TYING UP
There are four dock lines supplied for this purpose. Three are 25’ and a forth is 15’. The shorter line works best on the stern cleat. The midship cleat is normally used to keep the boat from moving for and aft by using two lines from this location. The bow and stern cleats will keep the boats proximity to the dock at the desired distance and angle. At least four fenders should be used in side-tie situations. The boat should not be tied so tight that it is held firmly against the fenders. This will cause chaffing as the boat is in constant contact with the fenders as it moves. When getting underway, the fenders should be rinsed lightly with fresh water from the transom shower. After they have dried they can be stowed in the lazarette at the base and aft of the access ladder. A boat hook is stored in this same location and can be keep on deck at times when one will likely be needed.
2.1
At The DOCK
FRESH WATER
When fresh water is available at the dock, “DEVOCEAN” s fresh water tanks should be topped off. A hose located in the transom locker has been supplied for this purpose. “DEVOCEAN” SHOULD NEVER BE COUPLED DIRECTLEY TO THE MUNICIPLE WATER SYSTEM AND OPPERATED ON MUNICIPLE WATER PREASURE. Instead, fill the tanks and allow the system pump to pressure the fresh water system. When filling the tanks. use the hose to fill the tanks by adding water through the deck fitting located amidships on the port side. A female hose connection located below the fresh water deck cap is for filling the auxiliary water tanks and should not be used. These auxiliary tanks are strictly for extended cruises where fresh water may not be available. If this is anticipated, contact AYC for instructions on how to use the extra water tanks. The primary system tanks hold 70 gallons and should be enough for normal cruising of about a week. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE FREAH WATER DECK CAP IS NOT TEATHERED TO THE FITTING AND WILL BE LOOSE WHEN UNSCREWED.
2.2

FUEL DOCK
Fuel dock locations are: CAP SANTE BOAT HAVEN ANACORTES MARINA FRIDAY HARBOR Of course, this is a diesel engine and generator. Nothing should be put in the fuel tank except NEW, CLEAN, HIGH QULITY #2 DIESEL FUEL! Fueling can be accomplished from either the port or starboard sides. Use the deck cap on either side located at mid ship. Both of these caps serve the same tank. Having two caps is for convenience. Note: When filling from one side, loosening the cap on the other side will aid in venting the tank and prevent the fuel from foaming over on the side you are using. A sight gage mounted on the forward bulkhead in the engine compartment can be viewed from the base of the access ladder and will show when tanks are full. Listening near the fill cap is also helpful. Don’t get bummed about the cost of fuel. A trawler like this one with its single Cummins diesel, gets two to three times the fuel economy of a comparable motoryacht.
2.3
At The DOCK
PUMP OUT
Upon returning from a cruise or an outing in the islands, the holding tank will need to be emptied. Overboard discharge of waste water is possible and “DEVOCEAN” is equipped with a mascerator. However, overboard discharge is illegal except when offshore and it is unlikely you will be in that situation. Pumping out the holding tanks at an approved pump-out station is accomplished thru the deck cap marked “waste” located amidships on the starboard side. Pump-out stations are located at “Cap Sante” Boat Haven and the fuel dock at Anacortes Marina. It’s a simple process, but a pair of gloves may make you feel more comfortable. A gauge located on the side of the vanity cabinet near the paper holder will indicate the holding tank level and its need to be pumped out during your cruise. Remove the deck cap. NOTE: THIS CAP IS NOT TETHERED TO THE FITTING AND WILL BE LOOSE. Follow the instructions on the pump at the station you are using. After emptying the tank, it is always a good idea to run a fair amount of fresh water to the tank thru the deck cap and pump it out a second time. This flushes out the tank. Put the cap back on and you’re good to go! NEVER INTRODUCE RAW (SALT) WATER INTO THE WASTE TANK OR HEAD SYSTEM. The advantage of the Vacu-Flush head is that it is a fresh water system. Much of the odor in other types of marine heads can be attributed to their use of raw sea water in the head and holding tank. If you should encounter a pump station that uses a cam type fire hose coupler, rather than a tapered rubber tip, an adapter is stored in the transom locker for this purpose.

