2 BOAT OPERATION Become familiar with the various systems outlined in this manual. Starlight Express has features designed for comfort, convenience, and safety. Proper use of these features will promote a safe and relaxed trip.

2.1 Important Points

Pre-Operation. Remember “WOBBS” each morning: Water Coolant, Oil, Bilge, Belts, and Sea Strainer. Any problem is easier to fix while moored and is more difficult while adrift.

Electrical. Monitor both AC and DC electrical systems diligently. Be aware of power use,

available power sources, and charging rates. Turn off non-essential electrical devices.

Cruising RPM. Sustained engine speed for cruising is 2300 RPM (about 80-percent power) for speed of about 16-knots (depending upon weight of fuel, water, and provisions). Cruising at 1200-1500 RPM can achieve 7-9 knots and will reduce fuel consumption per mile by about one-half. Avoid pro-longed engine RPM above 2300.

Minor Repairs. Lubricants, common spare parts, and tools are located in the engine

compartment and beneath the salon portside seat (see Appendices C and D).

Protection. Protect interior from damage – vinyl furnishing, headliners, mattresses, wallpaper, woodwork, countertops, carpet, and appliances. Wipe/wash spills on the gel-coat.

2.2 Engine Inspection

2.2.1 Forward Engine Compartment Turn ON lights in the engine compartments at the ENGINE ROOM LIGHT switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Raise the passageway staircase hatch to enter the forward engine compartment. .

Fuel Management Panel. Just forward of the hatch opening, note the position of the valve levers on the FUEL MANAGEMENT PANEL. Normally, all levers will be in vertical position. The generator may use either tank, but be sure ‘send’ and ‘receive’ tanks are same.

Primary Fuel Filters. Check the glass bowls of the PRIMARY FUEL FILTERS on the port

and starboard bulkheads for water or debris. Use a paper cup to catch the mixture. Rotate the thumb-wheel valve. Drain to remove water and debris. Recheck shortly after refueling.

Generator and Heater Filters. On the starboard bulkhead, check the glass bowl of the

GENERATOR FUEL FILTER for water or debris. Check the glass bowl of the HEATER FUEL FILTER for water or debris. Drain as necessary.

Hydraulic Shift Reservoir. On the starboard bulkhead, check the gauge on the

HYDRAULIC SHIFT RESERVOIR. Pressure should be about 80-85 PSI for best operation. A pump is located in Tools if pressure needs to be restored.

Water Tank Selection. On the port bulkhead, note the position of the WATER TANK SELECTOR valve – water is drawn from either the forward or aft water tanks located beneath the forward stateroom. If the FRESHWATER PUMP continues to run when the faucets are

Page 12: Starlight Express Operation Manual - Anacortes Yacht … Express 2013-0427.… · Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 1 of 96 Pages Last Print: 4/27/13 4:21 PM . OPERATION MANUAL

Starlight Express Operation Manual

off, the usual cause is an empty tank. Flip the selector valve to the other tank. The forward tank holds 110-gallons, the aft 40-gallons.

2.2.2 Main Engine Compartment From the Forward Engine Compartment, remove the bulkhead hatch to the main engine compartment and set it aside.

General Condition. Look for abnormal condition (loose connections, leaks, chaffing, etc). Note the general condition of HOSES, FUEL LINES, and AIR FILTERS.

Engine Coolant. Check the ENGINE COOLANT reservoirs – normal level is about ½ full.

Oil Level. With a paper towel or rag handy, remove the oil dipstick. A pair of etch marks on

each dipstick indicates minimum and maximum oil level. If it is necessary to add oil, raise the floorboards in the Salon to open the top of the engine compartment. Open the oil filler cap on piston #1 valve cover. Pour oil through a funnel. Recheck the dipstick. Wipe spills.

WARNING – DO NOT OVERFILL the engine oil. More is NOT better and may cause damage. Recheck oil level periodically. Report unusual oil consumption (or oil creation).

Transmission Fluid. Check the TRANSMISSION FLUID level in each transfer case. Raise

the dipstick on top of the transfer case housings. Replace tightly to prevent contamination.

Seacocks. Ensure the RAW WATER SEACOCK valves are in the ‘open’ position (lever in-line with valve). Check the glass container for debris. If necessary, close the seacock, loosen the thumbscrews on the cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble the cover.

WARNING – Open seacock after cleaning or the engine will overheat.

Bilge Pumps. Lift the center panel of the engine compartment floor. Activate the automatic

bilge pump manually by lifting on the float tab switch. If defective, take necessary steps to determine the cause and fix – this is the first line of defense in case of flooding.

2.2.3 Lazarette Open the center Lazarette hatch at the Cockpit.

Steering Fluid. On the transom, note the STEERING FLUID level in the container.

Trim Tab Fluid. On the transom, note the TRIM TAB FLUID level in the container.

Battery Fluid. After a week of use, check the BATTERY FLUID levels in the batteries. Ensure the water covers the metal plates. Top off with DISTILLED water.

WARNING – Use DISTILLED WATER only – bottled water is NOT distilled water and will destroy the batteries. Do NOT overfill – a cell is full when fluid just touches the vent slots inside the fill opening – there must be an air gap for bubbling gas to escape.

2.3 Engine Startup Use the following procedure for engine startup.

Starlight Express Operation Manual

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 13 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

Engine Switch. At the top of the DC Electrical Panel, turn ON the PORT and STARBOARD “Engine” switches.

Trim Tab Switch. At the DC Electrical Panel lower right, turn ON the TRIM TAB switch.

Gear Shifts. At the helm station, move the GEAR SHIFTS forward and backward to check

freedom of movement. Then, position shifts to the ‘neutral’ (vertical) position – the start-safety switch will NOT allow the starter to engage if shift lever is other than neutral position.

Throttles. Move the THROTTLES forward and backward to check freedom of movement.

Then, position throttles to the ‘idle’ position (aft position).

Ignition Key. Insert key into the IGNITION SWITCHES. Start one engine at a time as described below.

Pre-Heat. Turn key clockwise until the ENGINE ALARM sounds and ENGINE PRE-HEAT

LAMP (green) is ON. Wait for the pre-heat lamp to turn OFF (alarm pitch will rise also).

Start. Turn the key fully clockwise to engage the starter motor.

NOTE – If the starter motor does not engage, check Engine switch on the DC panel is ON. Then, recheck/re-adjust the neutral position of the gearshift.

Difficult Starting. It may be necessary to add a slight amount of throttle to start, especially

in cold weather. If engine cranks slowly or fails to turn over, check the condition of the engine battery on the DC ELECTRICAL PANEL. If the battery is low, press and hold the BATTERY PARALLEL switch on the Helm Panel to combine engine batteries. Attempt to restart engine.

Warm-up. Raise the engine speed slowly to at least 1000 RPM on the TACHOMETER. Warm the engine for about 2 minutes. NOTE – Raise engine speed to above 1000 RPM during warm-up. This turns off the engine pre-heater, and reduces the recharging load on the alternators considerably.

Gauges. The oil pressure should indicate at about 40 PSI within 10 seconds. Note readings

on VOLTMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, and FUEL GAUGE.

WARNING – If oil pressure is low, shutdown the engine, inspect the engine compartment and find possible cause (for example, a loose and leaking oil filter.)

Exhaust Water. Go to cockpit and ensure the ensure cooling water is flowing through the

ENGINE EXHAUSTS at corner.

WARNING – If engine overheats or there is no cooling water in the exhaust, stop the engine. Check the seacock position. Check the water strainer for debris. Check for a broken engine belt, which turns the water pump. Restart the engine, and re-check water flow at the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER PUMP may need service. Seek assistance.

Repeat the procedure above for the other engine.

2.4 Engine Operation Monitor engine operation while underway.

Starlight Express Operation Manual

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 14 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

Oil Pressure. Check oil gauges frequently. Oil pressure should remain above 40 PSI.

NOTE – The oil pressure gauge may flicker – this usually indicates the oil pressure switch may need servicing. The engine may be operated safely if the pressure gauge flickers and the low oil pressure warning alarm is silent.

Coolant Temperature. Coolant temperature should remain 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

WARNING – If an engine overheats or the alarm sounds, stop the engine. Do an engine inspection to determine cause.

General Performance. Look and listen for changes in engine performance, sound, and loss of RPM, or appearance that may indicate need for service. An EAR PROTECTOR is in the engine forward compartment for visual inspections while underway.

2.5 Engine Shutdown Use the following procedure for engine shutdown.

Cooling. Allow time for gradual and uniform cool-down of engines. The time engaged in docking the boat is usually sufficient.

Throttles. Move each THROTTLE to the idle position.

Ignition Key. Turn each ignition key to OFF position.

Engine Switch. At the DC Electrical Panel, turn OFF the PORT and STARBOARD “Engine”

switches.

Electronics. Check instrument switches on the Bridge and Pilothouse and turn off DC electrical devices or electronics. Also, turn off switches at the DC Electrical Panel.

2.6 Getting Underway

2.6.1 Shore Power The SHORE POWER INLETS are located on the starboard side near the pilothouse. Power cords are stowed in beneath the starboard Lazarette hatch.

Shore Power. Go to the shore station and turn the Shore Power switch OFF. Then, disconnect the cord from the shore receptacle.

CAUTION – To avoid electrical shock by accidentally dropping a ‘hot’ cord into the water, disconnect the shore-side plug first before handling the cord.

Boat Inlet. Disconnect the cord from the boat inlet and replace/tighten the inlet cover.

WARNING – If the boat inlet is hot and has burnt prongs or connector damage, discontinue use and take steps to service. Use other cords if available. A spare 30A boat inlet and a spare 30A cord connectors are in the ‘Electrical Cord Box’.

