When using the remote the switches are arranged to represent a boat to help visualize what button to push.



The thruster may perform different depending on weather and current conditions and due to some laws of physics it will provide more turning force when the boat is moving in reverse than when moving forward. These factors should be considered when maneuvering the boat using the thruster.



For safety to avoid unintended thruster action, when finished using the thruster push the off button. The thruster will also turn itself off after about 4 minutes on non use.

3.5.4

Cruising

Slowly come up to your desired cruising rpm. (Do not exceed 1400 RPM until the engine temperature gauge reads at least 140 degrees). Sea Daze can cruise nicely at approximately 16-17 knots. However, the realities of

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 18 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner vessel hull design and power plant engineering dictate that higher RPM operation will be less efficient on semidisplacement hulls. Thus, you will notice from the following table that every knot above “displacement speed”

(about 7 knots) can get expensive.

RPM Gallons/Hour Speed (Knots) Nautical Miles/Gallon

2300

2.6

6.0

22.0

0.8

It is advised to not exceed 2500 rpm except for brief intervals. (High engine speeds cause the engine to overheat

(over 205 degrees) causing damage as well as high fuel consumption).

Always have a sharp lookout posted for logs, deadheads, crab pots or other possible hazards. A log hitting a prop can ruin your vacation . Debris will tend to gather along current lines. It is often best to go around these areas and miss the minefields.

3.5.5

Trim Tabs

The Trim Tabs can be effective at bringing the bow to an ideal cruising attitude, or to adjust for a side wind.

CAUTION: Do not press one tab down at the same time you press the other one up. This may blow a fuse.

PLEASE, NOTE: the trim tabs should be operated one at a time (only port or only starboard) using a short duration on each switch back and forth until the desired attitude is achieved. Allow a few moments after each duration to determine the effect of the adjustment. Once established at cruise, make minor adjustments and watch your speed on the GPS to see if it improves, or gets worse. Careful use of the Tabs can improve fuel efficiency, and poor adjustments can cost extra $$$ in fuel burned.

The trim tabs have a DC circuit breaker. The controls are to the right of each wheel. The trim tabs are for use at fast speeds only to help trim the bow down over its wave to a planning angle. It can also help level the boat to either side at lower speeds. Avoid trimming the bow too far down as this can decrease performance.

Whenever you slow down off a plane, turn the tabs all the way up. This can improve handling in trailing seas and docking. (To determine when they are up or down, individually press each control either up or down and hold while you count off 15 to 20 seconds)

3.5.6

Autopilot

WARNING -- ALWAYS know the status of autopilot – is it on ‘auto’ or is it ‘standby’? Turning the wheel to avoid debris, or traffic WILL NOT disengage ‘auto’ mode -- the boat WILL return to and maintain the set course. You must press ‘standby’ mode to disable ‘auto’ mode. Make certain to set the autopilot into standby when approaching harbor, docking or close quarters maneuvering or the helm may not respond at all. Refer to the Raymarine autopilot manual in the cabinet beneath Pilothouse Electrical Panel for more information.

Turn on the Autopilot switch at the power control cabinet.

The Autopilot head unit is located on pilothouse helm portside. The Auto pilot may be operated from the pilot house directly via the head unit or from the flybridge with the wired remote.

These units aid in maintaining course heading and can be set to follow a pre planned GPS course. The

Raymarine ST 6000 autopilot also provides a rudder angle indicator useful for low speed operations and differential steering situations. The rudder position indicator is displayed at the bottom of the head unit and on the remote control display.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 19 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

For autopilot operations at the flybridge use the wired remote. It is stored in the starboard side drawer in the pilot house. The remote unit plugs into a socket in the bridge radio cabinet and performs all functions via the push buttons and the small digital display. For night illumination, press the ‘Lamp’ button to change the light level of the autopilot and the tri-data display.

It is the skipper’s responsibility to maintain watch for objects and other vessels, or to designate a crew member to perform that watch at all times. This becomes even more important when operating under the autopilot.

When operating under autopilot there should always be someone near the control, trained in how to put the system into standby and manually drive the boat.

Begin normal navigation under manual control (Standby mode) until you are certain the general course and direction is clear. Bring the boat to your desired speed and press the auto button to engage. The auto pilot will use its built in compass to hold the boat on the current heading until given other directions. It will compensate for current and wind as needed. To adjust direction you may use the 1 degree increment button, or the 10 degree increment buttons for changing heading to starboard or port as needed. In this mode the boat will continue indefinitely on whatever heading it is last set for.

Tracking to a planned course. If the E127 MFD system is online and receiving a GPS signal and a course has been planned and activated the autopilot may be set to track it. In this mode the autopilot will attempt to follow the course segments as programmed. Before initiating a tracked course, manually bring the boat within a few tenths of a mile of the nearest segment and its intended heading.

It is very important that you verify the next waypoint is the target / active waypoint. If it is not use the advance waypoint option from the E127 navigation menu to move the active waypoint along the course.

Failure to do this may result in a rapid and dangerous change in course to the incorrect waypoint.

Visually check that no objects or other traffic is in the intended course and press the track button. Verify that the autopilot is tracking to the intended route by observing the E127 MFD charts and position indicator.

When approaching the end of a segment an alarm will sound. It is advised that the skipper take a moment to check that the new heading is clear of objects and other traffic. If the next segment is clear then push the track button, or push in on the joystick one time to advance to the next segment and allow the auto pilot to change course and continue.

If no action is taken the autopilot will continue on the last heading and the alarm will continue to sound. If it is decided not to advance to the next segment you may press standby to operate manually, or you may press auto to stop the alarm and tracking and continue on the last set heading.

Refer to the Raymarine ST 6000 Autopilot manual in cabinet beneath Pilothouse Electrical Panel for additional features.

3.5.7

Search Light

The searchlight has a DC circuit breaker labeled “searchlight”. Be careful, the light gets hot. The light works from either upper or lower helm depending on how you’ve switched the controls on the pilot house helm. It may be directed via the small joystick at each helm.

3.5.8

Docking

Before entering the marina or nearing a dock,

have a plan

. Prepare the boat and crew while away from the dock by placing fenders over the rails and have dock lines tied to cleats at appropriate locations;

pre-assign crew members to handle specific lines and fenders, discuss who will communicate information to the skipper, such as proximity of the transom to the dock.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 20 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

To bring Sea Daze into a dock, decide which side of the boat will go against the dock and set your fenders.

Also attach a stern line, a midships line and a bow line so they are ready to use for docking. During docking, as with any close quarters maneuvering, it is best to use the bridge helm for maximum visibility. If using the pilothouse, make sure you open both doors so that you can quickly assess your clearance. Since it is difficult to see the stern from either driving position, it is wise to have an experienced person handling the stern line so that they can also advise you of your position. Give clear instruction to the crew on what you will expect of them

(i.e. lines and fenders). Communicate with your crew.

Prior to docking, Ensure trim tabs are all the way up (bow up position). Bow Thruster 24 volt system turned on and thruster control turned on. While moving slowly towards the dock, center the wheel and use the gear shifts to maneuver the vessel. Throttles should be in idle position. The exception to idle speed is in windy conditions when it may be necessary to increase the rpms to maneuver the boat against the wind. It is not likely to need more that 800-900 rpms to deal with the wind conditions.

