Keep in mind that a Hair Dryer uses 1500 Watts, a Hot Water Heater uses 1500 Watts, the
microwave uses 1000 Watts.
Brief instructions to start the Generator: Go to the main electrical panel. To the right there is
a switch marked “shore”, “off”, “Ship”. Hold the pre-heat switch down while starting the
generator (the starter motor won’t work if not held down for approximately 15 seconds
before turning the start switch on.) Keep the start switch turned until the generator oil
pressure rises to at least 24 and the generator motor comes on. This will take approximately
5 seconds after the generator starts. If the generator does not start within 30 seconds, wait
3minutes and then repeat the sequence. You need to turn the selector switch to ship power
and the meter should show that there is 110V.
Failure to allow running time for the generator engine cooling can result in engine damage.
Run the generator with no load on it for 3 minutes before stopping. Move the rotary switch
to the “off” “position between” shore and “ship”, and allow the generator to run “no load” for
3 minutes. After cooling, move the starter switch to “stop”.
TYING UP TO A BUOY
Tie the mooring line tight and secure to the buoy so that the rope will not chafe or saw off
due to the rough nature of most buoy rings.
When at anchor or tied up to a buoy, the Coast Guard rules require you to display the anchor
light at night. The switch is located at either helm. Spare anchor light bulbs are in the spare
parts box. The light is 12V, and the ships batteries will easily power it over night.

GENERATOR:
1.
Turn on master breaker line one.
2.
Turn on battery charger, breaker on AC panel.
