Gas Generator Operation
1. Open the main generator’s seawater intake valve (seacock) before starting the generator and keep the seacock
valve open during generator operation.
2. Operate the bilge blowers for a minimum of four minutes before starting the generator. The blower switch is
located on the AC panel near the generator controls (see AC panel layout on page 9). If your boat is running
below cruising speed, leave the blowers on while the generator is operating.
3. Verify that the port engine battery switch is turned on.
4. On the AC panel, simultaneously press the oil pressure button (labeled pre-heat) and activate the start switch.
5. Slide the master breaker from dockside power to generator power.
6. Switch the sub-main breaker on.
7. Activate each individual component breaker as required.
To shut off the generator, hold the “off” switch until the generator completely shuts down.
Audio & Visual Equipment
All audio and visual equipment installed on your boat have separate instruction sheets or manuals that explain
their operating procedures in detail.
Navigation & Communication Equipment
The owner’s packet contains operation manuals for all navigation & communication equipment installed on your
boat. We strongly recommend that you thoroughly read and understand these manuals before using these systems.
Additionally, carefully read the warnings below and follow all safety recommendations.
Compass
Your boat is equipped with a compass at the helm.
Depth Finder (Option)
Your boat may feature an optional depth finder (depth sounder) at the helm station. The depth finder provides you
with measurements of water depth beneath the boat.
NOTI C E
AM radio reception may be impaired anytime the engines are running.
NOTI C E
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. We strongly recommend having a quali-
fied technician calibrate your compass. Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card
which shows the corrections to apply in navigational calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation
card at the helm.
• Do not use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat
damage or personal injury.
• When the boat is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already under
the boat. Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat operator to react.
If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, operate the boat at very slow speeds.
