Safety Standards

!

DANGER !

FALLING and ROTATING PROPELLER HAZARD!

NEVER allow anyone to ride on parts of the yacht NOT designed for

such use.

Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck, bow riding,

gunwale riding or occupying the transom platform while underway is especially hazardous and will cause personal injury or death.

!

DANGER !

ROTATING PROPELLER and CARBON MONOXIDE

POISONING HAZARD!

NEVER allow anyone to occupy, or hang from, the

back deck or swim platform while the engines are running.

Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet

of a moving watercraft can be fatal.

!

PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD!

ALWAYS secure the anchor and other loose objects before getting underway. The anchor and

other items that are not properly secured can come loose when the yacht is moving and cause personal injury or death.

• Your yacht’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it was built.

• Some of these standards were mandated by law, all of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of other people, vessels and property.

In addition to this Owner’s Manual, please read the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual Supplement and all accessory instructions for important safety standards and hazard information.

4

408 Motoryacht Owner’s Manual Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Qualified Maintenance

!

WARNI N G!

To maintain the integrity and safety of your yacht, allow only qualified personnel to perform maintenance on, or in any way modify the:

Steering System

Propulsion System

Engine Control System

Fuel System

Environmental Control System

Electrical System

Navigational System.

• Failure to maintain your yacht’s systems (listed in the warning above) as designed could violate the laws in your jurisdiction and could expose you and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death.

• Follow the instructions provided in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual Supplement, this Owner’s Manual, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory literature.

Special Care For Moored Yachts

NOTI CE

To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,

apply an epoxy barrier coating. The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.

Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental

standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the laws in effect in your area.

• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your yacht will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.

• This will detract from the yacht’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.

• There are two methods of slowing marine growth:

1.

Periodically haul the yacht out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap and water.

2.

Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.

408 Motoryacht Owner’s Manual

Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)

NOTI CE

Do NOT paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do NOT paint over

the zincs.

If the zincs are not bonded correctly, they will NOT provide protection.

Your yacht features sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration. Check the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deteriorated more than 70%.

There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zincs deteriorate, including:

• Water temperature

• Salinity

• Water pollution

• Stray electrical current from the yacht or dock may cause complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is rapid zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your yacht with a corrosion test meter.

Avoid serious injury or death by securing the lifting slings together before lifting.

!

WARNI N G!

PERSONAL INJURY and /or PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

NEVER lift the yacht using the cleats, or the bow and stern eyes.

!

WARNI N G!

PERSONAL INJURY and /or PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

Water in the bilge can shift and change the balance of the load.

If water is present in the bilge, pump or drain the water out of the bilge areas before lifting

your yacht.

!

CAUTI ON

PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

!

DANGER !

Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and

extremely dangerous.

All engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO

as exhaust.

Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to high

concentrations will cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.

Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving

watercraft can be fatal.

Facts about CO

• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.

• Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.

• CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your yacht.

• CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.

• CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.

• CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.

• Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.

• The effects are cumulative, even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.

Factors That Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning

• Age

• Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke

• Consumption of alcohol

• Lung disorders

• Heart problems

• Pregnancy

8

408 Motoryacht Owner’s Manual Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Where and How CO Can Accumulate

Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:

a. Using engine, generator, or other fuel burning device when yacht is moored in a confined space.

b. Mooring too close to another boat that is using its engine, generator, or other fuel burning device.

To correct stationary situations A and/or B:

Close all windows, portlights and hatches.

• If possible, move your yacht away from source of CO.

Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:

c. Running yacht with trim angle of bow too high.

d. Running yacht without through ventilation

(station wagon effect).

To correct running situations C and/or D:

• Trim bow down.

Open windows and canvas.

• When possible, run yacht so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.

How to Protect Yourself and Others From CO

• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your yacht (see above).

• Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the yacht at all times.

• Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.

Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or swim platform while the engines are running.

Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.

• Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the yacht, take

immediate action to dissipate these fumes.

• Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person into fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.

• Install and maintain CO alarms inside your yacht. Do NOT ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by the alarm manufacturer.

• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.

• Get a Vessel Safety Check.

For information on how to get a free VESSEL SAFETY CHECK, visit www.vesselsafetycheck.org or contact your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or United States Power Squadrons®.

408 Motoryacht Owner’s Manual

Trip Checklist

❏ Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.

❏ When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boats.

❏ Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your yacht.

❏ Confirm that water flows from the exhaust outlets when the engines and generator are started.

❏ Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an exhaust component failure.

❏ Test the operation of each CO alarm by pressing the test button.

Monthly Checklist

❏ Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.

