Operation & Inventory Manual

USERS MANUAL FOR THE “LATERISER”

Welcome aboard the “LATERISER”. The “LATERISER” is a 1994 43-foot Bayliner

model 4388 that was named for the laid-back and relaxing owners that she has had. She

was manufactured in Arlington, Washington and is 43 feet long and has a beam of 14’3”.

LATERISER’s Home Port is Anchorage, Alaska and she was moored for three years in

Seward, Alaska before moving down to Washington in 1997. She is now moored in

Anacortes, Washington.

We have put together this manual for you to become familiar with the “LATERISER”.

Please take a few moments to read through this and please ask any charter company staff

any questions that may come up and we have not covered. Also, please be sure to have

the staff pass on to us any additional information or items that we should add to our

manual.

We hope that you and your crew have a wonderful, safe and enjoyable cruise.

2. PRE-START CHECK

Before starting engines for departure, complete a pre-start inspection. The “Check-in” inspections

should identify any obvious items of concern, but the charter skipper must take full responsibility for

checking out the equipment on a regular basis throughout the cruise. Prior to starting the engines each

time the skipper must check crankcase oil, coolant levels, sea-water strainer, steering hydraulic fluid and

perform a general sight inspection to the engine compartment equipment and bilge (Be sure to look for

any signs of excessive belt wear, leaks, loose fittings, etc.). Make certain that the two seacock valves

supplying seawater to the engines are open (in a vertical position). Also make sure that all items stowed

away in lockers or compartments are properly secured.

Please note, that a slow dripping leak around the drive shaft log where its exits the hull is part of the

normal lubricating process of the shaft.

If there are any questions regarding these procedures, PLEASE be sure to ask for further instructions

from the checkout staff person from Anacortes Yacht Charters. There are never any dumb questions.

Also, be sure to check to make sure the front hatch skylights and side portholes are closed

before cruising. You don’t want to have a wet, cold bed after a long day of cruising.

There are 8 fenders.

THE LIFEJACKETS ARE FOUND IN THE STORAGE AREA UNDER THE MAIN

SALON COUCH SEATS.

3. STARTING ENGINES AND CRUISING

NOTE: It is not necessary to pre-heat the engines unless the outside temperature is

approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.

Start one engine at a time (recommend the Port engine first). Turn the ignition key fully

clockwise until the engine starts and release the key. If the engine does not start after two to

three seconds, release the key, wait ten to fifteen seconds, and then try again. The engine oil

pressure/temperature alarm will sound during the start up until the engine starts and the oil

pressure reaches normal operating range. If the alarm persists, check the oil pressure gauge

reading and shut the engine off. If the alarms sound at any time during operation, check the

gauges to determine what the problem is (oil pressure or engine temperature), and shut that

engine off.

After the engines have been started, check the oil pressure gauges, voltmeters, and fuel

gauges. Check all gauges frequently while cruising. Do not allow the fuel tank to go below

one-third full to prevent air from enter the fuel lines on a heavy roll during high sea

conditions.

Check the engine exhausts to be sure that exhaust water is flowing from the exhaust outlets.

Let the engines warm at idle for at least 5 minutes prior to shoving off or raising anchor.

Whenever you are shifting the transmission lever (the black handle) be certain that the

throttle is in the FULL IDLE position. Hesitate momentarily at neutral position when

shifting forward to reverse and visa versa. We request that, for normal cruising, the engines

be operated around 2300 rpm. At this engine speed you will be traveling approximately 14

knots, while still realizing good fuel efficiency. In case of an emergency, when travel is of

extreme importance, the engine may be run at higher rpm’s for a short period of time.

Any switches that are turned on while at the upper helm cannot be turned off at the lower

helm, such as blowers or anchor lights. After you are through cruising, double check to see

that every unwanted accessory is off. This will avoid a low battery.

GAUGES

It is important that you monitor the gauges regularly. The oil pressure should be between 60-

75 PSI. The starboard engine will always run a little hotter than the port because of the

different accessory items that each engine runs. The starboard engine cruises at 185 degrees,

and the port at 170 degrees.

You will hear two alarms when starting each engine. These are the low oil pressure alarms.

