BOAT OPERATION

Engine Inspection

Remember your “WOBBS” every morning. (Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and

Pump-out), Belts, and Sea Strainer. Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion

tank. Check the level of your engine oil with the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL! Fill

only if oil level is below the ½ mark. Check the general condition of the hoses and

belts.

Ensure the RAW WATER THRU-HULL is OPEN! (Lever in-line with valve). Check the

sea strainer for debris. If necessary, close the thru-hull, open the strainer lid, clean

out debris, and reassemble. REOPEN the Thru-hull!

Start Up

Maggie has a 40 hp Yanmar engine with a 3 bladed prop. There is an ignition,

throttle and transmission control in the cockpit. The vessel cruises at 2400 rpms to

a speed of 7 knots; running your engine much above that will burn a lot more diesel

at the gain of very little boat speed.

The boat has a definite prop walk to port in reverse with not too much noticeable

effect in forward. When in reverse, be careful to keep a firm grip on the wheel. Use

only low RPMs in reverse.

To start engine, set the battery selector switch to the number 1 position. Place

transmission in the neutral position (usually straight up). If the engine is cold, first

preheat it by turning key in preheat position for about 15 seconds. Your oil and

temperature alarm will sound. Push the starter button (or turn the key all the way

over). After the engine starts, warm it up for about 5 minutes at about 1000 rpms.

Check the transom for water and exhaust as an indication that your thru-hull is open

and water is keeping your engine cool.

Do not hold the start button for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does

not catch the first time, wait about 15 seconds before trying again.

After the engine starts, warm it up at about 1000 rpms for about 5 minutes.

Observe your gauge readings. Oil pressure reads around 50 psi and water temp

around 180 degrees. Engine temperature should rise very slowly.

Note: If water temp.is high or oil pressure low, shut down engine and look for

problems. Was there a lack of water exiting with exhaust? Are thru-hulls open and

debris cleared from sea-strainer? If problem keeps occurring, call SHYC Service.

Shut Down

Before shutting down, let engine idle for about 5 minutes to cool. Ensure the

gearshift is in the neutral position and the throttle is in idle. Turn off the engine with

the key.

Getting Underway

Disconnect the shore power cord (see AC Power next page). Close portholes,

windows, and hatches. Turn on VHF and electronics. Assign crew members to their

tasks. Put one crew member (the “dingiest” member of course!) in charge of the

dinghy if it is under tow. It needs to be kept on a tight leash when in the marina.

Once outside marina, have crew members bring in fenders and put lines away.

Cruising

Slowly come up to cruising speed of 2400 rpms where you will cruise at approx. 7

knots, using only 1/2 gallons of diesel/hour. Using excessive rpms will only give you

a ½ knot of speed and will only damage the engine. Speed will vary depending on

weight, load, and weather conditions

Docking

During docking, give clear instructions to the crew on what you will expect of them

i.e. with lines and fenders. Always come into the dock slowly allowing for any wind

or tide. If you have a choice, dock on the port side, because as you put the

transmission in reverse she will pull to port; sucking you in closer to the dock.

Have the bow, stern and spring lines ready. If you are short on crew, lead the lines

to the mid section of the boat (where it is fattest) where your crew member can

easily step off with one of the lines, secure it, and quickly grab the next one.

As you are approaching the dock, have your crew call out distances to the captain

(i.e. 20 feet, 10 feet, 3 feet etc.). This will help with a successful landing.

If you find you are too far from the dock, DO NOT have your crew jump!Back out

and do it again. Disaster will follow if someone falls in the water.

Fueling Up

You will need to fill up upon completion of your charter. Your fuel tank holds 34

gallons. You should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need to add

to your tank.

Open the fuel filler cap located on the transom with the key located in the Nav

station or a winch handle. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DIESEL! Make sure it is going into

the right deck fill! DOUBLE-CHECK! Before pumping, have your oil/fuel sorb ready

to soak up any spilled fuel. Do not add water at the same time.

Put the Diesel nozzle into the deck fitting and pump slowly listening to the sound of

the flow. Pumping too fast may not allow excess air to escape, which will lead to

spillage out the vent. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay

attention to the vent that it does not spill fuel into the water. Top off carefully,

catching any spillage with your sorb.

Check your gauges. Replace the deck fill caps and clean up any spatter and wash

hands thoroughly.

BOAT ELECTRICAL

The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110 volt or AC and 12

volt or DC. The systems are controlled from the electrical panel located at the Nav

station and the battery switches located in the starboard stateroom.

When not connected to shore power your batteries provide most of your electrical

power. Therefore the use of onboard electricity needs to be monitored very

carefully. Turn off electrical devices when they are not being used (lights,

instruments, etc.)

110 Volt or AC (Alternating Current)

Shore Power supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board as well as the

battery charger.

To connect to shore power plug the power cord into the boat and then into the dock

receptacle. Check your power rating/plug size of the dock receptacle (i.e. 30amp,

20amp etc.) Secure the cord around the shore power electrical receptacle and off the

bow (i.e. wrap around bowline a few times) turn the dock power breaker on. There

is a fault breaker in the port aft cockpit locker.