❏ Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking, water leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.

❏ Inspect rubber exhaust hoses for burned, cracked, or deteriorated sections. All rubber hoses should be pliable and free of kinks.

Annual Checklist

Have a Qualified Marine Technician:

❏ Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.

❏ Ensure that your engines and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.

❏ Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling systems are in working condition.

❏ Inspect all metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water injection elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple between the manifold and the elbow.

❏ Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).

Carbon Monoxide Alarm System

!

DANGER !

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

The house battery switch must be in the On position for the CO Monitors

to work.

DANGER

If your yacht will be unattended for an extended period of time, turn Off the

house battery switch or the CO Monitors will drain the house battery.

Immediately turn the house battery switch back On when you reboard

your yacht.

NEVER disconnect the alarm system.

• Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did not receive an instruction manual, call (800) 383-0269 and one will be mailed to you.

• The 30-amp/110-volt shore power inlets provide 30-amp/110-volt power to each shore power master breaker.

• The 50-amp/220-volt shore power inlet provides 50-amp/110-volt power to both shore power master breakers.

Connecting To Shore Power

!

WARNI N G!

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.

If a reversed polarity light turns on when you are connecting to shore power, do NOT turn

on the main breaker switches.

Instead, IMMEDIATELY unplug the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside outlet

first) and alert marina management.

1.

Review all hazard information at the beginning of this section, Shore

Power.

2.

Turn Off all breakers and switches on the AC master panel.

3.

Attach the shore power cord(s) to the yacht inlet(s) first, then to the dockside outlet(s).

Shore Power Cable Hoist (If Equipped) (50-amp-220-Volt Only)

• The shore power cable hoist allows you to easily feed out and reel in the shore power cable.

Before using the shore power cable hoist, read the cable hoist manual.

Parallel Switch (If Equipped With Dual Shore Power)

NOTI CE

When using the Parallel Switch do NOT exceed 30 total amps.

The amperage of each component breaker is shown on the breaker itself.

The voltage on each line can be read by viewing the voltmeter on the Shore Power AC panel.

When only one dockside outlet is available, you can use the Parallel Switch to provide power to both lines.

1. Connect to shore power as described on the previous page.

2. Switch the Parallel Switch (transfers power from line 1 to line 2) On instead of the SHORE POWER 2 master breaker.

3. Turn On the individual component breakers as required.

Inverter Power (If Equipped)

• The inverter allows the batteries to supply AC power to some accessories when your yacht is not connected to shore power.

• Primary control is from the Inverter Remote Control Panel and redundant controls are on the inverter itself.

• Before using the inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the inverter, (2) the batteries, and

(3) all appropriate sections of the inverter manual.

• Energize the AC system under inverter power by switching ON the inverter master breaker and pressing the ON/

OFF switch on the inverter control panel.

• The inverter provides AC power only to the accessories on the AC panel.

DANGER !

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

Generators are a source of dangerous carbon monoxide gas (CO). Check the generator exhaust system for leaks before each use.

!

WARNI N G!

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD!

Use the bilge blowers for a minimum of four minutes before starting the generator.

Leave the blowers on while the generator is running.

Use of the blower system is NOT a guarantee that explosive fumes have been removed.

ALWAYS use the 'sniff test' to check the bilge areas for fuel vapors.

If you smell any fuel, do NOT start the generator.

If the generator is already running, IMMEDIATELY shut Off the generator and all

electrical accessories and investigate.

Do NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.

!

CAUTI ON

SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

Always make sure the generator’s seawater intake seacock is Open before starting the gener-

ator, and remains open during running of the generator.

NEVER use the generator starter for more than 30 seconds.

If the generator does NOT start, wait at least 30 seconds before another start attempt

is made.

After starting the generator, wait for the generator to stabilize before turning On component

breakers on the AC panel.

• When your yacht is not connected to shore power, the generator can supply 110V/60Hz power.

Before using the generator, read the generator operation manual for pre-start checks and break-in procedures.

Note the following about the generator:

• Polarity has been established in the installation of the generator, therefore the polarity lights will not function in this mode.

• Fuel to run the main generator is supplied from the starboard fuel tank.

• Periodically replace the filter on the generator to make sure it remains clean and free of debris.

• Diesel generators also have a fuel filter/water separator. Service instructions for the fuel filter/water separator are provided on the filter.

• The coolant mixture installed at the factory consists of equal parts of water and antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol).

• Check the generator’s seawater strainer for leaks and/or debris before each use.

• Gauges are provided on the generator control panel. These gauges monitor the engine functions of your generator.
