6 Electrical System OPERATION MANUAL neteau Lazyitis Page 5 Electrical System Lazyitis has ample power with an easy to use 12 volt system with separate power supply for the house and engine. The vessel also utilises 240v shore power when in the marina for battery charging. A 240v battery charger is located in the starboard cockpit locker together with its isolators. The battery switch and anchor winch circuit breaker are located on a panel in the port aft cabin. No battery switches should be touched during charter unless in an emergency or advised to by base. All electrical lights and appliances are controlled from the switches at the main electrical panel. Fuses for each are located behind the electrical panel. The batteries are recharged by the engine and the level of charge is indicated on the gauge on the main electrical panel. Although this provides ample power it is necessary to keep power consumption down by turning off lights or appliances when not in use. Because Lazyitis has a totally separate engine battery system you will always have power to start your engine even when the house batteries are very low. Recharging of the house batteries will take 3 hours and requires nothing more than an engine speed of about 1500 RPM, for an hour in the morning, an hour in the middle of the day and an hour after 3pm. This should keep battery in state of charge between 50% and 90%. If, after 3 hours of engine operation, further recharging is indicated, contact Base. Lazyitis has a separate engine starting battery and normal motoring will be sufficient to recharge it. You should always be able to start your engine to recharge your house batteries. The house batteries are charged by the engine while motoring, running the engine at anchor or by shore power.

7 Electrical System OPERATION MANUAL Page 6 Electrical System Battery Monitor The battery monitor is situated adjacent to the main electrical panel. It shows how much power is left in your house battery. It also shows when you must recharge your battery. When your electrical monitor shows you have consumed 50% of the battery's capacity it is time to recharge. The battery is most efficient when recharged before it passes this level. Any power you use has to be replaced and you should monitor your house battery condition to ensure it is kept charged. Heavy power consumption will require you to replace the power used by running your engine for longer periods. Shore Power When in a marina the 240v shore power lead should be connected to an outlet on the marina and to the vessel inlet in the cockpit locker. Ensure the green warning light on the battery charger is glowing. Circuit breakers for the 240v system are located in the cockpit locker. CD and Radio To operate ensure the VHF/HIFI switch is on. Switchboard VHF Radio and CD/Stereo 12 volt Outlet

8 VHF Radio OPERATION MANUAL Page 7 Radio Lazyitis is equipped with a Raymarine VHF radio. * Ensure the VHF/HIFI switch is on at the main panel. * Turn the radio on, select the channel, and adjust squelch to stop static. * Cumberland will call you at 9.30am and 2.30pm on Channel 81 or 82. At all other times contact base on Channels 81 and 82. * When talking to another vessel use channel 11 (eleven) or 08 (zero eight). * Detailed instructions are on the Cumberland Charter's radio instruction sheet. Radio Schedules Charterers are required to answer twice daily radio schedules on Channel 81 or 82 at 9.30am and 2.30pm. If reception is bad try Channel 82 in northern waters. You must be in contact with base twice daily or you will be liable for search costs involved in trying to find you and your vessel.

9 Page 8 Navigation Instruments Navigation Instruments Lazyitis is equipped with instruments which gives you boat speed, depth of water and wind speed and direction. She is also fitted with a chart plotter. Do not adjust these instruments as damage can occur to sensitive electronics if used incorrectly. There is no need to adjust any settings by using the buttons on the instruments. Note: Never rely solely on the sounder when moving in shallow water or when anchoring. The depth reading on the sounder is depth under the keel - not ahead of you. A crewman should look for coral from the bow and the vessel should manoeuvre very slowly. Remember that the instruments are electronic and incorrect use of buttons can cause false displays or damage.

