4 BOAT OPERATION Engine Room Inspection Remember your WOBBS every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts and Sea Strainer. 1. Check the level of COOLANT by removing the radiator cap on each engine (while engine is cool) and checking that coolant level is within several inches of the top of the tank. Replace caps and tighten. If needed, top off to about 1 from top of filler neck with fresh water. 2. Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking the dipsticks located conveniently on the inboard side of each engine. Look at the crosshatched marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level. Do Not Overfill Oil! Only add oil if oil levels are below the ½ way mark. Please use a paper towel or oil rag, not the dish towels! 3. Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES. 4. Check that there are no obvious leaks or pooling of fluids below the engines or in the bilge. 5. Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the open position (lever in-line with valve). The raw water intakes are under an inspection hatch in the forward center floor of the engine room between the engines. Lift up the hatch to observe the glass of each RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. If necessary, close the seacock, open the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock before engine start, or the engines will overheat and ruin your day! 6. Check the generator coolant by looking at the overfill bottle above the generator (the generator is in the white cabinet aft of the starboard engine). 7. Check the generator oil by pulling out the sound enclosure panel in the front of the generator (towards the starboard engine), the panel is attached by Velcro. Slide the panel towards you to clear the engine exhaust system. The oil dip stick is to the left of the red oil filter. Check that the oil is between the upper and lower range. Replace the panel and press in to secure the Velcro attachments. 8. Check that the battery switch above the generator is in the #2 (normal start batteries) position. Start-Up Before starting the engines, do your inspections (above). The engines should be started from the lower helm station. Ensure Gearshifts are in neutral, or the engines cannot be started because of the neutral lockout. Throttles should be run up and down several times to synchronize the throttle controls, and then brought back to the idle position. Insert both keys into the Ignition Switches. Normally, plan to start the port engine first. Cold Start: Turn the key momentarily clockwise to Position II momentarily to enable the engine pre-heat. The yellow engine pre-heat light will come on and remain on for 50 seconds. Once the light goes out, start the engine by rotating the key to Position III momentarily. Once the engine catches, release the key from Position III. If the starter does not engage when the key is turned, move the gearshift lever slightly until you find neutral and try again while turning key. Warm Start: Turn the key directly to the start Position III. Note - If the engine cranks slowly or fails to turn over, check the voltage of the Start batteries on the Salon Electrical Panel. If the Start Battery voltage is low, try turning the Engine Start Battery Switch (above the generator in the engine room), to the No. 2 (house bank) position. Do not use or leave the switch in the BOTH position, otherwise you could deplete both the house and start 4

5 batteries if you were under power for a period of time. Note: the only function for this switch is to control which battery bank the engines start from. Once the engine has started, move the Throttle to raise the engine speed to 800 rpm on the Tachometer. Warm the engine for about 5 minutes before departing. Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure will register about 60 PSI. The engine temperature should rise slowly. 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 watercooling system to ensure the seacock is open (handle in-line with valve and hose). 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. 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 GEARSHIFT is in the neutral position and each THROTTLE is in the idle position. At the lower helm, turn off engines by turning the keys to the S position and holding there until the engine stops completely. At the upper helm, press each Engine Kill button until the engine comes to a complete stop. Getting Underway Disconnect the shore power cord (see 110-Volt next page). Close the Portholes, Windows, And Forward Hatch. Turn on your VHF and electronics. Assign crew members their various positions. Make sure throttles are in idle before shifting into gear. Once outside the marina, idle the engines while crew brings in fenders and lines. Here are several checklists that we find helpful: Pre-Departure Checklist: 1. Check the weather forecast. 2. Perform Engine Room Pre-Start Checklist. 3. If applicable, turn off Shore Power at the electrical panel, turn Inverter on, if not already selected ON. Turn Electronics Circuit Breaker ON. 4. Turn off Shore power breaker at dock box, unplug cord (and adapter if used), coil up cord, unplug from transom and stow cord and adapters. 5. Ensure dinghy and davit are secure three tie downs on dinghy. 6. Close and secure all hatches, close salon door and stow loose items, remove and stow BBQ. Make sure each porthole (there are 4!) are closed and all three closure knobs on each porthole are tight and securely locked. 7. Perform a safety briefing to include location of life preservers, man-overboard routine, location of fire extinguishers and emergency radio procedures. 8. Check fuel levels in the tanks. 9. Turn on the following Circuit Breakers: Electronics, Trim Tabs, Horn. 10. Turn on the RayMarine E80 at the lower helm first, then the RayMarine E80 at the upper helm. Turn on the backup Garmin GPS and the VHF radio, Ch Have course plotted or route planned, with charts available. Make sure accurate depth of water is indicated from each helm.

