4 Engine Room 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 tanks located in the engine room on the forward end of each engine. Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks located on the inboard side of each engine. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL! Only fill if oil levels are below the ½ way mark. Ask your fleet captain at checkout if you have any questions about the markings on dipsticks. Please use a paper towel or oil rag, not the dish towels! Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES. Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the open position (lever in-line with valve). (Note: The port engine seacock is located on the outboard aft end of the engine. Observe the glass of each RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. Shining a flashlight thru the strainer often helps see debris. If necessary, close the seacock, open the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock. Confirm water flow from exhaust(s) Check your transmission and generator fluids as well. 4

5 Start-Up Before starting the engines, do your inspection. Ensure THROTTLE / GEARSHIFTS are in the NEUTRAL IDLE position as shown in the picture. Insert both keys into the IGNITION SWITCHES. plan to start the Starboard engine first. Turn the key clockwise partially until the ENGINE ALARM sounds. Wait until the voltage gage needle ticks up a couple volts indicating the engine pre-heater has shut off (about seconds) Rotate the key fully clockwise to engage the engine. If the engine cranks slowly or fails to turn over, check the condition of the battery. If the battery is low, make sure the battery chargers are turned on at the 110 AC panel. If you are on the anchor or away from shore power, start the generator and charge start batteries using the generator. Pull the starboard THROTTLE / GEARSHIFT lever outward (keeping the transmission in neutral) and advance the throttle to 700 rpm. Repeat starting process for port engine. Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure will register above 55 PSI when the engine is cold. The engine temperature gauge will take several minutes to rise slowly. Make sure water is flowing from the exhaust on both sides. RUN ALL 4 BILGE BLOWERS WHEN UNDERWAY TO PROVIDE AMPLE AIR TO THE MAIN ENGINES. Warm the engines for about 5 minutes. Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for possible cause (for example, loss of oil.) Caution -- If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is open (handle in-line with valve). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris. Remove the strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the raw water intake valve (seacock). Restart the engine and re-check water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER PUMP may need to be serviced. Seek help. 5

6 Shut-Down Before shutting down, allow the engines to idle for about 5 minutes to cool them gradually and uniformly. The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is usually sufficient. Ensure each THROTTLE / GEARSHIFT is in the NEUTRAL IDLE position. Turn off engines by rotating keys counterclockwise. Getting Underway ENSURE PRE-DEPARTURE CHECKLIST HAS BEEN PERFORMED AS REQUIRED. Ensure TRIM TAB switches are in the BOW UP position. (rock TRIM TAB switches to BOW UP and hold for 8 to 10 seconds if unsure) ACTIVATE BOW THRUSTER. Check wind speed / direction, adjust planned dock line release sequence if necessary. Review departure plan with crew one last time and ensure crewmembers are ready. Center the WHEEL (e.g. rudders straight) and use only the THROTTLE / GEARSHIFTS to maneuver the boat. Captain should be standing on the right side at the helm with hands on the THROTTLE / GEARSHIFTS while maneuvering inside the marina! Once outside the marina, idle the engines while crew brings in fenders and lines. Always have someone assigned to watch for traffic and obstacles! Cruising Check gauges. Ensure each THROTTLE / GEARSHIFT is in the NEUTRAL IDLE position. Increase throttles to 1200 RPM. To bring vessel up on step to cruising configuration, DELIBERATELY increase the throttles up to 2400 to 2500 RPM (do not exceed 2500 RPM) Once the vessel is on step reduce throttles to 2250 RPM. Rock TRIM TAB switches BOW DOWN as needed. (Full bow down position takes about 8-10 seconds) Wake should look like picture below: If wake does not look like picture above and water is roiling over the swim platform, reduce throttles back to 1200 RPM and repeat procedure above. (Especially with vessel fully loaded and full fuel tanks, deliberate advancing of throttles is required to bring vessel out of the hole ) Maximum cruising is 2400 RPM. If you run at 2250 RPM you will cruise at knots and use only about 10 gallons of diesel per hour. Your speed will vary depending upon the weight and load and weather conditions. Note -- Avoid higher engine speeds as it causes higher engine temperature, possible damage, and higher fuel consumption. In general, lower RPMs result in much improved fuel economy. 6