On the boat, turn the shore circuit breaker on at the electrical panel. Turn on

appropriate breakers for battery charger, etc. Watch your voltmeter for load. If the

load exceeds the voltage, it will pop the breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on one

of your systems (i.e. water heater) until the use of power decreases.

Inverter

The Inverter is powered by the house batteries. The amount of DC power is limited

to the capacity of these batteries so use it very sparingly!!! This means use the

inverter to charge your cell phone batteries or computers.

When connected to shore power, your battery charger will recharge all the 12-volt

start and house batteries. Should you detect the charger is failing to charge the

batteries, check the circuit breaker on the AC panel to make certain that it is on.

House 12-volt System

Two battery banks support your 12 volt system: #1 Engine Start and #2 House

battery and are located under the port stateroom bed. Normally you will leave the

switches on while running.

When anchored or moored, turn off the #1 battery. Turn switch to the horizontal

position. Note: Changing the position of the battery switches with the engine

running will cause damage! Only change positions with the engine off!

Your 12 volt panel shows all the systems supported by your batteries. Primarily you

will be turning on these breakers for lights, water pressure, electronics, etc. Bilge

pumps will always be left on. Your breaker for the propane and should be turned off

after every use.

When disconnected from shore power, the 12–volt systems will drain the battery

especially when at anchor. Monitor your batteries very carefully. The DC voltmeter

on the DC panel can be switched between your battery banks to measure battery

voltage. Typically the bank should read from about 13.0 to 14.5 volts when being

charged. While at rest your voltage will drop as indicated in the figures below.

All your batteries are charged while underway by the alternator. The engine and

house batteries are charged by the battery charger while connected to shore power.

Ensure that the charger is on.

Voltage Battery State of Charge

12.65 volts 100% 12.25 volts 50 %

12.47 volts 75 %11.95 volts 25 %

11.70 volts 0 %

SANITATION SYSTEM

Marine Toilet

It is imperative that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of a

marine head. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and will clog easily. If the

head gets clogged, it is your responsibility! Always pump the head for small children

so you can be certain of what is being flushed. Note: Never put in paper towels,

napkins, sanitary products, household T.P., or food into marine heads. Use only

marine T.P. provided by SHYC.

To use toilet, move selector switch to the “wet bowl”position. Pump the handle 3-5

times to wet the bowl. After using head, pump to remove waste from bowl (approx.

10 times). Then return selector back to “dry bowl”position and pump for a few

times until bowl is dry.

Should the toilet squeak or be a bit sticky to pump, lubricate with a couple of squirts

of dish soap or salad oil. Put in bowl and pump 2-3 times to get it to pump and

leave overnight. Again, leave in the “dry bowl” position.

Holding Tanks

The forward holding tank holds 18 gal. It can be emptied either through the deck

fitting or macerator. The aft sanitation holding tank holds 15 gallons. This tank can

be emptied either through the deck fitting or by opening the thru hull fitting located

at the back of the toilet to allow gravity to empty the tank. Be aware of the rate of

waste production (about 1 gallon/flush). If you overfill your tank, you will break a

hose, clog a vent or burst the tank. Which are an indescribable catastrophe and a

very expensive fix for you. Empty the tanks at least every other day to avoid any

problems.

WATER SYSTEM

Fresh Water Tank/ Pump/ Hot Water Heater

The fresh water tank(s) holds 100 gallons and are located under the beds. Waste

water from the sinks and showers drains overboard through various thru-hulls

usually located under the sinks. A manifold to switch tanks is located at the back of

the settee starboard side.

The water pressure pump is located behind the settee. Activate the pump by turning

on the breaker at the DC panel. If when in use, the pump continues to run, you are

either out of water or have an air lock which can be corrected by opening a faucet.

If you run out of water, shut off pump and turn off hot water heater on AC panel.

You can cause serious damage to the heating element.

The hot water heater has a 10 gallon capacity. It is heated when the AC breaker is

on while connected to shore power or when the ships engine is running. Do not use

the water heater if the water level is low.

Shower

Before taking a shower, make sure the water pressure and shower sump pump

breakers are on. Take short “boat” showers by turning off the water between

soaping and rinsing. Please wipe down the shower stall and floor when finished to

keep shower tidy. Pick up any accumulation of hair in the drains as it clogs the

hoses. Ensure that the faucets are tightly turned off after each shower to save

water. There is also a transom shower.

GALLEY

Propane Stove

The boat is equipped with a pressurized propane system for cooking. The propane

tank is located starboard aft cockpit locker.Open the tank valve.Then turn on the

propane solenoid switch in the galley. When lighting the first time, allow a few

seconds for the gas to travel from the tank to the stove. You might need to keep the

stove top or the oven in the light position for a few more seconds while the thermo-

coupler warms up.

To ensure safety, turn off the propane solenoid switch, the propane at the bottle,

and the DC breaker when finished.