6 12. Start Engines at lower helm a. Preheat for 50 seconds (when light goes out) b. Let engines warm up at around 800 rpm. 13. Prepare dock lines for departure. 14. Coordinate with crew about how you will be departing, who is going to do what with what lines. Ensure you have a plan. Make sure dock lines are not dropped into the water where they could foul the props. 15. All close quarter maneuvering should be done from the upper helm, where thruster controls are available. Post Departure Checklist: 1. While slowly departing (continuing to warming up engines), have crew retrieve and stow fenders. Make sure fenders are secured to holders with turn snaps. 2. Make sure moorage lines are stowed or secured and cannot fall overboard. 3. Check engine instruments for proper oil pressure and warming engine temperature. Cruising All close quarters maneuvering should always take place at the upper flybridge helm. Ensure the throttles are in the idle position before engaging the gearshifts to avoid transmission damage. Cruising speed is a maximum of 2450 RPMS. Following are rpm, speed and fuel used settings: RPM Speed Kts Fuel Used Gal/hour for both engines 2450 Max Cruise Fairly economical faster cruise speed This is a very economical cruise speed Your speed will vary depending upon the weight and load and weather conditions. At around 12 knots and above, the TRIM TABS should be put in the bow down position. This will increase the boat speed and increase fuel economy. Note: Port switch is for port tab, stbd switch is for stbd tab. So to level a lean to stbd, you would want to move the stbd trim tab switch forward, which lowers the stbd tab. If the Trim Tabs do not respond, check to make sure the Trim Tab circuit breaker is on. Note -- Avoid higher engine speeds as it causes higher engine temperature, possible damage, and higher fuel consumption. Please consult the Destiny Checklist for specific steps on Engine Room, Pre-Departure and Post Departure operations. 6

7 Docking During docking, use the Flybridge Helm for greater visibility to the stern. Have your crew make ready the lines and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking. Often times 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. Rock Trim Tab switches to the bow up position (press aft part of switch - 8 to 10 seconds each) to make slow-speed backing and turning easier. While moving slowly to the dock or mooring location, center the Wheel (e.g. rudders straight) and use only the Gearshifts and Throttles to maneuver the boat. Destiny has Bow & Stern Thrusters. They can be controlled with the two joy sticks in the upper helm. To turn on the Thruster System, press both ON buttons at the same time until the orange power light comes on. Then use the joy stick to control the Thrusters. The thrusters are fairly powerful, so use with caution, but avoid very short bursts. It is best to control the boat as much as possible with the normal gear shifts and throttles, then use the thrusters as needed to control sideward s movement, as when fighting a side current and/or wind. The thrusters are rated for about 2 minutes of continuous use, so do not try to hold the boat against current or wind for a prolonged period of time. If the thruster stops responding to commands, check to make sure the system is still on. Note that the thruster joy stick controls will time out (turn off) after a period of non-use. If thruster still does not respond, (boat stops moving as it should) there could be something jammed in the thruster. Discontinue use or permanent damage could occur. Fueling Up Open Filler Caps which are located in the aft cockpit, port and starboard sides, with a Deck Fitting Key, which is kept in the cabinet below the electrical panel in the salon. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! MAKE SURE IT IS GOING INTO THE RIGHT DECK FILL! DIESEL FUEL IS RECOGNIZED BY GREEEN HOSE AND NOZZLE, BUT DOUBLE-CHECK. IF IN DOUBT, CHECK WITH THE FUEL ATTENDANT! Have an oil/fuel sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel. Fuel sorbs are stored in the engine room, or most fuel docks furnish one. You should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need based on the fuel gauges located in at the lower helm. Each tank has a capacity of 200 gallons. You may also have someone periodically turn on the key to watch the fuel gauge. Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump evenly, and note the sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast near the end may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from the tank opening. It s pretty easy to fuel Destiny, as the fuel opening goes right into the top of the tanks. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. The sound may indicate that the tank is nearly full. When it gets near the top, you can remove the nozzle and peer straight down into the fill neck and into the tank to view the fuel level. Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Once you have filled both tanks, go back to the first tank and top it off, as the fuel transfer line will have tried to level the first tank filled, and it will have gone down some. Replace each tank cap. Remember, spillage into the water may result in a nasty fine from law enforcement. Caution -- Clean up splatter and spillage immediately for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly.

