Hot Water Tank
The HOT WATER HEATER has an 11 gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to
shore
power or via a heat exchanger underway. To use on shore power, flip on the water heater
circuit
breaker on the AC electrical panel. Do not use the water heater if the water tank level is very low. The
water heater is located outside of starboard engine, aft end.
Shower
Before taking a SHOWER, make sure the water pressure and shower sump breaker is on. Take only
very short “boat” showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy
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 stove is electric and is activated by the following steps:
Turn on the “range” breaker “on” the AC
panel. Turn on the individual burner elements.
While using the range, limit the use of the other electrical appliances. There is only a 30 amps
incoming power. Be aware that using the microwave and the range at the same time may exceed the
available power and pop the breaker.
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; otherwise, it will operate on 12-volt power. Monitor the use
of the refrigerator when the engines are not charging the 12-volt battery system. The local power
switch is located below the front door. It can be turned down to the lowest position when anchored or
moored or turned off when turning in for the night.
HEATING SYSTEM
The air conditioning systems can produce heat when operated in reverse cycle mode. However,
reverse
cycle operation is affected by the temperature of the sea water. The cooler the water the less heat
available.
A source of AC power is needed to operate the air conditioner; either shore power or the generator. A
separate shore cable provides power for the air conditioner/heating system (shore #2 on the AC panel).
The generator provides power for both shore #1 and shore #2.
There are two air conditioning units, one for the salon and one for the master berth. To run either or
both assure the air conditioning seacock is open and the seawater strainer is clean (located beneath the