SHORE POWER
Shore power is simply AC power available at most marinas for use by vessels which are moored there. Normally this is 110 volt power but is supplied in a variety of outlet configurations according to the amperage supplied at that particular hook-up. 30 amp is the most common and “DEVOCEAN” is supplied with a single 30 amp connection cord that is 50 ft in length. A household style 15 amp adapter is also supplied and can be found in the tool box at the base of the engine room hatch ladder. Also in this tool box are adapters for 15 and 20 amp power outlets found at some marinas. When not in use, the yellow shore power cord is stored in the transom locker adjacent to the shore power inlet receptacle. When connecting to shore power, it is an important safety consideration to connect the boat end first and then connect the shore end last. When a proper connection has been made and the shore service breaker has been turned on, check the meter on the right side of the AC distribution panel. The meter should read 110 to 120 volts. If no voltage is indicated by the meter, check the “LINE 1” breaker near the inlet receptacle on the port side of the transom. The power cord should be connected to “LINE 1” When the proper voltage is indicated, the left amber light beneath the shore power 1 breaker on the panel should be lit. This light is showing that power is available to the incoming side of that breaker. Now turn on the “shore power 1” breaker (item1- figure 5.50) and power will be fed to the left bank of the panel. To energize the right bank of the panel, turn on the “transfer breaker” (item 4- figure 5.50). Now the 30 amps of shore power is being shared by both banks on the panel. Refer to the panel diagram found at 5.50 When disconnecting from shore power, first turn off these two breakers (items 1&4 – figure 5.50).
• NOTE BREAKER 19 (INVERTER) SHOULD REMAIN “ON” AT ALL TIMES. BREAKER 18 (BATT CHARGER) SHOULD ONLY BE TURNED OFF WHEN STARTING AND RUNNING EITHER THE MAIN ENGINE OR THE GENERATOR. This will prevent the start batteries from being charged by the engine alternator and the battery charger at the same time.

PREPARING TO LEAVE – CHECK LISTS
ELECTRICAL
• Shut off “shore power 1” breaker (refer to item 1‐figure 5.50 “elec dist panels”).
• Remove Shore power cord – unhook dock end first. Refer to 2.50 shore power cord. The cord can be stored in the transom locker.
• After removing cord, secure Velcro holders to railing so they will be right where you need them when you are ready to hook back up.
ENGINE
• Battery switch, located under steps at engine room access hatch, should be in the “ALL” position. While moored without shorepower, this battery switch can be turned to the #1 (house) position. However this is not necessary as DEVOCEAN is equipped with isolators to protect the start batteries from being drained by the house loads.
• On DC panel, Turn on breakers: DC main, Bridge main and Engine #1 (items 4, 5 & 19 – figure 5.50).
• Engine control lever should be in the vertical (neutral) position.
• It is helpful at this point to turn the ACC switch at both helm stations to the on position so as not to forget before getting underway.
• Turn on the Raymarine navigation system. See electronic navigation 3.3
• Has the engine oil level been checked?
• Is the engine fuel ball valve in the open position?

STARTING ENGINE
• Make sure you have set breakers and switches in accordance with the previous heading: “preparing to leave”.
• The ignition “off‐ on‐ start” toggle (item 1 –figure 3.20) needs to be in the “on” position. If this is so, the engine start alarm will sound.
• Now press and release the black button (item 2 –figure 3.20) on the lower face of the controller. The start alarm will cease, and the red light (item 3 –figure 3.20) on top of the controller will come on. If this light is not illuminated the engine will not start.
• To start engine, hold the ignition switch in the start position until the engine starts. Then release the start switch and allow the switch to return to the on position.
• To increase RPMs without engaging the prop, first depress and hold the black button (item 2 –figure 3.20). The red light (item 3 –figure 3.20) at the top of the controller will light, if it is not already lit. While holding the button in, move the control lever ‐4‐ forward a small amount to the first detent. Now let out on the button and if you are in neutral, the red light will begin to flash. To throttle up the engine, continue moving the lever forward by small amounts. RPMs should be limited to 1400.
THRUSTER ON
• It should be noted that the thruster control is on automatic shut‐off. It is good to make sure the thruster control is “on” when you need it! So, turn it on before you put the prop in gear. However, remember that if not used for several minutes while maneuvering in the marina, the control will shut itself off and you may need to turn it on again. Both “on” buttons have to be held down simultaneously to accomplish this.
DOCKLINES
• After the dock lines have been removed they may be hung on the hooks outside the aft cabin door. Salt water is nasty stuff when it dries. Care should be taken not to give the dock lines a dunking before they come aboard.
• Fenders can be hung from the same hooks as the dock lines or rinse them with fresh water, and when they are dry, they can be stored in the lazzarette aft of the engine room access.
REMEMBER – JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT THE BOAT IN GEAR, DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN GEAR. NEUTRAL IS YOUR FRIEND IF THE WIND IS NOT BLOWING. SLOW IS GOOD IN THE MARINA AND SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR IS HOW TO GO SLOWER.

SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE
BEFORE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE
• It is best to switch the active control to the helm station that will most likely be used when restarting. This is usually the lower helm.
• Make sure that the boat has been secured and you are satisfied it will not go adrift without power.
• Allow the engine to run a minute or two at idle to cool down, especially if just having completed a good run.
IGNITION OFF
• Simply switch the “OFF”, “ON”, “START” to the off position
• Turn off the c‐120 navigation display. This is done by holding down on the red power button. As you hold it down you will see a shut down window displayed and it will count down several seconds before the power goes off. Continue holding the button down until this countdown is complete.
• Turn off the accessory switches at both helms.
• Turn off the Engine #1 breaker on the DC distribution panel.
• Switch the battery switch to “HOUSE #1”
• Turn off the “Bridge Main” breaker unless using the Artic‐Kool ref/freezer which requires the “Bridge Main” breaker be “ON”.

BATTERY SWITCH & INVERTER
BATTERY SWITCH
• The main battery switch is located under the engine room steps. Located above it is a smaller battery switch. The smaller switch is for the generator start battery and is only turned on when starting and running the generator. The main switch is only turned off when working on the electrical system or its components. NEVER turn this switch to the “OFF” position with the engine running as damage will occur to the engine alternator. The normal position, when moored on anchor or at the marina, for the main switch is the “HOUSE #1” position. The switch should be turned to “ALL” or “ENG #2” when starting the main engine. It may be necessary to use the “ENG #2” setting if power to the house battery has been drawn down too far and the battery is too weak to start the engine. After starting the engine the switch should be kept in the “ALL” position while cruising so that both batteries are being charged by the engine alternator. DO NOT cross the “OFF” position when changing the switch with the engine running. After shutting down the engine, turn the switch back to the “HOUSE #1” position while moored. The generator start battery is separated from the engine and house batteries. This protects the gen‐start battery from being drawn down and the generator can always be started in an emergency to charge up the other batteries. See the “GENERATOR” section, 4.5 for other information on power management and using the generator and batteries efficiently.
INVERTER as BATTERY CHARGER
• The inverter has two functions. First, it can provide a limited amount of AC power when the other two sources (shore power & generator) are not available. Second, it maintains (charges) the house battery. Because it is constantly maintaining and monitoring the house battery, the inverter breaker, #19 (see figure 5.50), should be left in the “ON” position at all times. When this breaker on the AC panel is on, the maintenance and charging functions of the inverter will automatically activate. It is not necessary to turn the charger on at the touch pad unless it has been turned off at the touch pad. If the inverter breaker has been shut off and is turned back on, its response will be interrupted for a few seconds while it does a self test and diagnostics. Then it will come back on and the breaker light will illuminate. The LEDs on the charger section of the touch
4.4
4.4
pad will indicate the action of the charger and the “battery status” will show the house battery voltage. The inverter will only be charging the batteries if it has a source of AC power to draw from, such as shore power or the generator (if it is running). By leaving the inverter breaker “ON”, the inverter is able to detect that source when it is present on the AC panel. It should be noted that in order for any AC power source to be present on the right hand side of the AC panel, the panels transfer breaker must also be in the “ON” position. The only other way for power to be supplied to the right side of the panel is thru the “shore power 2” connection which is almost never available.
INVERTER as AC POWER SOURCE
• THE INVERTER FUNCTION SHOULD NOT BE USED TO SUPPLY AC POWER TO THE AC PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THE GENERATOR IS BEING USED FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE. IN SHORT, DO NOT USE THE INVERTER FUNCTION WHILE THE GENERATOR IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, THE INVERTERS CHARGER FUNCTION CAN AND SHOULD BE USED.
• The need for AC power, while either underway or moored off shore, may be met with the use of the inverter function. The “SHORE POWER 1” main breaker and the “GENERATOR” breaker should both be in the “OFF” position, as they would be in either of these situations while not using the generator. To activate the inverter function, press the “ON” button in the inverter section of the touch pad. The invert light will be illuminated and AC power will be supplied to the following circuits: These are marked “INV” on the AC panel.
1. MICROWAVE 2. OUTLETS #2 – head and v‐birth 3. ACCESSORY – left side of panel – salon and galley outlets 4. ACCESSORY – right side of panel – TV
The refrigerator runs on either AC or DC and does not require the use of the inverter.
• The inverter function should be shut off when not in use or when preparing to use the generator or shore power.