8 BOAT ELECTRICAL Destiny has a modern fairly easy to manage electrical system. There are just a couple of things to manage; otherwise it pretty much takes care of itself. The challenge comes when anchoring and managing the battery power. However, the generator is available for heavier electrical loads and to re-charge the house bank. Here is the Quick Start Guide. For more in-depth information, keep reading. There are two types of electrical power 120v AC and 12 DC. (well also 24v for thrusters) There are three sources of 120 AC power Shore power cord, Generator, and Inverter. There are three sources of 12 DC power House batteries, Start batteries, and alternators on the two Volvo main engines. These are the Quick Start rules to keep in mind: You do not have to worry about or manage a battery switch. There is an Automatic Charge Relay (ACR) that minds the connection between the house bank and start bank of batteries. When there is a charge on either bank (from any source) they are connected together and both banks charge. When a charge is removed, they are isolated, so you can t discharge the house bank along with the start bank. For this reason there should be no reason to mess with the battery switch above the generator. It s only used if the ACR should fail. And BTY, it only controls which bank the engines start from. Destiny has a 30 amp shore power system. You can exceed 30 amps drawn by using too many things at once such as the stove top, while the house bank is being charged, AND you start the microwave. Or have the electric hot water heater on, house bank in the beginning of its charge cycle, AND use the microwave. So before using the microwave, turn off the water heater, and or the stove top. If it trips, reset the master AC circuit breaker and brief the cook! House bank charge condition is monitored from the round Link 10 display above the Magnum panel. When 4 green lights are display like if good. When 3 green lights are displayed, you are ok. When 2 yellow LED s are displayed, or the voltage drops below 12.2 volts on the digital display, it is time to charge the house bank, by running the generator, or starting the engines and getting underway. If one red LED is lit, you have damaged the house bank. Report to AYC and see the warnings below under House Bank. At night on the hook without shore power, it s nice to keep your food cold (keep the refrigerator going) and still use lights, etc. A good way to conserve house bank battery charge is before going to bed, turn off the entertainment power strip which is located in the cabinet to the right of the TV cabinet reach in on the left side, bottom of the strip is a rocker switch. This really turns off the TV, receiver, DVD player, & DishNetwork receiver. These devices really are on and consuming battery power through the inverter when you turn them off. Turn the inverter OFF, and not in Standby, when connected to shore power or running the generator. The inverter is turned on and off with the invertor button on the Magnum panel. See why in the detailed description below if you really want to know. Most common electrical steps like running the generator are covered in the Destiny Checklist. Please use it. Ok, if you want to know more about the electrical system keep reading The electrical system is divided into three distribution systems: 110-volt AC system, 12-volt DC system and a 24-volt DC thruster system. 8

9 The electrical systems are controlled from the Electrical Panel located just inside the salon on the starboard side. When not connected to shore power or running the generator, the batteries are providing all power, therefore monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with the Link 10 battery monitor located to the left of the electrical panel, and turn off electrical devices that are not needed. Most breakers are labeled by colored dots. Green signifies Leave on. Red is usually off. Blue dots are water pressure or water-related like pumps that are used by the cleaning crew. Yellow signifies items to use when needed and with caution. 110-Volt AC System (Shore Power) SHORE POWER will support 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 (Port outside Transom lower receptacle) and then into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (is it 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp?). If necessary, add the appropriate Cord Adapter. These adapters are located on the shelf above the house battery bank in aft starboard engine room. Turn the dock power on. Cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bow line. At the electrical panel, turn the Main Power switch to the SHORE position. It will take about 30 seconds or so for the system to check the power and the meters to reflect shore power is flowing. Check to make sure the RED reverse polarity light is not lit. If it is, turn the main power switch from SHORE to OFF, then investigate the cause of the reverse polarity with the Marina Operator. If you are connected to anything other than a 30 amp circuit, you will need to adjust the Magnum Inverter/Charger to reflect the size of the Shore power circuit that you are connected to. On the Magnum control panel to the left of the Electrical Panel, press the Shore button. You will see an arrow pointing to the current Amp setting. Normal shore power is 30 Amps, but you could be connected to a 20 Amp, or even 15 Amp circuit on the dock. Using the rotary knob, set the Charger setting to match the Shore power circuit. Once the correct setting is visible, press the round knob to save the setting. This will limit the battery charge rate so as not to exceed the total current capacity from shore power. If the polarity is OK, press the Charger button on the Magnum Inverter/Charger, then turn on appropriate breakers in the electrical panel for refrigerator, water heater, and thruster charger, as needed. Watch the AC volt meter for sagging voltage (below 110 volts) which would indicate too great a load. This could result in one or more circuit breakers tripping. If this occurs, wait to turn on one of your systems (i.e. water heater) until your use of power drops, as the batteries near full charge. If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped. Inverter Power: Destiny is equipped with a state-of-the-art, true sine wave Magnum Inverter. A sine-wave inverter will power all sensitive electronic equipment, unlike square wave inverters. The Inverter provides AC power to the 110-volt receptacle plugs (i.e. the microwave oven) when the boat is disconnected from shore power or generator. The inverter converts battery power into 110-volt AC power. The Magnum Charger/Inverter Panel is located to the left of the Electrical Power. The Inverter is normally off when running on shore power or generator. Before disconnecting shore power, you can turn on the inverter so that it will automatically start inverting 110 volts whenever the Shore power is disconnected. Turn on the Inverter by pressing the Inverter button on the Magnum remote panel. The actual Inverter is located in the engine room on the bulkhead behind the generator.