7 Docking Prior to docking, rock TRIM TAB switches to BOW UP position (8 to 10 seconds) have your crew make ready the lines and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking. Center the WHEEL (e.g. rudders straight) and use only the THROTTLE / GEARSHIFTS to maneuver the boat. Captain should be standing on the right side at the helm with hands on the THROTTLE / GEARSHIFTS while maneuvering inside the marina! ACTIVATE BOW THRUSTER. Your crew will need to step off from the swim step with the stern line. Another crew member will need to be at the bow or mid-ships to hand over the next lines. The bow thruster may be engaged in short bursts to hold the bow against the dock while lines are put on the dock. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF BETWEEN THE BOAT AND THE DOCK OR A PILING! Fueling Up OPEN FILLER CAP(S) located port and starboard just ahead of cockpit. Open with the DECK FITTING KEY which is kept in the cabinet on the port side of the cockpit. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! MAKE SURE IT IS GOING INTO THE RIGHT DECK FILL! DOUBLE-CHECK! TRIPLE-CHECK! Before pumping, have an oil/fuel sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel. Locate fuel vents if possible to listen for tank becoming full and to know where sorbs may be needed. You should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need by the engine hour indicator. Also periodically have someone turn on the key to watch the fuel gauge or station a person by tank site glasses to watch fueling progress. Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note the sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from the tank opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the hull near the tank opening. The sound may indicate that the tank is nearly full. Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Spillage may result in a nasty fine from law enforcement. Replace each tank cap. Turn on blower before starting engines. Caution -- Clean up splatter and spillage immediately for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly. BOAT ELECTRICAL The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC. The systems are controlled from the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL located aft salon starboard side, the DC AUXILIARY PANEL located aft salon port side and the BATTERY SWITCHES located aft salon starboard side. When not connected to shore power, batteries are providing all power. Therefore, monitor the use of battery levels carefully with your volt meter located on the DC panel in the salon. How much electricity is being drawn from the batteries can be monitored on the ampere meter located on the DC panel in the salon. Turn off electrical devices that are not needed. 7

8 Most breakers are labeled by colored dots. Green signifies usually on. Yellow signifies As needed. Note* The is also an auxiliary breaker panel located in the engine room starboard aft position, pictured here: 110-Volt AC System 8

9 SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers. To connect to shore power, plug the 30-amp POWER CORD into the boat and then into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER located on the bridge under the seat. Turn the dock power on. Cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bow line or bow rail. At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 ON. Check for reverse polarity. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery charger, refrigeration, water heater, and Air Conditioner/Heater. Watch you amp meter for load. If the load exceeds amperage, you will pop your breaker. If this occurs, turn off some items (e.g. water heater) and wait to turn on one of your systems until your use of electricity drops. If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped. Be aware that one GFI breaker may supply plug-ins in several areas. Generator The Generator is located in the engine room, center aft. (Pictured here with cover off) To start the GENERATOR, first check that your generator s fluids are topped off and the raw water intake is open. At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 OFF. Turn off individual AC breakers as necessary. Move both SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKER COVERS to the UP position, exposing the GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS. The generator controls are located on the upper left corner of the DC Panel in the salon. Hold the switch in the DOWN position for 15 seconds to pre-heat. Move the switch in the UP position to start. (Note* there is a 15 second delay before the starter will engage. This is normal.) 9

