Docking 

 
During docking, use the FLYBRIDGE HELM

 

for greater visibility to the stern.  Have your crew make ready 

the lines and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking.  Often times your crew will 
need to step off from the swim step with the stern line.  Another crew member will need to be at the bow or 
mid-ships to hand over the next lines. 
 

 

Fueling Up 

 

OPEN FILLER CAP(S) located  midships on both sides

 

with a DECK FITTING KEY  which is kept in 

forward galley drawer. 
 

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUEL!   DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL!  MAKE SURE IT IS 

GOING INTO THE RIGHT DECK FILL!  

DOUBLE-CHECK!

 

 
Before pumping, have an oil/fuel sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel.  You should have a rough idea of the 
number of gallons you will need by the engine hour indicator.  Also periodically have someone turn on the 
key to watch the fuel gauge.   

 

Place the DIESEL  nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note the sound of the fuel 
flow.  Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from the 
tank opening.  As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle.  Pay attention to the TANK 
OVERFLOW VENT

 

on the outside of the hull near the tank opening.  The sound may indicate that the tank 

is nearly full.  Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Spillage may result in a nasty fine 
from law enforcement. 
 
 Replace each tank cap.  Turn on blower before starting engines. 

Caution -- Clean up splatter and spillage 

immediately for environmental and health reasons.  Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly.

   

 

BOAT ELECTRICAL 

The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC

 
The systems are controlled from the AC  ELECTRICAL PANEL located  in the salon at the helm,  the DC 
AUXILIARY PANEL located  in the same location and is the top portion.  The BATTERY SWITCHES 
FOUND  near floor by helm.   When not connected to shore power, batteries are providing all power.  
Therefore, monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with your volt meter located in DC panel and turn 
off electrical devices that are not needed. 
 
Most breakers are labeled by colored dots.  Green signifies “usually on”.  Red is “usually off”  Blue dots are 
water pressure or water-related like pumps.  Yellow signifies electronics or items to use cautiously.  No dots 
are breakers signify irregular use or use with discretion.