10 The Inverter s power source is the DC house batteries located on the starboard side of the aft engine room. The quantity of DC power is limited to the capacity of these batteries. Therefore, running hair dryers, toaster, coffeepots, space heater, etc., will quickly discharge the house/inverter batteries. Use these items VERY SPARINGLY when not on shore power or generator! Monitor your battery usage very carefully! Note the Water Heater and Stove Top burners will not operate when on Inverter power. If you need the Stove Top burners, and you do not have access to shore power, you will need to start the Generator. If you need hot water, start the generator, or turn on the hydronic diesel heating system. Also, turn the Thruster Charger off when using inverter power. When connected to shore power, the charger/inverter becomes a battery charger for the 12-volt House Batteries and Start Batteries. Should you detect the charger failing to charge the house batteries, check that the Magnum Charger LED is lit. If it is not lit, press the Charger button on the Magnum control panel. Do not have the Inverter in Standby when connected to shore power, or generator. If there were a power failure on land or the shore power circuit breaker trips, the Inverter would automatically pick up the load and could deplete the house bank before anyone was aware of a shore power failure. Also do not have the inverter in standby when running the generator, as the generator power causes problems with the Inverter and it fights for control of the AC power. Generator : To start the Generator, first check that the generator s fluids are topped off and the raw water intake is open. The Generator Controls are located in the salon Electrical Panel. First pre-heat the generator for about 20 seconds by holding the Generator Start Switch in the Down position. After about 20 seconds, lift the Generator Start Switch to upper position to Start the Generator. Hold the switch in that position while the generator catches (about 2-3 seconds). Once the generator is running, make sure water and exhaust is exiting on the starboard side of the boat. Also make sure nothing flammable is near the exhaust port like a bumper or another boat! After the generator is running for 2 minutes to warm up, turn your AC distribution switch to GENERATOR. Then turn on AC systems as you would on shore power, one breaker or system at a time. Turn Inverter OFF when running the Generator, or else it fights with the Generator and will cause the power to fluctuate. To turn the Generator off, first take off the load by turning off the AC breakers. Then turn off main AC distribution switch. Lastly, kill the generator by holding the Generator Switch to Down position until it stops completely. House (12-volt) System: Three battery banks support 12-volt DC power: 1) Engine start batteries, 2) House battery bank, 3) Generator battery. Engine Start Battery Switch: Unless there is a system problem, you will have no need to change the battery switch from its normal #2 position! The Engine Start Battery Switch is located above the Generator in the engine room. The #1 Position will use the House Batteries to start the engines. The #2 Position will use the Start bank to start the engines. The Both position will use both Start and House batteries to start the engines and will link the start batteries to the house batteries. For this reason, do not leave this switch in the BOTH position while at anchor as you could drain both the House bank and the Start bank and be unable to start the engines (unless you start the generator 10

11 and wait to charge up the start batteries). The Off position will disconnect electrical power from the Engine Start Circuit. Normally, leave this switch in the #2 position for using the Start Batteries to start the engines. Automatic Charge Relay: This smart device links the house bank and the start battery bank together when either one of the banks is being charged, but separates them when no charge is present and power is being consumed by either bank. This insures that the start batteries are charged, along with the house bank, and vice versa, but protects the start bank from being discharged along with the house bank. It is fully automatic and requires no operator intervention. The 12-volt Electrical Panel has all the systems supported by your batteries. Primarily you will be turning on the breakers for electronics, water pressure, heads, etc. Bilge pump breakers should always be left on. House Battery Bank: The House Battery Bank provides power for all DC systems, except the Engines and Thrusters. When disconnected from shore power and Generator, all 12-volt devices drain the House Battery Bank. Use devices as needed. The DC voltmeter (meter in the center of the Electrical Panel) can be switched between Start and House Battery banks to measure charging or resting battery voltages. The #1 Position is the House bank, and the #2 position is the Start Bank. When a battery bank is being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.6 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 (either Link 10 or voltmeter on panel) can give a rough indication of the state-of-charge of the battery bank. Voltage (Wet Cell Battery) Battery State volts 100% volts 75% volts 50% volts 25% volts 0% Do not let the House Bank charge fall below volts (50% capacity), otherwise damage to the batteries will result. When the voltage of the House Bank falls to volts, it is time to run the Generator, connect to Shore power, or start the engines to recharge the House Bank. Link 10 Battery Monitor: Destiny is fitted with a Link 10 Battery monitoring system. This is the round gauge above the Magnum Control Panel and to the left of the Electrical Panel. This will give you an accurate reading of House battery voltage and current draw in (charging) or out (- draining), Amp Hours being drawn in or out, and time remaining on the house bank at the current level of usage. The 4 green LED s along the top will also indicate the state of charge. Their meanings: 4 Green LED s = 80% + of capacity life is good. 3 Green LED s = 60 79% - life is still good, but time to watch charge level. 2 Yellow LED s = 40 59% It is time to recharge the batteries! 1 Red LED = 20 39% Damage has been done to the battery bank charge immediately! 1 Flashing Red LED = Critically low. Remove all power draw. Probably too low to charge. The Start and House batteries are charged by the engine Alternators while underway through an ACR (Automatic Charging Relay) is fitted into the electrical system. The ARC allows the House Bank Bus to be connected to the Start Batteries when the House Bank is being charged. But the ARC will disconnect the Start batteries from the House Bank if it senses voltage falling below the