10 Page 9 Engine Engine Lazyitis is powered by a Yanmar 20HP diesel and cruises at six knots at 1800 revs. One 65 litre fuel tank gives a cruising range of 150 miles or 30 hours running. To Start Engine 1. Select neutral with gear lever in central position. 2. Turn the key clockwise to START. To Engage Gears Move the throttle to central position and red button will automatically pop out. Move the throttle lever forward to forward gear and back for reverse. Always pause at neutral for a few seconds when changing gears. To Stop Engine 1. Select neutral. 2. Press and hold the STOP button until the engines stops. 3. After the engine has stopped and the tachometer has dropped to zero, switch off by turning the key anticlockwise. Checking of oil and coolant in the engines is not necessary during your charter unless a problem occurs. It is a good idea to check there is adequate cooling water coming from the engine exhaust after starting. An audible alarm will sound at the engine control panel if the motor has a fault. If an engine alarm sounds while engine is still running * Stop the engine. * Call Cumberland Base for advice and assistance.

11 Windlass OPERATION MANUAL Page 10 Windlass Lazyitis is fitted with an electric anchor winch, 60 metres of chain and a CQR type anchor. The winch raises the anchor when the UP button is pressed and lowers the anchor when the DOWN button is pressed. Always run the engine when using the winch. The circuit breaker is located in the aft cabin and should be in the ON position. If the winch is overloaded the circuit breaker will trip. Turn the yellow switch through 90 degrees to reset. To Lower The Anchor 1. Select your location from the 100 Magic Miles and check water depth and tidal movement. Stop the vessel with the bow into the wind. 2. Calculate 4 X maximum depth (which is charted depth and overnight high tide). With the tender alongside, press the down button and, while reversing the vessel, lay out the chain. 3. When the required length of chain is released, (minimum 30 metres), allow the vessel to lay into the wind and engage reverse gear and move the vessel back until the anchor is set. 4. If the anchor doesn't hold - let out a further 10 metres of chain and try again. 5. A minimum of 30 metres of chain should be let out at all times. To Lift The Anchor 1. Open anchor locker hatch and make sure the chain doesn't stack up. 2. Motor very slowly forward, so the chain is vertical. Press the UP button. Don't over run the chain and make sure chain comes up vertically. Keep the skipper informed so the vessel moves ahead only as fast as the chain is retrieved. 3. The windlass is designed to lift the weight of the chain and anchor only. Do not overload it by pulling the boat forward. * CAUTION - If the anchor is snagged in rocks or coral and you try to break it free don't let this load go through the winch. Use the snubber or secure the chain to the main bollard. * Ensure the chain is falling into locker easily. If the chain stacks up you will have to rectify the situation. * Always leave the chain slightly loose and don't snub the anchor hard onto the roller to avoid overloading the windlass. WARNING When using a windlass, it is important to keep your fingers and toes well away from the teeth of the windlass and the chain as it passes over the bow roller, as accidentally trapping them could cause serious injury. Keep your fingers and toes away from the chain as it passes over the bow roller.

12 Page 11 Windlass Emergency Manual Anchoring ONLY To Release Chain Carefully release the gypsy by turning it anti-clockwise with the winch handle. As soon as the gypsy is free the chain will run out so do this slowly. Do not touch the deck switches and keep your fingers away from the winch. If the gypsy does not release it might need a gentle tap to break it free. You could also manually pull the anchor forward and lower it into the water for a few metres. * Once the anchor is falling freely regulate its descent by tightening the gypsy with the handle. * Check the 10 metre chain markers after 30 metres to ensure you let out four times the depth of water in chain. (15 metres depth is your maximum for anchoring). * Move the vessel slowly astern downwind as the anchor chain goes out. * When you have enough chain out tighten the gypsy to stop the chain. * When the anchor is set attach the bridle and let out the chain so it takes the load. * Retighten the gypsy. CAUTION - Do not overtighten the gypsy. Use only one hand on the handle and about 10 kilograms force. If it slips tighten it slightly.