. Cord Stowage. Stow POWER CORDS beneath the starboard Lazarette hatch. Extra 30-

amp extensions cords, as well as a 50-amp cord and adapters, are stowed there also.

Adapters. Two CORD ADAPTERS (20-amp and 15-amp) are stowed inside the

PILOTHOUSE AC ELECTRICAL cabinet. Use these to adapt the 30-amp power cord to 20-amp or 15-amp shore power receptacles.

To reconnect shore power, reverse the procedure above, first plugging cord to the boat inlet, then to the shore station.

2.6.2 Inside Stowage Prepare the boat interior for cruising and rough sea conditions.

Portholes. Close and lock the 2 Aft Stateroom PORTHOLES, 2 Mid Stateroom PORTHOLES, 2 Fwd Head PORTHOLES, and the 4 Forward Stateroom PORTHOLES.

Fore Deck Hatches. Close and lock the 2 deck HATCHES above the Forward Stateroom.

NOTE – If water soaks a bunk, remove the cover and mattress and take steps to dry thoroughly, else mold and mildew may develop.

Windows. Adjust or close Salon and Pilothouse windows.

Glassware. Check Galley, Salon, Stateroom, Heads, and Bridge for items that will topple or

spill while underway (drink glasses, cups, wine glasses, bowls, tall bottles, dishes, etc).

Galley. Stow dishware, glasses, pots and pans in their respective cabinets and drawers. Push in all LATCH buttons. Cabinet items may spill out in rough seas.

Loose Items. Secure cell phones, iPods, laptops, and other items left on counters. Ensure

heavy items are secure. Put clothing inside CABINETS and DRAWERS and push-in the LATCH buttons.

Doors. Close or latch Stateroom and Head DOORS to prevent swinging. Close the Bridge HATCH door or secure the open-door tie strap to prevent slamming shut as the boat rolls.

2.6.3 Bimini Cover The BIMINI may be deployed or stowed. To stow, release the canvas snaps from the mast. Fold the frame forward and secure the straps and frame in standing position. Wrap the BIMINI BOOT CANVAS around the Bimini – the boot is normally stowed beneath the bridge seat portside.

2.7 Cruising Operate the vessel from helm that provides visibility for the course, speed, weather, and sea conditions. Normally, close-quarter maneuvering is best from the bridge helm.

Line Handling. Brief crewmembers on the departure plan. Assign duties for SPRING LINES, DOCK LINES, or assisting others.

Limited Visibility. Turn ON the NAVIGATION LIGHTS at the DC Panel and helm switches.

Trim Tabs. Ensure the TRIM TAB switch is ON at the DC Electrical Panel. For close quarter

maneuvering, press both TRIM TAB switches to ‘Bow-Up’ position to retract the trim vanes. This helps boat to move freely when backing.

Bow Thruster Control. Push the two ON buttons at the BOW THRUSTER control to

activate the joystick. Move bow as necessary.

Throttles and Gear Shifts. Ensure the THROTTLES are ‘idle’ or very low speed before engaging the GEAR SHIFTS to avoid stress on transmission.

Fenders and Lines. After clearing traffic, crewmembers may stow FENDERS and lines.

Cruising Trim. Before high-speed cruising, press both TRIM TAB switches to ‘Bow-Down’

position (extends trim vanes downward). The raises the aft as it accelerates.

Acceleration. Move THROTTLES smoothly, allowing the engines to power up. Equalize engine speeds on the ENGINE SYNCHRONIZER at the center of the helm panel.

Cruise RPM. Normally, ENGINE SPEED for cruising is 2300 RPM (80% of rated engine power). This should achieve a satisfactory plane, depending upon trim configuration, weight, and sea condition. Choose a lower rpm for less fuel consumption rate. Cruising 1200-1500 RPM will reduce fuel consumption rate by about one-half. Avoid engine speeds above 2300 RPM; but, vary the speed for short durations.

Trim Adjustment. Perform trim adjustments carefully. In ‘following-sea’ conditions or swells,

favor a ‘bow-up’ trim position to avoid plowing into waves. .

2.9 Fuel

2.9.1 Refueling Boat Each fuel tank holds 222 gallons for total 444 gallons. Turn the ignition keys ON to read the Pilothouse fuel gauges.

Estimate Fill. Estimate the number of gallons to add to each tank based on the fuel gauge reading. For example, if gauge shows ¾ full, anticipate 55-gallons; if ½ full, 110-gallons.

NOTE – It is good practice to refuel before the tanks reach ¾ empty. The best reason is to avoid the anxiety of searching for fuel.

Starlight Express Operation Manual

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 18 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

Fuel Fill Cap. The FUEL FILL CAP for each tank is located on the deck, aft of the pilothouse doors. Fuel vents are located opening. Remove FILL CAP with the CAP REMOVAL TOOL.

Oil Sorbs. Have oil sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel. The may be provided at fuel dock;

some spares may be in forward engine room also.

Diesel Hose. At the pump, ensure the attendant provides the correct fuel hose – ask DIESEL; repeat DIESEL. Ensure the nozzle is placed into the ‘DIESEL’ deck fill opening (and not the sewage holding tank). Recheck everything to avoid a catastrophe.

NOTE – On some fuel docks, the hose length is insufficient to reach the opposite side fill cap unless the hose is passed through the pilothouse doors. Please take steps to protect the carpet and interior. Reposition rugs, mats, and oil sorbs beneath the hose path. Wrap a sorb around the nozzle to catch drips. Wipe down hose with sorbs or towels to grease and dirt.

Pump Control. If necessary, position a crewmember to call out the number of gallons/liters

on pump. Place nozzle into the tank opening. Pump slowly and evenly. Note sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast will interfere with escaping air and spew fuel. As tank fills, the gurgle will rise in pitch. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside below opening. Spurting indicates tank is nearly full. Recheck (or have someone check) the fuel gauge. Be prepared to catch spilled fuel from the overflow vent. Top off carefully.

Fuel Filler Cap. Replace each tank fill cap and DO NOT over-tighten. Clean spills with oil sorbs for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly.

2.9.2 Refueling Dinghy

Estimate Fill. Estimate amount based on the fuel gauge reading.

The fuel tank holds 10-gallons. Turn ignition key ON to read the console fuel gauge. Make dinghy level on water to allow air to escape from tank vent - persons may need to sit on bow.

NOTE -- Fuel cannot be filled properly when dinghy is on bridge deck, due to high bow angle. If tank is overfilled before securing dinghy on bridge, some fuel may escape from fuel fill cap.

Fuel Fill Cap. The FUEL FILL CAP is located on port aft. Press latch and lift cover.

Pumping. Pace the nozzle into the tank opening. Pump slowly and evenly. Pumping too

fast may interfere with escaping air and result in spewing. There is little need to top off.

Fuel-Water Separator. Drain the fuel-water separator bowl located under dinghy seat starboard. Turn knob counter-clockwise (looking up from bottom). Stem will rotate inward (up direction). Catch fuel in plastic container. Re-tighten. To refill bowl -- remove hose from engine. While pushing ball In at hose end, squeeze hose pump (some gas will be ejected).

2.9.3 Fuel Management The FUEL MANAGEMENT PANEL is located beneath the hatch opening in the front engine compartment. Fuel is directed/returned from/to either tank to the engines and generator using the supply valves. Recheck the position of the valve levers when entering or exiting the engine compartment to ensure they are set properly. NOTE – Normally, all levers are in vertical ON position, returning fuel to same supply tank.

3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Power Distribution. The boat electrical system is organized into TWO power distribution systems:

• DC (Direct Current) – 12V boat systems, lights, and electronics. • AC (Alternating Current) – 120V appliances, similar to household use

DC System Sources. The DC power distribution system has six sources:

• House Battery Bank #1 – supports main boat systems, lights, and electronics • House Battery Bank #2 – supports AC inverter, as well as DC devices. • Starboard Engine Battery – Starboard Engine starting • Port Engine Battery – Port Engine starting • Generator Battery – Diesel Generator starting • Thruster Battery (24V) – Bow Thruster operation

AC System Sources. The AC power distribution system has three sources:

• Shore power – supports all AC devices • Diesel generator – supports all AC devices • AC/DC Inverter – supports ‘specific’ AC devices (see section ‘Inverter Power’)

The boat’s electrical distribution is controlled at the Pilothouse AC and DC ELECTRIC PANELS, the BATTERY SWITCH PANEL in the Salon aft port cabinet, and the Thruster BATTERY switch in the Forward Stateroom. When AC Shore Power or the Generator is not used, the DC batteries provide 12-volt DC power and ‘inverted’ 120-volt AC power to selected devices. Batteries have limited capacity. Monitor the use of DC system carefully. Turn OFF unnecessary electrical devices and conserve battery power. Connect to shore power or generator to restore battery capacity through DC charging devices. AC and DC Panel breakers are labeled for all devices and circuits.