12 charge level, thus preventing the Start Battery Bank from being drained along with the House Bank. Setting the Engine Start Battery switch to the BOTH position overrides the protection of the ARC, and is only recommended if the ARC is not working properly to charge the Start Batteries. The engine/house batteries are also charged by the Magna Battery Charger part of the Inverter when connected to Shore Power or the Generator is running. Ensure the Battery Charger is turned on at the Magnum Inverter Control Panel. On the Hook: When spending the night without shore power, the challenge is to reduce electrical demands as much as possible, to insure you make it through the night without depleting the house bank below 50% capacity. The primary power consumption is going to be the refrigerator. Here are some pointers to achieve this goal: 1. Set refrigerator to the #3 setting (or a little above 3) before turning in for the night.. 2. Turn off the entertainment system power strip, located in the cabinet to the right of the TV cabinet after it is no longer being used. Even though the components are off, they still use a bit of power. 3. Reduce lighting and other power usage to a minimum. Check engine room lights are off! 4. Insure that the thruster battery charger circuit breaker is off, and the electronics breaker is off. 5. Run the generator in the evening while cooking and watching TV, or at least before bedtime, to put a charge on the house bank. 6. If necessary, run the generator in the morning if you are not departing soon. Thruster System Batteries: The thruster system is a 24-volt DC system, independent of the 12-volt system. The bow thruster is powered by 2 dedicated batteries in the forward bow, while the stern thruster is powered by two dedicated batteries in the stern. All four batteries are charged by a 24-volt Charger that is powered by the 110-volt system while on Shore Power or while the Generator is running. The Thruster Charger is controlled by the Charger Circuit Breaker on the AC Electrical Panel, so be sure this breaker is on when you are on Shore Power or Generator Power so that the Thruster Batteries will be replenished before you need them again. When you are not connected to Shore power or Generator power, it is best to turn the Charger breaker off, so that you will not be charging the Thruster Batteries from the House Battery Bank it can be done, but it s not efficient and depletes the House Battery Bank sooner. The Stern Thruster can be disconnected from its batteries with the Stern Thruster Battery Switch located in the aft engine room on the transom wall. The Bow Thruster can be disconnected from its batteries with the Bow Thruster Battery Switch located in the right hand cabinet door below the forward berth. The switch is mounted above the storage area and is marked by a label on the outside of the cabinet door. Please consult the Destiny Checklist for specific steps on how to operate on Shore Power, Generator and Battery Power. SANITATION SYSTEM Marine Toilets: It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the Marine Toilets. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! 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. 12

13 To flush the toilet, press the Push Button located adjacent to the toilet on the cabinet. For solid waste, hold the button for approximately 15 secondsto insure that the bowl and lines are flushed clear. Clean the toilet as necessary. The Toilet Intake Thru-Hull sea cocks are located under the forward stateroom floor, if you need to shut off the water to the toilets. The carpet can be pulled up and the floor hatch removed to get to these valves. Holding Tank: The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds approximately 40 gallons. 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 indescribably catastrophic, and an EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid problems. The HOLDING TANK is located under the forward stateroom floor. There is a Tank Watch Warning Panel located in the forward head next to the sink, which indicates the approximate level in the holding tank, but do not rely upon this as they often get clogged. The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways: 1. At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located on the port side deck midship. Remove the cap using the deck cap tool located in the drawer opposite the refrigerator. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening. Double-check your deck fitting! Turn on pump and slowly 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 helps to eliminate head odors. Replace and tighten the cap. 2. The tank s contents can be discharged while underway and well off-shore using the HOLDING TANK pump, but only in Canadian waters. To operate the macerator, you must first open the through-hull valve located under the forward stateroom carpet and floor. Pull back the carpet, remove the floor hatch, locate THE HOLDING TANK PUMP OUT SEACOCK valve, and open the valve so the handle is in-line with the hose and fitting. Go to the Electrical Panel in the salon, identify the holding tank pump circuit breaker one of those with the warning cover, lift the cover and turn the breaker on. Then return to the forward hatch. Once you have absolutely confirmed that the correct Seacock Valve is open, locate the Holding Tank Pumpout switch, located just below the left edge of the hatch opening. This is a momentary contact switch, so you will have to hold the switch in the forward position to run the pump. Hold the switch so that the pump runs until the pitch of the pump changes, which indicates that the tank is empty. This can be confirmed by checking the Tank Monitor panel in the forward head to see that the Empty light is the only one lit. It could take 5 or 6 minutes to empty a full tank. Once the tank has been emptied and the pump turned off, turn the circuit breaker off on the electrical panel, then return and close the SEACOCK and replace the wire zip tie. WARNING: Turning on the HOLDING TANK PUMP with the HOLD TANK SEACOCK valve closed will cause the pump valves to fail, or blow out the holding tank hose and will lead to a horrible mess that will ruin your day. Y-Valve: There are no Y-VALVE s installed on Destiny. The heads are plumbed directly into the holding tanks.

