Welcome Aboard!

Thank you for choosing Sunshine as your charter vessel. Please give her the respect

and care she deserves while enjoying her many fine features. We will be more than

happy to hear from you concerning suggestions to ensure your cruising satisfaction.

Please read the following operations manual and the individual manuals aboard the

boat that describe in detail the systems and accessories on the boat. Feel free to make

recommendations for changes or additions (especially corrections) as your comments

will ensure all information is understood and appropriate for all crews. The individual

manuals can be found in a large binder beside the dinette. These manuals should be of

assistance with troubleshooting if required.

Once again, welcome aboard!

** CAUTION**

With all the debris we are forced to boat through, we ask that you

observe a few simple rules of running:

Don’t run fast into the sunset or sunrise, as sparkles on the

water hide flotsam.

When running fast, always operate the vessel from the upper

helm.

A copy of Chapman’s “Piloting & Seamanship” is aboard for

reference.

Debris will be pushed away from the semi-displacement hull when

running slowly and avoid damage to the running gear. A careful

lookout will avoid costly damage to the props and/or shafts and worst

of all potentially ruin a well planned and deserved vacation. Hopefully

you will never be involved in a boating accident but, if you are,

remember that an accident report may be required. Your charter

captain can provide further information, if necessary.

Engines/Fuel

A. Specifications

Twin Cummins Turbocharged Diesel - 270 HP

Cruise RPM 2200 @ 18 Kts (21 mph)

Fuel consumption: For best economy cruise, we recommend operating both

engines between 1000 and 1200 RPM (8-10 mph) to achieve the best fuel

economy (up to 3 miles per gallon of fuel (with slack tide). The faster you go,

fuel mileage will be less.Max cruise at 2200 RPM (21 mph) the boat will travel

1.2 miles per gallon of fuel.

B. Before departure

1. Turn 110 volt AC main breakers “OFF” on right side of power panel.

2. Turn shore power breaker “OFF” at the panel on the dock.

3. Disconnect shore power and store cord and adapters in the lazarette.

4. Power panel: Ensure batteries are charged and 12V DC breakers are

“ON”.

5. Take the cover off the Simrad navigation computer on the flybridge and

store cover in a safe place. Turn on the computer. Full manual for use of

the Simrad unit is on board, please familiarize yourself with the operations

prior to first use.

6. Turn on both VHF radios and tune to channel 16.

C. Pre-Start

Engine access is obtained by lifting the hatch covers in the main salon, and

through the access panels in the aft stateroom & mid-cabin. This access is for

checking oil, transmission fluid and coolant levels. Battery access is also

available through the mid-cabin (2 access panels).

1. CHECK OIL. Dipstick marks are separated from full to add by two

quarts. When the dipstick reads ‘add’, two quarts are needed. Halfway

between would require one quart. Diesel engines are particularly sensitive

to overfilling or low oil levels. Please be careful.

The transmission dipsticks can be reached through the rear access panel.

The sea strainers can be reached from here as well.

2. VISUALLY INSPECT belts, hoses, mounts, sea strainers, fuel filters and

coolant overflow tanks.

3. COOLANT. Coolant should be visible in the expansion tanks. If not, you

can check coolant tank by removing the cap. Add coolant as required to

reach the cold line.

4. BATTERIES. Ensure battery switches (located to starboard of the lower

helm station.) are in the “on” position

D. Start

1. Be sure all engines transmissions are in neutral and throttles in idle

position. The engines will not start unless you are securely in neutral.

2. Turn key clockwise-light will come on indicating preheat is engaged and

alarm will sound indicating low oil pressure. Allow up to 30 seconds for

preheat (preheat light will turn off) & turn key fully clockwise to engage

starter. Engine start should be rapid. Once started, the alarm will stop.

Immediately advance throttle to ~800 rpm until warm.Note: Engines may

be started and operated from either the Bridge station or the lower helm

station.

3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the second engine.

4. Visually check overboard exhaust for water flow.

5. Warm engines for approximately 5 minutes before attempting to maneuver

to avoid the possibility of stalling an engine. Run at least 15 minutes at

slow speed (~800 rpm) to allow engine to come to operating temperature

(~185 deg F) and then apply power as required.

6. Diesel engines use a lot of air. A blower switch is located on the control

panel which can be engaged to assist with air exhaust from the engine

room.

7. If an engine warning alarm sounds (possibly due to low oil pressure or

high water temperature…..normal readings are 40-60 psig for oil pressure

and 185 deg F for water temperature.), shut down the engine immediately.

If it is overheating, start troubleshooting with the sea strainers.

8. Constantly monitor oil pressure, engine temperature and fuel levels.

Note: If an engine cranks hard or appears to have a weak battery, a parallel battery

switch, located on the instrument panel, can be engaged to allow both engine batteries

to assist with engine starting.

E. Shifting

1. Shift only when the engines are at idle to avoid transmission damage.

2. PAUSE momentarily in neutral when shifting from forward to reverse or

vice-versa.