Tie the stern and bow lines off and attach spring lines as needed to secure the boat. Please place chafing protectors on all rub points to protect the lines. Chafing may occur on cleats, rub rails, hand rails, or any point that the line makes contact with another surface.

Dock lines:

Be certain you turn off the Bow Thruster 24 volt system after securing all lines.

3.5.9

Mooring Docks, Rope Lines and Buoys

There are many marine park mooring options in Puget Sound, San Juan Islands and Canada. They may eliminate your need for anchoring and are recommended in crowded bays, etc. There is typically a nominal fee to support maintenance of the parks and these mooring aids.

Please be aware, Washington State parks limit use of their buoys to vessels of 45ft or less. These buoys are not sufficient to hold larger vessels. This will exclude Sea Daze from use of most buoys, however larger vessels may tie to floating docks, piers and mooring rope lines anchored by pilings.

3.5.10

Anchoring

GROUND TACKLE The primary working anchor is a 60 Lb Ultra, rated as Super High Holding Power (SHHP) with approximately 300' of all-chain rode; anchor wash down; and Muir 1200 12vDC reversing electric anchor windlass. The anchor is secured by a large turnbuckle when not in use to prevent inadvertent deployment.

The chain is marked at 25ft intervals for reference. From 0ft to 100ft the marking is blue, 100ft to 200ft yellow, from 200ft to 275ft red and the last 25ft of chain is all red. The chain is passed through the deck from the anchor locker. The locker can be accessed through the master stateroom (behind the mirror).

Always have the engines running when raising or lowering the anchor, the windlass draws very large amperage.

The Windlass (Winch) main switch is located in the Pilot House Power panel fwd side of the cabinet. For safety this switch should be turned off when not using the windlass and inadvertent anchor drop while under way could result in significant damage to the boat and drive systems.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 21 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

The Windlass is operated by using the foot switch in the foredeck. On the front of the windlass are 2 pawls that have to be moved out of the way to lower the anchor. There is a short handle / lever on the windlass used to rotate the drum and free up the pawls.

Caution: If the windlass is operated with the pawls in place it may trip the circuit breaker located in the battery cabinet by the cockpit door. This may also cause the clutch to over tighten and make the anchor difficult to deploy. If the clutch is tight use the extension handle (pipe) in the wash down locker to turn the small three pointed wheel on the starboard side of the windlass until the chain and anchor move freely.

Note: The windlass control buttons on the bow thruster remote have been disabled

Note: There is a Chapman’s boating manual on board with discussions on anchoring.

3.5.10.1

To Set Anchor:



Release the turn buckle from the anchor



Turn on the “Windlass Power” switch in the power cabinet.



Pull the two pawls back away from the gear teeth at the front of the drum (the winch is powerful so watch fingers and toes).



Flip the chain cap over the hawse pipe out of the way to prevent chain catching



Uncap the button on deck that points forward (the one on the left). Tap it with your toe to get 1 or 2 feet of slack.



The anchor is self launching and should begin to drop over the pulpit roller.



Put out the proper amount of scope. (use a minimum of 4ft of chain: for each 1 ft of depth from the deck, a good practice is 7:1) Note that the depth transducer is at the bottom of the boat and well below the deck line, add 8 ft to the depth reading to determine a proper depth for scope. Be certain to consider your swing radius and assure you have room should wind or current change your direction.



Once the scope is out and before setting the anchor return the pawls back in place on the gear teeth.

Forgetting this may damage the windlass clutch.



Set the anchor with either or both engines in reverse, gently at first. The Ultra anchor is fast setting and very strong. It should be very apparent when it has a hold on the bottom.



Turn off the “Windlass Power” in the pilot house power cabinet.



Remember your requirement to have your anchor light on during hours of darkness.

Note: on the starboard side of the windlass is a three-pronged wheel. This is a clutch that may be loosened to lower the anchor by gravity and control its descent, or tighten the clutch if the windlass is slipping. A pipe extension is kept in the wash down locker to turn the handles if need be.

3.5.10.2

To Weigh Anchor:



Turn on the “Windlass Power” switch in the pilot house power cabinet.



Flip open the cap covering the hawes pipe to allow the chain to flow easily and avoid potential jam up.



Uncap the button on the deck that points aft (the one on the right) and tap the button with your toe to take up slack chain on the rode. Have your first mate at the upper helm so you can communicate with

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 22 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner each other. As you take up the chain move the boat SLOWLY forward with the engines being careful not to run over the chain.

Caution: Do not use the windlass to drag the boat forward to the anchor this can cause damage to the windlass motor and clutch system.



The rode chain and anchor will likely come up muddy or dirty. Please use the hose in the foredeck wash down locker to rinse off the chain and anchor. Turn on the wash-down pump from the pilot house power panel, spray the chain and anchor to clean it as it comes in. PLEASE DON’T PUT THE CHAIN

AWAY MUDDY AS IT WILL LEAD TO A SMELLY, MUSTY BOAT. While some scents of the sea are pleasantly memorable, this would not be one of those.



The Ultra anchor system has a self aligning swivel that will roll the anchor into the correct position.

Bring the last few feet of chain in slowly by tapping the switch so it moves in small increments so it doesn’t slam into the hull or the bow roller and to allow the anchor time to rotate.

Caution: If you bring the anchor in fast and hard it can over tighten the windlass clutch, jam the anchor against the pawls and trip the circuit breaker in the battery cabinet.



When the anchor is clear of the water and close up to the bow roller, it may be best to handle those last few feet by hand with the extension pipe.



Attach the turnbuckle to secure the anchor against unintentional deployment.



Turn off the “windlass Power” switch.



A spare anchor, chain, and line are located in the starboard lazarette. This “lunch anchor” is for emergencies; light sea conditions and is not adequate to hold the vessel by itself.



Trouble shooting the windlass: If the windlass fails to operate verify the power is on in the pilot house, if the windlass was used to over draw on the anchor it may trip the windlass circuit breaker. This may be reset at the battery panel port side next to the cockpit salon door. If the windlass is jammed (somebody has over drawn in the windlass) try releasing the clutch wheel with the extension handle and pulling a little chain up from the chain locker to cause slack.

3.6 Shut Down

Before shutting down, the engines should idle for about 5 minutes to let them cool. This is usually not an issue as engines will be at idle for a sufficient period of time during docking maneuvers. Ensure that each gearshift is in the neutral position and each throttle is in idle. Turn off the engines using the ignition keys.

3.7 Fueling

Sea Daze uses Diesel # 2 fuel. ONLY the skipper should fill fuel tanks being sure it is filled at the deck plates labeled “Fuel”

and NOT “Water” or “Waste

”.

This error has been made by a number of well seasoned skippers and will ruin a vacation and is expensive to remedy.

Make sure the fuel is indeed diesel and not gas (trace back to the pump). Each fuel tank must be fueled separately as they do not cross fill to the other side.

