Cycle the throttle levers through their full arc. Set the throttles at lowest level.  Run the engine fan for approx 1 minute - switch on main helm stb side. With the port shift lever in neutral, turn the port engine ignition key to the STARTING position in Main Helm Press port engine start button on main helm. Ensure that cooling water is being expelled from the exhaust.  Repeat the starting process for the starboard engine.  Reduce engine RPM to idle.  In the unlikely event that an engine start battery does not have enough power to start an engine, turn on the PARALLEL switch at either helm position to link both batteries. Stopping  Turning off the stop engine switch located on the main helm stops the engine. Should the engine compartment be very warm, the BLOWER switch can be turned on until it cools. Running under power Please refer to operators manual for 9 more detailed information on above Handling at dockside The counter-rotating propellers cancel out any prop-walk tendency. Undocking and docking should be done with throttles at idle and the wheel centered, using the engines to change direction. If it is necessary to increase engine RPM, it should be done cautiously to avoid sudden acceleration which could injure crew and damage the vessel (and/or other vessels, docks, etc.). Turn on the switch to activate the thrusters - located on the main helm. The bow and stern thrusters should be used in short bursts in conjunction with the engine shifters. Anchoring #1 anchor is located on the bow. It can be raised or lowered with the electric windlass. Power to the windlass is controlled from a master 250 amp breaker located in the electrical compartment in the main cabin, starboard side and from a breaker on the DC panel. When power is available, the windlass can be operated from foot switches on the deck at the bow or from toggle switches at the main helm . It is strongly recommended that the foredeck foot switches be used in preference to the helm switches. To lower the anchor, first turn on power to the windlass. Lift the cover over the DOWN switch. Remove the safety bracket located adjacent the anchor. Pay out enough chain to ease the anchor over the bow roller. When in position, pay out chain with the foot switch or with a helm position toggle switch until the desired scope is achieved. Once the anchor is set, ensure that the foot switch cover is closed to prevent accidental engagement. It is advisable to leave the windlass power switch on while at anchor in case it becomes necessary to adjust the scope. It is also suggested that a snubber line be attached to the chain and the tension then taken on this line to one of the bow cleats, leaving the chain from the snubber to the roller slack. This will prevent the chain from moving the roller back and forth, which transmits noise throughout the boat. Weighing anchor must be done with the engines running and in neutral. Using the foredeck foot switches will allow immediate awareness of any problems if the anchor is fouled and avoid serious damage to the equipment. Forward gear may be engaged for short periods if wind conditions are causing difficulty or if the windlass is overloaded. Use caution when retrieving the chain to avoid damage to the hull and deck. Make sure that it is securely seated in the windlass gypsy. As the anchor nears the bow roller, use short bursts of power to bring it aboard without jamming. The chain can be rinsed with sea-water as it is being retrieved. Open the through-hull in the companionway and turn on the RAW WATER PUMP breaker on the DC panel. The hose is in the port compartment at the bow. Please refer to operators manual for more detailed information on above 10 Charts The three charts shown in the inventory are stowed in the guest stateroom drawer below the bed. An additional chart is stored in guest room closet starboard side. Publications are stowed in the centre compartment starboard in the main cabin. Depth Sounder A Northstar depth sounder is located at the main helm manuals are located in the guest stateroom drawer under the bed (see operations manual) Radar/GPS/Sonar A Raymarine unit is located at the lower helm station. To turn on, press the POWER switch, then wait for the warm-up cycle to complete. (3 minutes). The unit will then be in STANDBY mode. Press the POWER switch (lower left) to begin transmission. Make necessary adjustments to range, gain, etc. To turn off, press and hold the POWER switch until the screen goes blank. (See Owner’s Manual for further information).