3.1 DC System

3.1.1 Battery Banks and Switches The BATTERY BANKS supply power for DC lights, electronics, engine starting, generator starting, and bow thruster. There are six battery banks:

Battery or Battery Bank Battery Type Full Charge Capacity Port Engine Battery SeaVolt Group 8D (12V wet cell)(1800-MCA) 255-AH Starboard Engine Battery SeaVolt Group 8D (12V wet cell)(1800-MCA) 255-AH House Battery Bank #1 systems Trojan T105 (4x6V 2-Pr, Deep-Cycle) 450-AH House Battery Bank #2 inverter Dyno GC2B (4x6V 2-Pr, Deep-Cycle)(600-CCA) 490-AH Generator Battery SeaVolt Group 24 (12V wet cell)(650-CCA) 65-AH Thruster Battery Bank (24V) Optima AGM (2x12V 1-Pr, Deep-Cycle) 130-AH

Starlight Express Operation Manual

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 20 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

Battery capacity is measured in ampere per hour (AH or amp-hr). A DC device rated 10-amps and turned-on 10-hours would consume 100-AH (#amperes multiplied by #hours equals AH). Note – Each DC light bulb in salon, galley, or stateroom is about 0.8-amp. Count number of bulbs ON and multiply to estimate consumption (or see AH rate in the DC ammeter). Use DC lights wisely. BATTERY SWITCHES are located in the BATTERY PANEL in the aft portside cabinet in the Salon. For the bow thruster, the switch is located on starboard side of bunk in the forward stateroom. Diagram of the DC system is shown below:

If cruising for more than a week, remove battery fill caps and inspect the battery electrolyte fluid level. If the metal plates are exposed, add distilled water to cover. DO NOT overfill. Distilled water is normally stowed in the compartment beneath the port Lazarette hatch cover. WARNING – Do NOT use bottled water – it is NOT distilled water, and it will destroy a battery. Do NOT overfill – a cell is full when the battery fluid just touches the vent collar inside the fill opening – there must be an air gap in the collar for bubbling gas to escape.

3.1.2 Panel Digital Multi-meter The BATTERY MULTI-METER is located on the DC panel. Rotate the battery switch between port, starboard, house 1, house 2, generator, and thruster. The left and right buttons on the meter will toggle the meter between voltage display and current display.

Page 21: Starlight Express Operation Manual - Anacortes Yacht … Express 2013-0427.… · Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 1 of 96 Pages Last Print: 4/27/13 4:21 PM . OPERATION MANUAL

Current (ampere) readings are for HOUSE 1 and HOUSE 2 battery banks only. A ‘negative’ current value indicates discharging – a ‘positive’ value indicates charging. This is useful for monitoring power consumption of DC devices and for conserving battery power.

3.1.3 Battery Charge Condition Battery charge activity can be checked through the panel digital multi-meter. While a battery bank is charging, the voltage may read from 13.1 to 14.4 volts depending on the battery state-of-charge. When a battery bank is ‘at-rest’ (not charging), the voltage provides a rough indication of the state-of-charge and amp-hour capacity remaining in the battery bank. (See AH capacity at paragraph 3.1.1).

Battery Meter Voltage Battery State-of-Charge

12.65 volts 100% 12.47 volts 75% 12.25 volts 50% 11.95 volts 25% 11.70 volts 0%

3.1.4 Battery Charging and Combining

3.1.4.1 Engine Alternators. The ENGINE ALTERNATORS provide DC power to boat functions while underway (engine pre-heat, navigation, lighting, sanitation). Only excess capacity is being applied to charging batteries -- the time to reach full battery capacity using alternators only will be long. Engine speed above 1000 RPM will activate alternator charging; see meter movement at helm panel. To compensate for higher current demand (e.g engine pre-heaters in cold weather), raise engine speeds above 1000 RPM to raise alternator output. Alternator DC Power Output (approximate)

Engine Speed Stb Engine Alternator Port Engine Alternator 600 rpm 0-amps 0-amps 1200 rpm ____-amps ____-amps 2000 rpm 145-amps 105-amps

3.1.4.2 House Battery Charger The BATTERY CHARGER (Promariner Model Promatic 50-3) provides charging to Port engine, Starboard engine, House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems and Bank #2 (inverter) (through the Battery Charging Relay) by Shore or Generator Power sources. Continuous charge output is approximately 50-Amps DC. Turn ON the BATTERY CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel. The battery charger unit is located in the engine compartment portside.

3.1.4.3 Inverter Battery Charger The INVERTER CHARGER (Outback Model VFX-2812M) provides charging to House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) and the House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) through the Battery Charging Relay when connected (see below).

Page 22: Starlight Express Operation Manual - Anacortes Yacht … Express 2013-0427.… · Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 1 of 96 Pages Last Print: 4/27/13 4:21 PM . OPERATION MANUAL

Starlight Express Operation Manual

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 22 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

Continuous charge output is approximate 120-Amps DC. Ensure both the INVERTER AC SUPPLY switch and the INVERTER/CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel are ON for charging when connected to Shore Power or Generator Power. These switches are normally ON. Turn OFF for maintenance. The Inverter is located beneath the Salon starboard aft corner seat.

3.1.5 House Batteries Automatic Charging Relay An AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) connects House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) and House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) during charging. When no charging source is present, the relay disconnects (opens) to isolate banks. For example if House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) is discharging heavily, the ACR will disconnect to isolate House Battery Bank #1. Three LED indicators show the following:

• GREEN – Bank #1 and Bank #2 connected. If charge voltage to a bank is high, the LED will turn ON and connect the other bank in about 1 minute for charging.

• AMBER – Either bank is being discharged. When the LED turns ON, the battery banks will disconnect in about 1 minute.

• RED – Over-voltage (above 15-volts). The RED LED will turn ON, and the relay will disconnect battery banks.

NOTE – The ACR is bypassed when the adjacent House Batteries Switch is in Battery ‘Combine’ position. (See section House Batteries Switch)

3.1.6 House Batteries Switch The switch is located forward of the generator next to the house battery-automatic charging relay ACR. When in ON position, the HOUSE BATTERIES SWITCH connects the House Battery Bank #1 to boat systems components and the House Battery Bank #2 to DC inverter components. When in the OFF position, both battery banks are disconnected from DC system. In exceptional cases, both House Battery Banks can be combined (for example, to carry an ailing battery bank or a failing charger). Turn the switch to the COMBINE position. CAUTION – If one bank is severely discharged, a large current transfer will occur across the switch.

3.1.7 Port Engine–House Battery #2 ACR To supplement charging while underway, an AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) can connect the House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) to the Port Engine alternator (via the port engine battery) When port engine is not operating, the relay disconnects to isolate the Port Engine Battery and House Battery Bank #2. Also, the port alternator is disconnected during engine cranking (‘start isolation’) to avoid voltage spikes into the House DC system. NOTE – The Battery Switch next to ACR controls the circuit – it is ON normally. Turn OFF when maintaining either the port battery of the house battery banks.

3.1.8 Engine Batteries Parallel Switch An ENGINE BATTERIES PARALLEL switch is provided at the pilothouse helm. It will combine STARBOARD ENGINE BATTERY and PORT ENGINE BATTERY in situation where an engine battery is too weak to start its engine.

3.1.9 Thruster Charger & Battery Switch The THRUSTER BATTERY CHARGER (Xantrex Model XC 1524) provides charging to the Bow Thruster Battery Bank – batteries are connected to provide a 24-volt storage system. Turn ON the BT BATTERY CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel. The battery charger is located beneath the forward stateroom bunk, starboard side. NOTE – The thruster battery charger is a dedicated 24-volt device connected to AC shore power or AC generator. It is NOT connected to the inverter-charger or the engine alternators, so it will not charge with the 12-volt DC charging systems. The THRUSTER BATTERY SWITCH is located on the starboard side of the forward stateroom bunk. Normally the switch is ON for bow thruster operation. Turn switch OFF to disconnect the battery during emergency or for maintenance.

3.1.10 Circuit Breakers and Fuses The MASTER CIRCUIT BREAKERS for DC Accessory, Windlass, and Davit are located on the BATTERY PANEL in the Salon aft port cabinet. All DC device circuit breakers are located on Pilothouse DC panel. Accessory fuse blocks for electronics, such as VHF radio, are located beneath the helm stations. Some electronic equipment has secondary fuse protection located near the unit.

3.1.11 12-Volt DC Outlets 12-VOLT OUTLETS are located as follows:

Outlets Location Panel Switch Name Position

1 Pilothouse port side instrument panel DC Electronics Switch ON 2 Pilothouse starboard side navigation station DC Electronics Switch ON 2 Above stereo system starboard side DC Galley Switch ON 2 Forward Stateroom port side cabinet DC Stereo Switch ON 1 Hygronic heater, starboard lazarette hatch AUX DC Lazarette Switch N/A

3.2 AC System

3.2.1 AC Sources There are three sources for AC 120-volt power

AC Source Source Location Service Capacity Shore Power 3x Inlets on Pilothouse Stb Side. Select breaker position on

AC electrical panel. Normally, Line 1 is sufficient for most needs

LINE 1 = 30-A LINE 2 = 30-A LINE 3 = 50-A

Generator Select breaker position on AC electrical panel 50-A Inverter Automatic when Shore Power or Generator are not connected 30-A

NOTE -- Shore Power and Generator are independent – these systems cannot be joined to provide power simultaneously (breaker lockout). The Inverter will provide power automatically to selected AC devices when Shore Power or Generator are NOT providing 120-V service – see section Inverter Power for more information. The total power consumption of AC components should not exceed the capacity of the shore power service. For example, if shore power is 30-amps and the consumption of appliance, motors, and lights is greater than 30-amps, the Line 1 AC circuit breaker will trip OFF. NOTE -- Monitor use of AC devices to remain within the capacity of shore power.

3.2.2 Shore Power

3.2.2.1 Service Connection Most marinas offer 30-amp (30A) service. Plug the 30A cord between the boat inlet and shore receptacle. Shore POWER CORDS and extensions are found under the Lazarette starboard hatch. If the marina has 15-amp (15A), 20-amp (20A), or 50-amp (50A) service, connect the cord adapters to the shore power receptacle then to the cord. Possible combinations are shown in chart below.