Refrigerator

The refrigerator operates on 12 volt. Carefully monitor the use of the refrigerator

when the engine is not charging the 12-volt system as when you are at anchor.

SHYC will supplement you with a block of ice. Keep the fridge off at night! Use a

cooler when possible for all your drinks to keep the refrigerator door closed as much

as possible. The fridge pump-out switch is located just under sink.

HEAT

The Webasto diesel forced-air heater is located in the aft storage locker. It provides

heat much like your household furnace. Turn on the toggle switch in the main salon

and set the temperature at the desired temperature. Check the exhaust port on the

port midships to make certain that no obstruction, such as a fender or line exists.

Let the furnace run at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn the furnace off

back at the thermostat.

Electric heaters are also available when connected to shore power or when using the

generator. Make sure the appropriate AC breaker is on.

ELECTRONICS

There is a Standard VHF radio located in the Nav Station with a remote for the

binnacle. Make sure the breaker is on at the DC Panel (electronics). Always monitor

Channel 16 while underway.

There is an Autohelm Tridata depth sounder located on the binnacle. To activate,

ensure that the DC breaker is on. The sounder is reliable in waters less then 200 feet

and at slower speeds. If your reading is blinking, it might be a false reading due to

excessive depths or strong currents! Watch your depth carefully in cruising unknown

waters that might have rocks or obstacles.

The Raymarine Chart Plotter, Autopilot and Wind Instruments are located in the

cockpit.

There is a stereo at the Nav Station with a CD changer.

ANCHORING

Your primary working anchor, a 35 lb plow, is attached to 200 of chain. It is marked

every 25 feet.

Turn on the anchor windlass on the AC panel and proceed to raise and lower the

anchor as needed. Be sure to always have your engine running. See page 11 in the

White Binder for further anchoring instructions.

Turn off the breaker when finished.

SAILS AND RIGGING

There is a 120%genoa on a roller furler. The furling line runs on the starboard side

to the cockpit. To unfurl the headsail:

1. Uncleat the furling lines

2. Wrap the sheet around the appropriate winch

3. Pull the sheet aft while applying some tension to the furling line

4. Cleat when it is fully out or when to point of appropriate reef

To furl the jib, apply slight tension on the jib sheet while pulling in the furling line

until there are 2-3 wraps of the sheet around sail. Jib sheets are led back to the

cockpit to two winches. Adjust fairleads forward in heavy air, aft in light wind.

The Mainsail is fully battened with lazy jacks and stored on the boom in the sail bag.

Jib sheets, reefing lines, halyards and traveler are all lead back to the cockpit. There

is a solid boom vang. Please use the topping lift located at the mast to raise the

boom to its usual position after sailing.

BARBEQUE

The Barbeque and mounting bracket are stored in the cockpit locker or on the aft

rail. Attach the propane bottle and regulator when ready to use, usually found with

the BBQ. Carefully light the unit. This Barbeque cooks fairly hot and fast so keep a

good eye on your food.

DINGHY AND OUTBOARD MOTOR

Your 10.6’ West Marine dingy is equipped with a 3.5 hp engine. If not on the dinghy

it is stored on the rail bracket.

After the dinghy is in the water and readied to go (PFDs etc), open the vent in the

fuel tank and choke the engine once while starting. Make sure outboard is in

neutral.

Please use extreme care in beaching your dinghy. Make sure the engine gets tilted

up a safe distance from shore so the prop does not hit the bottom or shear the pin.

Do not drag the boat on the beach. Please lift it up with your crew. Make sure it is

secured as the tide comes in fast in these here parts.

OTHER NOTES

Safety should be paramount to your daily cruising. A man overboard drill should be

discussed and practiced with an unlucky PFD as the victim. (Please rinse and dry

afterward before stowing). Remember that your lifejackets are stowed in the salon.

A few should always be readily available. Flares and other safety equipment are

located in the salon.

Always have a sharp lookout posted for logs, deadheads, or other flotsam and

jetsam. A log hitting your prop can ruin your vacation. As you are traveling, the

debris does seem to gather along current lines. It is sometimes best to go around

these areas and miss the “mine fields”.

MAGGIE is equipped with numerous automatic bilges pumps that can be activated on

the DC panel. The switch should normally be left in the “Auto” position can be

switched for a minute or so to “manual” to pump the bilge. If you continually hear

the bilge pump running, check your bilge! You may have a serious problem!

An auxiliary hand-operated bilge pump is located in the cockpit.

The engine spares are located in the nav bench. They include extra oil filters,

impellers, head pump, etc. Extra oil and coolant is located in the cockpit lockers.

Crabbing is fun but requires the correct license and season. Please be sure not to

crab off the stern as the crab line can easily get tangled in your prop as you swing

with wind or current. You certainly don’t want to be the person who has to dive over

and cut the line out of the propeller. It is best to use the dinghy to set your crab

pot/ring away from the boat. A partially open can of seafood catfood works well as

any other bait and is less messy. Please clean up any seaweed of crab shells

afterwards to keep the boat neat and tidy.