Each has a self-contained cooling system which is, in turn, cooled by sea water through a heat exchanger. This system also heats water for the pressure water system connected to the galley and head sinks and showers. Check engine oil, coolant level and belts daily. Perform other checks at least weekly. Access to the engine compartment is through hatches in the main cabin. Thru-hull fittings for raw water coolant are located aft of each engine, as are the raw water strainers. Fueling Two fuel tanks are located in the engine compartment and are filled through fillers port and starboard on the deck amidships. Fill slowly and listen for the change in pitch of the sound of air venting from the tank as it fills. Canadian fuel dock staff are not permitted to actually pump fuel into boats. They will bring the hose to you and take it from you when fueling is finished. Confirm that the hose is for diesel fuel before pumping fuel. Ensure that the boat is well secured, all electric switches are turned off, all passengers are off the boat, all hatches are closed and that the filler nozzle makes firm contact with the filler pipe. After filling run the engine compartment blower for 1 minute prior to starting engines Dinghy An inflatable dinghy is provided with a 3.5 hp outboard motor. for cruising. Ensure that all required safety equipment is aboard the dinghy before setting out. See operators manual for correct use of the outboard motor. Located in the guest stateroom cupboard under the bed. Please refer to operators manual for detailed information 12 ACCOMMODATION Sleeping There are two sleeping cabins, Forward and aft Cooking The galley stovetop is electric with 2 burners. This requires either 110V, 30amp shore power or the ship’s generator to operate. There is a breaker on the AC panel. A microwave oven is mounter above the stovetop. Ensure that it is cleaned after each use. Heating?Air conditioning Heating is supplied by a three zone air conditioner with reverse cycle heat - 18,000 BTU (1)/7,000 BTU (2) includes single 50 amp 240 dockside inlet. Adjust temperature controls in each zone to suit. Refrigeration A full size refrigerator has a separate freezer compartment In the main galley. The 12 volt system draws heavily on the batteries when the yacht is not connected to shore power or when the generator is not running. There is also an ice-maker built main deck i. It is 110 volt powered and should be shut off when at anchor to avoid draining the inverter batteries. Please refer to operators manual for more detailed information on above 13 Barbecue A propane barbecue is mounted on the railing starboard side. Simply connect the screw-on tank to the regulator on the barbecue located under the seat on the aft deck. Open the valve on the tank and the barbecue cover, press down on the control knob until propane flows, holding a lighted match or the clicker in the opening on the front below the grill. When finished cooking, leave on for about 5 minutes and then shut off. This will dry the residue on the grill which can then be cleaned with the wire brush located in the locker. Extra screw-on propane tanks are stowed aft deck seating. Water The fresh water tanks filler is located on the aft rear swim deck on the stairs. A hose is stowed in the transon box. The hose may also be used to connect to shore supply, when available, while dockside. A pressure pump distributes both hot and cold water throughout the system. The hot water tank is heated by the engine cooling system or by 110V AC when shore power is connected. A 30 amp connection is recommended. Please refer to operators manual for more detailed information on above 14 Head There are 2 Vacu-flush toilets onboard. These use fresh water from the boats’s tanks. If they have been idle for some time, it is necessary to prime the system before use. Power must be turned on at the Toilet System breakers on the main DC panel. Flush water into the system by depressing the flush lever (foot pedal) on the toilet until water starts flowing to the vacuum pump, approximately 15 seconds. The vacuum pump will run for about 30 to 90 seconds until the system reaches operating vacuum level and then will shut off. Once primed, the system is operated with the foot pedal. To add water, lift the pedal until the desired water level is reached. After use, flush by depressing the foot pedal to fully down. Hold it down for at least 3 seconds. A small amount of water should remain in the bowl after flushing. The marine toilet can only process that which has been eaten or drunk and a small amount of single-ply toilet paper. DO NOT put any other items such as hair, kleenex, paper towel, sanitary products, etc into the marine toilet. The water and waste is pumped into a holding tank mounted in the engine room. It must be emptied twice daily when in deep water, well away from shoreside anchorages and before returning the boat to False Creek. Ensure that the through-hull valve in the engine room is open. Close the valve upon completion. The macerator pump is operated from the DC panel in the main cabin. Turn on the MACERATOR breaker to operate. Shower The hot water system will supply up to 11 gallons of hot water. It is suggested that the shower be used for wetting and rinsing and not be left on continuously. An automatic sump pump drains the shower while in use. There is also a rinse-off shower at the transom entry. This should be used when returning from ashore to prevent sand and mud from being tracked aboard and damaging the fibreglass. When dockside, it is suggested that the boat be connected to the shore water supply using the hose stowed in the transom box. The shore connection is ilocated on the rear swim deck starboard side.
