Safety / Bilge Pumps
SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A MAN OVERBOARD DRILL should be
discussed and perhaps even practiced with a life jacket. Lifejackets are stowed in the Starboard cockpit
seat locker. A few should always be out and ready. Your flares and safety equipment are located in the
same area (P 35).
Acadia is equipped with an AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMP. The master switch is located next to the hot
water heater under main settee facing forward seat (L 9). Normally, the switch will be left in the AUTO
position. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log
accumulating in the bilge (P 36).
An AUXILIARY HAND OPERATED BILGE PUMP is located under the stern seat in the cockpit using
the handle provided for that purpose stored in Starboard cockpit lazarette locker (L 14). This is used only
in emergency situations. An EMERGENCY TILLER is also located in this locker (p 37).
There are no spare propellers aboard.
Onboard Tools
An onboard tool kit with wire/bolt cutter, socket sets and miscellaneous tools is located in main cabin
Port settee locker forward (L 2) (P 38). Parts and equipment spares are also located in labeled drawers in
Port lazarette locker (P 39).
Barbeque
The BARBECUE is mounted on the Starboard stern railing. A spare propane bottle is located in the
Propane locker in aft cockpit area (P 40, L 15).
Carefully light the unit, preferably with a long-stem butane lighter. The barbecue generates a lot of heat
and cooks hot and fast. Please wipe with a paper towel before storing to prevent grease and dirt soiling
the boat.
Note: Propane bottles are not stocked by AYC. You will need to purchase one if extras are not found on
board.