14 WATER SYSTEM Fresh Water Tank: The FRESH WATER TANK holds 120 gallons. A rough guide for water usage is 120 gallons will provide water usage consisting of normal showers, dish washing and normal needs for 2 people for 4 to 5 days. This can be extended to 6 or 7 days by doing water conservation showers (rinse, water off lather, water on to rinse off). Waste water from the sinks drains overboard through various thru-hulls. The fresh water tank level can be checked using the fresh water gauge located around the corner from the salon electrical panel and adjacent to the aft salon door. Press the button on the gauge to get a momentary reading. To refill the tank, remove the WATER CAP(S) located on the top of the port transom corner. Avoid flushing debris from the deck into the tank opening. DO NOT fill water and diesel at the same time! Recommendation Refill your water tank at every opportunity to do so. Fresh Water Pressure Pump: The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located in the engine room, on the other starboard side, just beyond the generator. Activate the pump at the DC panel by turning on the Fresh Pump circuit 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! And shut off the water pressure pump to prevent damage. Hot Water Tank: The HOT WATER HEATER has a 20 gallon capacity tank and is heated 3 ways: electrically when connected to shore power or with the generator running, or with engine heat with the engines running, or by the hydronic system when the diesel heating system is running. To use on shore power or generator, flip on the water heater circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel. Do not turn on the Water Heater circuit breaker if the water tank level is very low. This could burn out the water heater heating element. The water heater is located to the outside of the starboard engine in the engine room. Using electrical power to heat the water heater is somewhat slow, taking about an hour to heat up for showers, and recovery is a bit slow so you will need to space your showers. If you want really hot water, run the diesel heating system in addition to the electrical heating. This will allow back to back showers and a continuous supply of hot water (or until you run out of fresh water!). If on shore power, the best approach is to turn on the water heater circuit breaker before turning in for the night. Continuous hot water is heated by the Everhot hot water tank via the hydraunic heating system. The Everhot red hot water tank is located outboard of the port engine. Showers: Before taking a SHOWER, make sure the Water Pump and Sump Pump circuit breakers are on. To conserve water, consider taking very short boat showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep showers tidy, please wipe down the shower stall and floor. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are 14

15 completely off after use. Both showers drain into a shower sump which is located below the mid cabin floor hatch. This sump has a pump that pumps the grey water overboard. You will hear this pump cycling on and off when taking a shower. Cockpit Washdown: A pressured RAW WATER WASHDOWN is available from the coiled hose behind the hatch door in the port side rear cockpit. To activate, open the Raw Water Washdown Seacock port side transom location, then turn on the Water Washdown Circuit Breaker located in the aft engine room, starboard side, above the house battery bank. After use, turn the breaker switch off to prevent pump burn out, and close the intake seacock. GALLEY: Stove: The stove is electric. Turn on the Stove circuit breaker on the AC panel to use. You will need to be connected to Shore power or run the Generator in order to use the Stove. To use the microwave/convection oven, turn on the Microwave circuit breaker on the AC panel. It will operate from Shore power, Generator or Inverter power. Refrigerator: The Refrigerator runs on 110-volt power from Shore Power, Generator or Inverter 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 freezer door. It can be turned down to the lower position when anchored or moored or turned off when turning in for the night. If you want your ice cream fairly hard, a setting of 4 will do the job. However, for being on anchor, recommend a setting of 3 while on inverter and battery power. HEATING SYSTEM Diesel Heater (DC) The Wabasto Diesel Hydronic Furnace is located on the port side of the engine room, outboard of the port engine. The system consists of a hot water heating unit, a small water storage tank, an Everhot water heater, a circulation pump and hot water tubing that runs throughout the boat, and heat radiators located in the salon, pilot house, and each stateroom that take the heat from the hot water and radiate heat through vents via small fans and ducting. The main control for the system is in the salon on the wall forward of the sofa. There is a Master On-Off switch that turns on the system. Once the system is turned on, set the THERMOSTAT to the desired temperature and turn the fan switch to either low or high. Caution: Before turning the furnace on, check the Furnace Exhaust Port located just outside the salon on the port hull, below the railing. Check to make sure there are no obstructions such as fenders, lines, or another rafted boat near the exhaust opening. Do not block this opening when operating the furnace. Heat will damage anything close, like fiberglass or rubber. Once the furnace is on, allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn off the heater by turning the Master switch off. There are 3 zones and thermostats for the heating system. Each stateroom has a thermostat and a fan switch. The pilot house has a fan control, plus a switch for either normal heat, or defroster to