13 Mooring Procedures Public Moorings OPERATION MANUAL Page 12 Moorings When approaching a public mooring position the vessel so that its down wind of the mooring and approach with the wind directly on the bow. Station a crew member on the bow with the boat hook and when the vessel is in position the crew member can pick up the mooring line with the boat hook. The helmsman should take directions from the crew member when approaching the mooring. Feed the mooring line over the bow using a spare roller where fitted and attach it to the largest cleat available. Mooring lines should not be attached to the anchor winch and any bridle or snubber fitted to the vessel should not be used when mooring. If spending the night on a mooring use one of the vessel s mooring lines to secure the public mooring line. When releasing moorings the vessel should be reversed until clear of the mooring bouy and rope. Remember to have the dinghy alongside during this manoeuvre. Public Mooring Cumberland/Other Mooring Cumberland and Other types of Moorings The procedure for using these moorings is the same as public mooring except that they are fitted with a smaller pickup bouy which is attached to the main mooring chain. Pickup the small bouy and haul the chain onboard and attach this to the cleat.

14 Page 13 - Refrigeration Refrigeration Lazyitis has a 12 volt electric chest fridge, which is powered from the normal engine operation and battery charging. The diesel motor must be run at least three hours each day to charge the house battery system. Fridge To operate ensure the switch marked FRIDGE is turned on at the electrical panel. Make sure you replace power used by running the diesel motor or plugging into shore power when you visit Hamilton Island or Abel Point Marina. If your house battery is very low it is best to turn the fridge off while recharging for a faster recharge. Do not turn the thermostat up fully as this will cause the refrigeration to run all the time and flatten your batteries. Position 5 to 6 is a suitable setting. Fridge

15 Stove and BBQ OPERATION MANUAL Page 14 Stove and BBQ Lazyitis has a gas stove with an oven and a cockpit BBQ supplied from a gas bottle in the aft cockpit locker. As a safety precaution the gas supply should always be turned off at the bottle when not in use. BBQ To light the BBQ turn on the gas bottle valve, open the shut off valve on the line between the deck fitting and the bbq, press the control knob on the BBQ in and turn anti-clockwise. At the same time insert the BBQ lighter through the hole and light the BBQ. Alternatively the plate can be lifted out for access to the burner. The valve opens fully as soon as it starts to turn. Turn it fully anticlockwise for low heat. Please do not overheat it by setting BBQ at high without food on it. Stove Lazyitis is equipped with a two burner gas stove and oven. To Light Burners 1. Press the burner control knob in and turn anti clockwise a quarter of a turn. 2. While holding the control knob in, ignite gas with the flint gun. 3. Once lit, hold the knob in for five seconds to warm the fail-safe unit. If the burner goes out - repeat the procedure. LPG Bottle The bottle has enough gas to easily last your charter. Refilling it in mid charter is not necessary.

16 Fresh Water OPERATION MANUAL Page 15 Fresh Water, Showers and Hot Water Lazyitis has a 310 litre freshwater capacity for domestic services. There is a 160 litre forward tank under the berth in the forward cabin and 150 litre tank located in the cockpit locker under the aft shelf. There is also a 20 litre jerry can of spare water in the cockpit locker. The pressure pump and changeover valves are located behind the starboard saloon seat. Don't have more than one tank open at the same time. The change over valve is a Y fitting with a valve in each leg, one should be on (in line with the pipe) and the other should be off (at 90 degrees to the pipe). When the on tank runs out reverse the position of the valves and purge the air from the system by opening the taps and running the pump until you have a solid stream of water. Ensure the pressure pump stops when the taps are turned off. If both tanks run out do not let the pressure pump run dry as it will be damage turn it off at the switchboard. Deck filler caps for each tank are located on the port side and on the starboard transom side. Fill them slowly. The water tank in the cockpit locker is a collapsible plastic bladder and will lift the shelf if overfilled. Showers Lazyitis has two showers, one in the bathroom and a deck shower on the transom. Deck Shower To operate ensure the WATER PUMP switch is on at the switchboard. When finished - turn everything off again. Hot Water Service The hot water service is located in the cockpit locker. The engine heats up your hot water and stores it here warm for up to 12 hours.