Shore Source Adapter Type Location Cord Line1 Line2 Line3 15A-125V 15A-125V to 30A-125V Pilothouse 30A Yes Yes N/A 20A-125V 20A-125V to 30A-125V Pilothouse 30A Yes Yes N/A 30A-125V None Needed 30A Yes Yes N/A

50A-125/250V 50A-125/250V to 30A-125V Lazarette 30A Yes Yes N/A 50A-125V None Needed 50A N/A N/A Yes

50A-125/250V 50A-125/250V to 50A-125V Lazarette 50A N/A N/A Yes Shore power INLETS are located on Pilothouse starboard. Normally, use LINE 1 for dockside service and set the AC Panel for Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 in “parallel” mode (see service options below). Before connecting, turn OFF the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker on the AC master panel. First, connect the shore power cord to the boat inlet. Allow slack. For safely, turn OFF the shore power receptacle circuit breaker. Then connect the cord to the receptacle. Finally, turn ON the shore power receptacle.

Starlight Express 2013-0427.doc Page 25 of 96 Pages Last print: 4/27/2013 4:21:00 PM

CAUTION – Attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first, then to dockside service last, to avoid risk of shock or injury if a “hot” cord is dropped into the water accidently. Move power cord off pathways and protect from foot traffic. Coil excess. Hang cord out of the water. Turn ON the DOCKSIDE MASTER switch on the panel. The VOLTMETER will read 110 to 120-volts. WARNING – Check the electrical panel polarity indicator. A “red” light indicates reverse polarity and is dangerous – DO NOT engage the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker switch. Immediately turn OFF the shore power source, disconnect cord, and notify dock or marina management. Turn ON individual AC component breakers, as required. If the dockside power capacity is exceeded, the breaker will trip. Turn off excess AC devices before resetting the breaker.

3.2.2.2 Service Line Options Normally, LINE 2 and LINE 3 on the Pilothouse AC Panel are operating in “parallel’ mode with LINE 1. “Parallel mode” is setup when LINE 2 selector switch points to ‘Line 1-2’ and LINE 3 Selector switch points to ‘Line 1-3”. The MASTER breakers for Lines 2 and 3 are disabled. In “parallel” mode, total current being used is the sum of the three AMMETER readings. If the total current exceeds the capacity of shore power service, the LINE1 DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker will trip OFF. Turn off AC components to remain within the service capacity If more shore power service is desired and available, LINE 2 and/or LINE 3 can be switched to “normal” mode to deliver power to their respective AC circuits. In “normal” mode, the current is read on each line’s AMMETER. NOTE – The most common usage, and the easiest method, is “parallel” mode.

3.2.3 Generator Operation The Westerbeke diesel GENERATOR is located beneath the Lazarette center hatch. Before operating, ensure the generator SEACOCK is OPEN and the strainer is clear of debris. Check the oil level dipstick if operating over long periods. Check coolant level inside the portside cockpit locker.

The GENERATOR CONTROL is located on the Pilothouse AC panel. To start the generator, rotate the GENERATOR CONTROL to RUN position. Press and hold the PRE-HEAT/OVERRIDE switch for about 10-seconds to pre-heat the generator. Then, while continuing to press the pre-heat switch, rotate the CONTROL knob to the START position, releasing the control knob to RUN position after the generator starts. About 5-seconds, release the PRE-HEAT switch. 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. 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) NOTE – The throttle/cut-off solenoid is known to stick and not seat itself fully, preventing starting. To check solenoid operation, open the generator enclosure and locate the solenoid at the front starboard side of generator. Keep clothing and body parts clear of generator. While an assistant pushes the PRE-HEAT switch at pilothouse panel, observe movement of the solenoid arm. If the arm did not seat properly into the solenoid body, nudge the solenoid arm until it seats and the engine starts.

To set up AC panel for generator, turn OFF the Line 1 AC MASTER switch. Slide the breaker lockout protector to uncover GENERATOR AC MASTER switch. Turn ON the Line 1 AC MASTER switch. Turn ON the GENERATOR breaker switch. The green light will indicate power is available. Observe reading of 110 to 120 volts on the AC voltage meter. NOTE -- If power is not indicated, recheck the GENERATOR AC Switch. If okay, then check the generator circuit breaker. Remove the top panel open; check position of switch is UP (ON) (double toggle white color) -- the switch may have been tripped OFF during routine generator maintenance. Turn ON AC component breakers as required. Monitor the Generator oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage gauges on the AC panel. The generator will shut-down automatically if oil pressure and temperature are unsatisfactory. Fuel is supplied from either port or starboard fuel tanks. The Fuel Management Board valves levers indicate source selection (normally vertical position). The levers should be matched so ‘return fuel’ is routed back to the source tank. Otherwise, fuel would be transferred from one tank to the other and may overfill a tank and spill overboard through the tank vent. The GENERATOR BATTERY cutoff switch is located in the aft cabinet port side of the Salon. When generator is turned OFF, a ‘squeal’ will be heard from the cockpit portside. This is normal - the sound is from the exhaust seawater siphon and indicates the cooling system is working properly.

3.2.4 Inverter Power The INVERTER provides AC power when Shore Power or Generator is not connected. Three switches on the AC and DC panels control inverter operation.

4 SANITATION SYSTEM Use ONLY MARINE TISSUE in the toilets – this is very important. Pipes, valves, and pumps may clog. An inoperable toilet is an inconvenience to everyone, as well as a nasty, costly repair. Train crew and children to use the toilet. Monitor use to ensure no foreign objects (non-waste items) are thrown into the toilet. Whenever the HOLDING TANK (TankWatch) Light on the Pilothouse DC Panel is RED, take steps to dispose sewage in the holding tank.

4.1 Marine Toilet Turn ON the two TOILET switches and the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC panel. Each MARINE TOILET (VacuFlush) is emptied by pressing the foot switch. Lifting the foot switch will add water to the bowl. CAUTION – ‘Never ever’ put tampons, sanitary napkins, Kleenex, paper towels, household toilet paper, or food scraps into the toilet. Use ONLY marine tissue paper -- it dissolves. If remediation efforts fail to restore operation, the toilet system will need service - that means, opening pipes and tank (a nasty task). The frequent cause is disregard of the ‘Never Ever’ rule. 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 opening. Turn ON the switches and flush a couple times. If the bowl fails to fill with water after flushing, check the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC Panel and the fill status of the water tank – the tank may be empty. If the toilet pump turns ON after the toilet has not been used for some time, check water in the bowl. If there is no water, the usual cause is poor seal of the ball valve after the last flush, resulting in air leak. Listen for hissing air. Press the foot switch to open ball valve. Clear toilet paper, hair, or small debris trapped between the ball and the seal. NOTE – A spare toilet pump-motor and bellows kit is stowed forward of the starboard engine.

4.2 Sanitation Holding Tank The SANITATION HOLDING TANK capacity is 48 gallons. Note the sewage production rate of the crew – this is about 1 gallon per toilet flush. Take steps to dispose sewage from holding tank. An overfilled tank may break a hose, clog the tank vent, or burst a seal. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and costly repair.

4.2.1 Sanitation Tank Warning The HOLDING TANK MONITOR is located on the Pilothouse DC panel. Turn ON the HOLDING TANK MONITOR switch on the DC Panel. A ‘red’ warning light ON indicates the tank is full. Take steps to empty the tank (see below). NOTE -- Do not rely completely on the ‘red’ warning light – if in doubt; check the holding tank fluid level in the engine compartment starboard side with a flashlight.

4.2.2 Marine Pump out Stations Marine Pump-out Stations are located at many fuel docks or special sanitation barges. Use each refueling stop as an opportunity to empty the holding tank. Follow instructions on the pump station. In larger marinas, mobile pump-out services can come to the boat. Remove the WASTE CAP located on starboard side. CAUTION -- Check deck fitting to ensure it is “WASTE” -- not the DIESEL FILL CAP. Most stations will have a rubber adapter to seal the opening. Insert the adaptor; connect the hose. Turn ON the machine, then OPEN the lever on the pump handle. CLOSE lever when finished. If water is available, re-fill the sanitation tank partially, and repeat pump out. This reduces odors. Replace the WASTE CAP.

4.2.3 Overboard Discharge CAUTION – Be familiar with the laws concerning discharging sewage overboard. To discharge, turn ON the HOLDING TANK DISCHARGE switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Depress both MACERATOR ROCKER SWITCHES together on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Listen to the discharge sound (starboard midship outlet). Gurgling indicates the tank is empty. The tank empties within a couple minutes. Do not run macerator longer than necessary. NOTE – A spare macerator pump is stowed forward of the starboard engine.

5 WATER SYSTEMS

5.1 Fresh Water Two fresh water tanks (forward 110-gal, aft 40-gal) deliver water to faucets, showers, and toilets.

5.1.1 Fresh Water Pressure The FRESH WATER PUMP is located in the forward engine room compartment and maintains water pressure automatically. Turn ON the WATER PRESSURE switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. If the FRESH WATER PUMP runs after all faucets are closed, check the tank monitor on DC panel to determine whether the source tank is empty (see switching tanks below) NOTE – A spare water pump is stowed forward of starboard engine. Turn OFF power at DC Panel. Disconnect wires, mounts, and connectors. Wire connectors are rigged to plug together properly.

