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 completely off after use. 

 

GALLEY 

Stove/oven  

 

 

The stovetop and oven both operate with propane gas.  Turn on the “stove” breaker on the AC panel.  
Your propane stove is activated by the following steps:  

 

   #1  Turn on the propane tank on the fly bridge (located to the left of the upper helm under the console.) 
   #2  Turn on the Electronic Solenoid ( Electro Systems) located to the right of the lower helm wheel. 

a.

 

Press lightning bolt symbol. 

b.

 

Press propane-looking button. 

   #3  Turn on the gas at the stovetop (Press in knob) and light burner with a hand-held lighter.  You might 
need to hold knob in for a few seconds while the thermo-couple warms up.  The same applies to lighting 
the oven. When finished cooking,  turn off the electronic solenoid switch (lower helm)  and the propane 
bottle (upper helm).                          

Refrigerator 

The REFRIGERATOR is dual voltage (12-volt and 110-volt power).  It will automatically use 110-volt 
power when the shore power is connected or the generator is running; otherwise, it will operate on 12-volt 
power.  Monitor the use of the refrigerator when the 12-volt battery system  is not being charged.  
Minimizing openings helps a lot! 

 

 
 

HEATING SYSTEM 

 

Diesel Heater (DC) 

 

The DIESEL HOT WATER HEATING  FURNACE  is  located  in the engine  room just inside the door 
from the cockpit.   It provides heat by supplying heated liquid to radiant heaters in the living spaces.  Turn 
the rotary switch at the helm to “Summer;” turn on the breakers at the helm for “forward, mid, and aft 
heat,” and turn up the thermostat to the desired temperature in each space.  
 
Check the furnace EXHAUST PORT (located on the port side hull) for any obstruction such as fenders or 
lines.  Do not block this opening when operating the furnace.  Heat will damage fiberglass or rubber.  
Once it is on, allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off.