Before pumping protect the environment and vessel from spills, fuel spills can bring very large fines. Attach an overfill spill container over the vent for the tank you are filling. Overfill containers are stored in the starboard

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 23 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner lazarette. These are attached with suction cups directly to the hull. Have an oil/fuel absorbent ready to soak up any spilled fuel. All windows and ports should be closed to minimize fuel odor. You should have a rough idea of how many gallons you will need to keep from filling too fast and spilling over the deck or spewing from a vent. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. With a little practice you can tell by the sound when the tank is nearly full. It is a good idea to have a crew member watch the pump meter and tell the skipper when it is near the expected amount but several gallons before the expected amount is pumped.

The fill tubes on occasion will burp back when filled too fast and this can be very messy. Wrap the nozzle with an absorb right at the filler while pumping the fuel to contain any back splash.

Some marina pump hoses are not long enough to reach both tanks from across the deck. One way to get to both fuel tanks, without moving the boat, is to open both pilot house doors and pass the fuel hose through the pilot house.

Please be very careful

when doing this to avoid spills in the pilot house cabin. Completely wrap the nozzle with an absorbent and have a crew member guide the hose from inside to prevent contact with settees, walls and carpets. If diesel is spilled inside the cabin it can be a downer for your vacation as it is very difficult to remove the odor and expensive to clean from furniture and carpets.

Replace the deck fill caps, check your fuel gauges and turn on the engine room blower for several minutes, this may be done while you go and pay. Clean up any spatter and wash hands thoroughly.

•

DO NOT TRUST FUEL GAUGES. As a policy, top off the tanks approximately every 15 engine hours.

This leaves a margin to guarantee you will not run out of fuel. The port tank feeds the port engine and the starboard tank feeds the starboard engine and the generator so it may take slightly more fuel.

•

RACOR fuel filters are mounted in the engine access under the top step next to the galley. Inspect them whenever you are in the engine room. Water will appear separate from the fuel and can be drained out the petcock at their bottoms. A little dirt is okay but if they look dirty call AYC to change the filters.

4 Electrical System

GENERAL:

The Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse has an electrical system that requires special understanding. Before reporting any system failure, search for that system’s second or even third switch. There are many redundancies. For example: the depth sounder circuit on the DC main circuit board must be on. Also the depth sounder switch on the flybridge to the left of the wheel must be on.

The electrical needs of a Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse can be very high. Therefore you may need to prioritize use of some appliances and these should only be used when others are turned off. Pay attention to the amperage meter on the main circuit board to keep tabs on the amperage draw. When plugged into a single 30-amp shore power, do not exceed 30 amps draw. The biggest amperage users are the water heater, the electric stove and the inverter may draw very high current if charging the house batteries.

Note that if you have two separate power sources you may configure up to 60 amp by setting the main panel rotary switches to ”normal” vs. “parallel” settings Line 1-2 and/or Line 1-3. You will likely need to pay an extra fee to the marina for this extra power.

4.1 AC Power

Page 24 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

The AC panel is in the forward half of the starboard side cabinet in the pilothouse. Either plugging into shore power or turning on the generator energizes the panel. For very limited needs the inverter will also energize some items of the AC panel.

There are two knobs for selecting how to shore power your AC circuits. Both bridge settings 1-2 and 1-3 are located at the top of the AC panel. The preferred and most common configuration is shown in the photo.

There are 3 master AC switches and three columns of

AC breaker switches that control what is powered.

Note the following: (

this switching configuration is not intuitive please read this carefully)

•

Dockside Master Line 1

, above the 1 left) controls all items in the 1 st st

column (far

column of switches and most items in the 2 nd

(middle) column.

This is a

consequence of the factory wiring for the inverter system and results in a potential for high amperage on switch circuit 1 regardless of having a second, or third power cord.

•

Dockside Master Line 2,

above the 2 nd

(middle) column, this only controls the range and the washer-dryer unit.

Everything else in the 2 nd

column is always controlled from Dockside Master Switch 1, along with all of column 1.

•

Dockside Master Line 3

, above the 3 rd

(far right) column controls the electric heating units and any other items in column #3.

•

Caution: When in parallel mode the associated circuits are powered from master switch #1 regardless of the

#2 or #3 master switches being turned on or off. In parallel mode turning the dockside master off does not turn off any of the individual circuits associated with that master switch.

4.1.1

Plugging in…

Verify the power panel master switches are turned off. Turn off the dock power outlet before plugging or unplugging either end of the shore power cords. This prevents arcs, sparks, and shocks: and the cords, sockets and plugs will last longer. It is good practice to plug in the boat end of the cord before plugging into the shore outlet. Turn the dock power on when both ends of the electrical cords are securely connected. It is important to make a loop around the dock receptacle and another around a boat cleat to keep the cord out of the water and to provide some slack to keep the plugs from detaching.

Two 30 amp Shore power cords are kept in the pilot house under the settee. A selection of cord adaptors are kept in a bin with the cords.

4.1.2

Service Line Options

Sea Daze has four dockside electrical receptacles, three are AC hookup lines and one is telephone and cable TV inlet. These shore power receptacles are located on the outside starboard, just aft the pilot house door.

The three forward most receptacles are the main shore power input and allow for multiple 30amp service. You may connect each receptacle to its own power source (dock outlet) to allow more current draw, or these may be bridged together to draw from a single shore power source by placing the rotary switches in the AC panel to parallel. Each receptacle is paired with a Dockside Master Line switch on the AC power panel.

When connecting with only one 30 amp power cord use the receptacle for Dockside Line 1 (the receptacle towards the bow) and set the rotary selector switches in the AC system panel to “Parallel Mode”. “Parallel

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 25 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner mode” is setup when Dockside Line 2 selector switch points to ‘Line 1-2’ and Line 3 Selector switch points to

‘Line 1-3”.

NOTE – The most common usage, and the easiest method, is “parallel” mode with one shore power cord at receptacle 1.

Please see the photo above

In “parallel” mode, only Line 1 is connected to shore power and the total current being used is the sum of the three AMMETER readings. If the total current exceeds the capacity of shore power service, the Line 1

DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker will trip OFF. In this event you must turn off enough AC components to remain within the service capacity and reset the breaker.

The following appliances draw the highest amperage: inverter, hot water tank, range/oven, microwave, washer/dryer, baseboard heaters, vacuum. The most common cause of a tripped master is due to the inverter charging the house batteries and trying to run any other high draw appliance. In this situation either wait for the inverter to charge the batteries (60 to 90 minutes) or you can temporarily turn off the inverter to allow the other devices to operate, however be certain to turn it back on or you will eventually have no house batterypower.

If more shore power service is desired and available, an additional power cord may be connected to a separate service pole. Then connect to receptacle for Line #2/ Line #3 and change rotary switch to “Normal” and turn on the associated master line switch. In this “normal” mode, the current load is read for each separate line’s

AMMETER.

When using additional power sources the following items may be powered separate.

•

Line #2 in normal mode will provide power only for the range and washer-dryer unit.

•

Line #3 in normal mode will power the electric heaters.

•

All remaining electrical circuits are always on line #1. This heavy loading to line #1 is due to the inverter circuitry.

The bottom line is you will need to manage the current load on line 1 and any parallel circuits to prevent tripping the circuit breaker.