• IS GENERATOR FUEL VALVE OPEN? – located next to engine fuel valve at the center of the forward bulkhead in the engine room. See figure 1.3
• GENERATOR OIL LEVEL?
• TURN ON GENERATOR START BATTERY SWITCH. See figure 4.53
STARTING THE GENERATOR
• The generator ignition switch is located at the bottom left side of the DC distribution panel. It is under the stainless steel guard bar and is labeled “GEN CONTROL” – “START/STOP”. You will notice that although this is a two position spring loaded toggle, the lever may be pushed straight in. Pressing in against the spring activates the glow plug.
• Activate glow plug for about 20 seconds, then press the lever to the left to engage the starter. Hold the starter on until the gen is fully started. It should start easily and not require more than 5 to 10 seconds of cranking. If it does not start wait several minutes before trying it again. – REPEATED LONG PERIODS OF CRANKING WILL NOT ONLY BURN UP THE STARTER, IT WILL ALSO PUMP SEAWATER INTO THE ENGINE.
• After starting, check the aft port side thru hull to see that water is being cycled by the generator.
• After a few minutes to warm up, power may be supplied to the panel. At the DC panel, turn on the generator main breaker( #3 figure 5.50 )

• With the transfer breaker “ON” both sides of the panel have been energized with 5kw of AC power. This is almost double the power available thru the shore power 1 connection.
NOTE: WHEN MOORED AWAY FROM SHORE POWER, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GENERATORS POWER AND PLAN YOUR AC NEEDS TO BE SERVED CONCURRENTLY. FOR INSTANCE, IF USING THE ELECTRIC RANGE FOR COOKING DINNER, YOU MAY WANT TO HEAT WATER FOR A SHOWER AND CHARGE BATTERIES AT THE SAME TIME. ANOTHER ENERGY SAVING TIP IS TO PLAN THE USE OF HOT WATER SHORTLY AFTER THE END OF A CRUISE, AS THE ENGINE IS ALSO HEATING THE HOT DOMESTIC WATER.

• To operate the winch. Twist the black cap at the end of the motor assembly in the direction you want the spool to wind. ‐1‐
Launching the Dinghy
• Remove the holding cable ‐2‐ that is attached to the cleat at the top center of the transom. This is done by standing inside the cockpit and reaching over the transom. With one hand, grip the top bar of the davit ‐3‐. While bracing against the transom with your knees, pull back on the davit with one hand while removing the cable with the other. Or, have someone remove the cable while you pull back with both hands.
• Put the drain plug in the outside of the dinghies transom.
• Now the winch switch can be rotated counterclockwise which will lower the dinghy.
• When the starboard side of the dinghy contacts the water, the red strap ‐4‐ that prevents the dinghy from swinging can be removed and left in the cockpit.
• Continue lowering the dinghy until the hanging cables are slack.
• The hanging cables are most easily removed by unclipping them from inside the dinghy as you leave the main vessel.
*IMPORTANT – WHEN WINDING THE CABLE BACK ON
THE WINCH SPOOL, DO NOT WIND PAST THE RED MARKING TAPE! -5-
• The final tilting motion of the davit must be performed by hand while reattaching the holding cable to the cleat. Notice that one holding cable loop is slightly longer than the other. The shorter loop should go on the cleat first.
• Be certain to remove the drain plug from the dinghy. Hundreds of pounds of rain water can collect in the boat.
• The dinghy must be retrieved with the bow towards the Mainship’s starboard side, to insure water will drain from the dinghy properly.