5.1.2 Fresh Water Tanks. Press the WATER TANK rocker switch on the DC Electrical Panel to inspect the level of each tank. When a tank is empty, the FRESH WATER PUMP runs continuously. There are 2 tanks The TANK SELECTOR VALVE is located in the Forward Engine room portside. Rotate the lever to a full tank. To refill the tanks, open the WATER FILL CAPS on the Foredeck. Run stale or rusty water from hose before placing nozzle into the tank opening. Avoid flushing deck debris into the tank opening. NOTE – Use forward tank first. The aft tank is small; consider it the reserve. Replenish when forward tank empties. The aft tank is difficult to refill due to poor venting. Fill slowly. Allow air to escape.

5.1.3 Fresh Water Dockside Inlet A FRESH WATER INLET for shore-based water is found on the hull transom. Turn OFF the fresh water pressure pump when used. Turn OFF the shore faucet when not used.

5.1.4 Water Heater WATER HEATER (Seaward S-1800) capacity is 20-gallons. Heated water is produced by:

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

5.1.5 Cockpit Fresh Water Shower A FRESH WATER SHOWER is located in the Cockpit. The outdoor shower provides hot and cold water. Use to wash mud from equipment, shoes, and clothing. Ensure the faucet valves are turned OFF or water will pour into the engine compartment.

5.1.6 Fresh Water Washdown Hose A FRESH WATER WASHDOWN hose is located in the Cockpit starboard cabinet. Ensure the hose nozzle and faucet are OFF when not used.

5.2 Gray Water

5.2.1 Sinks Wastewater (also known as ‘gray’ water) from the galley and salon sinks is gravity-drained overboard.

5.2.2 Showers The SUMP PUMP collects wastewater from the Forward Head shower and both Aft and Forward Head sinks and pumps it overboard. The Sump Pump Box is located in the Passageway starboard beneath the forward shower. The pump will cycle on/off automatically. NOTE – If pump stays on, debris may have interfered with the sensor switch. Open the lid, lift out the cylinder-shaped strainer. Wipe scum from switch and the inside. Replace the strainer. CAUTION – If the SUMP PUMP fails, wastewater will overflow into the passageway and wet the carpet. Check the TUB-SINK breaker button on the Pilothouse DC Panel. If breaker is okay and pump fails, the pump may need replacement (see Spare Parts list). A separate pump in the Aft Head Shower pumps overboard. Turn ON the SHOWER SUMP switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Turn ON the SHOWER switch in the Aft Head cabinet to drain the shower.

5.3 Raw Water ‘Raw water’ depends on the body of water the boat is floating – freshwater or saltwater. RAW WATER WASHDOWNS are available at 2 locations. Location Spigot Location Bow Inside Foredeck Locker Cockpit Inside Cockpit Portside Cabinet

Turn ON the WASHDOWN switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel. When not in use, turn OFF the switch to remove load on the pressure pump.

5.4 Bilge Water Three automatic and three manual bilge pumps, in pairs, are in main engine room (AFT), forward engine room (MID), and passageway (FORWARD). Turn ON manual BILGE pumps at DC Electrical panel and operate from pilothouse or bridge. Automatic pumps are always ON (powered directly by house battery). NOTE – If an automatic pump cycles on/off (red light on panels), investigate cause. Turn ON the paired ‘manual’ pump to remove excess bilge water. Sloshing bilge water may trip float sensors, causing false cycles. This sometimes occurs in the FORWARD pair next to the Aft Stateroom; raise the lowest step in the passageway end next to galley end and inspect the sump.

7 HEATING AND COOLING There are three systems for heating and one for cooling. System Heating Cooling Diesel Furnace YES Cabin Electric YES Reverse Cycle YES YES

The Webasto DIESEL FURNACE system, rated at 45,000 Btu, uses little DC power and diesel fuel. It can be used for every heating situation, especially when at anchor. The system has 7 fan heater units, and it will produce ‘warm’ tap water in the Hot Water tank when the system has been active. 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. The Marine Air Reverse Cycle system is available when connected to Shore Power or Generator. The 3 units provide ‘heating’ or ‘cooling’ depending on the thermostat settings. The system can supplement heating on very cold days, for example, while the Diesel Furnace gets to full capacity. It will be necessary to limit the combination of cabin heaters or reverse cycle units to remain within the AC service capacity of Shore Power source (e.g. 15-amps, 20-amps, or 30-amps). When operating the onboard AC Generator, service capacity is normally not an issue.

7.1 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. Turn ON the SYSTEM HEAT on the panel above the Salon Stereo cabinet. 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 and circulation pump, located beneath the Lazarette port hatch. Seven Webasto fan-heater units provide heating in four comfort zones Comfort Zone Thermostat/Control Location Salon, Galley Salon starboard Aft Stateroom, Passageway, Aft Head Aft Stateroom Forward Stateroom, Mid Stateroom, Forward Head Forward Stateroom Port Pilothouse Pilothouse helm (3-way rotary switch)

At each thermostat, note the ‘actual’ room temperature. Press the UP or DOWN button to select the ‘desired’ temperature. Air will flow from the fan units when the ‘desired’ temperature is greater than the ‘actual’ temperature. Two temperature ‘presets’ allow easy change between daytime and nighttime temperature settings. Press the ‘SUN’ button once for the preset temperature of 68-degrees. Press the ‘MOON’ button once for the preset temperature of 60-degrees.

Turn ON the HEATER # on the Pilothouse AC Panel for the unit desired. At the thermostat location rotate temperature knob setting. It will be necessary to limit use of other AC devices.

7.3 Marine Reverse-Cycle Heating-Cooling System Three MarineAir Reverse Cycle Heating-Cooling units provide heating or cooling depending upon temperature setting at the Passport II digital control thermostats. Each unit works independently. Heat Zone AC Panel Switch Name Thermostat Location Salon, Galley AIR CONDITIONER 1 Galley Range starboard Pilothouse AIR CONDITIONER 2 Pilothouse Helm starboard Forward SR, Mid SR, Aft SR AIR CONDITIONER 3 Forward Stateroom portside

Normally, the AIR CONDITIONER RELAY switch is ON at the Pilothouse AC Panel. Whenever any of the 3 units are operating, raw water is discharged from 3 portside ports (one forward, 2 amidships). Check discharge periodically – water intakes may become blocked by seaweed or debris. The switch controls the pump. Turn ON the AIR CONDITIONER numbered-switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel for the zone desired. At the selected zone thermostat, press the ‘ON/OFF’ symbol on the Passport digital control panel to turn ON the control (panel will light up). Press the ‘thermometer’ symbols to select the ‘desired’ temperature. The system will produce heated air or cooled air to the ‘desired temperature’. After a few minutes, feel the airflow at the vent. If airflow temperature is not type expected, recheck the temperature setting.

8 ELECTRONICS The electronics components are controlled from the Pilothouse DC Panel. Other Power switches may be found on each component.

8.1 VHF Communication The boat has 2 VHF radios and 1 AIS transceiver. VHF radio is the primary means for hailing boats and getting emergency assistance. Monitor Channel 16. Set radios to scan ‘weather’ or ‘working’ channels as desired. The AIS transceiver broadcasts the boat’s name, position, course, and speed and receives name, position, course, and speed information from nearby AIS-equipped vessels. Common VHF Marine Channels for Pleasure Vessels in Washington, Canada, and Alaska:

Channel Purpose and Use Restrictions 16 International Distress and Calling. Hailing, distress, urgency None 6 Intership Safety. Ship-to-ship safety communications. SAR Opns

22A US Coast Guard Liaison. Establish communication on Channel 16 first 70 Digital Selective Calling Only for distress No voice 9 Intership & Ship-Shore ALL Vessels.

Also locks, bridges, except Seattle Low Power 11 Vessel Traffic System (VTS) – Victoria, Haro Strait, Turn Pt, Boundary Strait 5A Vessel Traffic System (VTS) – Northern Puget Sound 14 Vessel Traffic System (VTS) – Southern Puget Sound

NOTE -- The VHF radios are programmed with USA, International, and Canadian channels. Choose the appropriate channel group; e.g. in Canadian waters, select Canadian channel group ‘C’. The AIS transceiver is programmed with MMSI Code 303505000, which identifies ‘Starlight Express’.

8.1.1 Pilothouse VHF Radio The pilothouse VHF radio is Icom IC-M504 model located at helm starboard. It is connected to starboard VHF antenna via a VHF-AIS antenna splitter.

• Turn ON the ELECTRONICS switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel • Turn ON the RADAR switch to receive GPS latitude/longitude position information.

In addition to normal radio functions, the Icom IC-504 includes DSC (digital selective calling). Part of the DSC system allows vessels in trouble to notify the Coast Guard and other vessels in the vicinity. The MMSI Code 303505000 (boat indentifier) is programmed to the ‘Distress’ Call button. See section 12.5 Safety/VHF Radio Distress Call for procedure or refer to the iCom IC-M504 manual, page 23 in the cabinet beneath Pilothouse Electrical Panel. DSC also acts like a direct-dial telephone - you can call another boat directly if you have its MMIS Code. Refer to the IC-M504 manual, pages 26 and 41 for details.

The radio’s automatic Fog Horn feature may be used during limited visibility. See section 12.7 Safety/Automatic Foghorn, or refer to the Icom IC-504 manual, pages 53-54. To adjust backlight, press and hold [H/L], then rotate [DIAL] to adjust brightness.

8.1.2 Bridge VHF Radio The bridge VHF radio is Icom IC-M502 model located portside and connected to port VHF antenna.

• Turn ON the ELECTRONICS switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel • Turn ON the RADAR switch to receive GPS latitude/longitude position information.

The boat’s MMSI Code ‘303505000’ is programmed to the ‘Distress’ Call button. The calling procedure differs slightly from the Pilothouse VHF radio. Refer to the Icom IC-M502 manual.