16 the pilot house windows. These controls are located to the lower left of helm. In the defrost mode, heat is diverted to the vents in front of the instrument panel below the forward windows. Otherwise, heat comes out the lower vents near the floor. The Diesel Furnace also heats the Everhot domestic hot water tank when the heating system is running. If you want to heat hot water via this system, but not the cabin area, simply turn the hydronic system Master Switch on, leave the fan switch off, and turn up the thermostat setting in the salon to a temperature above the current temperature. Turn off the master switch when you no longer need to heat hot water. ELECTRONICS All electronic manuals are located in the Destiny Manual Binder, except for the Raymarine Manuals which are located in the burgundy colored pack behind the dinette seating on the starboard side. VHF Radio: There is one VHF RADIO in the lower helm and a command mic in the upper helm. Make sure the Electronics breaker, located at the electrical panel, is on. Turn on the radio by pressing the on knob. Always monitor Channel 16 while underway. VHF Portable Radio: There is a portable VHF Radio (ICOM M34) for use as a backup radio or as a radio in the Dinghy. It is located in the Salon Cabinet below the Electrical Panel, on the upper shelf, along with the radio charger stand. Depth Sounder: There are two Depth Sounders Displays, one on the Lower Helm and the other at the Upper Helm. To activate the Depth Sounder, turn on the Electronics Breaker at the Electrical Panel in the salon. The sounder should provide reliable readings in shallow waters. If your reading is blinking, it is a FALSE reading. False readings can occur in depths of more then 200 feet or in areas of strong currents or tides. The depth sounder has been calibrated to read depth from the bottom of the keel to the bottom of the water. The draft on Destiny is 4 4. Do not knowingly operate in less than 10 of water. Reduce speed to 5 knots anytime depth is less the 30. Remember to ALWAYS consult your charts for depth! Radar: The Rader is controlled by the Raymarine E80 display units, either at the upper or lower helm. You must have the lower helm unit on before using the upper helm unit, as the lower is the Master unit. To operate the E80 unit, press and hold the Power button. To activate the Radar, use the Page Button to select a page that displays Radar, then press the Radar Xmit button. To turn off, press the Stby button on the E80. Refer to the Ray Marine quick reference card and manuals that are located in the Maroon packet behind the dinette seating on the starboard side. Remember, you are not allowed to travel in Fog, night time, or in serious wind conditions. GPS: The Raymarine E80 units provide GPS chart plotter capability. To select GPS, press the Page button, select GPS. Refer to the Raymarine E80 Quick Start Guide and Instruction Manual for full chart plotter capabilities. 16

17 At the lower helm, there is also a fixed mount Garmin 180 GPS to be used as a backup. Make certain that the Electronics breaker is on and then press the red color on/off/light button to activate. Press the page button to scroll through functions. Refer to the Garmin manual found in the Destiny Manuals Binder. Note -- GPS is considered a navigation aid. Do not rely solely on it. Compasses, charts, and dividers are the tools to plot position, course, and speed. ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS Yamaha Home Theater Receiver and Klipsch Sound System: The Yamaha HT Receiver is the cabinet to the left of the TV cabinet in the main salon. It operates like a normal home stereo system. There are 5 Klipsch surround speakers and a sub woofer in the salon. The unit can be operated with the built in AM/FM receiver, or play sound from CD or DVD in the Sony DVD player, sound from the Dish Network system while watching TV, or via an ipod or MP3 player. Make sure the entertainment system power strip is on. It is located in the cabinet to the right of the TV cabinet, left side wall. Aux Input for MP3 Music Player: There is an Aux input cord that is accessible on top of the Yamaha receiver. It is labeled ipod Input. This can be plugged into the headphone jack of an MP3 player or ipod. Select the Audio 1 (ipod) on the Yamaha receiver or remote to play all your favorite music from your ipod or MP3 player. OR If you already have an adapter cord, you can plug your MP3 player directly into the front panel jack of the Yamaha unit, labeled Portable. Then select the MP3 Front (V-Aux on remote) input on the Yamaha to play your favorite music. TV- TracVision/Dishnetwork Satellite: The power lift 32 Sony wide screen LCD TV is stored in the Entertainment Cabinet. There is a Rocker Switch on the upper right edge of the cabinet. Press and release the upper portion of the Rocker Switch and the TV will magically emerge from the cabinet for full viewing in the salon. The remotes for the TV, satellite and DVD are stored in a small box beside the reclining chair in the salon. To watch TV, first turn on the KVH satellite antenna by pressing the Rocker Switch to the up or on position on the KVH control panel on the wall to the left of the thermostat and to the right of sofa. Then using the Dishnetwork remote, press the Sat power button to turn on the Dishnetwork receiver, and the red TV button to turn on the Television set. You may hear the antenna searching for the proper satellite. Once the satellite has been located, it should be fairly quiet. If you are tied to a dock and the boat is fairly stationary, you can turn the KVH switch to off and still receive a good satellite signal. If you are underway or at anchor, leave the KVH system On to allow continuous tracking of the satellite. If you see no signal on the TV, check to make sure the TV is on Satellite video input, using the Sony TV remote and the TV/Video button. Some channels, including the local Seattle network stations are available in High Definition. To view the station guide, press the Guide button on the Dishnetwork remote. Note: If you are staying the night in the covered moorage in Anacortes, you will not be able to receive a satellite signal. Note: If you still cannot receive a signal, see the separate instructions for dealing with Dish Network and re-initializing the receiver. These instructions are kept with the remote controls.

