AC Transfer Switch
If your Chesapeake is equipped with a generator, there will be a transfer switch located on the
generator panel beneath the AC/DC panel. This switch permits you to operate your AC
accessories by either shore power or generator. This switch prevents the operation of the shore
power and the generator simultaneously.
Blower
A blower is included with the generator option. The blower provides ventilation to the engine
compartment and should run at least 4 minutes before starting the generator. Using the blower
does not take the place of checking the engine compartment by sight and smell for gasoline
vapors. The blower is located in the aft rigging compartment beside the batteries.
Generator Start/Stop Switch
The generator start/stop switch is located in the cabin beneath the AC/DC panel. This switch
permits you to start and stop your optional generator from the cabin.

ONDITIONER
The control panel for the air conditioner is located in the galley cabinet forward of the
microwave. There are two vents in the cabin, one in the galley near the microwave and the other
in the aft berth. The generator or dockside power must be operating in order to use the air
conditioner. Also, the shower sump pump should be switched on to remove any condensation. For
detailed instructions, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual provided in your Owner’s
Packet.

End-of-Life (EOL)
The carbon monoxide detector is equipped with a 5 year EOL timer, which operates continuously
and independently from a lithium battery. When the timer has run for 4 years and 11 months
from the date of manufacture, the unit will signal the first EOL alarm: The green LED will turn
off, the red LED will turn on and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds.
To temporarily reset the device to normal operation after the EOL alarm occurs, press and hold
the test/silence button until both lights come on. It will be reset for 72 hours and this process can
be repeated for 30 days. After 30 days the unit will continuously signal EOL and must be
replaced, as it will no longer detect CO.
N O T I C E
If your boat is removed from the water, leaving the seacock open will drain the water in the air
conditioning system. This may cause an air lock in the air conditioner water pump in subsequent
operation. To prohibit this drainage, simply close the air conditioner seacock. To winterize, leave
the seacock open so the water can drain and then remove any remaining water by blowing
pressurized air through the system. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual included in your
Owner’s Packet for additional winterizing information.