8.1.3 AIS Transceiver The AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a Raymarine AIS650 Class B transceiver. The transceiver is active when the ELECTRONICS switch is ON. The transceiver shares the starboard VHF antenna through a Raymarine AIS100 Splitter – priority is to Pilothouse VHF radio. AIS data is viewed on the MFD chart and radar displays and is used to reduce risk of collision. The AIS transceiver sends and receives digital signals to exchange real-time information between vessels, shore-based stations, and navigation aids on dedicated VHF frequencies. The transceiver sends boat name, position, course, and speed (every 3-minutes under 2 knots, 30-seconds above 2 knots). At the same time, it receives information from nearby AIS-equipped ferries, fishing boats, tugs, tankers, cruise ships, pleasure boats, & navigation aids. But, never assume AIS displays all vessels. The AIS information is a selectable display layer on each MFD. For example, to set up chart window, select: Presentation/Chart Layers/AIS Layer/ON. AIS status is shown on the MFD. For AIS collision avoidance, use ‘safe zone’ and ‘message’ functions. For ‘silent mode’ on MFD: Menu/AIS Setup/Silent Mode=YES. Note ‘blue’ status on AIS unit. To connect AIS to PC-based charting software, install PC drivers (proAIS2/setup.exe) from AIS 650 CD (beneath pilothouse helm seat). Then plug USB cable into AIS USB port at navigation table. NOTE -- For details, refer to Chapter 17 in the Raymarine E-Series Reference Manual.

8.2 Depth Sounding The boat has 2 sounding systems: main and secondary.

8.2.1 Pilothouse Sounder Display The Raytheon Tri-Data instrument on Pilothouse helm starboard displays main sounder readings.

• Turn ON the ELECTRONICS switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel • Turn ON the RADAR switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel (to receive readings).

Water depth is shown in feet, speed-through-water (STW) in knots, and water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Sensor data is shared through the E-series network to each MFD. Refer to details below. CAUTION – To avoid damage to the MFD’s window coating, rinse with fresh water. DO NOT use dry cloth, cleaning solution, polish, or spray. Wipe smears gently with a clean micro fiber cleaning cloth.

8.3.1 Radar Sensor The RADAR sensor is a Raymarine RD-424 4KW model, rated 48-nautical miles. However, useful range is limited by line-of-sight, fog, rain, target height, land formations, and sensitivity setting. Turn ON the RADAR switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel (which also turns on the E-120 MFD). Use the E-120 MFD to activate the scanner and to enable transmit mode (TX). Each E-series MFD has its own ‘local control’ of the radar presentation. Refer to Raymarine E-120 manual or reference guide in cabinet beneath Pilothouse Electrical Panel.

8.3.2 GPS Sensor The GPS (Global Position System) sensor is a Raymarine Raystar 125 model and provides latitude and longitude data. Turn ON the RADAR switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. The GPS antenna is connected to the E-Series network and shares data with the E-120 and E-80 multifunctional displays, the Autopilot, and both VHF radios. It also aids in position/speed calculation.

8.3.3 Electronic Chart The ELECTRONIC CHART includes the Navionics Platinum 913P (Vancouver Island) package. The electronic flash card, inserted into the E-120 multi-function display, provides chart information. Turn ON RADAR switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel, which turns ON the E-120 MFD display. Each MFD allows local control of the chart presentation. For additional information, see Charts in the Navigation Section.

8.4 Speed Logs SPEED THROUGH WATER (STW) is read on the Raytheon Tri-Data display on the Pilothouse panel. It measures speed in knots. The B744 transducer paddlewheel provides data to DSM-300 sounder, then to the Tri-Data display. STW may also be displayed on the data bar on each E-Series MFD. SPEED OVER GROUND (SOG) may be read on the data bar of each Raymarine E-series MFD. The GPS provides position changes continuously and the E-120 MFD performs the SOG calculation.

NOTE – Tri-Data display lags MFD display by 2-4 seconds – it is set to NMEA 4800 data rate.

8.5 Autopilot The AUTOPILOT head unit is located on Pilothouse helm portside. In addition, an AUTOPILOT WIRELESS unit is located in bridge radio cabinet. These units aids in maintaining course heading. 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 maintain course. Press ‘standby’ mode to disable ‘auto’ mode. Refer to Raymarine Autopilot manual in cabinet beneath Pilothouse Electrical Panel. Turn ON the AUTOPILOT switch at the Pilothouse DC Panel. Turn ON the RADAR switch to link to features on the E-120 MFD. A RUDDER POSITION INDICATOR is displayed at the bottom scale of the display. For night illumination, press the ‘Lamp’ button to change the light level of the Autopilot and the Tri-Data display.

8.6 Cell Phone Service Cell phone service is available from almost anywhere in Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia for both VOICE and DATA. Local ‘hot spots’ are available at many remote British Columbia coastal locations (e.g. Big Bay, Minstrel Island, Echo Bay). Roaming and long distance charges may apply in Canada depending upon cellular phone service provider.

8.7 Internet Service Internet service is accessible when line-of-site to an Internet ‘access point’ in a marina or nearby community. Services is available in one of 2 ways:

• Option 1. PC/PDA Direct – Can be used when PC/PDA indicates a strong signal to a local ISP access point (Verizon, Sprint, etc). [The boat’s ‘wireless’ system is NOT used.]

• Option 2. PC/PDA through Boat Network – The boat network can be used to boost signal

and range and to access the internet service provider (ISP) Broadband Xpress (BBX), available in many ports in Washington and British Columbia. BBX offers subscription choices – for example 24-hrs is $10.95. BBX will request login information and show options and rates. [Note – To learn more, go to website http://www.bbxpress.net.]

To use the Boat network (Option 2), ensure the SALON/PILOTHOUSE RECEPTACLES switch is ON. [Power is backed up by the DC-AC INVERTER]. The antenna (3-feet) is located portside of radar dome. A diagram of the boat LAN is at Appendix K. NOTE – Internet via the boat system is not available while underway or outside range of access point. Satellite TV service is not related to Internet Service. Connect to Internet via Boat system in three steps:

• Step 1 – Turn on ‘Wi-Fi’ on the PC/PDA (for example, Dell WLAN card) • Step 2 – Select/connect ‘stx’ on the PC/PDA – the boat WLAN (wireless local area network). • Step 3 – Launch Internet Browser to a public web site (e.g. CNN). Wait for BBX login prompt.

10 ANCHORING & DOCKING Two anchoring systems are aboard – working and spare. The basic anchoring technique consists of selecting the anchorage location, dropping the anchor, laying out sufficient ‘scope’, setting the hook, and assessing how the vessel will drift/rotate. Review anchoring techniques in the Chapman’s Piloting Book.

10.1 Working Anchor The WORKING ANCHOR is a Bruce-type anchor weighing 66-lbs (30-kg) mounted on the bow roller. It is attached to 300-ft of 5/16” Hi-Test chain (3900-lb SWL) and backed up by 200-ft of 5/8”nylon rode (12,200-lb breaking strength), via a 360-degree swivel shackle (8,500 BL). The rode is passed through the HAUSE PIPE to the ANCHOR RODE LOCKER located behind the mirror in Forward Stateroom. The rode is deployed and retrieved using the Muir Cougar WINDLASS.

10.1.1 Anchor Deployment Before using WINDLASS, free the LOCKING CAMS on the winch sprocket. First, lift and free the cam on the aft lever and rotate the lever backward to the deck. Then, lift the cam on the forward side and rotate it to the deck. The winch sprocket will now rotate freely for power use. Ensure the clutch has sufficient drag – use the WINCH CRANK in the forward deck locker to if necessary to adjust the drag. NOTE – The forward cam is used to secure the sprocket. Both cams may be used if manual retrieval of the rode is necessary. Use the WINCH HANDLE on the lever to aid cranking. Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER switch in the Pilothouse Panel left side. If no power, check the WINDLASS MASTER BREAKER Switch in the Salon Aft Battery Switch Panel. At the foredeck, uncover the HAUSE PIPE to free the rode. Uncover the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Maneuver the boat to the selected anchor point. Note the depth on sounder. Tap gently on the DOWN control allowing the anchor to slide over the bow roller. The anchor may need a nudge to clear the roller. Avoid swinging the anchor. CAUTION – Ensure the chain will run free from the chain locker. A chain tangle or stoppage will trip the ‘windlass circuit breaker’ and freeze operation. To free up chain, go to forward stateroom, lift the front mirrored panel cover, and inspect the chain locker. At the Salon aft Battery Panel, reset/squeeze-in the slide on the windlass circuit breaker. Re-check green light at the WINDLASS POWER switch at Pilothouse Electric panel. For chain anchoring, consider a minimum 4:1 scope. Example – to achieve 4:1 in 25-ft water, deploy 120-ft [25-ft depth+5-ft freeboard, multiplied by 4). Compensate for depth changes during the tidal cycle and the holding power of the bottom. Consider swing of nearby boats. The general rule is, the more scope, the better, especially in unsettled weather. A common fault is too little. Deploy ANCHOR RODE using the ‘snub’ and ‘feel’ technique (tension is maintained) as rode is deployed to scope. Markers are placed at 30-feet intervals indicating chain/rode length deployed.

Drift or idle back to tighten the rode, then reverse engines in idle to set the anchor. Look for boat movement by aligning shore reference points. Shorten rode if necessary to reduce swing. Place the forward cam in UP position to lock the windlass gear. Turn OFF the windlass power switch. CAUTION – Monitor the boat’s position to ensure the anchor remains set. With the variety of bottoms in Pacific Northwest waters, this is very important, especially during strong winds, abrupt changes in wind direction, or directional changes of water current. NOTE – In an emergency where anchor cannot be retrieved or must be jettisoned, a ‘bolt cutter’ is available beneath the Salon starboard seat. Also, the nylon rode may be cut at the 300-ft marker.