HEAD “DEVOCEAN” is equipped with a VACUFLUSH head. The advantage of this system is that it uses fresh water. Much of the odor in other types of head systems can be attributed to their use of raw sea water in the head and holding tank. Water can be added to the bowl by lifting up on the foot lever, but normally this is not necessary. The head is flushed by pushing down on the lever with a swift positive motion then releasing the lever and allowing it to come back up. The waste and the small amount of water in the bowl are sucked out of the bowl by vacuum. After flushing you will hear the vacuum pump recharging. After a minute or so this should stop and the head is ready for use again.
*DO NOT USE ANY PAPER OTHER THAN THE PAPER THAT IS PROVIDED. THIS IS A SPECIAL PAPER DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR MARINE HEADS. DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING DOWN THE TOILET THAT HAS NOT GONE THROUGH YOUR BODY FIRST.
THE HOLDING TANK HAS BEEN TREATED WITH “ODORLOS”. THIS IS A NITRATE THAT RESULTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN RATHER THAN HYDROGEN SULFIDE. UNLIKE HYDROGEN SULFIDE, HITROGEN IS ODORLESS.

BATTERY SWITCH & INVERTER
BATTERY SWITCH
• The main battery switch is located under the engine room steps. Located above it is a smaller battery switch. The smaller switch is for the generator start battery and is only turned on when starting and running the generator. The main switch is only turned off when working on the electrical system or its components. NEVER turn this switch to the “OFF” position with the engine running as damage will occur to the engine alternator. The normal position, when moored on anchor or at the marina, for the main switch is the “HOUSE #1” position. The switch should be turned to “ALL” or “ENG #2” when starting the main engine. It may be necessary to use the “ENG #2” setting if power to the house battery has been drawn down too far and the battery is too weak to start the engine. After starting the engine the switch should be kept in the “ALL” position while cruising so that both batteries are being charged by the engine alternator. DO NOT cross the “OFF” position when changing the switch with the engine running. After shutting down the engine, turn the switch back to the “HOUSE #1” position while moored. The generator start battery is separated from the engine and house batteries. This protects the gen‐start battery from being drawn down and the generator can always be started in an emergency to charge up the other batteries. See the “GENERATOR” section, 4.5 for other information on power management and using the generator and batteries efficiently.
INVERTER as BATTERY CHARGER
• The inverter has two functions. First, it can provide a limited amount of AC power when the other two sources (shore power & generator) are not available. Second, it maintains (charges) the house battery. Because it is constantly maintaining and monitoring the house battery, the inverter breaker, #19 (see figure 5.50), should be left in the “ON” position at all times. When this breaker on the AC panel is on, the maintenance and charging functions of the inverter will automatically activate. It is not necessary to turn the charger on at the touch pad unless it has been turned off at the touch pad. If the inverter breaker has been shut off and is turned back on, its response will be interrupted for a few seconds while it does a self test and diagnostics. Then it will come back on and the breaker light will illuminate. The LEDs on the charger section of the touch

pad will indicate the action of the charger and the “battery status” will show the house battery voltage. The inverter will only be charging the batteries if it has a source of AC power to draw from, such as shore power or the generator (if it is running). By leaving the inverter breaker “ON”, the inverter is able to detect that source when it is present on the AC panel. It should be noted that in order for any AC power source to be present on the right hand side of the AC panel, the panels transfer breaker must also be in the “ON” position. The only other way for power to be supplied to the right side of the panel is thru the “shore power 2” connection which is almost never available.
INVERTER as AC POWER SOURCE
• THE INVERTER FUNCTION SHOULD NOT BE USED TO SUPPLY AC POWER TO THE AC PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THE GENERATOR IS BEING USED FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE. IN SHORT, DO NOT USE THE INVERTER FUNCTION WHILE THE GENERATOR IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, THE INVERTERS CHARGER FUNCTION CAN AND SHOULD BE USED.
• The need for AC power, while either underway or moored off shore, may be met with the use of the inverter function. The “SHORE POWER 1” main breaker and the “GENERATOR” breaker should both be in the “OFF” position, as they would be in either of these situations while not using the generator. To activate the inverter function, press the “ON” button in the inverter section of the touch pad. The invert light will be illuminated and AC power will be supplied to the following circuits: These are marked “INV” on the AC panel.
1. MICROWAVE 2. OUTLETS #2 – head and v‐birth 3. ACCESSORY – left side of panel – salon and galley outlets 4. ACCESSORY – right side of panel – TV
The refrigerator runs on either AC or DC and does not require the use of the inverter.
• The inverter function should be shut off when not in use or when preparing to use the generator or shore power.