4.1.3

Power-up

Have your source selector switched to OFF to confirm available voltage, switch on the meter at the top of each

“line”. The voltmeter at the top of this panel will then confirm that you have 110 to 120 volts available. The red “polarity hazard” lights for each line should NOT be on.

If either light is on, do not use shore power until you solve the problem.

If no warning indicators are on, turn the master circuit breaker on at the electrical panel for the powered lines.

Note: that if you have been running off battery power when you first power up on shore power circuit the inverter and battery chargers may draw a very high load (over 20 amp). This is normal and can take an hour or more while the inverter brings the batteries up. If you need to run a high power appliance you must either wait until the current draw goes down, or delay turning on the inverter until later.

Turn on appropriate red appliance switches for battery charger, refrigerator, etc. Watch your amp meter for load. If the load exceeds the supplied amps, it will trip the breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on one of your high draw systems (i.e. water heater, space heaters, oven, microwave, etc.) until the use of power decreases.

If your outlets fail to work, check your GFCIs to make sure that they have not been tripped. One GFCI (like the one to the right of the galley stove, or in the pilot house) often controls more than one outlet (e.g. kitchen GFCI

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 26 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner controls the salon TV outlets). 120-volt outlets are ground-fault protected (GFCI). If an outlet is not operating, first check the AC panel receptacle switch, and then check the GFCI outlet for the circuit DC Power

4.2 DC Power System

There are three battery banks in the 12-volt system: Generator Start Batteries, Engine Start Batteries,

House/Inverter Batteries.

The battery master switches are located aft, next to the salon sliding door on the port side. Normally you will leave the switches in the ON position. There is a DC MASTER SWITCH (it is black) on the left of the panel.

It must be switched to the right for the DC system to work. Note that it will trip if it detects a problem with the

DC circuitry.

Note: Changing the position of the battery switches with the engines running will cause damage! Only change positions with the engines off. Normally, it will not be necessary to change these.

Call AYC if you need further directions.

The DC panel is the right side in the starboard cabinet in the pilothouse. The DC MASTER switch has to be on before any of these switches will work.

Remember, there may be helm switches such as Navigation Lights or

Depth Sounder that also have to be switched on or off at the upper helm.

With the DC MASTER on and the ENGINE START switches on check the level of charge in the batteries by rotating the switch on the upper right and watching the meter to the left of the switch. This does not show the level of charge of the inverter batteries. The inverter will show the charge level of its own batteries via the remote inverter control at the aft end of the wet bar in the salon.

The DC electrical panel (right side of the electrical panel in Pilothouse) shows all the systems supported by the batteries. You will be turning on these breakers for lights, water pressure, electronics, etc. This will allow you to manage your power usage. Certain breakers should be turned off after each use (engine room light, washdown pump, etc). Bilge pumps should always be left on.

When disconnected from shore power (and without the generator running), the 12-volt systems will drain the house batteries, especially when at anchor.

Monitor your batteries very carefully

. When anchored, turning off high draw items (icemaker, bridge lights, refrigerator, water heater) will extend battery time between charges.

Page 27 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

The DC voltmeter on the DC panel can be switched between the battery banks to measure battery voltage.

Typically the bank should read from about 13.0 to 14.5 volts when being charged. While at rest, the voltage will drop as indicated in the figures below.

Voltage

12.65 volts

12.47 volts

12.25 volts

11.95 volts

11.70 volts

Battery State of Charge

50%

25%

Note: Voltage will tend to read less than actual if the batteries are under load (being used). The only true voltage measurement comes from a battery that is not under load nor has been for a brief period of time.

Therefore, you will probably have a little more battery power remaining than indicated.

All the batteries are charged while underway (above 1200 RPM) by the alternators. Caution: Alternators may not be able to keep up during times of heavy draw on the house bank. The engine and house batteries are charged by the battery charger and inverter charger while connected to shore power or on generator power.

Ensure that the battery charger (Start Bank) is on as well as the inverter charger (House Bank)

Battery Locations:



Starboard Engine Start Battery

: Starboard Engine is started from a shared engine starting battery stored on the port side Lazarette, The starboard engine provides charging for the house and accessory batteries.



Port Engine Start Battery

: Port Engine is started from the shared engine start battery. The port engine charges the engine battery and the bow thruster batteries.



House Batteries/ Inverter Batteries

: Charged by the port engine. The house batteries are in the

Starboard Lazarette



Generator Battery

: Charges its own battery. Stored in Starboard Lazarette



Bow Thruster Battery

: Charged by the port engine. Stored in the forward state room under the pull up panel port side under the center line berth.

Note

: All batteries may be charged by the generator or with shore power with “charger/Inverter” switches on

4.3 Inverter Power

The inverter is able to provide 2.5KW maximum of AC power to the 110-volt receptacle plugs and the microwave oven when the boat is disconnected from shore power. The inverter does not provide power to the water heater, trash compactor, range, washer-dryer, or the battery charger.

The inverter control panel is located on the salon next to the starboard end of the settee ice maker cabinet. The inverter itself is located under the settee seat near the salon door. The inverter’s power source is the DC house and inverter batteries. The quantity of DC power is limited to the capacity of these batteries. Running hair dryers, toaster, coffeepots, space heaters, etc will quickly discharge the house/inverter batteries. Use these items very sparingly and monitor your battery usage carefully.

When connected to shore power, the inverter automatically becomes a battery charger for the 12-volt house/inverter batteries. Should you detect the inverter failing to charge the house/inverter batteries, check the circuit breaker in the AC panel and the inverter control panel.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 28 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

4.4 Generator

The Generator can supply up to 8KW of AC power and will power all 110 volt appliances and outlets. It can be run while under way or stopped. This gives tremendous flexibility, especially when at anchor.

Before starting the generator ensure that the oil and coolant level have been checked and the raw water thru-hull is open. To check oil you must remove the sound guard access panel first. The generator is located in the center lazarette inside a sound shield.

Note: The generator dipstick is on the port side near the bottom of the generator and the coolant is checked at the expansion tank in the port side transom/cockpit cabinet.

The generator controls are located on the bottom of the AC electrical panel in the pilothouse. To start the generator, hold the switch in the Start/Preheat position until the engine catches (10-15 seconds). Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds. If the generator does not start, wait 30 seconds, repeat steps above, and then attempt another start. You should hear the generator engine start as well as see the generator instruments light up on the electrical panel next to the switch.

Go to the swim step and make sure the cooling water and exhaust is exiting at the stern. If no water is observed shut down the generator immediately to prevent damage and check the through hull seacock is open and sea strainer is clear. The power panel has an engine temperature gage for the generator. The generator should not run above 220 degree F. If it is running hot turn it off and contact AYC.

NOTE – If the generator starting motor is not operating, check the emergency ‘STOP’ toggle switch (silver-color) on the power control box at top, aft of generator. Remove the top panel. Toggle the position to ‘RUN’. The switch is easy to toggle accidently during routine maintenance)

After the generator is running, turn on the Generator Main Breaker and check for good voltage. Then turn on the Generator Master Breaker. The Dockside Master Breaker Must be off for each Dockside Line Circuit and then slide the lock out guard down over the master Switch.