Push the DVD Scene button on the front of the Yamaha receiver, or on the Yamaha remote. Then adjust volume with the Yamaha remote. HELP! If none of the entertainment devices seem to operate at all, check that the power strip just inside the cabinet to the right of the TV enclose left side, is on. Also, when at anchor and needing to conserve power, turn the power strip off at night and when the entertainment system is not needed. Please consult the Destiny Sound System Instructions located on the entertainment cabinet for more specific steps on how to operate the Entertainment System. ANCHORING The primary Working Anchor is a 50 lb Bruce style anchor and is attached to 200 ft of chain passed through the deck from the Anchor Locker. The Anchor Locker can be accessed through the front stateroom hatch at the head of the berth. The Windlass power circuit breakers are located in the salon Electrical Panel. Flip all three breakers on. At the bow, tap gently on the Down foot control to lower the anchor. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent binding on the pulpit. Let out sufficient Anchor Rode (chain) before setting the anchor. Colored markers are at intervals on the chain, indicating amount of rode. There is an Anchor Chain Color Guide in the upper bridge that gives the length of chain per color. If the anchorage is crowded, put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water). Remember to add about 4 or 5 feet to the Depth Sounder reading to get the total depth of the water. Back the anchor in with a short burst in reverse from the engines, then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions. It is preferable to use 5 to 1 or more scope, especially if you may be subject to strong winds or current. There is also a remote Windless 18

19 control in the upper bridge, however use that control with caution, as it is easy to miss a jam when you are not right there to see the chain and anchor. Also, do not operate the windlass from the helm if someone is close to the chain or windlass. To prevent serious injury, have anyone on the bow stand back from the chain and windlass. Before raising the anchor, always start the engines, as it uses large amounts of power. Move the boat forward slowly toward the anchor, press the up control to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling it up. 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. If the Anchor or Chain are covered with mud, wash them down with the coiled hose from the cockpit. It is long enough to stretch to the bow along the side walkway. If you have a lot of anchor chain out, have someone go inside the forward birth and look into the anchor locker to make sure the anchor chain has not piled up too tall to stack. It may require a push over to the side of the stacked chain. DO NOT snug the anchor up against the stop! It will jam in this position. Leave a bit of slack in the anchor chain. Close the plastic covers on the Foot Pedal Controls. Turn the Windlass Circuit Breakers to the Off position. A Spare Danforth style Anchor, 200 ft of Nylon Rode and 15 of Chain is stowed in the rear engine room. The Chain and Rode is in the Orange Bucket, while the Anchor is strapped to the Engine Room Access Ladder. Anchor Light: Turn on the Nav Light circuit breaker, then flip the Running Lights/Anchor Light switch to the Down position. This switch is on the left side of Electrical Panel. Mooring Cans: The Washington State Park Sticker on your vessel allows you to pick up the Mooring Cans in the parks. You only need to register at the kiosk usually located at the heads of the docks. Mooring cans have a metal triangle at the top upon which is a metal ring. The metal ring is attached to the chain which secures your boat. It Is Very Heavy. The strongest member of your crew should be picked for this job. Come up to the Mooring Can into the wind as you would for anchoring. Have crew members on the bow, one with a Boat Hook and one with a Mooring Line secured like a bow line. As you are coming slowly up to the can, have the crew holding the Boat Hook point at the can with the hook so the skipper always knows where it is. Hook the can and bring the ring up to the boat to allow the second crew to thread the ring with the line. Release the hold with the boat hook. If your mooring line is led out the starboard chock, bring the end of the line back through the port side. You will essentially create a bridle with about 10 feet of slack from the chalk to the can. BARBECUE The Barbecue and Mounting Bracket are stored in a canvas bag located in the storage locker under the port side cushion on the fly bridge. Place Mounting Bracket in the Holder on the stern port side of the cockpit. 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. Use a low heat setting! Reverse the procedure to dismount barbecue. Store the barbecue unit back in the box, once it has cooled and been cleaned on the outside. This can be done by using Z-Care spray cleaner and wiping with a paper towel before storing to prevent grease and dirt soiling the storage bag and boat.