17 Page 16 Toilet and Holding Tank Toilet and Holding Tank Lazyitis has a manual toilet and a MACERATING pump which is permanently connected to a holding tank. Toilet waste is treated by maceration when you empty the tank. IMPORTANT! When you are visiting a MARINE PARK B zone (Green Zone) or a Marina you must not discharge even treated waste from the toilet. To comply with government regulations do not operate the macerating pump. When you depart the GREEN ZONE or marina turn the pump on until the gauge shows empty. The switch and gauge are located adjacent to the toilet. The holding tank has a limited capacity and is only designed to hold waste generated over a 24 hour period. It therefore needs to be emptied regularly. Switch and Gauge Only human waste and toilet paper can be put in the toilet. Sanitary pads, tampons or panty liners etc. Baby Wipes. Washing cloths. ALL of these waste items must be disposed of in the rubbish as they will block and damage the system. Ensure all crew-members know how to use the toilet properly because a blocked toilet can spoil your holiday!! Operation 1. Before operating do the following. 2. Pump a few times to introduce water and wet the bowl. After using toilet 1. Pump 20 times. 2. Check the holding tank gauge and if showing more than half full empty the tank by turning the pump on. If the toilet is blocked - call Cumberland Charter Yachts. If the toilet is blocked during charter as a result of misuse, there will be a charge to get the blockage cleaned out.

18 Page 17 Bilge Pumps Bilge Pumps Electric System Lazyitis has an easy to use system of 12 volt bilge pumps. The electric pump is located under the floor in the saloon and is operated by the BILGE PUMP switch on the switchboard. Leaving the BILGE PUMP switch on in the MANUAL position will burn the pump out if it is run dry for an extended period. The BILGE PUMP switch should be left in the AUTO position. There is an automatic float switch to operate a high level water alarm. There is also one manual pump located in the cockpit. Manual System The manual pump is situated in the cockpit. The pump handle is located in the cockpit locker, adjacent to the pump. The manual pump needs to be operated quickly for at least 30 seconds to prime the pumps and purge the air. Once the pump starts to suck water the action can be slow and steady. Shower Bilge The shower bilge pump is connected to the WATER PUMP switch. When using the shower, press the black button in the shower compartment. This will operate the shower bilge pump and ensure the shower water is pumped away. Do not allow shower water to accumulate above the floor level.

19 Manoeuvring and Steering OPERATION MANUAL Page 18 Manoeuvring and Steering Lazyitis steers easily at idle speed in forward gear. When moving astern the yacht will move to starboard before it responds to the rudder when you reach 2 knots. When engaging reverse PAUSE before using revs so reverse lock engages properly. Always ensure the tender is alongside and secured fore and aft when manoeuvring. Or if moving astern trail it from the bow. The best place to learn how your vessel manoeuvres is when you have plenty of space at an anchorage. Familiarise yourself there before entering a marina. Engage reverse and test the vessel's response when it reaches 2 to 3 knots. Before you approach a berth have your fenders down, almost touching the water. In strong winds use extreme care when moving to a marina berth. Don't reverse into a berth. Approach the dock slowly but ensure you are moving steadily to retain good steerage. Make sure you know which side of the dock you will be tying up to. Don't be afraid to ask marina staff for assistance if required. The tender can be used as propulsion for the vessel if you need to manoeuvre or the main engine has run out of fuel or failed. Tie the tender securely fore and aft and have a crewmember operate the outboard to the skipper's instructions. Make sure the outboard is in the locked down position so you can use it in reverse. THIS IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY AND CAN ONLY BE DONE IF INSTRUCTED BY CCY BASE.