Turn on the AC systems as you would if hooking up to shore power. If you have been anchored for some time, the battery charger/inverter charger may take up a large load so you may need to keep other high draw items off initially. The generator can carry a large load, but too much load such as water heater, stovetop, etc may overload the system.

To turn the generator off,

first take off the load

by turning the AC breakers off. Turn off the main AC distribution switch. Turn off the Generator Main Breaker. Kill the generator by hold the switch in the stop position until it stops.

Note: It is fine to run the generator as much as you see fit. However, it is not good for the generator to run

without a load on it. That means you should have a reason for it to be running (water heater, oven/stove, recharge the batteries, etc.) It is usually not necessary to run the generator underway, as you have the inverter

(unless the starboard alternator is not keeping up with high electrical usage)

5 Sanitation System

Note: “Grey water” from the sinks and showers drains overboard through various above water thru-hulls.

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

5.1 Vacuflush Toilets

Sea Daze is equipped with Vacuflush heads. They are easy to use, odor free and are temperamental but reliable.

They use fresh water for flushing. To keep them operating properly, use a minimum of toilet paper. Flush the heads by depressing the foot pedal and holding it down for a full 3 seconds (this can feel like a long time, count to 3 slowly). If you wish to add more water to the bowl, pull up on the foot pedal.

They are slightly noisy while the vacuum pump recharges. If the vacuum pump system periodically runs on its own it may indicate the ball flush valve is not seated. Even a very slight amount of tissue or other debris can keep the flush ball from fully seating. Examine the bowl for debris, use a brush to clean around the ball valve, lift the pedal to fill the bowl with a higher water level than typical and flush, repeat this a few times. If the system continues to run on its own contact AYC for assistance.

NEVER PUT FOOD INTO MARINE HEADS OR PAPER TOWELS, NAPKINS, SANITARY

PRODUCTS, and HOUSEHOLD Toilet Tissue. USE ONLY MARINE Toilet Tissue (PROVIDED BY

AYC).

The system can make or break your vacation. Therefore, it is imperative that every person on board be informed on the proper use of the toilet. If you don’t tell them how to use the heads they will not know how to avoid clogs. The valves, openings, and pumps are small (about the size of a quarter) and can clog easily. If the head gets clogged, it is your responsibility. Always assist a child when flushing the head, so you can be certain of what is being flushed. If you have a large amount of waste it is advisable to flush the waste first, then flush the toilet paper.

Trouble Shooting:

If the toilet is not working at all verify you have Turned ON the two TOILET switches and the WATER

PRESSURE switch on the DC panel.

If the bowl doesn’t seal completely after use, try flushing again and making sure nothing is stuck in the seal.

Hint: release the pedal quickly.

If the bowl fails to drain and the pump is working, the drain pipe may be clogged. The opening is small to protect the system. Turn OFF the TOILET and the WATER PRESSURE switches at the DC panel. Press pedal to open the ball valve. Clear debris from the opening. Turn ON the switches and flush a couple times.

5.2 Holding Tank

The sanitation holding tank holds approximately 40 gallons. Be aware of the rate of waste production. The tank monitor only provides a full indication. It is a no kidding the tank is full and needs to be pumped right now indicator. Due to the limit of the tank monitor it is necessary to check the holding tank level each day by looking at the level of water in the tank with a flashlight. You can shine the flash light against the plastic tank wall and observe the height of the waste in the tank. The holding tank is located in the engine room, on the starboard side under the salon sofa. The sewage production rate of the crew is about 1 gallon per toilet flush.

The tank monitor is not to be trusted, they frequently fail regardless of good maintenance practices.

If the tank becomes overfilled it may break a hose, clog a vent or burst the tank.

The result will be an indescribable catastrophe and an expensive fix to you

. Empty the tank at least every other day to avoid any problems. Our hope is that all guests will have a pleasurable vacation.

The holding tank can be emptied in one of two ways:

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 30 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

#1 At a pump-out station, remove the deck waste cap located starboard near the fuel fill. Be careful removing the waste cap. It is not connected to the boat. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening (double-check that you have the right deck opening). Turn on the pump on the dock and open the valve on the handle of the hose. When pumping is finished, close lever on handle and turn off pump. If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding water for 1-2 minutes. Then pump out again to leave the tank rinsed and clean.

This rinse helps to eliminate any head odors.

This is absolutely not permitted in US Waters and is subject to very severe fines.

The tank’s contents can be discharged at sea by using the macerator pump. To operate the macerator, depress both of the Macerator

Rocker Switches (located in the pilot house DC electrical panel). Listen to the macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. The only way to hear the pitch is to bring the boat to idle and lift up the companionway stairs. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank.

6 Water Systems

Sea Daze has approximately a 180 gallon pressurized water system, a dock side water inlet and two Raw Water

Wash down systems.

6.1 Fresh Water System and Tanks

Sea Daze has two water tanks, one is approximately 120 gallons and the other is approximately 40 Gallons.

The remaining portion of the 180 gallons is in the lines and hot water tank. The tank fill caps are on the portside foredeck. Fill each tank one at a time. To fill the tanks, be certain the area around the fill caps is clean and clear of debris. To minimize debris in the water tanks remove one of the deck water fill caps and fill the tank and replace the cap before filling the other. Use the food grade white and blue striped hoses (regular garden hoses will leave a plastic taste and odor in the water). Fill only with potable drinking water, verify the water is potable not all dock water is.

A manifold to switch tanks is located under the companionway stairs (engine room access) on the port side of the compartment, behind the hot water tank. There are two hoses feeding into the water pump. Each line has a shut off valve. Turn clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open. It may be wise to only open one tank at a time since the upper/forward tank (120 gallons) will empty first and then allow air to flow along with the lower/midship tank’s water (40gallons) to the pump possibly causing sporadic water flow at the sinks and showers.

The water pressure pump is located under the companionway stairs (engine room access) on the port side.

Activate the pump by turning on the “water pressure breaker at the DC panel. The pump is a demand pump and will only come on when pressure is needed.

If the pump continues to run, it is either out of water or has an air lock (which can be corrected by opening a faucet). If you run out of water immediately shut off the pump and turn off the water heater by turning off their respective breakers on the AC panel

. Switch to the full tank as directed in the preceding paragraph.

Serious damage to the heating element can occur if the water heater is on without water.

A fresh water inlet is located on the transom for dock side water source. Connect a drinking water hose (white with blue stripes) to the dock spigot and run water through the hose to purge air and stale water. Turn off the water and attach the hose to the inlet. Turn the water back on. Turn off the water pressure pump at the power panel.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 31 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Ensure the Water Pressure breaker/Dock Spigot is off if you are leaving the boat for an extended time to prevent loss of water (and running of the pump) through a faucet being accidentally left on.

6.2 Water Heater

The WATER HEATER

(Seaward S-1800)

capacity is 18-gallons. Heated water is produced by:

• AC Power – Turn ON the WATER HEATER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel for hot water

When the AC breaker is on while connected to shore power or

When running the generator (the Water Heater will not run off the inverter).

• Diesel Furnace – Set the control switch to SYSTEM HEAT

• Engine Heat – Set control unit to ENGINE HEAT while underway - port engine exchanger

The heater uses 1500W AC (12.5A); use fewer AC devices if connected to 30A or less power source.