If these alarms go off while underway or making maneuvers, immediately check all gauges

and shut down the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. If the engine temperature exceeds

200 degrees, this means that the engine is not getting enough water to keep it cool. Refer to

“Engines” in this manual on how to trouble shoot.

The fuel gauges are located at the main helm only, and are very accurate. At the upper helm

you will find two other gauges not found at the lower helm. You will find an hour meter, this

shows you how much time is being put on the boat for maintenance purposes.

TRIM TABS

The best technique for the initial use of the trim tabs is to first remove all trim by pushing the

trim switch “bow up”. After obtaining a desirable RPM and speed, gradually press, “bow

down” in ½ second intervals until desired boat deck angle is obtained (about3-4 degree bow

up).

If you trim slightly “bow down” in light chop, your ride will be a lot smoother, however,

spray from the bow wave will make the boat wetter. If you trim”bow up” or “no trim” in

heavy chop, following seas or rough seas, the boat will be safer, and broaching potential is

decreased. The boat will be a lot drier when running in windy conditions, if you remove all

trim, and run bow up. In smooth water, your ride will be great, and fuel consumption will be

minimal (about 14GPH), if you trim for max speed @ 2300 RPM’s.

Do not run the engines above 2500 RPM for extended periods. Above 2500 RPM, very little

speed is gained; fuel consumption goes up dramatically; overheating can occur, because the

engines are laboring; and it can damage the transmission drive gears. At 2300 RPM you will

be cruising at a safe, calm and fuel-efficient speed. The “most efficient” RPM for the Hino

diesel is 2200 RPM. This RPM will give you the longest range (about 250 nautical miles).

THROTTLES AND SHIFT LEVERS

Gentle positive movement of the throttles and shift levers is required to prevent unusual wear

or damage to the mechanisms. NEVER SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS THE

ENGINES ARE IN IDLE. (ABOUT 600-1000 rpm). ALWAYS PAUSE FOR A MOMENT

IN NEUTRAL POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD.

SPOTLIGHT

There is a remote control spotlight at the bow of the boat that is controlled from the bridge.

The spotlight is on a turntable. Keep the cover on the spotlight when not in use. Remember

to remove the cover prior to use to prevent burning or scorching the cover.

There is a hand held rechargeable spotlight located above the pilot seat. Never use this while

it is being recharged.

ANCHOR LIGHT

The light must be used at night when anchored or tied to a mooring buoy. The switch is

located at both helms.

BELL

The bell is located on the wall to the port side of the sliding entry door.

LIFE RING

The life ring is stored above the batteries. DO NOT USE THE LIFE RING AS A

RECREATIONAL TOY. It is there for emergencies only.

ENGINE ROOM

Do not store propane and or fuel in the engine room or in the cockpit lockers. Excess fumes

may create a fire or an explosion.

TOOL BOX

The tools are for your use so you can make emergency repairs. The tools might be a survival

necessity for the next “LATERISER” user. Please replace tools when through using them.

Please spray a small amount of spray lubricant on any tools that get wet. These tools have

been inventoried and if found missing, any replacement fee will be charged to your account.

SPARE PARTS

You will find large tubs in the engine room or by the generator, with miscellaneous spare

parts such as: oil filters, water pump impellers, a head pump repair kit, and cleaning supply

tools. Please familiarize yourself with all of the parts. They may be helpful to you in case

you need to repair anything.

MEDICAL –FIRST AID KIT

This is located in the cabinet in the master head.

FLARE KIT

This is located to the starboard side of the sliding door.

FLASHLIGHT & BATTERIES

Located in the cabinet beside the electrical distribution panel.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! In the Pacific Northwest waters, drifting debris (deadheads) is

extremely common and much of the debris is large enough to do major damage to moving

boats. Always use extreme caution while underway and be constantly alert for drifting debris

and rocks just below the water’s surface. For this reason and because accidents are much

more likely to occur during times of low visibility, do not travel after dusk, before dawn, or

in the fog!

ALSO, NEVER OPERATE THIS VESSEL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.

To stop the engines, press the engine kill buttons located above the ignition key until the

engine has stopped then turn off the key.