10 After generator is running, flip the GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 ON. The green light will illumine on the panel. Then turn on AC systems as you would on shore power one system at a time. To turn the generator off, first take off the load by turning off AC breakers. Then flip the GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1 & 2 OFF. Lastly kill the generator by switching generator switch to off until it dies. House (12-volt) System 5 battery banks support 12-volt DC power: 1) port engine battery 2) starboard engine battery 3) house battery bank 4) Generator battery 6) Bow/stern thruster battery. No battery switches should need to be changed. Your 12 volt panel shows all the systems supported by your batteries. Primarily you will be turning on the breakers for your lights, water pressure, electronics, etc. Bilge pumps should always be left on. House Battery Bank & Switch 10

11 The HOUSE BATTERY BANK provides power for all DC systems, except the engines, the bow thruster, and the automatic bilge pumps. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices drain the house battery. Use devices as needed. When a battery bank is being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts depending upon state-of-charge of the battery bank. When the battery bank is at rest, (that is, not being charged), the voltmeter can give a rough indication of the state-of-charge of the battery bank. House and Start batteries are charged by the engine ALTERNATORS while underway. The engine/house batteries are also charged by the BATTERY CHARGER when connected to shore power. Ensure the Battery Charger breakers at the electrical panel are ON. The GENERATOR will also charge the batteries. SANITATION SYSTEM 11

12 Marine Toilet It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the MARINE TOILET. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR RESONSIBILITY! Always pump the head for children, so you can make sure nothing foreign is being flushed. Caution Never put paper towels, tampons, Kleenex, sanitary napkins, household toilet paper, or food into the marine toilet. Use only the special dissolving marine toilet tissue provided by AYC. To use the toilet, make sure the toilet breaker is on at the DC panel. To add water to the bowl, put your toe under the foot pedal located on the side of the toilet. After using the toilet, depress the foot pedal for 3-5 seconds to clear the bowl and the line to the holding tank. Holding Tanks The sanitation WASTE HOLDING TANKS hold approximately 75 gallons (37.5 per tank). Be aware of the rate of waste production. (about 1 gallon per flush) With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent, or burst the tank. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and an EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid this problem. Flushing a few ounces of AYC provided deodorizer will help eliminate odors. The PORT WASTE HOLDING TANK is located on the port side of the forward engine compartment. The STARBOARD WASTE HOLDING TANK is located on the starboard side of the forward engine compartment. There is a tank watch level gauge located inside the medicine cabinet in each head. Do not blindly rely upon this only as they often get clogged. Paying attention to the general number of flushes is best. The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways: #1 At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located underneath the bulwark doors located just ahead of the cockpit doors that go alongside the boat port and starboard. Insert the pump-out 12

13 nozzle into the waste opening. Hold nozzle firmly against the deck fitting to ensure a tight seal. Turn on pump and open valve located on handle. When pumping is finished, close lever on handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck fitting. If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank. Then repump to leave the tank rinsed for the next charter. This also eliminates head odors. #2 The tank s contents can be discharged with the OB MACERATOR only in Canadian waters. To operate the macerator, confirm the overboard discharge valve is open. It is located on the port side in the engine room forward of the port engine. Push the Waste Pump breaker on the DC electrical panel. Listen to the macerator s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Discharge may be observed on the port side. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank. Fresh Water Tank(s) WATER SYSTEM The FRESH WATER TANK(S) hold 95 gallons. Observe the water level by turning on the Water Monitor breaker on the DC panel. Waste water from the sinks and showers drains into a sump box and is then pumped overboard automatically. Ensure the Sump Pump breaker is turned on. To refill the tanks, remove the WATER CAP(S) located under the bulwark gates located port and starboard just ahead of the side cockpit doors. Avoid flushing debris from the deck into the tank opening. DO NOT fill water and diesel at the same time! Fresh Water Pressure Pump The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located in the under-cockpit storage area on the starboard side near the batteries. Activate pump at the DC panel by turning on the breaker. If the water pump continues to run, you are either out of water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet. If you run out of water SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious damage can occur! Hot Water Tank The HOT WATER HEATER has an 11-gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to shore power or via a heat exchanger underway. To use on shore power, flip on the water heater circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel. Do not use the water heater if the water tank level is very low. The water heater is located starboard side aft salon. Shower 13