CAUTION – Turn OFF water heater if water tanks are low to avoid damage to heating elements.

6.3 Raw Water Wash Down

There are raw water wash downs located on the bow (in the locker near the anchor) and aft in the port and starboard compartments in the cockpit. Be sure they are completely turned off after use (especially the aft wash downs) as they can potentially flood the bilge. The system uses it own pump (breaker on DC Panel). The

Breaker should be turned off if not needed.

7 Inside the house

7.1 Showers

Please, only use shower gels and soft soaps for all personal washing. Bar soaps have a caking agent that results in hair clumps that clog drains and sump pumps

. AYC provides liquid soap.

Before taking a shower, make sure the water pressure and shower sump pump breakers are on.

The Master Stateroom shower drains automatically by a float switch operating the master shower sump pump.

If it is not operating properly, it may be clogged and need to be cleaned by carefully removing the lid (It is located behind the glass doors in the hallway).

The Guest shower drains via activation of the RED switch near the toilet (aft side of the vanity). You will know the guest sump pump is operating because it is quite loud.

If you fail to turn on the guest shower sump it will flood the companion hallway with water and soak the carpet. This is messy and unpleasant.

Turn off sump when shower is turned off.

Please wipe down the shower stalls when finished to keep the shower presentable. Pick up any accumulation of hair in the drains as it clogs the hoses and sump pumps. Ensure that the faucets are tightly- turned off after each shower.

There is a transom shower with hot and cold water for swimmers next to the door to the cockpit swim step.

7.2 The Galley

The galley is fully equipped with a number of appliances for your convenience. Most of these are easy to operate. Nevertheless, there are some features that are different than a home model.

7.2.1

Sink Countertop

Please protect countertops and sinks from damage. Use the cutting boards supplied.

Keep the countertops dry, Avoid splashes.

Refrigeration

The refrigerators are dual voltage (110 volt AC and 12 volt DC) and will automatically use the 110-volt power when shore power/generator is on and DC power when AC is not available.

Galley Refrigerator-Freezer

Leave both refrigerator breakers in the ON position. Carefully monitor the use of the each refrigerator when on

12-volt power such as when you are at anchor as they can drain the batteries rather quickly. Use a cooler when available to keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.

The Galley REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER is a

Nova Cool

7.0-cu-ft model. To operate the galley fridge:

• Turn ON the REFRIGERATOR switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel

• Turn ON the REFRIGERATOR switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel

• Turn ON the power switch below the refrigerator door and adjust the temperature

Fly Bridge Refrigerator

The Bridge REFRIGERATOR is a

Norcold 2.7-cu-ft model

. To operate the Bridge Fridge/

• Turn ON the ENTERTAINMENT CENTER switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel

• Turn ON the BRIDGE REFRIGERATOR switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel

• Turn ON the local power switch in the fridge and adjust the temperature

CAUTION – The bridge refrigerator consumes much DC power. Use it selectively, or rely on a cooler. It also creates overhead motor noise in the Salon.

Adjust the temperature to conserve power. A setting of 2.5 or 3 should be good for AC setup. It is advisable to turn the setting lower when on battery power and consider turning it off at night.

7.2.2

Ice Maker

The ICE MAKER is located in the Salon starboard. Turn ON the ICEMAKER switch on the Pilothouse AC

Panel. The device power switch is reached through a finger hole at the top of the front grill, just below the door

-- it is normally ON.

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

At the end of your trip turn the icemaker OFF, dispose of any ice and PROP IT OPEN to prevent mold.

7.2.3

Microwave

The microwave is a

GE Spacemaker

unit. Turn ON the MICROWAVE switch at the Pilothouse AC Panel. The

Microwave can be used with shore, generator, or inverter power.

The unit can use a large amount of power (up to 15 amps). It may be necessary to turn off other AC devices to avoid tripping the AC Circuit Breaker.

The Microwave is connected to the Inverter system, so it will operate when AC power is not available.

NOTE – During meal preparation, it may be necessary to turn OFF non-essential AC devices when shore power is less than 30-amps, in order to use several galley appliances. Microwave

7.2.4

Stove/Oven

The boat is equipped with a 3-burner

Princess

Range and Oven. Turn ON the ELECTRIC RANGE switch at the Pilothouse AC panel. The unit uses a large amount of AC power (up to 25 amps). It may be necessary to reduce use of other AC devices to avoid tripping the Circuit Breaker. Read the power consumption on

Ammeters to determine total draw.

Lift the cook top surface cover to a vertical position, let it slide into its slot holder, and fold the top portion to form a shelf.

NOTE – Ensure the metal cover is seated firmly into the vertical position slot to disengage the range ‘safety’ device; otherwise, range controls will not operate.

The burners are controlled by variable controls on the front of the range. You may need to push the control knob in and then turn it. These burners have different cooking temperatures. The LEFT and RIGHT burners are

‘High” 1100-watt burners and will get red hot. The REAR burner is a ‘Medium’ 550-water burner and will remain dull grey at its maximum heat.

NOTE – If removed for cleaning it is possible for the burner elements to become mixed up and they will not match the controls. The high 1100-watt elements should be in the left-front and right front positions and the medium 550-watt element in the rear position. Recheck the wattage values stamped on frame of each element.

The RANGE TOGGLE switch enables COOKTOP and/or OVEN selection. Flipping switch to ‘Top Burners’ enables use of ALL three top burners. Flipping the switch to ‘Oven’ enables use of the OVEN, the REAR burner, and the RIGHT burner – the LEFT burner is disabled.

Counter lights beneath the Microwave illuminate the cook top surface. Turn on the MICROWAVE switch at the

Pilothouse AC panel. Press ‘Light’ on the Microwave Oven panel to ‘Bright’ or ‘Night’.

The Microwave fan will vent odors, smoke, and steam overboard. Ensure the MICROWAVE is turned ON.

Press ‘Fan’ on the Microwave panel to ‘High’ or ‘Low’. It you are using the oven, you are limited to only two of the three top burners. The upper control on the far left of the stove/oven has two positions “Stove Burners” and “Oven”. When switched to the oven position the front left burner on the stovetop will not function.

If the AC Master Breaker trips while operating the stove/oven, turn off other high draw items (like the water heater or icemaker) until finished cooking.

When done using the stove and/or oven, let the burners cool before lifting and lowering the lid. Without lifting the lid to clear the safety switch first you will damage the lid.

7.2.5

Trash Compactor

The compactor is an AC-only appliance so it needs shore power or the generator on-line to operate. Please do

NOT run it with little or nothing in it. The arm that presses down can over extend its elbow and jam. Generic compactor bags may be used. Please place a plastic bag, newspaper or other clean waste material on top before compressing to keep the compressor anvil clean.

7.2.6

Vacuum System

Sea Daze has a built in central vacuum system for easy clean up. The vacuum station is in the companion way starboard side behind a sliding glass door. The vacuum hose is long enough to reach all parts of the house.

Attachments, hose and extra bags are stored in the small compartment starboard side of the stairway.

To use the vacuum turn on the power switches at the pilot house power panel. The vacuum turns on when the metal end of the hose is inserted.