20 Page 19 Sails Sails Lazyitis has a roller furling headsail and a slab reef mainsail. the wind when raising or lowering the mainsail. Always head into Headsail To set the headsail - 1. Release furling line at jammer. 2. Pull on the headsail sheet rope to unfurl line. 3. Lock off furling rope cleat when you have set enough headsail. 4. To furl sail away - release tension on sheet rope and pull the smaller furling rope. Lock off cleat when sail is fully rolled in. When furling the headsail head off the wind to stop the sail from flogging. Never use a winch on furling lines as damage to the forestay may result. Never release tension on mast headsail halyard which is secured with plastic ties. This is only released when removing the sail for maintenance. Close hatches when sailing to avoid damage if a rope catches on hatch. Mainsail Lazyitis's mainsail should be reduced to the first reef point when winds reach a constant 15 knots on the wind instrument and on the second reef point when the wind reaches a constant 20 knots. Do not use the mainsail if the winds exceed 30 knots. In heavy weather conditions it is best to motor or motor/sail with a minimum amount of headsail. To Raise the Mainsail 1. Unclip the mainsail cover. 2. Move vessel slowly straight into the wind by using the motor. 3. Release the mainsail sheet rope in the cockpit. 4. Raise the mainsail by pulling on the mainsail halyard by hand. If using the winch make sure the sail does not jam in the track or on the lazy jacks. To Reef the Mainsail 1. Steer the vessel into the wind and ease the mainsheet. 2. Raise or lower the mainsail so that the first reefing block at the front of the sail is just above the sail cover. Cleat the halyard. 3. Tension down the first reefing line using the winch until the aft block is at the same level as the front block. 4. Use the same procedure for the second reefing point. To Lower the Mainsail 1. Steer the vessel into the wind and release mainsheet. Release the halyard to drop mainsail. Most of the mainsail should fall into the sail cover and the rest can be pushed in by hand. Using the motor will assist you in steering into the wind. Clip up the mainsail cover.

21 Tender and Outboard OPERATION MANUAL Page 20 Tender and Outboard Lazyitis has a Swift tender powered by a 6hp Yamaha Outboard. To Start Motor 1. Lift motor slightly and release tilt lock on the rear starboard side of the motor and lower outboard into the water. 2. Prime the squeeze bulb in fuel line if necessary until it is hard. 3. Pull out the choke knob when the motor is cold. 4. Ensure gear lever is in the central or neutral position. 5. Twist throttle handle 10 degrees to low throttle setting. 6. Pull starter cord. Push choke in as soon as motor starts. Do not continue to pull starter cord with the choke out. To engage gears move gear lever forward or back at low idle revs. To stop outboard press red button. It is easier to operate the motor with left arm. Always have tender alongside for easy access when manoeuvring or anchoring. Have the tender behind the vessel at full length ONLY when underway. Outboard The Yamaha outboard has a rubber bushed propellor which will shear if the propeller hits a rock or coral. You should therefore exercise due caution when operating in shallow water. It is best to stop the outboard, tilt it up and proceed with the paddles.

22 Page 21 Tender and Outboard Tender The inflatable is also a liferaft for Lazyitis. It has separate bladders in each side, with air filler caps should they require refilling. The air pump is in the cockpit locker. Do not over inflate. If the hulls are inflated with cold air at night they will expand in the heat of the day. When opening the valve caps always ensure the plastic surround does not turn. If this is loose a washer inside the hull can be displaced, causing loss of pressure. If your tender deflates contact Base because further use will puncture the bladder and cause further damage. Similar to Lazyitis Dinghy

23 Emergency Procedures OPERATION MANUAL Page 22 Emergency Procedures Lazyitis has a number of safety features which include: Liferaft The inflatable is also your liferaft. Handheld flares and other liferaft emergency equipment are stowed under the centre seat. Lifejackets Are stowed under the seats. Safety Equipment Flares, V-Sheet etc. are stowed in the cockpit. Fire Extinguishers Two dry chemical type on board. One is located in a cupboard in the aft cabin and one in the forward cabin. Fuel Shut-Off Is located in the port aft cabin and must be closed if there is a fire in the engine room. The engine room air vents are on the transom and must be blocked in the case of fire in the engine room. Finally there are battery isolator switches located in the aft cabin. Turn these switches off ONLY in an emergency.