14 Before taking a SHOWER, make sure water pressure and shower sump breakers are on. Take only very short boat showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). DO NOT USE BAR SOAP! It clogs up the filter and lines. To keep shower tidy wipe down the shower stall and floor. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. An additional FRESH WATER SHOWER is located off the swim step. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are completely off after use. A pressured RAW WATER WASHDOWN is available from a hose spigot in the chain locker and off the swim step. To activate, flip the salt water breaker located on the DC panel. After use, turn the switch off to prevent pump burn out, and ensure no object leans on the switch to turn it on accidentally. GALLEY 14

15 Stove/oven The stove and oven is electric. Turn on the stove breaker on the AC panel. Be careful it gets hot fast! Refrigerator The REFRIGERATOR is dual voltage (12-volt and 110-volt power). It will automatically use 110-volt power when the shore power is connected; otherwise, it will operate on 12-volt power. Monitor the use of the refrigerator when the engines are not charging the 12-volt battery system. The local power switch is located above the front door. It can be turned down to the lowest position when anchored or moored or turned off when turning in for the night. Minimizing openings helps a lot! Built-in Cabin Heat (AC) HEATING / AC SYSTEM is equipped with a Reverse Cycle AC/Heat system. 4 HVAC controls customize temperature needs in the Staterooms, Galley and Salon, At the AC panel, turn on the breaker labeled AC system water Pump, and all the AC Unit breakers. NOTE* Heating / AC system system draws significant amperage so only use one HVAC location at a time if using 30 AMP shore power or less. This system uses seawater so water will be discharged overboard in several locations thru the hull. ELECTRONICS 15

16 VHF Radio The VHF RADIO is located at the helm. Make sure the electronics breaker is on located at the DC panel. Turn on by pushing the volume button. Always monitor channel 16 while underway. Garmin GPSMAP 7612xsv Chartplotter Sounder This vessel is equipped with a new, state of the art Garmin GPSMAP 7612xsv Chartplotter Sounder. Please make sure you adequately familiarize yourself with operating key features of this unit before getting underway. ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS AM/FM/CD Stereo Receivers and Sound system The vessel is equipped with 2 JVC AM/FM/CD Stereo Receivers. The bridge receiver operates bridge and cockpit speakers. The Salon receiver operates speakers in the salon and forward stateroom. Each receiver features AM and FM reception, CD, Bluetooth and USB connections for compatibility with smart phones and other devices. TV / DVD Player / Video Streaming. 16

17 TV and DVD player are located port side in the salon. The TV is also equipped with Amazon Fire streaming device. ANCHORING The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a plow type. It is attached to 200ft chain and that passes through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER. The locker can be accessed through the forward deck hatch. Release the anchor keeper. The WINDLASS POWER SWITCH is located on the panel at the helm. At the bow, unclip the retaining cable. Tap gently on the down foot control to provide a small amount of slack in the chain. Tip the anchor just over center and gently begin lowering the anchor. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent binding on the pulpit. Be careful of pinch points. Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE before setting the anchor. Colored markers are placed to gauge depths red every 10 Yellow every 25. This is a gauge of the amount of rode. If the anchorage is crowded put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water), back the anchor in with a short burst from the engine. Then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions. Install anchor chain bridle from bow cleats to chain, slack a loop in the windlass side of the chain. Before raising the anchor, ALWAYS start the engines as the windlass uses large amounts of power. Turn on the WINDLASS SWITCH and take up slack to remove pressure on chain bridle. Remove the bridle from the chain. As the boat moves toward the anchor, press the up control to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling it up. If necessary, idle the boat forward with the engines by placing briefly in gear to put slack in chain. Place yourself in position to guide the anchor onto the roller. As the anchor rises, be careful not to allow it to swing against the hull. Wash it down before it goes into anchor locker. Reconnect the keeper between the anchor and windlass. Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. BARBECUE 17