This is not a wet vac, please do not use it to clean up liquid (water) spills and flooding.

7.3 Entertainment Systems

7.3.1

AM/FM Stereos, CD and iPod

There are stereos in the salon and on the flybridge. Check that appropriate breakers in the pilothouse are on.

The fly bridge stereo is mounted port of the helm chair in the radio cabinet. It is capable of AM/FM and CD.

The salon stereo is next to the ice maker. It includes AM/FM radio and a CD changer with an iPod/iPhone/iPad compatible USB port. The USB port will also play MP3 and WMF files from a thumb drive, or other devices.

7.3.2

Television/Blu-ray

There is a LED TV and a Blu-ray/DVD player in the salon. To use the salon systems the DC circuit breakers for

“salon receptacles” and Stereo/TV must be on. A set of mini powered speakers are connected to the TV. These can be controlled via the TV volume control and have a separate power / volume control that is typically left on full volume.

There is no satellite TV and receiving local TV is unpredictable, you may scan for channels however it is low probability you will get a signal. The TV is best suited for viewing DVDs and Blu-ray.

7.3.3

Games

A variety of board games and cards are kept in the salon port side cabinets and in the brown automan.

7.3.4

Crab Pots

Two crab pots are kept in the port lazarette, be sure you have the correct license and it is in season.

7.3.5

Dock Chairs and Table

A folding table and folding chairs are stored in the port lazarette.

7.3.6

Barbeque

Please be kind. If you use the BBQ clean it fully. This requires that you dissemble the unit to remove grease from around the burner. If you cover the grill with foil and poke holes in it, it keeps things much easier to clean and gives the same quality of barbeque.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 35 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Cleaning:

After allowing it to cool…. to disassemble, remove the grill grate by turning it clockwise a few degrees, lift out the grease dispersion cap and pan ring (please be careful not to lose these parts they are expensive to replace) unscrew the burner head (IT SHOULD ONLY BE HAND TIGHT), remove the inner liner and outer liner. You can now clean all areas to remove grease. Be certain to re assemble all parts and securely hand tighten the burner.

Setup and Operating:

The barbecue is mounted on the starboard side of the fly bridge aft of the wet bar. The regulator is stored in the wet bar aft cabinet, be careful not to drop this overboard (attach it to the hand rail with the leader line) Insert the regulator with the control knob turned sideways. Gently slide the regulator in to the receiving tube. The regulator should lock in-place, as you rotate it down. Attach the propane bottle to the regulator.

The barbecue has as built in snap igniter. Open the propane to the start position and push and hold the control knob down; press firmly on the red button until it snaps. It may require a few times to get it to light. The barbeque can be lit manually if you have trouble using the snap lighter, this may occur in windy conditions. If needed there are butane lighters located in the wet bar cabinet near the barbeque.

Ensure that there are no flammables near the barbecue.

This barbeque cooks hot and fast, keep an eye on your food.

Please clean and wipe down the barbeque with a rag, remove and clean the grill with a scouring pad and disassemble and clean the grill kettle when you are done.

For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle in the salon or engine compartment. Propane is heavier than air and will settle in the bilge and could explode.

7.4 Heating Systems

The

Webasto Hydronic

DIESEL FURNACE system, rated at 45,000 Btu, uses little DC power and little diesel fuel. It can be used for every heating situation, especially when at anchor. The system has multiple independent zone control / fan heater units, and it will produce ‘warm’ tap water in the Hot Water tank when the system has been active.

The hydronic heating is also connected to an Everfast instant hot water coil that will provide heat and hot water when the engines are warm.

The

King

ELECTRIC CABIN HEATERS are AC-powered and are available when the boat is connected to

Shore Power or to the Generator. The 4 units provide heating in local zones.

7.4.1

Diesel-Furnace Heating System

WARNING – Do not to position a rafted boat, dinghy, fender, towels, or body over the exhaust port on the hull portside. The exhaust is VERY HOT and will cause injury or equipment damage.

The hydronic heating system is a radiator and forced air heat system controlled by thermostatic zone controls in the Pilot house, galley, mid stateroom and master stateroom. Various switches are in cabins to turn on the fans.

This system may also provide defrost heat for the pilot house main windows.

Turn ON the SYSTEM HEAT on the panel in the pilot house next to the fly bridge stair. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the system to reach minimum operating temperature - the fans will turn ON.

The ‘system heat’ switch controls the boiler unit located beneath the Lazarette port hatch and circulation pump.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 36 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

Webasto fan-heater units provide heating in four comfort zones. In the evenings, and in cloudy weather during the summer, the outdoor temperature drops enough to require some interior heat.

After starting the furnace check the furnace exhaust on the exterior port side of the boat – aft cockpit area.

You will know the furnace is working if the exhaust is warm.

7.4.2

Cabin Electric Heating System

Four

King

cabin heaters provide zone-controlled heating. A thermostat controls each heater- marked “Electric”.

Either AC-shore power or AC-generator power must be available. The most convenient use is when docked in a marina.

WARNING – Do not to block a heating unit screen or place heat-sensitive objects nearby

The cabin heaters will maintain sufficient warmth in mild weather.

7.5 Washer-Dryer

The washer/dryer is located in the hallway between the staterooms. It is powered by 110 volts making it less powerful than a home dryer operating at 220 volts. Please use smaller loads for the machine to operate properly.

IMPORTANT: The washer uses much less soap than a home machine, approximately 1/3 the amount. A teaspoon is a good amount to use. Use liquid soap only!

Pour the soap, and softener if desired, and set the timer.

The dryer operates slowly so please be patient or finish drying on a clothes line. Remember, normal house dryers have a much larger drum than a washer. It is recommended by the manufacturer that you remove half the load after wash cycle and dry each half load separately. To optimize drying time, sort washed clothes by weight and estimated drying time and create multiple smaller loads for drying.

8 The Tender/Dinghy

Sea Daze is equipped with an 11-foot Zodiac RIB with a 25 HP Mercury outboard.

Please do not use it to go ashore unless there is a dock.

Most shorelines have rocks offshore that are nearly impossible to spot and can cause significant damage to the prop and hull. The outboard is a 4-stroke engine and uses regular gas (do not mix with 2 cycle oil). The dinghy is very fast and it can be easy to get thrown out at high speed. Use the “man overboard” tether and wear or take along one life jacket per person.

8.1 Davit

You need at least one other person and their COMPLETE ATTENTION. The control cable for the davit is located in the cabinet under the bar sink on the fly-bridge. It plugs in near the base of the davit. The davit arm must be raised to the upper position. If it is not do this by removing the large pin at the base of the davit and reinserting after raising the arm. It is supported by gas lift springs and should lift with minimal force.

8.1.1

To lower the dinghy

Do not allow anyone to ride in the dinghy while it is being lowered or raised.



Remove all lose items and extra weight from the dinghy before trying to hoist or lower.



Put in the stern plug into the dinghy.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 37 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner



Attach the 3-point harness and attach the lifting cable to the harness



Release the ties holding the dinghy to the mounting brackets.



Release the line that is tied to the front mounting bracket.



Put on a bowline and a stern line on the port side of the Dinghy to help guide the dinghy as it’s lowered.