10.1.2 Anchor Rode Snubber The SNUBBER may be used to reduce jarring and anchor chain noise. The rig is in the Bow Foredeck locker. It includes a 5/16” chain hook, a Shockles Line Snubber, and 20-ft ½” nylon line. With the rig’s chain hook in hand, reach through opening of pulpit and hook the chain beneath the bow roller. Run free-end over the roller and tie free-end to a cleat temporarily to avoid losing the rig overboard. Free the windlass sprocket and tap control down to let out snubber out about 5 to 8-ft. Untie the free end of the line. Remove all slack, loop line around the top cleat on the windlass, then tie free-end securely to one of the bow cleats. Tap the down control again, tightening the snubber line. Then, continue to tap down until 3-ft of chain is hanging freely beneath the chain hook. The snubber will buffer line shocks and dampen rode noise. The dangling chain will apply weight to the chain hook to prevent the hook from detaching if the anchor rode slacks suddenly.

10.1.3 Anchor Retrieval The windlass uses 100-amps DC Electric power; therefore, operate the windlass with the engines running to supplement battery power. Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH at the Pilothouse AC Panel. Uncover HAUSE PIPE and ensure rode will pass freely from the winch sprocket to the chain locker. Turn ON the WASHDOWN switch on the DC Panel. Open the FOREDECK LOCKER, retrieve the hose, and prepare to wash the anchor rode and anchor. Remove the snubber rig if used. Move the boat toward the anchor point. Press the UP control to retrieve slack rode, rather than pulling on the rode. Continue to retrieve slack until above the anchor point. Wash the rode and anchor as it rises. Coordinate maneuver with the helmsman to hover above the anchor point while the anchor breaks free from the bottom. As the anchor nears surface, allow anchor to hang vertically before raising above surface – this avoids swinging against hull. Tap gently on the UP control and rotate while hanging, and guide the anchor into the proper position for the bow roller. Gently stow anchor on the pulpit. Wash the anchor. CAUTION – Tap the pedal controls in tiny bursts when anchor is near pulpit to avoid binding anchor, over-tightening rode, and damaging the pulpit. Connect a flexible tie-cord between the anchor and windlass to snug the anchor and chain. Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Turn OFF the WINDLASS power switch at the AC Panel and the WASHDOWN switch on the DC panel.

10.2 Spare Anchor The SPARE ANCHOR is a Bruce-Type anchor weighing 44-lb (20 KG). It may be used in special anchoring situations, such as a “kedge” to limit swinging direction, to anchor bow-stern, to stabilize or pull off grounding, or a temporary replacement for lost working Anchor. It is located beneath the Lazarette port hatch. CAUTION -- Remove gently to avoid damage of nearby hydraulic lines. A 12-ft 5/16” BBB chain (2650-lb SWL) should be attached first. Then, using the 3/8” shackle (2000-lb SWL), connect the 200-ft ½” SPARE ANCHOR RODE (5700-lb breaking strength). Both are stowed beneath the Lazarette starboard hatch.

10.3 Bow Thruster The BOW THRUSTER is a Sidepower SE 120/215T, 24-volt model located beneath the forward stateroom bunk. It may be used for positioning the bow during docking or maneuvering tight spaces. Turn ON the main THRUSTER BATTERY SWITCH located in the forward stateroom on bunk starboard. Know this location to disconnect thruster in case of control malfunction.

Operate the thruster from either the pilothouse or bridge. To activate the control joystick, push both ON buttons on the panel simultaneously and the indicator light will turn orange. Move the joystick in the direction desired, port or starboard. The momentum will carry the bow. Turn OFF when not used. CAUTION -- The manufacture estimates maximum time for continuous-use is 3 minutes. The electromotor has a thermal switch to shut it off when overheated, and it will re-engage only when cooled sufficiently. The thruster is not for prolonged use in current or side wind. The best practice to plan the docking maneuver and to use good technique, before committing the bow thruster. The thruster blades may draw objects into the tunnel – be aware of floating objects nearby.

10.4 Mooring Buoy Mooring buoys are topped with a metal triangle and/or ring. A printed plate indicates the capacity or restriction. Before mooring, determine whether the buoy is public and the boat is within capacity. Sometimes, the metal ring attached to the buoy chain can be lifted to attach a boat line. Often the chain is very heavy, so a strong crewmember should assist. The MOORING HOOK is often the simplest way to do the initial connection to the ring on the buoy. The hook (slender stainless steel frame with attached while line) is located in the bow foredeck locker. Lead the loop end of the hook line from below the pulpit opening and attach to cleat to prevent loss overboard. On an extended boat pole, place hook onto the end, applying slight pull on the hook line to keep hook on tip. Extend rig toward the buoy. The helmsman should maneuver from downwind or down current. It is helpful to have a free crewmember point his/her arm to the buoy continuously. The body language will tell the helmsman the buoy location relative to the bow as it disappears from view. As the boat nears the buoy, a crewmember inserts the hook tip into the metal ring, and sets the hook. To retrieve the hook, lift the hook bend with the boat pole. The mooring hook is adequate for short stay. For overnight, thread a dock line through the ring. Secure line to boat, forming a bridle between bow cleats. If necessary, use the dinghy to setup.

10.5 Stern Tie Securing the boat’s stern to shore is necessary when the anchorage is crowded, when swing space is limited, or when rotation around the anchor point is not desired. A 400-ft lightweight propylene line is available for a stern-tie line. It is on a roll (orange) beneath the cockpit port hatch. As alternative, the 200-ft line may be used. In anchorages where stern-tie is common, metal rings are setup on the shore. To setup stern-tie for easy retrieval, run a free-end of line to shore with dinghy, thread the free end through the metal ring, and return the free end to the boat, doubling the line. When leaving, release one free-end and retrieve the line by pulling it through the ring. NOTE – When setting up double-back shore line, tie ends to same cleat. If ends are tied apart, the boat’s sideways motion pulls the line back and forth through the ring – the ring may ‘saw’ the line.

11 DINGHY The DINGHY is a Rendova rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with 40-horsepower Honda 4-stroke motor. It has a capacity to carry 4-people. Dinghy, motor, and fuel weigh about 750 pounds.

11.1 Launch The DAVIT circuit BREAKER is located in the Salon aft battery switch panel and is normally ON. Plug the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT cord into the DAVIT WINCH CONTROL RECEPTACLE located on the masthead just forward of the davit. The DAVIT WINCH CONTROLLER is a hand-held unit attached to 8-foot cord and plug, and is normally stored on the Pilothouse helm port shelf. WARNING – When not in use, disconnect the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT from the receptacle. If the handset becomes wet, it may short-circuit causing the davit to operate ‘uncontrolled’. There will be severe strain on the davit, cable, and dinghy and damage may result. NOTE – A spare DAVIT WINCH CONTROLLER is located beneath the Pilothouse helm port seat. CAUTION – Ensure the aft drain plug below motor is installed before launch. Turn ON the BILGE PUMP switch momentarily before lifting to remove any extra bilge water. If water is not removed, the water will re-locate to the bow as the dinghy is lifted, and tilt the dinghy. Release the three deck tie downs. If the deck stanchions are in place, remove and stow them. WARNING – Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run freely. Because the cable is lightweight, it has a tendency to ride off the roller onto the shaft when cable is slack. If it rides the shaft, there will be severe strain on the cable and risk of breakage! Keep weight on cable when free and check the roller frequently. A plastic guide helps stay the cable. Carefully, nudge the hand switch to the IN position to lift. Slowly clear of the deck and chocks. WARNING – Do not make allow the hook to contact the boom – there will be tremendous strain. Ensure good footing – the boat will list to port. Gently rotate the dinghy and boom to port. When the boom is nearly perpendicular to deck, align the dinghy to the deck, bow pointing aft. Check clearance below, nudge the hand-switch to the OUT position, and guide the dinghy down the side. WARNING – Allow no person to ride the dinghy or place body below dinghy while lowering or lifting. Remove the lifting harness from the 3 attachment eyes on the dinghy. For safety, clip the hooks back to the main ring to control swinging hooks. Move the dinghy to the swim step or dock. Use the fenders to avoid damage to rubber. On swim step, side-tie loosely to the pop-up cleat and to the handle on ladder cover. Raise the cable, using the hook’s weight to maintain tension on the line. Rotate the davit boom inward. Secure davit boom to the deck tie down; remove slack, but do not strain the cable.

11.2 Operation

11.2.1 Pre-Checks Before operating, open the engine cover and check the oil with the motor level. Spare oil is located in the Cockpit portside cabinet. The fuel tank is Gasoline ONLY. DO NOT add oil to the fuel. CAUTION – The most common issue with dinghy operation is water in the fuel. Prevent water from entering the tank during refueling. Avoid ‘drowning’ the fuel cap area when operating in rough waters. Periodically, drain the fuel-water separator located beneath the seat. Rotate the drain valve stem counter-clockwise (looking up), and allow bowl to drain. Close the valve. Refill bowl - push-in the ball on inside of connector end of fuel hose while squeezing the primer bulb. If water has entered carburetors, use a small screwdriver to loosen the drain plug beneath each carburetor bowl (being careful not to loosen screw completely) and squeeze on primer bulb to flush bowl. Tighten plugs. A 12-volt battery charger is stowed beneath the starboard bridge seat (red box) for battery re-charging. Plug into a 120-volt receptacle (one is located inside bridge entertainment cabinet), using an extension cord from the Electric Tool Box (orange) located beneath the salon starboard seat.