18 The BARBECUE and MOUNTING HARDWARE are stored in the under- cockpit storage area. Place the BARBECUE on the MOUNTING BRACKET located on the aft deck rail and secure with mounting hardware screws. Reverse the procedure to dismount barbecue. Attach a PROPANE BOTTLE to the REGULATOR. Carefully light the unit, preferably with a long-stem butane lighter. The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks hot and fast. Store the barbecue unit back in the under- cockpit storage area when not in use. Please wipe with a paper towel before storing to prevent grease and dirt soiling the boat. Note: Propane bottles are provided by AYC. If you anticipate needing an additional bottle, please ask AYC staff. Caution -- For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into low spaces. Store these bottles in the cockpit cabinet. Ensure gasoline and flammable materials are not near the barbecue. DINGHY & OUTBOARD MOTOR Scoop The AB 10 Dinghy has capacity for about 600 lbs. (motor, equipment, and 3 people). Dinghy Deployment To deploy the dinghy, ensure first make sure the drain plug is installed. Leaving the transom davit cables in place, remove pully from transom position, carefully release enough line and reattach pully at the port side bridge position. Remove slack from pulley line so it can support the dinghy. For deployment, please use gloves stored in the cockpit port cabinet. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HOLD ON TO THE PULLEY LINE SECURELY ALWAYS DURING DEPLOYMENT. LETTING GO OF THE LINE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DINGHY AND DAVIT SYSTEM. 18

19 Remove both Transom davit cables. CAREFULLY lower the dinghy into the water. With dinghy safely in the water, you can now remove the 4 davit attachment cables from the dingy. Tie up / secure the dingy as required to allow safe entry for passengers. Coast Guard regulations state that any child 14 and under must wear a life jacket in a dinghy. It is a good idea for EVERYONE to follow this rule. Dinghy Operation: Before getting underway, familiarize yourself with outboard motor operation / controls, such as location of the electric start button. Emergency stop switch, gearshift lever and throttle control. PLEASE OPERATE DINGHY WITH EXTREME CAUTION DURING 1 ST USE. There is a learning curve for maneuvering and throttle control. The engine can produce a lot of power and you can easily lose control if not careful. Do not tow the Dinghy. Raising the Dinghy: The prepare to raise the Dingy, reattach the 4 davit cables to the Dingy. Make sure all gear is removed and engine is positioned as shown. 19

20 As in the deployment phase, please wear gloves and use extreme caution to ensure you do not let go of the pulley line. Begin raising the dingy by pulling on the pulley line. Initially, strong pulling force will be required. After a few pulls, lift the dingy up over the swim platform as shown. Repeat this process until the dingy is sitting in the davit cradle. Continue hoisting until Dingy is in the storage position as shown. Reattach transom davit cables.. Remove pulley from port side bridge position and reattach at the transom position. CRABBING & FISHING Always check the fishing and crabbing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing on certain months. CRAB AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. Fish-flavored cat food or with the pop-up ringed lids or frozen chicken backs work the best for a nice neat way to bait the pot. After minutes, retrieve the crab pot quickly. Be certain of water depth before lowering crab pots; make certain the buoy line is long enough for the depth. Keep the male crabs of proper size (usually 6 ¼ inches across the carapace). Boil crabs about 12 minutes to cook. After using, wash equipment thoroughly with fresh water. Note -- Please do not store wet pot and gear inside the boat. OTHER: Safety & Bilge Pumps SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A PERSON OVERBOARD DRILL should be discussed and perhaps even practiced with a life jacket. Remember your lifejackets are stowed under the sofa in the starboard side of the salon. A few should always be out and ready. Your flares and safety equipment are located in a cabinet on the port side of the salon. This vessel is equipped with 3 AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge. The ENGINE SPARES BOX is stowed in the under-cockpit storage area. This includes oil filter, raw water impeller, pump parts, injectors, and other small parts. THRU-HULL LOCATIONS 20