Station a crewmember in the cockpit to guide the dinghy as it is lowered and to keep it from swinging and damaging the dinghy or Sea Daze.



Using the davit control cable, lift Dinghy about a foot above her mounts, push the davit arm so that it swings to port carrying Dinghy; swing the dinghy so that its bow faces aft of Sea Daze.



Hand the bow line down to the person in the cockpit. Using the bowline and the stern line to control the attitude of the dinghy, lower it slowly to the water.



When the dinghy is in the water and tied to Sea Daze remove the 3-point harness and raise the lifting cable and attach it to its ring on the flybridge.

8.1.2

To raise and return the dinghy

Do not allow anyone to ride in the dinghy while it is being lowered or raised.

Remove all lose items and any extra weight and water from the dinghy.

Attach the 3-point harness and attach the lifting cable to the harness.

Orient the dinghy, on the port side of Sea Daze bow facing aft. Attach a bowline and a port stern line to guide the dinghy. Raise the dinghy to a position about 1 foot higher than her chocks (this will be close to the maximum height of the davit). Pull the dinghy and the davit arm inboard and rotate the dinghy counter clockwise as it swings across the deck so that dinghy bow turns to point to Sea Dazes Bow. The dingy must be positioned directly over the chocks and in contact with the cockpit ladder rail. Slowly lower her to her resting points. Secure the dinghy to the deck with the bow strap and the two stern straps.

Remove the drain plug from the dinghy to allow the water to drain from the dinghy.

Detach the lifting cable from the 3-point harness and attach the lifting cable hook to its tie down ring on the port aft side of Sea Daze. To store the davit raise the arm to allow removal of the large pin. Lower the arm and re install the pin. Remove the davit control cable and replace it in the wet bar cabinet on the fly bridge.

The dinghy has a built in battery charger. If you have not run the engine long, or if you determine it may be useful to charge the battery for a while. To charge the battery find the extension cord in the wet bar cabinet, plug into the connector plug in the bench seat of the tender and plug into the outlet in the wet bar. Verify the power to the wet bar is turned on at the control panel. Do not leave the charger on for more than a few hours.

8.2 Operating the Dinghy

The key for the dinghy is located in the drawer by the starboard pilot house door. Verify you have plenty of fuel before loading passengers and gear. Tilt the outboard down if it has been raised. The tilt switch is on the shift control.

Verify that you have oars (under the driver seat), that you have dock lines, and an anchor.

Check that all passengers have a life jacket. Help all passengers aboard the dinghy and arrange/position passengers and gear so that the boat is balanced. It is best to be slightly heavy aft and level side to side.

Check to be sure the red insert is in place on the “man overboard” tether. Secure the tether to yourself so that it will pull the red insert out of the control and stop the engine should you fall out of the dinghy.

Sea Daze 160323.doc Page 38 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

To start the engine: Squeeze the black bulb, on the outboard engine until it feels firm and full of fuel. Lift the lever to the left of the throttle control. This is the choke. It will bring additional fuel into the engine to help during start. Pump the throttle a couple of times and with the choke lever elevated turn the key. You may have to try a few times if the engine is cold, or the dinghy has not been used for awhile. When the engine starts lower the choke lever to reduce the engine RPM, but not all the way or the engine may stop. Allow the engine to warm, about 5 minutes and then lower the choke lever all the way to idle. After releasing the lines from Sea

Daze advance the throttle slowly to get underway.

9 Bilge Pumps

Although you see only three circuit breakers on the DC switch panel for bilge pumps there are actually six bilge pumps. Three are wired directly to float switches that are directly wired to the Accessory Battery. These are designed as standby pumps, always guarding against the event that the boat might start taking on water when no one is aboard to notice and help out. The other pumps are energized by turning on the switches labeled “Aft”,

“Mid” and “Fwd” on the DC panel, then using the switches at either helm.

Sea Daze is equipped with numerous automatic bilge pumps that can be manually activated from either helm. If you continually hear the bilge pump running, check your bilge. You may have a serious problem or you may have just accidentally hit the manual bilge pump to ON. Lights indicate operation.

It is advised that you run the bilge pumps at the end of each day if you have seen any water in the bilge. The forward and midship pumps will generally not pump anything unless you’ve been showering without the sump switch on and the passageway carpet is soaked. The aft one will usually pump a while because it is in the engine room and the shaft seal bellows are design so that they leak slightly for cooling of the shaft seals. Watch out the port side while these pumps are running so that when the bilge runs dry you can turn them off. Letting them run dry may burn them out. Monitor how much comes out and check that it is not polluted. (If either becomes a concern, notify AYC)

10 Miscellaneous

Please help protect the flybridge seat cushions by covering them in inclement weather and at night. If the cushions get wet tilt them up until they dry then cover with their canvas. The foredeck seat cushion may be stored in the guest shower. Please bring it inside and store it when your cruise is finished.

Some cabinet doors are braced open with long springs (power control panel lid, pilot house chart cabinet and rode locker). Please remember to poke (bend) the side of the springs to close these doors. If you forget, the springs may rip out their screws and damage the cabinets.

Please be sure not to crab off the stern as the crab line can easily get tangled in the prop as you swing with wind or current. You don’t want to be the person who has to dive over and cut the line out of the propeller. It is best to use the dinghy to set your crab pot away from the boat (take care not to foul the dinghy prop also). Please clean up any seaweed or crab shells afterwards to keep the boat neat and tidy.

DO NOT WALK ON THE BLACK PLASTIC HATCHES on the foredeck. They are slippery and weak.

Instruct your crew.

Spare filters and drive belts are located in a blue box in the engine room in front of the starboard engine

Oil , transmission fluid and coolant is located in the port side lazarette or in the engine room.

Page 39 of 44 Last Revision August 11 th

, 2015 Sea Daze 160323.doc

Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner

A tool kit is located under the salon settee cushion and another larger orange tool box is kept in the engine room access area. The tool box in the engine room has a variety of small screws, and misc hardware that can be useful for simple repairs.

11 Clean up

Rinse salt off the boat ASAP. It eats into the fiberglass, metal and glass in a very short period of time.

Leave yourself plenty of time every trip to wash the boat. Try to return in time to clean it in the daylight. A wash hose is under the starboard lazarette in the cockpit, buckets are in there too along with cleaning supplies.

You can arrange for a cleaning service before you leave for your cruise and they will do the cleaning for you.

Try to get into the corners of things. If everyone tries to clean one extra area after each trip the positive momentum will be a marvel and we all will benefit.

To wash the boat its best to start on the bridge and get its canopy and outside plus the dinghy at the same time, then all the foredeck, each side deck and the aft deck with the transom---a total of 5 sections. While one person scrubs another can rinse and please rinse the salt off the sides of the hull. A soft brush works best for smooth fiberglass and a hard bristle brush for non-skid surface. Do not use abrasive on fiberglass.

Pay special attention to:

Removal of diesel soot from transom and from around the diesel furnace exhaust.

Removal of black streaks from hull.

Scuff marks removed from hull (usually made from brushing docks or from dragging hoses or cables on the top deck)

Windows cleaned with squeegee, water and a couple drops of liquid dish soap.
