Interior Equipment
12.2 Cabin and Galley
Cabinet Door and Drawer Latches
Most cabinet doors and drawers in the cabin are
secured in the closed position with special latches
that are flush to door or drawer when latched. To
open, press and release the knob. The knob will
pop out one inch, releasing the locking mechanism
and providing a means to pull the door or drawer
open. To close, make sure the door is completely
closed and push the knob in. The knob will stay
in and the locking mechanism will be activated.
Other doors are held closed by “push to close”
latches that latch automatically when the door
is closed.
Cabin Light Switches
All lights in the cabin are powered by the DC elec-
trical system. The overhead lights for the cabin,
V-berth , head compartment and aft berth are
controlled by ON/OFF switches in a panel on the
cabin wall near the companionway. The switch
for the exhaust fan in the head compartment is
also in this switch panel.
Cabin DC Circuit Protection
The circuits for cabin DC lights and accessories
are protected by fuses located in fuse panels in
a compartment accessed through a door on the
starboard side of the aft berth. The fuses are
labeled for the circuits they protect. Refer to the
Electrical Systems chapter for more information
on the DC circuits and fuse panels.
Forward Bilge Access
Access to the forward bilge is provided through a
removable hatch in the cabin sole below the teak
and holly floor panel. The shower sump pump,
forward bilge pump and automatic switch are
among the equipment installed in the forward
bilge compartment.
The teak and holly floor panel is secured to the
cabin sole with Velcro and is removable. To ac-
cess the forward bilge hatch, carefully lift the floor
panel, starting with the port rear corner. Continue
working the panel loose in a clockwise direction
being careful not to flex the panel too much, which
could cause it to crack. Additionally, the panel is
a tight fit and you will need to be careful not to
scratch adjacent cabin woodwork as the panel is
lifted. Once the panel is removed, the hatch is
exposed and can be removed to access the bilge.
