THE HELM:

The helm of the boat contains all of the important hardware to monitor and

control the boat.

Location of Components

Accessory Switchboard

The accessory switchboard contains switches, which send power to many of the

boat’s accessories. If an accessory is not powering up, always check to make

sure that the switch has been engaged.

NOTE: Switches remain active even when the engine is not running. Always

return switches to the OFF position to avoid battery drain when storing the boat.

Each switch is individually labeled. Switches are push ON/OFF style. A

depressed switch is in the ON position and a flush switch is in the OFF position.

NOTE: for more information on the location and operation of each switch consult

the user’s manual.

Compass

Your boat is equipped with a standard compass, which can be used in the event

that the navigation system fails. It is important to be familiar with its operation

when offshore for emergency purposes.

PLUMBING SYSTEM

Freshwater System

Your boat is equipped with a freshwater system, which includes a freshwater

holding tank, freshwater pump, and freshwater shower system. The fresh water

is also used to flush the toilet located in the onboard head.

The switch for the freshwater system is located on the accessory switch panel.

NOTE: Keep the freshwater pump in the OFF position when not in use.

The freshwater pump is located in the bilge along with many of the other

onboard boat pumps. The freshwater tank is located below the deck. The fill

valve for the freshwater tank is located in the starboard side gunwale.

NOTE: Always fill the freshwater tank with drinkable fresh water.

Raw Water Washdown

Your boat is equipped with a raw water washdown feature. This system allows

an owner to wash debris from the boat using seawater. The switch, which

activates the high-pressure pump, is located on the accessory switch panel.

NOTE: Keep the raw water pump in the OFF position when not in use.

Livewell

Your boat is equipped with a livewell, which circulates raw water though an

onboard livewell tank. To operate properly, the valve inside the livewell must be

adjusted to provide an even flow in and out of the livewell. Too much and it will

be more than the drain can handle, too little and the water will not get the proper

circulation. The valve should be turned counterclockwise to open and clockwise

to close.

The livewell drains through a hose connected to a thru-hull fitting on the port side

of the boat. To completely drain the livewell, remove the bottom plug and allow

the water to drain overboard.

BATTERIES AND ELECTRICAL

Locations of Batteries and Components

Your boat is equipped with 3 batteries, which are located under the deck access

door. Two batteries are reserved for the engines, while the other battery is used

as a house battery to power the boat’s electronics. The electrical system

consists of the batteries, ACR system as well as two electrical switch panels.

NOTE: AGM style batteries use a different technology than traditional Lead-Acid

batteries. Always install only AGM compatible equipment such as battery

chargers or inverters.

The main electrical panel is located below the helm station and provides power

and electrical safety through fuses to all of the electrical systems onboard the

boat. The main fuse panel also includes the battery selector switch.

The accessory switch panel is located at the helm station is used to power all of

the accessory electronics onboard the boat such as the navigation lights. See

the HELM section for more information.

Automatic Charging Relay System

Your boat is equipped with an automatic charging relay system, which will

automatically combine the batteries when the engine is running for charging,

and isolate them when the engines are off. With this system, you will not need to

use the battery selector switch to charge the batteries.

Battery Selector Switch

The boat uses a set of battery selector switches, which provide isolation for

each battery and also provide the ability to have a backup in case of a dead

or weak starter battery. When in port and running accessories such as

entertainment equipment or pumps, the selector switch should be set to the

ON position. When leaving the boat unattended, the selector switch should

be in the “OFF” position.

The battery switches also contains a COMBINE position, which can be used for

emergencies in the case that your engine batteries are discharged, but the

house battery still has power. The engine COMBINE position combines the

engine batteries, while the main COMBINE position combines all three batteries.

NOTE: Avoid leaving the selector in the “COMBINE” position, as the weak

battery will drain the charged battery, leaving you with two weak batteries.

ONBOARD HEAD

Your boat is equipped with a built in head (toilet) system which includes a

freshwater head, sink, as well as storage pump out tank. This head system is

different from a conventional household toilet system in order to meet the

demands of a marine environment.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

NOTE: Your head system uses fresh water from the onboard freshwater tank,

not raw water, used for the raw water wash-down.

 Verify that the freshwater tank is full

 Verify that the waste tank is NOT full.

ONBOARD HEAD

WARNING: IF THE INDICATOR IS RED (tank is full) THE TOILET WILL NOT

FLUSH

BEFORE/AFTER USE

 Before use, press the ADD WATER button on the toilet control gauge,

located below the tank indicator gauge.

 After use, press the FLUSH bottom on the toilet control gauge

The toilet control panel

NOTE: The onboard head uses a digital toilet control panel, and not a standard

flush valve, found in household toilet facilities.

WARNING: Do not overfill using the ADD WATER button

USING THE BUILT IN SINK

Your boat is equipped with a freshwater sink located inside the boat located aft

(towards the back) of the head locker.

Verify that the freshwater tank is full

NOTE: The “grey water” drains directly to the bilge and is evacuated through the

bilge pump system. Never use the onboard sink to dump chemicals that could

harm marine life.

USING THE OVERBOARD PUMP-OUT FEATURE

WARNING: U.S. Coast Guard regulations prohibit performing waste pump-outs

while near shore. Always check with your local Coast Guard for details before

performing an offshore pump-out.

Your boat is equipped with a wastewater tank pump out which can be used to

empty the waste tank when offshore.

 Always verify that your boat complies with US Coast Guard regulation for

offshore dumping.

ONBOARD HEAD

 Open the pump out valve located on the starboard side of the head.

The waste tank pump out valve

 Press and hold the PUMP OUT button on the HELM to empty the tank.

Close and lock the pump out valve.

WARNING: Always verify that the pump out valve has been successfully closed

before returning to shore. Otherwise the waste tank could leak resulting in

damage.

SAFETY SYSTEMS

FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM

Your boat is equipped with two portable type fire extinguishers. U.S. Coast

Guard Regulation requires that all boats have functioning fire extinguishers.

NOTE: Always know the location and condition of all fire extinguishers on the

boat, and understand their operation.

Location of Onboard Fire Extinguishers

Emergency Engine Stop Lanyard

Your boat is equipped with an automatic engine stop lanyard, also known as a

kill switch. In the event that the captain is thrown overboard, the engine will

automatically shut off.

The engine stop lanyard clips to the operator’s and the engine ignition panel.

NOTE: If the engine will not start always check that the engine stop lanyard is

connected.