F. Engine Shut Down

Idle engines at lest 5 minutes to allow cooling of the turbochargers. DAMAGE

can occur if hot engines are immediately shutdown after running at cruising

speed.

G. Fuel * * * * CAUTION * * * *

Use Diesel #2 Only!

WARNING: The skipper must supervise all fuel filling. Be sure you are

putting fuel into the fuel tanks and not into any other tanks. There are

multiple fill ports on the boat deck…..Two for fuel, two for holding tanks and

one for potable water. The deck plates are clearly marked, but exercise

caution. Also, be sure you are filling with Diesel, not GAS! Avoid spills; don’t

trust the fuel gauges entirely and do not attempt to operate the vessel with

less than ¼ tank per side.

A fuel manifold is located in the engine compartment and allows fuel to be

drawn from either tank to feed either engine or both engines. This is useful in

the unlikely event that the fuel in one of the tanks is contaminated and this

tank must be isolated. In normal operation all valve handles should be in the

“DOWN” position.

Auxiliary Power Unit (Gen-Set)

Operation

1. The Onan diesel gen-set (Auxiliary Power Unit) is located in the aft lazarette.

2. Make sure all AC loads are off at breaker panel before starting the APU.

3. Check to ensure sea cock to APU is open and water is present in the sea

water strainer, located just aft of the APU.

4. Once the APU is running, immediately check for cooling water flow off the

starboard side. If water is not flowing, shut the APU down and prime the

cooling system by adding water to the sea strainer.

5. AC power will switch to generator power automatically when the generator is

running, even if already connected to shore power.

6. To shutdown the APU, turn off the Master AC breaker switches; allow the

APU to run unloaded for a few minutes and depress the “stop” button on the

APU control panel. The vessel will automatically return to shore power if

connected.

7. The APU draws fuel from the Starboard tank.

Galley

A. Stove/Oven

1. Propane is heavier than air and very explosive. Use extreme caution.

The propane tank is located in the locker on the upper aft deck, under the life

jackets. The propane tanks are filled regularly.

2. When changing tanks, remember the threads are reversed; or left hand

threads. To loosen, turn CCW and CW for tightening. When tightening,

lubricate the threads and be careful not to over-tighten. Leak-check can be

performed by spraying a soap and water solution on the connection and look

for soap bubbles.

3. To Operate:

a) Ensure all burner control knobs are in the “Off” position.

b) Open (CCW) the valve on top of the propane tank

c) Turn the “LP Gas” solenoid switch on (located on cabinet between

stove and sink.)

d) Push and turn burner knob ¼ turn CCW; allow air to purge from line;

hold-in and repeatedly push the “burner ignite” button until ignition

occurs. Continue holding the burner knob in for a few seconds to

allow sensor to register flame. If burner ignite button does not work,

burners can be lit with a match or BBQ lighter.

e) One burner should be lit before lighting the oven to help with gas

flow. To light the oven, turn the knob to the desired temperature

setting, push in the red “Oven Safety” button and hold a flame next to

the pilot light/heat sensor at the end of the burner on the right hand

side. Once it lights, continue to hold the button in for a few seconds.

When you release the button, the oven pilot light should stay lit. If

not repeat process holding the “Oven Safety” button in longer.

f) It is recommended that the “LP Gas” solenoid be turned off after each

use of the propane stove/oven and that the propane tank be shut off.

B. Water System

1. Check the water level monitor located on the electrical panel. Fill the

system as required using the hose on board. Purge the hose prior to

filling water tank. Be careful not to drop or lose the cap. Once the tank

overflows, cap the tank.

2. Water fill is located on starboard side of the deck, just aft of the “Waste”

deck plate. Please do not confuse the two…it could ruin your trip!

3. DC master circuit breaker must be switched on to use the pressurized

water system. Engaging the Water Pump switch will turn on the water

pump and activate an amber light on the panel. You will hear the pump

running, attempting to pressurize the system. If it does not shut off within

2 minutes it probably cannot establish system pressure. Troubleshooting

will be required.

C. Refrigerator

1. At anchor, the refrigerator is the biggest house battery drain. When using the

APU, the refrigerator will operate from this AC source through the battery

charger.

2. At the conclusion of your trip, please leave the refrigerator running, with

temperature setting midway and door closed.

Heads/Plumbing

A. Heads

The Jabsco marine toilet looks like a household appliance, but the plumbing

is entirely different. The hoses that transfer the waste reduce to 1” in

diameter, so they cannot transfer the same bulk as the home unit. Pamper

the marine head and your trip will be much more enjoyable.

1. To be on the safe side, only flush human waste down the heads. Dispose

of toilet paper and other items in the trash.

2. If you must, use only biodegradable toilet paper made specifically for

marine toilets.

3. Do not flush tampons, Kleenex, sanitary wipes, hair, makeup

remover pads, baby wipes etc down the marine toilets.

4. TO FLUSH, flip the lever above the pump handle to the “wet” position and

pump several SLOW strokes to wet the bowel before use. Seawater is

used for this purpose. After use, pump slowly and steadily. Don’t force

anything. After waste has disappeared, pump several more times, flip the