11.2.2 Use Lower or raise the motor by pressing ‘Down’ or ‘UP’ on the MOTOR TILT rocker switch on the throttle handle, or on the side of the engine cover. Connect the fuel line securely to the motor. Squeeze the primer bulb to fill the carburetors. Ensure the THROTTLE is in ‘neutral’ position. Move the IDLE SPEED lever all the way upward to engage the ELECTRIC CHOKE (a click sound) or pull the CHOKE LEVER outward on the motor body. Turn the MOTOR IGNITION KEY to crank. Back off choke until the engine runs smoothly and choke is no longer needed. Use the IDLE SPEED lever to maintain rpm until the engine warms and operates smoothly. Then, return it to idle position. The THROTTLE lever will NOT operate until the IDLE SPEED lever is in idle position (down). To drive forward, grab the THROTTLE lever, use the thumb to squeeze the handle release, and move the THROTTLE forward until the gear engages. To increase forward speed, push the throttle forward. Return to neutral to disengage gear. To drive backward, squeeze the handle release and move the throttle lever backward until gear engages. To increase backward speed, pull the throttle backward. To apply motor TRIM, press the UP/DOWN rocker switch on the throttle. Use trim within safe limits. WARNING – Ensure crewmembers are trained operation and safety. WA-State and Canadian Laws have minimum age limits and personal certification requirements for operating powered boats. Be aware of speed, sea conditions, and traffic.

11.3 Retrieval To retrieve the dinghy, the procedure is reverse of deployment. CAUTION – Use the BILGE pump to pump out bilge water. Remove extra gear to reduce weight on the davit. Tilt the motor UPWARD slightly to avoid damage to the rear of the boat deck. Deploy the davit boom. Move the dinghy along the port side, pointing dinghy bow toward the boat stern, and tie loosely to a cleat Clip the lifting harness to the dinghy lifting eyes. Free the dinghy. Retrieve slack on the cable. Ensure harness is not entangled with motor control cables or fuel line. WARNING – Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run freely. Because the cable is lightweight, it tends to ride off the roller onto the shaft whenever cable slack. If the cable rides the shaft, there will be severe strain on the cable! Keep natural tension on the cable and check the roller frequently. Ensure good footing – the boat deck will list sharply to port during lifting. Lift slowly and check the dinghy harness and balance. Carefully raise the line hook within 4-inches from the boom tip. WARNING – Do not make contact between hook and boom roller– there will be tremendous strain. Allow no person to be assist operation from below the dinghy. Rotate the bow inboard, pointing it cross-wise to the deck. Grab the dinghy rail, and in one steady motion, pull and rotate the dinghy around the davit boom, aligning bow to the forward chock. Guide the hull to the rear chocks, checking clearance and pad alignment. Ensure pads face properly and make solid contact. Lower until the hull rests firmly on the pads. Relieve tension on the cable. Secure the dinghy with the 3 deck tie downs. CAUTION - Ensure the DINGHY KEY SWITCH and each accessory switch are in OFF position to avoid battery discharge. Remove the DAVIT CONTROL unit from the plug and stow in pilothouse. Do not leave unattended. WARNING – After use, disconnect the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT from the receptacle. If the handset becomes wet, it may short-circuit causing the davit to operate ‘uncontrolled, causing severe strain on the davit, cable, and dinghy.

11.4 Equipment

11.4.1 Air Inflation Pump. Ensure the dinghy air bladders are rigid – no bend, sag, limpness. Insufficient inflation will result in excess wear on rubber tubes and uncomfortable ride. The dinghy air pump and hose is located in the Dinghy Box (orange-color) on the bridge deck. The hose is 12-ft length – it will reach the inlet at tube stern with foot pump planted onto deck of cockpit, swim step, or bridge. Use an assistant to secure the hose to the tube inlet.

15 CLEANING

15.1 Waste Management Plan All crew members and passengers must be briefed on the vessel’s Solid Waste Management Plan to comply with US Coast Guard regulation.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN for Starlight Express

Person in Charge: Master of Vessel

Solid Waste Management Procedures as Referenced Below:

All the garbage generated on the vessel is put in a garbage bag and disposed of in the trash containers at the harbor at the end of each trip or is given to the tender vessel to shore for disposal. All crew members have been oriented to the requirements of MARPOL ANNEX V by captain, and all new crew are specifically shown the MARPOL V placard and told to keep all refuse stowed on board. Passenger orientation to the vessel includes being shown the location of trash receptacles and mention of refuse discharge regulations.

15.2 Cleaning Supplies Cleaning supplies are located under the Galley sink or in the Head cabinets. DO NOT use ‘steel wool’ or metal scrubbers on the counters, sinks, and galley range – those materials will scratch surfaces. Vinyl can only be cleaned with vinyl cleaner.

15.3 Vacuum Cleaner The CENTRAL VACUUM CLEANER and hose accessories are located in the starboard compartment in the passageway behind the Plexiglas panels. Turn ON the Vacuum Cleaner switch on the Pilothouse AC panel. The vacuum will turn ON automatically when the hose is plugged into the intake opening of the vacuum cleaner. Spare bags are located beneath the lower bunk in the mid-stateroom.

16 RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT

16.1 Barbeque The BARBECUE (Magma ‘Newport’ Model) is mounted on the starboard rail on the boat deck. Ensure flammable materials are not near the barbecue when in use. Turn ON the BRIDGE BBQ REFRIG switch on the DC Panel. OPEN cover (blue) on tank box and turn ON valve on tank. Next, turn on PROPANE switch on the cabinet next to barbeque (red light). Finally, push-in the control knob, and turn slightly (ignition position). Press the barbeque ignition button to light (the flame is very low and quiet). Turning the knob counter-clockwise will reduce the flame. To turn off, turn clockwise until the knob pops outward. If the ignition button does not ignite the burner, use matches. The barbecue generates lots of heat. Cooking greases may burn. CAUTION – When finished, ensure the BARBECUE control knob is turned OFF, the PROPANE switch is OFF, and the tank valve is CLOSED.

16.2 Deck Chairs Two folding frame WHITE CANVAS deck chairs are stowed at the cockpit portside near doorway. Use the bungee cord to secure when not in use. Four folding frame BLUE CANVAS sports chairs are stowed beneath the salon aft seat. Two folding canvas stools and a small folding canvas table are also stowed.

16.3 Crab Gear Two sets of CRAB TRAPS, LINES, and FLOATS are stowed on the flybridge deck in a black canvas bag and covered bucket with red lid. BAIT CONTAINERS are stowed beneath the starboard seat. Assemble the float – flag, pole section, buoy, pole section, and weight. Clip weighted line securely to the float assembly and to the crab trap harness. Fill bait containers and suspend containers inside trap. Crab bait (usually salmon heads, chicken, or turkey legs) are available from marina stores or local markets; or try your own. Deploy the traps in water less than length of line (allow 10-ft tidal change). Measure crabs using the CRAB MEASURING GAUGE normally found in the bucket. Keep Dungeness male crabs greater than 6-1/4” US or 6-1/2” Canada. After use, rinse gear with fresh water. To learn more about crabbing, refer to the book How to Catch Crab found on the Pilothouse aft cabinet. NOTE – Before crabbing, check local crab regulations, open/closed areas, and dates. For State of Washington, call Shellfish Hotline at 866-880-5431

16.4 Clam Gear A CLAM SHOVEL and HAND RAKE are stowed beneath the salon aft seat. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before re-stowing to avoid rusting.

16.5 Fishing Gear FISHING POLES may be stowed in the pole holders on the bridge behind the aft seat. One Scotty electric DOWNRIGGER (Depthpower 1106 Longarm) is stowed beneath the starboard bridge seat, along with mounting equipment to mount on corners of the boat cockpit. CAUTION – Experienced users ONLY should use downrigger equipment. Set up the downrigger in the cockpit.

• Mounting Bracket – Remove lines from the port and/or starboard hawse opening on the rail of the cockpit corner. Guide four bolts of the custom MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY into the opening. Beneath the rail, align back plate with white pads facing up against the bottom of the rail. Tighten four wing nuts.

• Pedestal Mount – Orient the PEDESTAL MOUNT so the lever is facing inboard. Insert the

four knurled knob screws and tighten to MOUNTING BRACKET.

• Downrigger Unit – On left side of the DOWNRIGGER base, remove the red-colored base bolt. Place unit on the pedestal, align base hole to the TILT UP BRACKET, and insert the red-colored base bolt from left (pushing completely through base), and tighten bolt.

• Power Receptacle. Plug the power cord into the RECEPTACLE beneath the rail. Rotate

the cord plug until prongs align, then push in and rotate clockwise slightly to lock. Test power to the unit by short taps on the GREEN power button. There is no other switch.

Follow good practice when using downrigger.

• Keep wire tight. Slack forms kinks or allows wire come off spool, causing damage. • Keep fingers away from the underside of the downrigger base, the spool, and the wire. • Lower the ball weight while boat is in forward motion to avoid tangle with props and rudder. • Bring gear toward you when retrieving weights or resetting release clips. • Avoid leaning out – an unexpected boat motion may send you overboard. • Remove the ball weight when downrigger is unattended. Secure ball in the ball carrier. • Use the red lock-lever to secure the downrigger upright, or rotate the boom parallel to the rail. • Keep a pair of wire cutters handy to cut away snagged lines if necessary. • Keep a good bend in fishing rod. When fish hits, the bent rod will take up line as clip releases.