GENERATOR
THIS “NEXT GENERATION” 5.5kw GENERATOR IS POWERED BY A KUBOTA DIESEL AND BURNS ABOUT .25 GALLONS PER HOUR. * IF RUN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN HOT WEATHER, THE SOUND SHIELD SHOULD BE OPENED TO AID IN COOLING THE UNIT.
BREAKER SETTINGS
• SHORE POWER #1 – OFF
• MOVE SLIDE BAR FROM COVERING THE GENERATOR BREAKER TO THE LEFT WHERE IT COVERS THE SHORE POWER 1 BREAKER – DO NOT TURN ON THE GENERATOR BREAKER UNTIL THE GENERATOR IS RUNNING AND HAD A FEW MINUTES TO WARM UP.
• TRANSFER BREAKER ‐ ON
CHECK THESE BEFORE YOU START GENERATOR
• IS GENERATOR SEACOCK OPEN? – located at base of steps to lazzarete
• IS GENERATOR FUEL VALVE OPEN? – located next to engine fuel valve at the center of the forward bulkhead in the engine room. See figure 1.3
• GENERATOR OIL LEVEL?
• TURN ON GENERATOR START BATTERY SWITCH. See figure 4.53
STARTING THE GENERATOR
• The generator ignition switch is located at the bottom left side of the DC distribution panel. It is under the stainless steel guard bar and is labeled “GEN CONTROL” – “START/STOP”. You will notice that although this is a two position spring loaded toggle, the lever may be pushed straight in. Pressing in against the spring activates the glow plug.
• Activate glow plug for about 20 seconds, then press the lever to the left to engage the starter. Hold the starter on until the gen is fully started. It should start easily and not require more than 5 to 10 seconds of cranking. If it does not start wait several minutes before trying it again. – REPEATED LONG PERIODS OF CRANKING WILL NOT ONLY BURN UP THE STARTER, IT WILL ALSO PUMP SEAWATER INTO THE ENGINE.

• After starting, check the aft port side thru hull to see that water is being cycled by the generator.
• After a few minutes to warm up, power may be supplied to the panel. At the DC panel, turn on the generator main breaker( #3 figure 5.50 )
• With the transfer breaker “ON” both sides of the panel have been energized with 5kw of AC power. This is almost double the power available thru the shore power 1 connection.
NOTE: WHEN MOORED AWAY FROM SHORE POWER, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GENERATORS POWER AND PLAN YOUR AC NEEDS TO BE SERVED CONCURRENTLY. FOR INSTANCE, IF USING THE ELECTRIC RANGE FOR COOKING DINNER, YOU MAY WANT TO HEAT WATER FOR A SHOWER AND CHARGE BATTERIES AT THE SAME TIME. ANOTHER ENERGY SAVING TIP IS TO PLAN THE USE OF HOT WATER SHORTLY AFTER THE END OF A CRUISE, AS THE ENGINE IS ALSO HEATING THE HOT DOMESTIC WATER.
ALSO, RUNNING THE GENERATOR IN THE MORNING WHILE MAKING COFFEE AND FIXING BREAKFAST IS A GOOD TIME TO CHARGE BATTERIES THAT HAVE BEEN USED DURING THE NIGHT.

CABIN SOFASLEEPER
• To convert the SOFA to a SLEEPER, first remove the arm rests by pulling them straight up. Now remove the three back cushions. Next, tip down the front panel at the base of the sofa. Finally, lift up and pull forward to open the bed.
HEATING
• A small electric heater has been provided to take the chill from the cabin on cool nights and mornings. This requires the either shore power or the generator. The heater should not be run off of the inverter as this will run down the batteries in a short time. When running the heater on shore power, remember that other appliances cannot be used at the same time the heater is running due to overloading the circuit.

GALLEY REFRIGERATOR
• This is an AC/DC frig so both breakers (AC and DC) need to be “ON”.
• The ArticKool on the bridge can be used as an auxillary frig or as a freezer, however it is DC only and will use battery power in between chargings. It runs off the BRIDGE MAIN breaker.
ELECTRICAL OUTLET
• Is located on the bottom of the upper cabinet to the far right hand side
• Be sure to unplug the coffee pot when not in use
STOVE
• This is a big power user. Use by itself when on shore power.
